I’ve been working on a series of craft projects since the first of the year. Fabric covered journals with matching pens are among them. Here’s a pic of the one I finished today.

Just watched Kristin Tweedale’s presentation on creating a little book of your thoughts and feelings throughout the year. I worked on the title page and the Currently page. I think I’d like to do “More & Less” next! If you also created a little book, I’d love to see it! It’s such a cute idea! Side note: I recently finished coloring a diy puzzle where each piece was colored randomly. I loved it because it was the kind of art that only took a couple of minutes for each piece and I could take it outside to watch my kids play. This little book fulfills that same need. It’s big enough to get joy out of it, but small enough to not feel too overwhelming.

So last night I played around with mini envelopes to create a simple journal. It’s not complete but I hope to finish it this weekend I’m not totally into Valentine’s Day yet so I’ve been testing things out to see if I fall in love with any of these different projects and then create one with a Valentine theme Still on the hunt for inspiration

This is today’s project , client wants over the top flowers, never tried this but here it is , fabric cover with patch work, silk flowers, gems , and two signatures . Both signatures are floating and can be added to. The lace closure is elastic and very soft so it doesn’t pull on the flowers

During the conference there were some really awesome great ideas. Love how some of these turned out and wanted to share with y’all💖 The lighthouse is going to have a lighthouse on it!
