Inspiration Friday-Journaling Jots

The product I wanted to highlight today are these fun Journaling jots that are part of the Simple Stories Elementary line. Of course you could use them for journaling on your pages but I wanted to suggest a few other ways to use them as well.



For this layout of my daughter's 100th day of school, I used some of the journaling jots as accents or embellishments. I grabbed a handful of them, lined them up, and then sewed them down to the page. I bent the tops and bottoms of the journaling jots just to add a bit more texture.


Supplies used: Simple Stories Elementary Teacher's pet paper, Elementary Report card paper, Elementary Journaling jots, Elementary Expressions Cardstock stickers, American Crafts Elementary coordinating cardstock pack, Ranger distress ink (vintage photo), sewing machine and thread



This would make a super easy gift to make and give. I simply wrapped a Hershey's candy bar up with cardstock, put a journaling jot on top and popped it up with a pop-up glue dot!!


Supplies Used: Hershey's candy bar, Elementary Bookworm paper, Elementary Journaling jost, Pop-Up Glue dots

For this card I used a journaling jot and just added a simple thank you greeting to it.


Supplies Used:American Crafts Kraft Cardstock, Elementary Flashcards paper, Elementary Report Cards paper, Elementary Journaling jots, Elementary Expressions Cardstock stickers, Sewing machine and thread

Hopefully this gives you some new ideas or ways to use up those journaling jots!!
