Graphic 45 Wonder of Oz Journal Spread
By Janus Zate
“Our world has been revolving on such a fast paced society. Everything needs to be done in the quickest possible way. It’s ever changing and to be honest, it’s been hard to keep up.
Journaling has been my one true reprieve. The pages I fill out are simply mine and mine alone to express and understand. Sometimes it’s simply making use of what I have and the process is always enjoyable.
I made this page using Graphic 45’s Wonder of Oz rub-on transfers, stickers and ephemera along with butterflies stickers from Graphic 45 Flutter. It’s a perfect way to take a break from the stressful everyday tasks that feel like they are never ending.
I love mixing and matching different elements from different collections as they add a different personality to my spreads.

Papercrafting Tip
Don’t be afraid to mix collections. While Graphic 45 collections are beautifully coordinated, combining elements from different lines can add depth, personality, and unexpected charm to your projects. Try pairing themed ephemera with neutral patterns, layering stickers from multiple collections, or incorporating small scraps to create visual interest and texture on your journaling pages.
