He will be my squishy.....

Have you seen finding Nemo?? This beautiful paper by 49 and market reminds me of the jelly fish from this film. they looks such beautiful creatures. 

To make this journal i simply covered an A5 book. Its quite a thick book so takes more than one sheet of a4 paper to cover of most of a 12x12 sheet. I always start with a plain piece to cover the base. I prefer bazzill mono card it has a coloured core and is textured on one side. 

After i have cover the book, I bought the edges up. I do this with some scissors by scrapping them down one edge. There are tools out there for doing this but i find the scissors work just fine.

i cover the book with the 49 and market sand ands collection papers. tearing and making tags with some left over string as a cord for the tags. all added a doily and some tulle to the ripped edged.

Lastly i added the paper flowers and some jewels - the message at the top reads nothing but blue skies.

Journals are fabulous things, you can write to someone special, you can write to yourself. or you can keep a diary. They can capture your thoughts and save them another time, for you to read back and remember not only images but thoughts and feelings that happen at any given time. I have kept journals for most of my life. Its a great mental help. And reminds you of what not to do sometimes! 

same technic used here but with some added cranked seam binding.

Mini Keepsake Album. With under July Pickle Pack.

I was asked by a lovely friend to make a Keepsake album, not so much for lots of photos but with lots of pockets for things to me kept inside.

I hadn't made anything like this before and i was honoured to be asked to make something so special.

The Sea and Sand collection by 49 and market were i perfect paper for making such an album. they are a very heavy weight cardstock, therefore great for making pockets and staying secure once folded and scored.

I decorated the front with mulberry paper flowers and sea glass. The closure was held to gather with a magnet. I just love the jelly fish on these papers. Kinda reminds me of finding nemo! 

I left the inside fairly plain with room for keepsakes some photos and plenty of room for journalling. i used some bo bunny 'down by the sea' and some bazzill texture card for the inside. I used a martha stewart edge punch to create the edging patterns. I then used the We r Memory keepers envelop punch board to make a few envelopes on the back pages.

Usually i would embellish a lot more on the inside but this was asked to stay a plainer contents. I think overall this was a great idea because the papers are really beautiful and it allows them to be shown off to their potential. 

Thanks for reading and happy crafting pickles!!

Flip Book Video Part Two

Hi everyone.... its very wet here in North Wales today, so i thought i would share with you another youtube video tutorial. Its part two of the flip book tutorial i started a while back! you will notice i have a new camera! Yay! which has made the video a lot easier to see and understand, so at some point i will be re making the first part.

I have used the papers from Pickle Paper Patch's Arpil Pickle Pack. Which contained the Prima Rose Quartz range combined with some Kaisercraft Gather range. You can easily use other papers and embellishments to make the same thing though its a very universal project.

I filled the flip book with lots of goodies as it is for a swap with another crafty friend! and made a kraft card envelope to add a little letter int he back. 

As well as using the Prime papers i also used there Journalling cards and cut out some of the piece on the journalling sheet, i didn't use the foil accented sheets for this project. However i will be using them for another tutorial soon so keep your eyes peeled! 

You can find all the supplies used here at http://picklepaperpatch.com

Mini Album Flip Through

I've been developing the way i make albums over the last 12 months, using various techniques. From paper bags to envelopes, cardboard and acrylic! By far this style is my favourite to make, the basis is simple to make and can be altered to fit with any size. I made this one quite thin as my friend wanted it to only have a few special pictures in side with room for journalling the pictures where also going to be 6x4 format so it still needed to be quiet big so that they would fit either way? 

I do like my albums to have a few quirks, little hidden tags and folding out sections. Its harder than you think to make a smaller album! Enjoy watching and hope it inspires you !
