    I love this concept. I have tons of paper. This would an ideal way to use them up. Activities like this really get my creative juices flowing. I can just play and now feel like I'm wasting material.

    I did A Christmas (Vintage) book and pieces together a Christmas stocking. It's darling and I'd show it to you but don't know how to send it. Lol. Old ladies and technology!

    I thought it was a child saying, "Hi-i-i-i". So precious your cat is talking to the sunlight coming through the door! Cats love to lie in the sun.... maybe that's why she is saying "Hi-i-i-i-" to the sun! So adorable!

    I love how your pages came out. That technique is perfect for days when you just want to doodle around, not ready to start a project. You've convinced me I need to buy an inexpensive sewing machine for paper crafting, I love the look of sewn pages!

  • @marthastrickland7148
    @marthastrickland7148 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    These are awesome! I don’t have a sewing machine, but I think I might have a zigzag (or something similar)border stamp that I could use to fake the stitches. I think the stitching really adds to it. Thanks for sharing this!

    @1888starz 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I love your 'Franken' pages. They're really amazing & look so great! You've given me a great idea if you don't want to sew. Just cut some pages out with zig-zag scissors & go around them with pens to give a 'stitched' look. I have an old sewer that's more trouble to use so I may have to try it out.

    I was looking for ideas to put a decorative collage looking Edge to my journal pages and this gave me a great idea all I need to do is make them smaller and folded and then glue it in place on the edges of the book and I can even make them pockets and Tuck spots.

  • @cindymonahan3741
    @cindymonahan3741 6 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @sharoncarroll8892
    @sharoncarroll8892 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I did that on some manila folders some time ago but no sewing. I need to reduce my scraps again , I tend to keep them for pockets etc. but never thought to use them for journal sheets . I like to use the book method , glue three pages , tear out two maybe I'll go use this idea to cover the book pages . Thanks for shaking a few brain cells into action ! Till next time . Love
