Journal Charms

Video: New DigiKit Reveal & Journal Play

April 26, 2023      4 Comments

I have some really exciting news today. I have finally launched my first digital art journaling kit! I am so excited to share this kit with you in today’s video along with an entire process video to give you some ideas on how to use this kit.

If you aren’t familiar, digital kits are kits you purchase once and can then print out as many times as you would like to use in your projects. The kit I am sharing today is perfect for spring with butterflies, birds and lots of flowers. You receive 10 pages along with 3 pages of tags. I had so much fun creating this kit and I have 2 more that are almost ready to share-hopefully within in the next week. If you are interested you can watch the video to see all the kit has and visit my shop here to purchase.

I started out by making the tag. I printed the kit on regular weight copy paper and then backed the tags onto some chip board I had. Then I took different elements from the kit to collage on the tag finishing off with a ribbon and a handmade journal charm.

Starting in my journal I added some soft pink and blue gray acryllic paint and then tore up some more pages and glued them down. I added lace and a few more charms along with a pocket to hold my very thick journaling tag.

I am so happy with how the page turned out! If you have any questions about the kit please do comment below and if you happen to make a purchase let me know how you end up using the kit.

Until next time…

Video: Making Journal Jewelry

April 17, 2023      Leave a Comment

Happy Monday! I hope you had a nice weekend.

We spent time with family on Saturday celebrating a belated Easter. The kids hunted eggs and ate way too much chocolate and the adults sat outside and chatted. It was a relaxing way to spend the day.

I did manage to get to the studio over the weekend and had a play with making some journal jewelry. I just recently heard the term although I have added embellishments and dangles my journals for years. I wanted to find a way to use some of the charms we made together as well as my stash of ribbons. If you would like to add some embellishments to your journals but don’t have a lot of found items to add then you might like to give this a try.

I started by picking out some ribbons I like and tying them together. Then I added a bulb safety pin (Amazon Affiliate Link) so that I could clip it through the top of the spine of my journal. I then added some of our handmade charms by tying them on to the individual ribbons. You could really go crazy and add so many things! You could add old charms from necklaces that are broken, beads, bells-you name it! I liked the idea of using elements I could make but I am definitely going to be making a lot more of these.

I hope you enjoy the video and try making these charms for yourself. If you do please let me know how you make out!

Until next time…
