#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 14 L

Today's letter L - licenses

For today's project I created a Father's Day card using a license plate background digital file by Jennifer Beebe. I love these files she created. Using the license plates as my theme, I added this dapper gentleman and his machine, as automobiles were often referred to in the early days.

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 13 K

K for Keys and Kraft

I made a fun key chain for my car themed project. 

My background papers are kraft, printed with a license plate background digital file by Jennifer Beebe. This is a free file that you can download at her Ko-fi shop. 

More license plates from the digital file. The gas pump and circle sign behind it are stamped images I cut out and colored with alcohol markers.

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 10 J

Day 10 J for Journal - it is finished. I love how it turned out. Hope you like it too. You probably recognize the pages as I worked on most of them over the past couple of weeks for ABC April, though I did make a few additions and changes here and there. 

Cover - Day 6 was  F - flowers

File folder with pockets and tags, inside front cover

Day 5 E - envelope This started as junk mail. Just an envelope I covered and folded to create pockets.

Pics, tags, and coin envelope inside the pockets.

Day 7 - G for gentlemen and gears

no doubt a love letter for this handsome gentleman 

Day 8 H - Haberdashery

This is one I was excited to use some of my vintage thrift store haul. 

Day 9 I - yesterday's mischievous little Impish Irish Immigrant. This little boy grew up to become an author. His name is Frank McCourt and you may have read his Pulitzer Prize winning book, Angela's Ashes.

Inside back cover. 

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 9 I

Day 9 I - Index tab, Irish Immigrant, Impish grin This little guy sure looks mischievous. Picture and info from a book sleeve I picked up in my thrift haul the other day. This is the last page for the journal I started earlier this week. Stay tuned tomorrow for the final flip through when our letter is J.

Index tab; also used one of the stick pins I made in mass make March, which includes a paper bead I made last year (I think we did these in Halloween Every Day).

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 8 H

#abcapril2026, Day 8 - H for Haberdashery

Sorry I'm late posting for yesterday's project. I got the pics and sat down to post only to find the internet was down. Oops. But all is well now and here you go with yesterday's project. Hope you like. I had such fun using some of the goodies I picked up in my thrift store haul the other day. 

Pattern tissue, flower, eyelet fabric and 30c fasteners from my thrift store haul.

The flower is made from authentic vintage seam binding. Charms from my stash. 

I don't know how old it actually is, but given the price of 13¢, I'd have to guess it is likely from the late 50s - early 60s.
