Stay Cozy, Meg!

    Happy delayed happy mail ❤ the Christmas card I made with mod podge on both sides. Then I used white stamp pad on one side and wiped lightly, vintage photo or espresso ink pad on the other side. Tried to create the tea stain on a shiney surface. Because the experiment of actual tea bag /water soaking the playing card was not working. Curved cards resulted. Anyhoo. Enjoy your goodies. Next year! 😊

    Sweet happy mail! I like the strips you made. I just made 10 journals to help use up my stash. I was able to use lots of material and doilies on the covers. I had a lot of fun making them. Some of them are not embellished except for some of the pages are decorative. I hope you have a cozy weekend of crafting. I thing the question of weather a LGB or other....it really depends on the "feel" of the journal.

      @@pushingupdaisiesantiques I only decorate pages that need things sewn onto then before I sew in the signatures. I decorate the rest after. I am a bit clumsy and tend to drop pages, get them out of order, or put them back in upside down (ha ha!) so I try to do most of the decorating after it's all secured. Although it is much easier to work with journals with lots of pages if they lay flatter, which they do before sewing them in! :)
