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

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

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

Two New Journals

May 29, 2020August 14, 2020 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

I also have to feed both my vintage and modern papercraft needs, so I recently made two (really, three) types of journals. I created a vintage journal with a curved spine (using a paper towel roll of all things!). The inserts incorporate old atlases, worn book pages, and some vintage linen printables (currently in my … Continue reading Two New Journals

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

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.
