Just sharing an art journal page that I created in my Readers Digest Art Journal (it’s the art journal book I got down at Marta’s retreat at Handmade at Helens) 😉

Anyway.. I thought I would share art journal page number #2 with you, I am still trying to get the hang of art journaling.. I’ll keep practicing 😉

Pom Pom Paper Clips

Hi Everyone..

I was out for lunch today at Loch Leven’s Larder and whilst we were waiting for a table, we had a browse around the shop, where they have loads of gifty things and I happened to spy pom pom paper clips, they were silver clips with white pom poms, and they were not cheap! …  now I thought to myself, I can make them!, I have all the stuff  in my wee shed!… I will make some when I get home, and I did 🙂 and here they are 😉

supplies list:-

• Pom Poms – Hobbycraft sell huge bags of them
• Paper Clips – I bought a plastic tub from Asda for £2 (it had paper clips and Push pins and other clips in it)
• UHU Glue £1 from the Pound shop (really any glue will do use what you have to hand)

Now these a fairly inexpesive to make and look really nice and if you have kids they will go down a treat, plus I am sure they will love to have a go at making these too!

I hope that you will have a go at making some too… I’m sure your children/grandchildren will love these for when they start back at school… hey they are even great for taking into the office 🙂

As always, thank you for popping round

Button hole book binding

Hi everyone…

I have a couple of cute little handmade books to share with you…. I attended a workshop at Stampers Grove in Edinburgh this afternoon on button hole book binding with Cass Barron and it was such a fab workshop, if you ever get a chance to take a class with Cass jump at the chance as you will not be disappointed here is a link to her Facebook Page 😊

And here is a view inside at the signatures

We finished our first books with some spare time left over so we got to start making another book, which I completed once I got home

I plan to make another couple tomorrow … they are so much fun to make..

i will leave a link to the stampers grove workshop list here as Cass has a few more workshops planned throughout the summer, they are not to be missed 🙂

thank you for popping in, as always 😊

Leather Travel Journal

Hi Everyone!..

I bought a 3 pack of nice notepads at my local supermarket (asda) this morning because I wanted to make a travel journal… I had bought a leather bundle off Amazon about a month ago with this project in mind and also for making a few other upcoming projects too 🙂

I love how it turned out.. the leather was a scrap but was big enough to cover the 3 books which were held in place with elastic hair bands and have enough to have a flap to fold over the front, which i didn’t trim and left it in the shape it was..

I have to say I do love it, but want to make another, this time actually stitching it onto the leather cover rather than with the elastic as I think I would prefer it to be more secure..

I think I will make up my own signatures for the next book too.. that should be fun and I have just the right paper in mind for it too 🙂

I was going to keep this blog post for tomorrow, but I was that excited about making it that I just had to share it with you tonight!

Thanks for popping in

Pot Luck Art Journal Workshop

Hi Everyone!..

Today I am sharing 2 art journal pages with you 🙂 … now if you have followed my blog for a while you will not have seen any art journal pages because I struggle with them big time!

So I headed over to Stampers Grove in Edinburgh yesterday to attend a workshop with Lorna Figures called Pot Luck Art Journaling and I really enjoyed myself… and managed to get one page finished and another page started which is a huge accomplishment and I kinda quite like the concept now.. so I am now the proud owner of a lovely new art journal, ranger apron and some Dina Wakeley Scribble Sticks 🙂

First picture is my finished page using my new scribble sticks 🙂

and this is my second page.. not quite there yet with this one .. but I will share it again with you once I finish it and i’m happy with it.. this page I used distress oxide inks

I am on holiday now for the next two weeks so hope to be up in my shed a lot more creating lots of crafty goodness…

My next project is going to be a travel journal, I have everything I need to make one and I have been itching to get it started so watch this space 😉

As always, thank you for popping round

Bon Voyage Card

Hi Everyone,

I have a wee Bon Voyage Card to share with you today, I was asked to make this for a friend at work, her friends are emigrating to Australia…

There were a few key elements to incorporate into the card including a Pina Colada..

Supplies used:-

• White Card Base 11″ x 5.5″ scored at 5.5″ to make a 5.5″ square card
• Bright & Cheery Patterned Paper
• First Edition Die Set which includes a pina colada cocktail glass
• Stitched square die
• Memory Box Alphabet Die Set

I also popped an Australian flag in the top right hand corner of the card ..

This was a fun card to make.
