​​Hi all, well what a week! I hope that you are all staying safe. I am thinking of each and every one of you xx

Today I am creating vintage collage sheets using a variety of ephemera, die cuts and papers. These can then be used as master boards that you can scan and print and reprint as you wish. You could also edit them in image software to make them black and white or sepia toned. They make great happy mail to send out or to use in Junk Journals, creative journaling and art journals.

These were created for a challenge over in my Facebook Art Journaling Group

I hope that the video inspires you to create your own. 

​It's been a while since I updated my 'Happiness' junk journal and there were a good few pages that I still hadn't done any journaling on. I decided to dust it off and get some creative journaling done on some old book pages using ​this months kit from the Lollipop Box Club.

For ​these first two pages I used gesso to cover the pages with a thin layer. This is not something I would usually do, but I was trying out the gesso, hahaha. I do actually like the effect it gave and it did make the pages more sturdy.

It's been an awfully long time since I created any art at all, especially a mixed media collage. So with that in mind I decided it was time to get out the paints, books and glue and get creating.

I had already created the background using a Gelli Plate so was ready to go straight in to creating a collage. I wanted it to have a slight 'zetti style', but with a more vintage seaside vibe. 

Have a look at the creative process in the video below. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel for future videos.

​In this post I am making a variety of handmade Christmas cards using paper from the Lollipop Box Club's November box, Crafty Bonbons Dec box and from a recent stamping workshop at the Mama Makes Christmas get together. I have also made a lovely watercolour card and some festive wrapping and envelopes.

Eek, not long to go before Christmas is here, it's gone so fast this year. This is my last Bloggers Like us post for the year and this time around we were all given a prompt to create our blog post. My prompt was given to me by Kelly and it was 'Christmas Cards'. Check out the other bloggers posts here:
