Spooky Junk Journal

 

I made a junk journal type book for a friend out of recycled used envelopes.

These are the first couple of pages.

I tried to keep it fairly light hearted and not as gruesome as it could have been. 

Some of the pages are really plain, but room has been left for journaling.

I incorporates some die cuts and some resin mould pieces.

I didn't want to make it too bulky as I didn't put a closure on it.

These two pages house some tags.

And this is the right page with the tags removed.

These are the middle pages.

The envelope pocket flips out on the right page.

And there are 3 tags / journaling cards in the pocket.

These are my favourite two pages.

This is a double spread page with a piece of white netting between the pages.

The netting is covering the left page in this photo, it's very subtle, but a nice effect.

Again very plain pages, but writing space if needed.

Nearly there.

The back inside cover has a pouch with a tag in it.

There is another pouch on the back of the above tag which houses a journaling card.

And finally, this is the back cover.

This is the removable tassel that is attached to the spine with a safety pin.

I hope she likes it as this was part of a 9 day course I am enrolled on with Anna aka Finnabair.

Gifts for Friends

Today I am at a workshop with my arty friends Chris and Lin. So I made them each one of T!m's tiny houses.

And here are the other sides.

Cotton spools with a bead and fibres.

This set is for Lin.

And these ones are for Chris.

Country View Crafts have a theme of things with wings this month, so I am entering my tiny houses.

Summer of Colour - Week 6

Week 6 of Summer of colour and the colour scheme is raspberry, tangerine and splash of lemon.

I decided on a box and alcohol inks.

The lemon is fresco paint in the colour haystack which was painted onto the background to create the border.

Raspberry and sunset orange alcohol inks on glossy card using TH distress marker spritzer tool for the panels.

LP images stamped in black stazon.

The top image is a PA wooden stamp.

I used 4 wooden beads for the feet which I painted black.

Simon Says Monday's challenge this week is about a face.
