Freaky fast formula

 I've made a layout today, the first in a week. 


Yesterday I won some charms from Charms creations so use one on here. I put the circle, doiley flower and felt stitched arrow in a cluster. The wood veneer heart I separated and put it near the top of my layout. I used 2 of the 4 papers as my mats and another for the journal block.


I've also done a couple more junk journal pages.


On this one I used a corner pocket and punched flowers.


This one features mini envelopes and an altered tag. It is on the theme of mail.


This one features an opening mini folder ,closed on the first picture and open below showing some tags I added

More junk pages

 








Here are some more of my pages and no particular reason I did them. Most of these seem to feature a vintage theme.

Junk Journal fun.

 


I bought this kit from Artstacks to give it a try. I've long been an admirer of Lisa Oxley.

I recently started a Junk Journal so here are the pages I made with this kit.

Junk journal paper bag conversion.

 I started with a small bag from the donut shop.


Next, I glued muslin on the top of it.


Then I edged it with antique lace making a frame. I added paper across the frame and added smaller tags


I glued it to the left-hand side of the page.


In the top pocket (bag) I put a matching tag.

The tag top peeks out of the pocket

Tic tac toe (again)

 

After making the last card, I realized I missed the cut off point for that challenge. This is the current one.

I chose to go across the middle row. I used gold cardstock then added a yellow spotted paper. I made another embossed piece of card and added fine pearls. My sentiment says it's the little things that count.



tic tac toe

 


My 85-year-old neighbour (a widow) met a man last year and has now announced her engagement.

I felt I needed to give them a card.


Using my cuttlebug, I put some card through to make a script embossing. I inked it with opera pink Versa Colour. I added a strip of that on my pink background. Next, I added a flower strip and my sentiment. All this is on gold card, so it looks extra special for the occasion.

Sketches in Thyme #710

 


This layout is for sketches in Thyme.

My daughter wanted to find her school reports. I searched the house but couldn't see them.

She looked in the garage and threw out quite a lot while searching (hooray). They were found eventually in a box. I used black as my background with ferns instead of flowers. I added bling to my title to add a bit more colour.


************************

I used a scrap of leftover paper to make this card for Make my Monday.

They want flowers.
