Altered Canister and 5x5 Art Journal

Here are instructions on how to alter a canister and 5x5 art journal. Here are all the supplies you will need to make the projects, followed by instructions to make them.

Supplies:

5x5 Art Journal
Sponge Dauber
Pretties
Stampin' Pastels
Anywhere Glue Stick
Sticky Strip
Spiral Punch
Coluzzle Cutting System
Mini Glue Dots
Making Memories collection canister
Fall Flowers Designer Series Paper
On Board Simon Upper Chipboard
Chocolate Chip Craft Stamp Pad
Chocolate Chip 8 1/2 x 11 card stock
Chocolate Chip Wide Grosgrain Ribbon
Chocolate Chip Tafetta Ribbon
Creamy Caramel Gingham Ribbon.
Bone Folder

Altered Canister:
Using the Coluzzle, cut a circle out of the Fall Flowers Designer Paper.
Next sponge Chocolate Chip Craft Ink with the sponge dauber onto the Chipboard letter and let it dry.
Then sponge color from the Stampin' Pastels with the sponge dauber to the Pretties Flower and apply a Halfback Pearl to the center with a mini glue dot.
Attach all three items to the jar with Sticky Strip to ensure they would not come off.
Tie Chocolate Chip wide grosgrain to the top of the jar.

Altered Journal:
Take a strip of Chocolate Chip card stock to put on thesprial edge. You will need to mark off where the first spiral bind is and the last to the cards tock. After you do that, you will need to cut a small slit with your paper snips so that you can make your first spiral punch. After you are done you will glue it down and it will be hardly noticable.
Glue the Fall Flowers paper and the Chocolate Chip card stock down with the Anywhere Glue Stick. Then take your bone folder and press down on the paper you just applied to the chipboard journal so that the glue gets into the creases of the chipboard. This will ensure you paper on staying on and not peeling off in time.
Apply Wide Chocolate Chip grosgrain with your monoadhesive in between the Chocolate Chip card stock and Fall Flowers paper.
Next sponge Chocolate Chip Craft Ink with your sponge dauber onto the Chipboard letter and let it dry.
Tie Chocolate Chip Ribbon and Creamy Caramel Gingham to the spiral edge of the journal.
