Junk Journal

Posted on February 27, 2020 by sharon

A couple of weeks ago I saw a video on youtube on how to make a junk journal. I hadn’t heard of them before so I watched a couple of videos. Then I saw a video that used an old Readers Digest book cover to create a junk journal. My Dad had dozens of them when I was growing up and wondered if he still had them. So I called him and asked and he did, however they weren’t the books I had originally thought of, they were older than I remember. In fact the have so much more character than I had remembered.

I created this Journal using old pages from notebooks, some DSP and the book cover from the Readers Digest. I threaded some bakers twine through the sheets of paper to create a book and then added memorabilia to it. These photos of the finished project with out additional items and photos in it.

I am holding a class this week on how to make them. My classes are Friday 28th at 10am and Saturday 29th 10am. If you’d like to join me you can see more details on my facebook page or click on this link.

This is one of the videos that I saw originally which inspired me to create a Junk Journal

Timeless Tropical

Posted on February 25, 2020 by sharon

The Timeless Tropical stamp set is a gorgeous set that has so many lovely images in the set including the hibiscus flower and the frangipani, not to mention the leaves in the set.
I created 2 of the cards fairly easily using the blog hop I did in January but then changed up the hibiscus colour to match the card base. I did a quick search and found lots of other colours that the flower could be and played with them.

I then went to a come and play day at my team leaders home and came up with the other two cards. I’m happy with the final result of all 4 of the cards.

These 4 cards are the ones we’ll be making in this weeks classes. If you’d like to come along and make these cards with me, then click on this link to see more details.

Team Blog Hop #15

Posted on February 14, 2020 by sharon

Welcome to our Team Blog Hop #15. This months challenge is to use pre-determined colours of Seaside Spray, Rococo Rose & Purple Posy. These are 3 current In Colors that go beautifully together. The hardest part was to choose what stamp set I wanted to use but finally settled on “Beautiful Moments” which is such a gorgeous stamp set. It was designed in collaboration with a New Zealand million dollar achiever and just love this set.

I started off making 2 cards and then decided to create a simple scrapbook page as well. I tried to stamp the image in one of the colours and then colour it in with my blends but I just wasn’t getting the look I wanted so used the Momento black Tuxedo ink and then coloured in the images. I don’t have the seaside spray blends so I improvised and used my Wink of Stella and the stamp pad to colour in the buckets. I love how it gives the images some sparkle.
