I don't know anyone who plays Bridge. It seems to be a lost game, hidden beneath piles of old photos and dusty books.

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

However, my new Frankenstein journal sure is coming together, so I guess I have … Continue reading The First Page in My Autumn Junk Journal Mini-Book
For some reason, I don't think that's correct English. I didn't marry a junk journal and a mini-book; I made a junk journal mini-book! I am forever sitting on the other side of the green grass, mesmerized by everyone's papercrafting creations. When I make a junk journal, I see someone's super cute, super modern mini-book … Continue reading I Married a Junk Journal and Mini-Book
Hey out there is scrappy land! It's cold here in Midwest USA. I keep wondering when it will finally warm up: I mean it's only been like 5 months of chilled air...ugh! Waiting for spring is torture every single year. To pass the time, I recently decided to reorganize my craft room. After a visit … Continue reading Using Your Stash to Make Embellishments
