Hello friends and welcome! I hope the month of June is going well for you so far.
Today I want to share some pages from my everyday journal with you. It has not actually been neglected, like the title may suggest, I have just neglected to post about it, so today I thought I would share some pictures from it with you.
It's a Midori sizes journal and the pages are created with the help of washi tapes, home made tickets, some stamping, inking, a bit of stenciling here and there and that's pretty much it. I find this style of creating spreads fun and relaxing and have even started to do my bullet journal more in this style too, but that will be for another post.
Below some more pages, all done in a similar way, some I like better than others, but that's usually the way right?
This is a close up of part of the page above. I recently received an order from
London Gifties. The owner wraps her goodies in the most wonderful way, so I thought I would include some of the packaging in this page.
On this photo you can see some of my home made embellishments created with some of Tim Holtz's dies, stamps and washi tape , as well as some botanical images that I printed on tissue paper.
Oh and I do really write on these pages, and just to prove it I'll be brave and share another couple of pages with you :o)
Well, that's it for today. Thank you for taking the time to visit, and until next time....

ReplyDeleteI bet you really look forward to journaling with these beautiful pages to look at! I love the bits of washi around the pages--serves a great purpose of keeping the edges from tearing and looks lovely, too. I must remember that! I so need to keep a journal, and you have inspired me much more than you'll ever know. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWow, your journal is amazing! All the pages look stunning and I love the thistle page with the beautiful washi tape and images - perfect 😁. Those homemade embellishments are outstanding, I enjoyed reading about how you made them and would like to have a go myself, no I'm wondering if you have a more detailed tutorial on your blog for these? Sounds like you are having fun using them to capture your daily thoughts too. Wishing you a happy and creative week! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteI think your journal is beautiful the first pages you photographed are my favourite with that beautiful teasel plant stamped image. I am always impressed by anyone with the discipline to journal regularly. Lovely work thanks for sharing it and it is brave to show it in use, how nice that you have gathered a following that makes your blog a safe place. x Amanda

Gorgeous pages with so much to see, love them. Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteOh my! What gorgeous pages - it must make you feel very relaxed when you use them - they seem to me to be very gentle pages! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely, lovely. So glad I found a bit of time for some catching up - these pages have made me so happy, as it's clear they do for you too, as you are making them. All the little handmade embellishments are wonderful, and I love the little touches of texture, especially those splashes of gilding. Good to see the journal in action too... that's the part I generally don't get around to. But there are plans for changes in the offing...
