Hello friends, it's Friday and that means I am sharing here on my blog a few of the things I have been doing lately.
First up, my usual weekly calendar/to do journal:
This time instead of covering the right hand page with gesso, I added some paper from the Stamperia Blue star collection and then used that as the background for some further playing around with Distress Crayons, paper serviettes, some stencils and some elements from another Stamperia collection, Voyages Fantastique. Below a few close ups:
I have also been busy creating some things for some snail mail swaps with various people.
This is an altered index card and envelope to send it in.
Finally, - as most of you know, I love journaling and recently got involved with a swap with another journaller on Instagram. So I decided to create some journalling cards and other little embellishments she can use in her own journals if she likes, and thought I could share them with you all here as downloadable freebies.
Most of the imagery in these sheets came from
the Graphics Fairy, so thank you Karen for the amazing things you offer on your site!!!
Well, that's it for this Friday, but exceptionally I will have another post going live on Sunday as I was invited by the lovely and talented Mandy to be host for the
Sunday Post Card Challenge,
so if you want to see the postcard I created and the theme I chose, please do come back then.
Meanwhile thank you like always for your visit today
