Journaling 2014

My days of bits of pleasure and some rubber stamping art to decorate them.

And a little Washi Tape too.

 

 

Yep, I'm lovin' this journal.  I like the idea of keeping it all compact and tidy.  It's such a cool book design that is so easy and delightful to work in.

 

Have a happy day!

More Post-It Pads

I can't seem to get enough of making these little gems yet, so I see no reason to stop. 

 

 

 

 

 It's incredibly disappointing to have Gesso as my new friend.  I invested so much previous time avoiding it.  LOL  Now I can't seem to stop using it!  It's awesome to use some of these papers that have sat around here for so long and weren't likely to ever be used.

 

The backsides.

 

They're still calling to me.  I must make more.

Pretty Post-Its Pads

About three posts earlier, I said I thought I wanted to make some fun Post-It note pad jackets...and lookie here.  I've actually made a few.  These are the fronts.

 

 

And these are the backs.

 

 

 

 I have also become the newest member of the Gesso Club.  I didn't want to join, but I saw no alternative.  I have lots of paper that is dark and not very usable for me.  The magic of Gesso lightens the paper design considerably to accommodate my love of stamping.

 

What I don't like about water based paints is the dry dusty feel of it.  I did sand lightly to make sure I had a smooth surface.  I thought it might also take away some of the "dry feel".  Nope.  So, when I was done, I sprayed the jacket with a matte sealer.  It turned out smooth and most importantly, flexible.  Happy camper here!

 

I know a few people who are going to love these as hostess thank you gifts!

Quaint Tag

This time the tag recipe at Dragons Dream Tag It On is a word for the letter Q and the color gold.

 

Quaint

 

 

I had the best time making this tag and having it surprise me at every step. 

 

The gold, of course, is not very visible here.  The butterfly wings have been highlighted with a gold metallic pen.

 

Thanks for the inspiration at TIO!

Journaling 2014

So here is the rest of April and the beginning of May.  Time is just flying by!

 

 

I like to think that man might be my long lost rich uncle who thinks of me as his favorite niece.  Imagination is a wonderful thing.

 

This is my Journal closed.  I love the neat and tidy look of it and I didn't even have to gussy it up as it comes this way.  I found this style at Barnes and Noble.  It says StudioOh! on the back.

 

 

Wishing all a happy day!
