✨ My First Try at Junk Journaling! ✨

For this week’s live, I decided to step outside my comfort zone and try junk journaling for the very first time!

My goal was to focus less on perfection and more on the process, feeling and creative freedom, while giving it a more modern twist than the vintage style I’ve seen in many junk journal projects.

And I have to say—I really enjoyed it! 💕 I loved layering, experimenting and simply letting the project evolve as I created.

Want to see how it all came together? Check out my blog, where I share more about what junk journaling is, my thoughts as a beginner, and the video of me creating this project from scratch.

Have you seen the junk journaling trend and wondered, what the heck is junk journaling? I’ve been wondering the same thing!

So, I did a little research, gathered some supplies, and decided that for tonight’s live, we’re going to experiment with this creative form of memory keeping together.

I’m definitely exploring and learning as I go, so come join me! And if you’ve tried junk journaling before, I’d love for you to share your thoughts, tips, and ideas in the comments.

📺 Join me tonight at 7:30 PM MST and let’s see what we can create!

👟 Shoe Box Swap Fun! 💕

Yesterday I got to spend the day crafting with friends at a shoe box swap! Each of us designed a card and brought everything needed to make it, then we took turns creating each other’s projects.

I love swaps like this because they’re such a fun way to learn new techniques, try products I may not have, and come home with lots of new samples and inspiration. ✂️🎨

But the best part? Spending time with friends doing something we all love. 🥰 There’s just something special about gathering around a table, creating, visiting, laughing, and inspiring each other.

Have you ever participated in a shoe box swap? Would you love to try one?

One Sketch + One Color Challenge = So Many Possibilities! 🎨

I was working on designing a swap last night and decided to use the sketch as my inspiration, along with Colour INKspiration for my color palette.

Of course, one idea quickly turned into three different designs! 😁 I played around with the layout, changed up the focal points, and even got to try out a few new products coming in October.

For my actual swap, I decided to simplify the design a bit, but it was definitely inspired by those first cards. I love seeing how one sketch can take you in so many different directions!

Which version is your favorite—the balloons, the merry trees, fesrive trees or the simpler tree design?

The moment I saw the Silly Old Bear Suite, I knew I needed it to create something special for my granddaughter. 🩷 Her room is decorated in this sweet theme, and both of her parents love Pooh Bear and Eeyore, so it couldn’t have been more perfect.

This weekend was a special one for their little family, and I wanted to surprise them with something they could hopefully treasure for years to come.

The layout was inspired by a card I made a while back, but as I started designing it, I really wanted the characters to be bigger and become part of the artwork. So, I used the stamped images as inspiration, hand-drew the larger characters, and colored them with Stampin’ Blends. I even chose to handwrite Ruby Lynn’s name instead of stamping it to give the piece one more personal touch.

I absolutely LOVE how it turned out! 💕 It was definitely a labor of love, and I hope they will cherish it as much as I loved creating it for them.

There’s just something extra special about using our crafting supplies to create a gift that is completely one-of-a-kind. 🥰
