Retro Cookie Journal Made by Me!

     I just completed making a cute retro Kawaii "Cookie" journal scrapbook. It was so much fun to create and sew! I began with this lovely retro vintage sweet animal fabric in green with adorable cookie tins on it like Butter Cookies, Biscuits, and Assorted cookie tins on the fabric. I took this adorable fabric and added some hot pink pom pom trim and for the inside, this floral blue fabric I got from my local "Goody Store". 

 I decided to get some cookie style cabs and found some online. Once they arrived, I added them along with the pastel pink ribbon. I had sewn the ribbon and than added this yummy "Pretzel" style butter cookie as an accent on top of the ribbon. So cute and yummy to look at as well!

 Inside the journal, I added a pocket holder to hold stickers and others small items, I even added dividers in neutral and pastel rose colors. I also added some clear card pages to each section along with some journal pages and yellow card stock style pages. I had these Sakuma fruit & creme candy packaging that work well as pockets to hold other goodies, and lastly a popcorn bag at the end to hold larger paper items or sticker sheets. All you have to do is fill it up with what you'd like to put into the journal!

 

As you can see there are some extras inside already for the lucky person who wants to adopt this OOAK journal piece. I had fun creating it. Below, a short video on TikTok looking at the journal pages! Journal is already listed in my shop!

Some other finds that came in!! I got these Amifa Licca Chan set of goods that were released recently. I wanted the acrylic doll stands, clips, bags, and sticker set. So many cute retro Licca Chan dolliness! These will be great to add to my dolly journal once I get that made. Haha!

Next, I found this adorable Meyercord decal of two bears and a basket. Just too cute! A great addition to my collection. It's about medium in size and I don't see these types too often. So it was nice to discover this one! Sadly, it's getting harder to find new to me decals!

Last, this adorable Krueger puppy rattle doll. So small at about 5 inches tall. He is in awesome vintage condition and a lovely addition to my collection!

I hope your month of May is as fruitful as mine!! Happy Thrifting guys!!
