Altered Winter Book

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

Have you ever made an altered book before? I've definitely altered books, but never made an actual altered book (keeping the book intact and ripping out the pages to create a journal). I had always admired them from a very far distance, but never tried. I found it quite intimidating. Do you leave the page … Continue reading Altered Winter Book

No Sew Valentine’s Day Mini-Book

February 5, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

Happy Friday, friends! Last night, I finished up my no sew Valentine's Day mini-book and boy, oh, boy, she sure turned into a chunky monkey. After making the mini-book tutorial on YouTube, I decided to stuff this mini-book with a "selfies through the years" of me and my husband. Watch the YouTube video now: https://youtu.be/_dpJapT-fTc … Continue reading No Sew Valentine’s Day Mini-Book

New Junk Journal for a New Year

January 23, 2021May 17, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

A few months back, I made a new junk journal using the Crate Paper/Maggie Holmes Heritage papercraft line. I happened to have an old blue book that matched the blues in this paper perfectly. I totally lucked out and purchased the paper and embellishments from Joann's when it was significantly reduced. I did not alter … Continue reading New Junk Journal for a New Year

Easy Monthly Documenting Using Journaling Cards

September 10, 2020 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

Hello friends! Today I am sharing a super easy way to 'document your dailies' using journaling or Project Life cards. I used this strategy for the entire month of August and it has probably been the easiest method to keep consistently. Like you, I have soooooooo mush stuff in my stash and while I like … Continue reading Easy Monthly Documenting Using Journaling Cards

Mood Board Journal

August 31, 2020May 17, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ 1 Comment

Hi, friends! I can't believe it's almost September. Actually, I don't want to believe it's almost September. I love summer and if it were up to me, all summers (and flower pots stuffed with zinnias) would be endless. But, alas, 'tis not the case. So to prepare for the inevitable September, I was disassembling my … Continue reading Mood Board Journal

DIY Valentine’s Day Embellishments

March 3, 2020March 3, 2020 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

Hey friends! Today I am sharing a collection of DIY Valentine's Day embellishments I made from all of those dusty, unused papers at the bottom of our Valentine's Day craft bins. I used these embellishments in a Valentine's Day mini-book I created from those same unloved papers. I started by pulling out all of the … Continue reading DIY Valentine’s Day Embellishments

Mini-Calendar Free Printable

February 23, 2020February 23, 2020 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

Inspiration hit the other night when I spied the cutest project on the Crate Paper Instagram feed. It was a little DIY calendar on a clipboard. This project was particularly inspiring for two reasons:  I was in need of a calendar in my craft studio and I also had two 6 x 9 clipboards sitting … Continue reading Mini-Calendar Free Printable

Weekly Menu Plan Free Printable

January 22, 2020January 22, 2020 ~ ginamakesit

Happy New Year! Like most of the earth's population, I am resigning a few things for 2020. Naturally, all of my resignations tie back to my One Little Word--Mindfulness. In essence, I am trying to stop stuffing a million things into one day and really focus on my tasks and approach them meaningfully, with thought … Continue reading Weekly Menu Plan Free Printable

Hey out there! Today I am sharing how I make my journal inserts for my traveler's notebook. It is such an easy process and so useful! I needed two notebooks for school and instead of lugging around two large coiled notebooks, I decided to make two additional inserts for my Jane Davenport traveler's notebook I … Continue reading Making Journal Inserts

I bought two bunches of tulips before Easter and each stage of blossoming was more beautiful than the next. I decided to dry some of the petals in a flower press and store them in a vellum pocket in my journal as a keepsake. The whole process is now up on my YouTube channel —> YouTube.com/GinaMakesIt
It might be rainy and cold outside my window right now, but I’m bringing lots of warm, spring vibes today to the @graphicsfairy YouTube channel with this Spring Nest Tag!
Last weekend I was working in my yard trimming rose vines and magnolia tree branches, when I saw a little bunny family hopping around the hills beneath the evergreen trees behind my house. Those little bunnies stuck with me because later that day I sat down with the idea to make a Bunny in a Basket for my next journal page.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have been mesmerized by the night sky. In between the rogue Astronomy class I took during college one summer and present-day middle adulthood, I’ve never really learned as much as I have wanted to. I’m hoping to change that with some self-paced studies in my new Star Notes journal. Today I’m on the @graphicsfairy YouTube channel and blog talking all about it! 💫
This morning on my YouTube channel, I’m creating these Romantic Layered Journal Covers in a step-by-step tutorial. I also just listed these two journals in my Etsy store! 💕
I just uploaded a new Journal With Me on my YouTube channel—YouTube.com/GinaMakesIt. Recently, I've had the urge to start collaging and I think it sort of reared its head unexpectedly in today's video. It was actually snowing yesterday, so winter has definitely not left for the season, but warmer days are upon us. I can just feel it.
