This week's Sunday Postcard Art challenge was "Coffee Stains."

It turns out the challenge meant coffee stained paper, when I thought it meant coffee cup ring type stains. I had already been struggling with this theme, so I finally had to enforce my time limit rule and declare, "Pencils down!"

I created this using GIMP 2.10.22.

Journal Back Pocket

I created a back pocket for my weekly planner/journal that I'm using for The Documented Life Project .

I made a 4 and 3/4" wide by 5" high pocket with a 1/4" seam on the left, bottom, and right sides of it using GIMP 2.8.8, then printed it out on card stock paper. After cutting it out and folding over the 1/4" seams, I used an Elmer's glue stick on the seams, then glued it onto the back cover of the journal. (I inserted a piece of paper under the seams so that the glue didn't get onto the back side of the pocket when I applied it onto the seams.)

After that, I created a "Journal Skin" to cover my weekly planner/journal with, so I can change it out over time. I draped that over the left side of the journal for this photo, and put a tag that I had created into the back pocket. You can see the "Journal Skin" on the weekly planner/journal in this post.

The pocket images are from a DuckDuckGo search.

"Coffee Car" – Tag

This week’s Tag Along challenge #19 was "Tickets."

I searched my stash of ticket images but didn't know what to do for an overall theme. When I found the 1897 Henri Meunier Rajah Advertising Poster among my PNG images, I decided to make a "Coffee Car" ticket for the Metro North New Haven Line railroad. They have a "Bar Car" on some of the trains sometimes, although no special ticket is required to be in it.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.8.

The images are from a DuckDuckGo search.

The font is Georgia Bold.
