Tutorial: Using the Savannah Documenter Kit with Ginny Hughes

I started by backing the star cards with a matching background card, I really wanted the stars to stand out. I then wrote just a few lines of journaling on the remaining room on the cards.

I also tried the Heidi Swapp Reactive Foil for the first time & I will tell you that I am hooked, I might foil everything from now on. I used a laminator that I already had on hand, yes you can use a laminator! How cool. I printed the digital journal cards from Hello Forever on my regular inkjet printer and then took that sheet to a copy machine that uses toner, you will need the toner to react to the foil. I placed the journal card and the foil into a plain piece of copy paper that I had folded in half, it acted as my carrier sheet, and ran it through the laminating machine. It worked like a charm. I can say that I tried it on some of the cards that had a light image and it didn't work as well, I believe it needed the dark image of the number 2 to work the best.

I added the multicolor 4x6 card from the Nes Verk Documenter add on kit to add in some golf color & to tie the 2 sides together. I also added a small strip of the same pattern up in the left corner to pull those colors to the other side as well.

When I am using 2 3x4 sized journaling cards or photos together in a 4x6 pocket I will adhere them down to a 4x6 card that I have in my stash that I know I won't be using. It keeps them from sliding around in the pocket and I still feel like I am getting a good use out of my supplies, even if not the way they were intended to be used.

I added in a few letter stickers for their initials and a "Love" label from the Nes Verk kit to finish the spread off. I love the way it turned out, such fun colors.
