    Flexing my creative muscles

    June 23, 2024 - By 

    It’s been a hot minute since I’ve used my creative side. I’ve got a project scheduled for July, so I need to get my hands dirty and make some things! How’s that for a teaser…

    While cleaning up my creative space, I found an incomplete 7×7 scrapbook album that I’d totally forgotten about. It works perfectly for loose leaf/ stand alone journal pages which happen to be a favorite of mine.

    Instead of continuing to clean my space I had a little side quest and made this journal page.  It felt so amazing to have gluey, painty fingers again!

    Junk journal pages from long ago

    March 30, 2023 - By 

    Technically these aren’t super long ago… but a couple months old. Honestly, with the way this winter is dragging on and on it still feels a bit like January-February. It’s all just a cold white blur.

    My wonky junky journal is getting super thick. I’m on the last signature and am trying to be a bit more aware of the thickness of embellishments I am using. 

    I hadn’t realized that I never posted any of these pages. Thankfully I was looking through the folders on my laptop and discovered my error.

    I love the colors in this one. I was certainly wishing for warmer days when I created this one.

    This page has hidden journaling about my baby girl turning 20! What in the world…that just isn’t possible.

    Again with this page I am wishing for springtime. How foolish I was to think it was coming anytime soon.

    I used a scrap of fabric to make a little fabric flip to hide a bit of journaling.

    When I finished this page I realized that my date stamp ended with 2022. I had to improvise. Since then I ordered this new date stamp. My problem is solved until 2032.
