Ice Ornament Recipe

January 16, 2022January 16, 2022 ~ ginamakesit ~ 2 Comments

Last year, I discovered a beautiful craft perfect for cold weathered days -- ice ornaments. After I made my first batch, my mom and I spent many an hour gushing over them. This is no exaggeration. Combining the best of what winter has to offer, these ornaments are simply breathtaking. If you have the opportunity … Continue reading Ice Ornament Recipe

Wintering — A New Junk Journal Kit

January 9, 2022March 6, 2023 ~ ginamakesit ~ 1 Comment

As my journaling practice evolves, inevitably so do my junk journals. If you follow me on YouTube or Instagram, it's no big shock to hear me say within this last year, I have found myself completely aligned with the seasons. The rhythm of nature and the turning of the seasons has become the drum to … Continue reading Wintering — A New Junk Journal Kit

Happy New Year!

January 2, 2022March 6, 2023 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

In my latest YouTube video, I took some time to look over my journals from the last year. 2021 without a doubt, has been my most productive journaling year to date. I don't think I have ever utilized a journal every month or every two months consecutively in a year. It really feels like quite … Continue reading Happy New Year!

There’s a little less than 2 weeks before Christmas and I recently found a few fun (and vintage of course!) holiday-themed audio books to help capture the feelings of the season. If you are searching for a book chock full of traditional winter cheer, here are a few suggestions to put you perfectly in the … Continue reading Capture the Feelings of the Season

Celebrating the Beauty of December

December 1, 2021March 6, 2023 ~ ginamakesit ~ 2 Comments

Two years ago, I'd laugh if you told me December would become a favorite month of mine. December? The month that signaled the start of what seemed like an endless string of long, dark, and chilly days? No way! The first of December usually marked the point I would begin counting out on my fingers … Continue reading Celebrating the Beauty of December

Layered Flowers — Free Templates

November 7, 2021March 6, 2023 ~ ginamakesit ~ 1 Comment

I've been making the large version of these layered flowers for a few years now as hair clips. They look so cute clipped right above a bun or ponytail. But recently, I thought they would also make great journal embellishments, so I decided to make a template with three different sizes -- free for you … Continue reading Layered Flowers — Free Templates

Vintage Photo Corners — Free Template

October 24, 2021March 13, 2023 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

I've been wanting to make some vintage photo corners for a while now because I simply love the look of them! And you might be saying, well you can easily just cut some little triangles out to make them, but trust me, I've tried that and they're just never even. So I decided to create … Continue reading Vintage Photo Corners — Free Template

Free Vintage-Inspired Watercolor Pumpkins

October 20, 2021March 6, 2023 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

I love to paint and draw, but if truth be told, I'm not really that good at it. I think a large part of the problem is that I simply don't practice enough. I have recently tried to incorporate more practice into my weekly goals, but life gets so hectic! Last year right around this … Continue reading Free Vintage-Inspired Watercolor Pumpkins

Chickadees — Free Vintage Friday

October 15, 2021March 6, 2023 ~ ginamakesit ~ 1 Comment

Image Source I call my husband St. Francis of Assisi because animals just kind of flock to him. Cats and dogs follow him home; squirrels befriend him; it's just in him. He was always trying to sneak bird feeders in the yard, but I always discouraged them because I felt they were a teeny bit … Continue reading Chickadees — Free Vintage Friday

New Fall Journal + Circle of Leaves — Free Vintage Friday

October 8, 2021March 6, 2023 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

The calendar says it's October 8 and while it feels more like August 8 outside, the leaves have indeed begun to turn and float softly to the ground. My Summer Twilight journal was quickly coming to an end, so I knew it was time to start working on a new fall journal. I used an … Continue reading New Fall Journal + Circle of Leaves — Free Vintage Friday

Oh, June—you’re just so sweet. 🌸
This first Sunday in June, I spent some time in the garden, tidied the house, caught up in my journal and went exploring on my bike. It was the picture perfect end of spring kind of day when the sun is warm, the breeze is cool and all seems right in the world, at least for the moment.
It’s a little chilly tonight and lighting a candle seemed appropriately cozy.
Today was a beautiful day.
New digital kit added to the shop tonight — Spring Sampler —complete with a floral stuffed Victorian boot. ☺️☺️
Mother’s Day is a wonderful time to use all of the pastels in my studio, including all of the avocado-dyed paper I have stashed away. Have you made any? It creates such a a beautiful rosy color.
