More of My Harry Potter Journal

Hi everyone. I hope your weekend is going well. 

Since my husband is in recuperation mode, it's a fairly quiet weekend at my house. Our dining room light stopped working the other day, so  that's been the project my husband is playing around with. He's not feeling 100%, but pretty close, so the light project is just enough to keep him busy, but not so strenuous it will wear him out. Yesterday  I cleaned out a cabinet that needed to be organized for about 10 years. Phew, I am glad that is done because every year I write it down on the to do list. I'm glad I won't have to add next year!😀

 I'm back today with some more pages from my Harry Potter journal. I had  a lot of fun making this project.  One reason I had so much fun was the subject and the fact that I already had this book of HP stickers. I was glad to have a good place to use some of the stickers, and I tried to use them in a creative way and not just stick them onto paper. Whether I succeeded or not is up the eye of the viewer.

I also enjoyed making this album in a 3 ring binder. I certainly was able to get it completed a lot faster than in a bound or glued journal because I could work on multiple pages during a sitting. Of course that meant I had a lot of pages on the floor drying too. 😏 

This first page in today's post was actually quite easy to make because I recently found a half done card I had started a long time ago. The back of it had gotten crushed, but the dragon in the window design on the front was still in good shape. Since the dragon in Diagon Alley at Harry Potter world was my favorite  "creature" in the park, I cut out this image from the card.  My background was made by inking some blue and wine colored ink pads, and then I added the sticker quote

The page below is actually the front of a greeting card I picked up in the park. The Dumbledore image is actually holographic, but with my camera it didn't pick up the other view.

I cut the front of the card off, and on the back  I made this page.

  My next page is about a ride we took, Hagrid's Flying Motorbikes. I used stickers and some rubber stamps on this one, as well as a bit of drawing. 

I also die cut the pumpkins and added a postage stamp that came on a card from Elle either on a Halloween or Christmas card. The ride is similar to the postage stamp, a motorcycle with the sidecar.

It was easy to do a bit of window shopping in Diagon Alley, and my sticker book had lots of matching stickers. The top page is made from acetate with a die cut window and are the windows we looked into.

You can lift it and see what's underneath.

And the rest of the pages for this post are various places we visited in the park, starting with the Knight's Bus. I stenciled and colored in the stars and added the other postage stamp that came on the same card from Elle I mentioned earlier. The quote is stamped. I used a couple of stickers on the page also.

We also went to a wand store where they had a little demonstration of how your wand picks you. I chose to use Dunbledore with his wand fighting "he who should not be named", even though the show was nothing to do with any battle scenes.Those of you not familiar with Harry Potter, Dumbledore is the head of the school, and "he who should not be named" is the dark and evil character.

 Gringott's, the bank, is where the witches and wizards stored their gold, so I needed gold paper for my background. 

Finally for this post a sticker page about the Weasley twins  joke shop.  I had a lot of stickers that worked for this store. 

 I have one more post to show you  of my journal. I hope you're enjoying seeing it. 

I'll be linking up this post to Gillena's Sunday Smiles . 

Have a great rest of your weekend and start to the new week.
