The Crafty Crowe

The Crafty Crowe Hey! Im Amanda Crowe and I love crafting/creating.

Like all crows, I’m distracted by shiny things so I try allll the things but I often use polymer clay and do lots of junk journaling/art journaling and crochet.

TUTORIAL: this is a quick version of how I make the folders for my journals. This one is for a Little Golden Book journal, but the same procedures can be used on any size.

Supplies:
-Double sided cardstock cut to journal size.
-3 mm lamination pouch (I used legal size for these)
-Singer Quick Stitch Plus (or any sewing machine)

My very first Little Golden Book Journal. I added some fun stuff to the insides as well. I started with the Gilmore Girls because it’s easy to get again if I messed it up. 😂. I have found some other vintage ones at estate sales and thrift stores recently so more to come! Any features you’ve never seen in one of these, but wish someone would add?

Admittedly, not much of my time was spent in Bikini Bottom, but when I saw this cereal box I knew I had to make this. The original back-of-the-box back cover was lost to an unfortunate iron/heat press accident, but I like the pineapples anyway!

PRO-TIP: Always visit your favorite aisle TWICE in the thrift store! People put stuff back (what happened today) or the staff puts new stuff out!
