Continuing with my file folder photos, this is Spread #4. I adhered a library pocket on the left-hand page to insert a tag that I stamped and distressed.
The tags, on the right-hand page, were secured with staples and this is the very first time I stapled anything to my artwork - it was a little unnerving, for me, but felt it kind of fit the distressed style of this journal.
Just a note - I'm up to 491 posts on my Blog! As soon as I reach my 500th post, I'm going to celebrate it with a fun giveaway. :)
Safe and happy thoughts to all of you!
Love, Marilyn xxoo

YOu are just SOOO good Marilyn!!
Now thats what I call COMMITMENT!
500 posts is really an accomplishment and real dedication. I think I like the idea of the staples included in this work. You are right, it does add to the rusticity of it. Nice work.
Love this one too!

Love you journal.....and that's a lot of typing my friend!!!
Good for you!!!
I had been trying to figure out who inspired me to decorate file folders recently, it had to be you. Thanks!
I'm loving what you're doing with these.
PS, when packing for our move up north I just came across a reused packing envelope that recycled it's way to me from Corrine. Makes the world just a wee bit smaller!

Great spread Marilyn. I just hit 400 so drop by and throw your name in the hat. I have been so inspired by your energy lately that I did some serious collage play today. xox Corrine
Just keeps getting better and better! Love the color and technique. Love your pages and your posts, keep on sharing!
I've been making tags with left-over paint at the end of the day, which makes for some interesting color patterns. Now, I need to add stamps and use them in my journal. That is a great idea! I love stuff stapled in...sort of "rustic industrial", LOL, just made that up!
Wow, love your journals, great colours!
Love your journals!
ooh, the gorgeous journal again. I love the feel and style of this Marilynn.
Marilyn your file folder art journal is one of my favorite projects you have shared. I love how the pages just seem to flow together. Stapling to your page is unnerving at first yet the result is perfect. Keep posting and 500 is quite the milestone. Sunny days to you as we come to Easter celebrating...
These are amazing Marilyn! And I smiled a big smile reading your sump pump bliss!
