I’ve been at it again. Sewing bits and pieces together. This time I broke out some colored card stock for inspiration.
I added sentiments to this batch. I don’t seem to be running out out scraps any time soon so I’m sure there will be more.

I put some finishing touches on about half of the mini collages I’ve made over the last couple of days. They are addictive to make.
The rest I think should go on colored card stock and I didn’t have any of that cut, folded and ready to go. Plus I’ll likely match each collage to particular paper before cutting.These are my favorites from this batch of cards.
The flowers just seem to dress them up in a perfect way. -
I had so much fun making the first journal spread yesterday, I went back for another.
Once again I worked in my white journal. Boy, I just realized that I have 4 journals going at once. And I have an idea for yet another. I should probably wait on that idea at least until I fill one of the currents to capacity.
Tissue paper was used as a start for this page as well. It had been crumpled over and over again. Lots of tiny little creases. It started out very purple…or maybe violet. The color was a little too “in your face” for my taste. I used a couple of mists around the edges to tone it down to a dull roar.. The aqua washi tape begged me to use it with the new deeper shade of purple. The black and white just helped everything else pop on the page. I have this thing about circles…I use them all the time. They just make me happy I guess.So last evening I still hadn’t had enough creativity for the day. My sewing machine was still calling me. I grabbed bits and pieces of fabric, paper, fiber and trims to sew together for collage cards. I didn’t give it much thought…just went for it.
I made 21 mini collages that will eventually become greeting cards. Some will be left blank…others will have sentiments…some collages may not make the cut. Who cares…it was all scraps and bits laying around.
