Word of the Year Journaling 2023

15/1/2023

 
Word of the Year 2023. I have create a vintage journaling page / junk journal spread for my word: Thrive.

Word of the Year Journaling

Happy 2023... and I mean that! I have had a great start to the year and I start as I mean to go on, so my word of the year had to reflect that too. My word for 2023 is 'Thrive' and that's what I am hoping to do.

​​I didn't have the best of years in 2022 from May-October, so this year I want to 'Thrive'. Since then, I am the happiest I have been in years in my personal life, so I want to keep that happiness going and translate it in to positive energy in other areas of my life.

How to Create Vintage Collage Sheets

26/3/2020

 

Creating your own collage sheets and master boards

How to create vintage collage sheets and master boards using ephemera to scan and print and to create tear apart sheets. #vintagecollagesheets #createcollagesheets #collagesheets #vintageephemera
​​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

For free vintage ephemera downloads have a look at my blog post here

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

Creative Junk Journaling on Old Book Pages

24/2/2020

 
Creative Junk Journaling and memory keeping using altered old book pages and the Lollipop Box February kit. #alteredbookpages #junkjournaling
Please pin me to Pinterest to save for later

​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.
