Happy July — Free Vintage Friday

July 2, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

July has always signaled the middle of summer, so when I looked at the calendar yesterday and realized it was July 1, I couldn't believe it. It felt like the summer had just begun. Now is the time we usually grab summer by the horns and and squeeze every moment out of it, from sun … Continue reading Happy July — Free Vintage Friday

Vintage Advertisement — Free Vintage Friday

June 18, 2021June 18, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ 1 Comment

I was perusing a very old magazine a few weeks ago and came across one of the funniest advertisements I've ever seen. I could not stop laughing. Why does Mrs. Brown have such a perfect figure? The age-old question, I suppose. 😆 Not only is the wording of this advertisement so incredibly funny, but there … Continue reading Vintage Advertisement — Free Vintage Friday

Dyeing Paper With Dandelions

May 11, 2021May 17, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ 5 Comments

Commonly regarded as an invasive weed in my part of the world, dandelions push their mighty heads through the grass every year announcing spring's arrival. They are a strong, persistent little weed. Technically speaking, though, dandelions aren't really weeds as they do no ecological damage to the environment. Instead, they are perennial herbs, much like … Continue reading Dyeing Paper With Dandelions

Vintage Envelopes + Free Templates

March 11, 2021May 17, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ 7 Comments

I recently finished reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and I thought it was absolutely amazing. And of course, now I am obsessed with WW2, letter writing, and islands. As an English Literature major, I've always loved letter writing and yearned for a time when letter writing was commonplace. Email, with its … Continue reading Vintage Envelopes + Free Templates

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

A Holiday Journal Lesson Learned

January 8, 2021January 9, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

I didn't want to make a December Daily this year. There, I said it. Without fail, I always look forward to creating a winter break journal documenting the first day of winter break to the very last day. Normally, I also include a few fun holiday-ish days prior to the start of winter break, such … Continue reading A Holiday Journal Lesson Learned

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

September Mood Board

September 1, 2020 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

Much to my chagrin, September has arrived. And wouldn't you know, on today, this first day of September, it was cold, rainy, and depressing. You would think after oh, lets' say a "handful" of Septembers, I'd accept it or move to a warmer climate. 😆 🤷🏼 Good news, though, I updated my Mood Board. In … Continue reading September Mood Board

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
