CAS-ual Friday embossed journal

I'm back with more embossing for Cas-ual Friday's challenge! This time I've made a journal for my niece, Sydney! I used MME patterned paper for the cover, layered on yummy May Arts ribbons & burlap string & used a CAS Unity sentiment stamp that I heat embossed with white powder.

I'll also add this to the All Things Unity challenge too- 'anything goes' & Friends with Flair (my first time for both- not sure you can do both?)!
Thanks for stopping by! I'd love to hear what you think!
