Something Crafty

I was cleaning the craft room and sorting through my scrap paper and found so much paper that I have had for a long time, some of it was bits and pieces of leftover paper from various projects.  I really didn't know what to do with so much paper, and its so pretty that I hate to get rid of it.  So what did I do?  Well I decided to make a scrappy journal with all that paper.  I used my binding needle, binding thread, scissors, and my sewing machine, since I didn't have any binding tape I simply used my daughters duct tape.  I had so much fun with this little project, needless to say I didn't really get any cleaning done but I did put that scrap paper to good use!!!  

I hope everyone has a wonderful evening, thank you for stopping by, 

Friday

Just a few more finished pages from the journal I made inspired by Kelly Kilmer online class, the class was wonderful, this is the first time I used collage instead of paint in a journal and it is so easy and lots of fun.

Finally here

So glad to finally receive the Smash books, they are really cool, I know I will have lots of fun with them, I have kept two for me and the others are for the girls, they have already started filling them.  Such fun!!!  Once I finish the collage journal I will start playing in them : )  The week is flying by so fast, can't believe next week is Thanksgiving, looking forward to getting together with the family,  I have so much to be thankful for this year.  Can't wait till next week, the girls will be off for the entire week from school, we plan on doing lots of baking and getting things ready for next thursday.  Well I'm off to have my morning brew now, hope everyone has a great day.

Been very busy

I have not posted anything in a while, been very busy with Sophia, but I have managed to squeeze in some journaling here and there.  Any spare time that I have I try to work in the art journals, yes I have more then one started right now.  I have slowing been bringing my art supplies and journals downstairs, I have ended up working on the kitchen table now, I do have all that space upstairs in the "gameroom" but it seems I have a better chance of working on my art stuff downstairs.  My journal is my escape, if I am stressed or upset it makes me calm and relaxes me, I just love to feel creative, and these journals is where I "dump" it all.
