Happy July — Free Vintage Friday

July 2, 2021March 6, 2023 ~ 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, 2021March 6, 2023 ~ 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

Junk Journal With Me: Episode 1

June 10, 2020May 17, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

Hi friends! Today I am sharing a sneak peek into my latest junk journaling session, Down on the Farm! I decided to document my current veggie crop so I used a lot of vintage farm goodies I had in my stash and in my Etsy shop! I started  by layering a right-hand page with some … Continue reading Junk Journal With Me: Episode 1

I’ve been helping my mom through some tough times these past few weeks, so I haven’t had much energy to work in my journal, but I know it’s waiting for me when I’m ready. 💕
In today’s YouTube video, I am making Collage Masterboard Pen Pal Happy Mail. It’s a lot easier to make than say! Link in profile or my stories!
I love you today as I have from the start. And I’ll love you forever with all of my heart.
I am retiring a bunch of listings in my Etsy store to make room for new listings. The listings impacted are currently on sale through March 20 and will be removed shortly thereafter. In the interim, I am having so much fun working on the new listings. I actually use them in projects, so if something isn’t working for me, then I know it’s definitely not user-friendly and I go back and tweak it. It’s like a form of creative engineering. Link in profile to Etsy store, if interested in the sale!
Monday rolled around fast and furious, but I was able to squeeze in another 5-minute journaling session today using some old die cut experiments and embroidered scraps.
I often find myself with days that only offer 5 or 10 minutes of creativity. It’s just the way life is in this modern world. They’re not my favorite days, but they definitely do happen. In the past, when I only had a few chunks of time in my craft room, I used to feel so pressured under the time crunch that I would just sit trying to decide what to do until I literally ran out of time. Recently, I began using these small time intervals to experiment with dies or stencils or a new technique I saw online. Ironically, I was left with a pile of experimental “stuff” that could easily be incorporated into a super short journaling session on days when I’m pressed for time. Today was one of those days and I bring you along in a 5-Minute Journaling session in my latest YouTube video—> YouTube.com/GinaMakesit
