When it turns into a mini-book.
I used the gorgeous 49&Market Tranquility Card Kit,
adhered one card to another to another and . . .
In the photo above, you can see I used the
Vintage Artistry Tranquility Ephemera Pack
to add side pockets.
This is such a beautiful collection and so versatile!
Folded and tied up with a piece of ribbon.
Uplifted by Mango!
Recovered from almost a month with Covid
(in spite of all the shots)
and while in quarantine, had a chance to work with
one of my favorite
49 & Market Collections - Mango.
It's not a bad thing to hoard beautiful paper.
Thanks for watching.
Look what happened!
Having admired their paper and detailed die-cuts
I am very excited to announce I am a Team Member!
And here are my Team Mates:
What a way to start a new year!
I'll be teaching and scrappin' at the
Road Trippin' Crop in Lebanon MO
with
450 people strong!
Here are my two Button Farm Club workshops:
A super-interactive folio from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts.
I'm using 49 & Market papers and ephemera to decorate each page & flip.
This Halloween folio can be used to store 12+ photos of one of our favorite holidays.
Using a folio from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts,
and decorated by me with Graphic 45 Charmed paper,
this workshop is easy to create and so much fun!
Hope to see you in Lebanon.
If you're part of the Road Trippin' Crop you can sign up for my workshops here:
Graphic 45 papers are amazing to work with.
And when you have leftovers from any of their kits,
it's double the fun.
For this project I began with a very small box:
What is a junk journal? According to google, "a Junk Journal is a handmade book of recycled and found materials and ephemera. The pages can be used to write, draw, paint or record memories, thoughts, ideas, and inspiration. The finished junk journal can become anything you want."
Since I'm using up these gorgeous Graphic 45 Cottage Life papers, I'm calling this a "junque" journal. Everything sounds fancier in French! Below you'll find photos of the last couple of pages.
Since I'm not sure how I'm going to use this yet,
I decided to keep a space for photos.
When I design a page, I like to repeat
a little something I did on the page prior
thus
the fussy cut roses.
If I'm using a belly band on a page,
I don't want my tickets, cards, tags to fall through the bottom,
so I make a "ledge"
by cutting a strip and raising the bottom of the strip
with pop-ups.
It's a "catch-all".
On to the next page.
Tags, note cards, etc through a belly band again.
The blue tag is cut in 1/3 and decorated with Dare To Dream
then glued to the belly band.
Hanging tickets are skinny and fun to do!
I decided to cut off the side of the last page
so that it also would measure 8" wide.
Then added papers to the 3 pockets
and a bit of vintage lace.
Not sure what I'm going to use this for yet,
but ready for the next trip,
outing with the girls,
or reminders that I need.
Thanks for visiting!
Still playing with my file folder junque journal.
I've added a couple of things to the cover:
a cottage cut apart
Dwell In Possibility cut apart
and a partial tag with a charm
The moved on to the inside. This is the inside front cover:
The roses in the lower left corner are fussy cut and tucked behind is a tag
with lots of removeable parts:
The first page is created by taking an 8.5x11 cardstock,
cut it down to 8" x 11"
and score on the 11" side at 3" and at 3-1/2".
The 1/2" is attached to the spine of the file folder.
The 3" becomes a pocket.
The remainder becomes a page where
I attached journaling pages.
You can see the blue cardstock spine in the photo below.
The rest of the cardstock page becomes a place for photos.
More tomorrow!
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Well, more than a few minutes for this one.
I'm using my leftover papers from the last
Graphic 45 Card Club Kit with Cottage Life.
In my stash I found a Pendaflex file folder that has 3 pockets
and am using that to create a small junk journal.
Here's the inside showing the 3 pockets.
Cool huh!
I cut the folder down to a height of 8".
Decorated the front cover and am working on the inside.
Join me tomorrow for more photos.
