Hello all, thanks for stoping in. I have created a new Christmas journal and listed in my Etsy shop here

                                          "Wonder" Cover

Created from a. 5" X 7.5" 1888 Christmas storybook called "The Birds' Christmas Carol" by Kate Douglas Wiggin. The cover is embellished with a...

                          

                                               Trinket Cluster

which is attached to a tea dyed name tag with a tea dyed, scrunched, vintage seam binding ribbon which then ties onto the sturdy O-wire binding

                                       Original Title Page

               

                                              Divider 1

Name /Date page:

Each divider is created from premium double-sided papers, which are embellished with pockets, and a combination of paper lace, brads, tags, tokens, paper clips, metal, and velvet page tab turners. Each divider is also a full page pocket with top opening - lots of room for storing those secret or special items that you don't want showing or that will not fit on the pages.

New StoryBook Journal "Noel"

Wow, a year has passed since I last posted a journal for you to see and me to sell. The scrapbook industry has almost turned back to the last century as far as availability of papers, and other supplies go. Most of the big paper companies have folded; thank goodness Authentique is still surviving as is Simple Stories; and the supplies! Thank gosh for Tim Holtz too! Back in 1999 or so 12' X12" scrapbook papers became popular and many wonderful paper companies like Daisy D's (remember them?) came into the market making scrapbooking so much fun; and the cool supplies and gadgets, omgosh! Even the vintage readers and ephemera are hard to find now and cost so much. It's hard seeing the companies that were so great with talent close. Well, I guess the doom and gloom can be put aside. I am a crafter and since scrapbooking has been a part of my life for the last 15 years, and I have many, many papers and book covers to work with (drawer fulls actually, LOL) I will continue to create new albums and journals. On with the post...

I have 3 new journals to post, two have been listed in my Etsy shop already. I will start with Christmas since my last posting was Christmas in fact, the same reader "I Know A Secret" different colors and papers, of course. I have this new Christmas Journal listed in my Etsy shop here
