Free Letter Writing Template

April 2, 2021May 17, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ 6 Comments

My love of paper, stationary, and books started at a young age. Reading was always second nature to me and playing with paper, stickers, and stationary soon followed. Collections grew and interests expanded into all corners of the papercrafting world. Within the last few years, journal-making and journaling quietly settled as a constant presence in … Continue reading Free Letter Writing Template

New Garden Planner & Journal

It's springtime in my sliver of the universe, which means it's time to start working the backyard soil. I am by no means an expert gardener, but I do have a few raised beds I like to plant a variety of seeds and seedlings in and watch grow. Each year after a successful experience or … Continue reading New Garden Planner & Journal

Altered Winter Book

February 19, 2021May 17, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

Hi, friends! I can't believe it's almost September. Actually, I don't want to believe it's almost September.

So to prepare for the inevitable September, I was disassembling my … Continue reading Mood Board Journal

Hello out there in the blogosphere! Today I am finally sharing part two of my Making A Journal series, demonstrating how to sew signatures into a hard-covered journal in a way that doesn't show the binding itself. It's hiding!

Hello out there! Today, I am embarking on what I *think* will be a 3-part series of how to make a hard-covered journal. The first part, today's feature, shows you how to make a hard cover using chipboard.

I’ve read that some Native American tribes believe if you catch a butterfly, whisper your wish to it and set it free, the butterfly will deliver your wish to the spirits, who will grant it. 🦋
I have a little bustling strawberry crop in my backyard this year and after multiple failed attempts to grow strawberries, I am celebrating! 🥳 🍓
3 Ways to Journal Smarter, my new YouTube video, is now live on my channel—> YouTube.com/GinaMakesIt
The sun shone so boldly this morning through the window in my craft room. It felt good to finally sit down beneath its warmth and create without the heavisome worry of time brooding over me.
A few months ago, I received a @yourcreativestudio box filled with a beautiful vintage wildflower collection. I opened it today and on my YouTube channel, I posted a video of an envelope pocket I made for future journal sessions using contents from the box. YouTube.com/GinaMakesIt
