More Eileen Hull Wrapped Journals!

The Wrapped Journal frenzy continues! Eileen Hull's newest journal die is sure to please and after our long, impatient wait is finally appearing in stores. Her Inspiration Team is sharing journal and other projects all month long that utilize her new Book Club Chapter 2 Collection of which the Wrapped Journal is a cornerstone. Eileen Hull is also the sponsor this month over at Mixed Media Monthly and she sent some Wrapped Journal die cuts to the MMM Design Team and they had lots of fun with those! Inspiration abounds! Be sure to head on over to check out the June 'Wrap it Up' challenge and join in for a chance to win one of Eileen's dies.

And now for one of my favorite projects (better grab a seat and a cup of something)…

Looooots of board game ephemera all throughout the inside:

and more game goodies on the spine (I had fun at the thrift stores hunting for it all!)

Hang on for some how-to!

Step 1 – I collaged Monopoly money onto the outside of the journal cover.

I also lightly brayered chalk paint over the cover…

…and the inside cover:

Step 2 – I used stencils to add further layers to the front and inside covers. Some were just plain ink and other parts I also embossed with embossing powder.

Step 3 – I used elastic for the binding so I could easily slip the signatures underneath the straps.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to head on over to the "Wrap it Up" challenge at MMM:
