Junk Journal

I used the Tim Holtz Idea-ology worn notebook binder for this junk journal. I assembled the book using leftover papers from previous projects. I stamped, washi-taped and sticker-ed to my hearts content! Includes foldouts, tucks and journaling cards. Lots of collaging, but still room for notes and journaling! Ring bound journal allows you to easily re-arrange your pages! Fun project!

Loving The Fall!

Hmmm...Is it Autumn or Fall ? Interested in what the Merriam-Webster Dictionary has to say ? Click here.

As they say...Happy Fall Y'all !

Denim Sashiko Card Case

This was an easy to sew denim card case using one piece of fabric. I chose to add some sashiko stitching to the fabric before I sewed the card case. The finished dimensions for this two pocket card case are  4.25 x 3 inches.

You can find an easy to follow tutorial at The Sewing Room Channel to make this simple to sew card case. She also shows you how to add a snap closure. I chose to make mine a foldover style.

Great size for business cards or even a nice presentation if giving a gift card!
 

Azuma Bukuro

Azuma Bukuro also known as a Japanese Bento Bag or sometimes referred to as market or origami bags. A stylish way to wrap a present or stash your knitting project when on the go!

A popular style bag and easy to sew, you'll have no problem finding tutorials on the web if you're interested.

I made a few others, see my previous post here.

Hummingbird

Was able to capture a few shots of this hummingbird at our feeder over the summer.

"Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love, joy and celebration. The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation."

Autumn Bursts of Color !

The forest is coming alive with vibrant color!

Enjoying the cooler crisper air on early morning walks. No mistaking the signs of Autumn ! 

I love sweater weather!

Mini Christmas Junk Journal

 I created this 3x5 inch Mini Christmas Junk Journal in a black and white theme and a few pops of color using My Porch Prints digitals and donated it to a non-profit organization called dAFi, Disabled Artist Foundation, Inc and it will be auctioned off at their next event scheduled for noon on Saturday, October 14, 2023. Wonderful cause run by a great hardworking group of folks. They energize through the arts and give free art packages to financially qualified disabled artists. Check them out!

Below is a short video of the little journal that comes in its' own handmade drawstring gift bag!
