I have done something I've never done before...winged it making a video tutorial!
https://youtu.be/7a32lk82HDw
I needed a new art journal and this idea blossomed after I saw Johanna Clough's journal video and Club Scrap's Card Keeper tutorial. My handmade journal is a combination of both bookbinding methods and I LOVE how it turned out!
I used card stock and embellishments from the new January 2019 Mumbai collection from Club Scrap and decorated the cover with JFF Rubber Stamps Stamptangle Tree image and Faded Art word art for a beautiful pairing! (I'll include links to all available products in the supplies list at the end of this post.)
Those resin jewels really made the tree come alive!
I am so pleased with how the elastic binding turned out. The signatures slipped in and out of them so easily AND they're pretty too.
Ten signatures with three sheets each gives me TONS of real estate for future art journaling techniques!
Be sure to check out my video if you want to whip one up for yourself. I finished this project in about an hour. If I can do it, so can you (especially since you've got the instructions and the supplies list)!
In theory, it sounds great. A new year, a new beginning. We resolve to do things better, differently, faster, or whatever. It lasts for…well…a week or three. And then it’s back to business as usual. Some habits are harder to change, and that’s why developing a good habit is really worth the struggle; once you’re used to making your bed each morning, or going for an evening walk, or flossing, you don’t have to exert much self-control to keep it up.
My resolution is to anticipate instead of procrastinate. It's not easy, but I'm sticking to it. I'm tired of drifting and ready for something new!
This theme challenge is the perfect way to start off 2019!
I used the Sparkle and Sprinkle Light Up My Life digital stamp set to create my card. I printed on white card stock, traced with a Perfect Pearls pen and heat embossed with copper foil embossing powder. Then, I colored the images with Mustard Seed Distress Ink and a finger dauber. I edged the card stock with the pen and embossing powder as well for a finished look. I liked the look of the curly q filaments around the digital image, so I recreated them with copper colored Fun Wire. I added some foam tape to the back of the elements for dimension. (Supplies used will be listed at the end of this post.)

Today is the first digital kit release for the new Taylormadecards4u Design Team! Monica Taylor is the owner of Taylormadecards4u and she has put together a bouquet of wine themed elements for the Wine Passport kit!
I've created a Fly Out Mini Album with instructions from Club Scrap to showcase these fun bits of vintage ephemera. I'm all about easy projects and this one is so simple!
All you'll need to create this mini album is two sheets of coordinating card stock, the printed elements from the kit and supplies I'm sure you already have in your stash. I printed the digital elements on white card stock and trimmed with a paper trimmer. (Supplies used will be listed at the end of this post)
Taylormadecards4u digital elements and Club Scrap ribbon and card stock from the Succulents page kit.
There is so much room to decorate in this little album! This could be a junk journal, mini scrapbook album or a wine journal...the possibilities are endless.
