"Mum's Journal Challenge 3"

Hello there,

How is your week going?  

Not too bad here, but been very wet and cold over the weekend. I stayed indoors as much as I could :) 

I have been progressing with some more pages of mum's journal with the next Mini Challenge in the group. Another six pages of making some more space for photos and journaling plus some pockets etc for extras.


I made a large pocket on the left to house one of the large tags I made and then I left the other side for photos or ephemera as I work in the journal.



I wanted to add something to record the endless cuppas and talks mum and I used to have. I decoupaged some teacups onto the coffee dyed paper then made an extra journaling/photo space.



Another couple of pockets with tags.  The one on the right is a double pocket. I made the transparent one on the front from some baking paper and sewed it onto the front of the napkin one.



A pretty plain one with some stencilling on the left and a tuck spot with a large pocket underneath, on the right.



I had a small paper gift bag and I used it for an extra pocket on the left. I added some pattern paper and a ruffle down the side. Some subtle stencilling on the right.



For the last one, I made two corner tucks for photos/ journaling and a bit of embellishment. The left one is just some paper and stamping.
Thanks for stopping by and having a peek at my journal. I hope you might get a few ideas to try also. Feel free to join the Junk Journals For Everone Group on FaceBook and Dive into the Big Chomp Challenge. The ladies are creating some lovely work and great challenges for the beginner or the advanced journal maker!!

"One Little Word - 2022"

 Hi Friends, I hope you are all well and things are good in your part of the world!!! I  had a bit of a spill, last Thursday morning at work. I hit the right side of my face, shoulder, elbow, arm, ribs, etc.....I wasn't rushing, just doing my job and it just happened.....  I am very bruised and sore, so off work for a week. Luckily this time, I didn't break anything and I am healing.  "The older you are the longer your body takes to recover"  Anyway.........This is keeping me pretty quiet, which is probably a good thing. I have been able to think about 2022 a bit and my "One Little Word" for the New Year. If you don't know what this is check out this blog by Ali Edwards who started it all in 2006........  "HERE" I don't bother with resolutions as they bore me. I choose a word to carry with during the year, that I can use in my daily life..........  I may not do something with it every day but that is ok. I do what I feel like doing. So

"Pj Day & My New Craft Space"

Image
 Hi Everyone, I hope you had a great week and the weekend is going well........ I am having a Pj day and a play in my new Craft Space :)  Probably like a lot of crafters out there.......when my boys were younger and home with me, I always used a part of the living room or the kitchen, for my scrapbooking and craft. I started off with one table, a small book case and basic tools, when I first started scrapbooking 20 years ago.  I have slowly built up my stash and it hasn't cost me a fortune, as I have recycled and bought the right pieces for my space. My boys have settled nicely into their home now and are getting on well. They both moved out when they were ready and I never pressured them.  Things happen and the right time eventually came. I loved having them at home, but it is also a new chapter for me with them leaving the nest...... So.......... after a few weeks of condensing, destashing, re-arranging, cleaning, sorting and moving in, my craft room is finally the way I want it

Mums Journal - Challenge 4"

Image
 Hello There, It is Thursday evening here in Victoria Australia, as we go into another 5-day lockdown!!!!! I think we are all over it but oh well!!!! Nothing really changes that much for us as we are Essential Workers...... After work this afternoon, I had a go at the Mini Chomp #4 which was to make two small notebooks to go into your journal..... These were fun to make and came together quickly, which if you know me, is a good thing :)  I folded some 6.5" square pattern paper in half and just stapled them with my long stapler. One of my most used tools. I just made a little collage on the front of them to embellish, using scraps on my desk. A few of the pages are above to show how I am going to use them in mum's journal. I used lightish pattern papers that could be written on and I also added some stamping, a few journal cards, and a couple of flip out pages to add extra photos or journaling.  The Junk Journaling for Everyone Group on FB is very friendly and helpful. I am enj
