Hello creative friends. I decided to decorate some rolodex cards. I have a rolodex I got from my husband so that I can decorate the cards. Here is the video showing how I decorated some of the cards.
I had fun decorating these cards and look forward to decorating more. I've seen other peoples rolodex cards that they decorated and so I wanted to do some myself. Have you decorated rolodex cards before? I would love to see them. Thank you for stopping by and watching my video. Happy creating.
Hello creative friends. I made a journal out of an Alice in Wonderland little golden book. I used the front and back cover from the book and then added a 2 1/2" spine. I sewed in various papers from my stash and the pages from the book. I then added pockets, tags, and a spine dangle to finish it off. Here are a couple of videos showing how I created this journal.
I really love how this journal turned out. Have you made a journal out of a little gold book before? I would love to know. I hope you have a great day and happy creating.

Hello creative friends. I hope everyone is doing well. I've been doing my best with everything that has been going on. Without going into too much, I was laid off from my job last March and a year and a half later still unable to find another job, so just trying to figure it all out. Anyway, I've decided that I need to focus more on my art and just let the chips fall where they may. One of the things I feel I needed to do is refill my stash of ephemera for using in journals, art journal pages and mixed media art. So I will be working on several things to do just that. So to start with I wanted to make some clusters that could be used in journals and other artwork, but I also wanted to create the focal images and other pieces to making the clusters with. So I used watercolors to paint different shapes and cut them out. Then I dug into my scraps for additional papers to use in making the clusters. Here is a picture of the clusters I made:
You can check out the video on my YouTube Channel to see how I made these here:
I really am happy with this little stash of clusters and can't wait to use them. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you make something creative today that makes you happy as well. Happy Creating. Take care.
