So it is time to add some more to my latest junk journal and I made a video on how to make a multi-tag pocket that can hold various ephemera ideas, such as tickets, photos, and other small mementos, and discover how to incorporate it into your junk journal design. I use just one sheet of paper to create the pocket then decorate it up with some stickers, journaling cards and a cute little cluster.

That time has simply flown by and I am sincerely thankful that we have been able to keep in contact with our friends in the US as well as settling in our new lives back here and spending time with family which was our principle reason for returning. Although Thanksgiving is not recognised here in the UK we are cooking our Thanksgiving Lunch as I write this!

Today’s challenge is ‘Shades of Blue & Green’ I chose to do a floral design based on a teacup I bought recently! I chose to focus on using card, dies and a punch, with a little ribbon thrown in. As you will see from the video, apart from the card base I used scraps to build my decorative pieces.
Continue readingIn my quest to try new products I came across White Pearl Embossing Powder which I am using on my card today. As you will see from the video it gives a very soft and elegant finish along with the swirly stamp I chose as my focal point.
Continue readingI have a great niece who just had her 12th birthday, it is so hard to make cards for youngsters (well it is for me!) kinda no longer children but not quite adults yet either! Todays card features a die cut that I colored with alcohol markers then double heat embossed to give it a super duper shine
Continue readingI am starting to think about decorative elements for my junk journal, the signatures (pages) are done and I am still trying to summon up the courage to make a cover and sew them in. So a little prevarication means I have some pretty embellishments to add once I face that task 🙂
