The Best Things | Graphic 45

Hello all!

I am thrilled to share my first project as a Graphic 45 Brand Ambassador 2024-2025.

I love to create journals and sketchbooks. Although these projects tend to be “clean”, I love adding many layers to the cover.

I get to use lots of pretty papers, die-cuts and chipboard to decorate the cover and keep the pages clean adn fresh for all that journaling adn or sketching.

The Sunshine on My Mind collection is beautiful and brings all the summery feel to any project.

Happy Crafting

Dream junk journal

Hi everyone!

I have another "clean" junk journal to share today and this one was made using some of my older, and still fave, Ladies and Gents collection from Webster's Pages.

The covers are made from heavy weight chipboard, covered with patterned papers and inked with Walnut Stain Distress Inks.

I used a selection of Prima flowers to decorate the cover, wood veneers & a gold doily from Studio Calico, embossing powder and liquid pearls.

I created some pockets, waterfall and inserts here and there so there should be plenty of space to add some journaling and/or photos.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your day is a good one!

Solar Eclipse Friday!

Today was amazing and it was a blast witnessing the Solar Eclipse with all my students - and maaaan were we rocking those shades!

So why not document this day in a small junk journal.

I made this small journal using a110 Neenah Kraft cardstock, enveloped, copy paper and Carta Bella papers.

I tried tea-staining some papers fro the first time and that was not my best work ever. Fun but I guess I need to work on that technique.

I also misted several of the papers for a vintage and sparkly look and my fave part was to stamp all over the pages.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great Friday!

Junk journal - Marion Smith style

I recently finished my third junk journal and I decide to use one of my fave Marion Smith collection to create this journal.

I just love these papers and the gold doily was just the perfect touch for the cover.

I wanted this one to me colorful and very vintage kinda looking.

I just love using my stamps and inks to make these journal look a bit used and I am finally putting my Bind-it-All to good use.

Thanks for stopping by!

Life's Stuff journal

I am back again with another journal - yeah I know it's officially an addiction! :D

I created this using the same basic method as the one before (chipboard, papers, pockets and Bind-it-all) and this time I used papers and embellishments that I got in the December kit from Prima Marketing.

I really like how soft and serene this journal looks and I really loved working with the kit.

I included some misting in this one and I think I like how that looks within the clean-ness of it all.

Thanks for stopping by!

Just another Monday!

Monday is here and even if this is not the best of all Mondays I am know this journal will add a positive touch to the day! :)

I made my first ever junk journal (or just a journal) last November Adonis had a fab time creating that journal.

So I have been on a kind of journal-making-marathon for the last week or so and I don't see this marathon ending anytime soon.

I used some of my all time fave My Minds Eye papers (yes I have lots of these MME goodies) along with some Prima pretties and other things that I thought would work for this journal.

The book was bound with my Bind-it-All and I inked all of the edges with Distress ink.

Well enough babbling I am off to make another one! :D

Laters!
