I love creating ’fussy cutting’ and creating ephemera folders for junk journalling, etc. In fact I’ve said it before, but I think my real hobby is getting organised for my hobbies!

Below is my latest creation made from a small photograph album. I cut velum strips and glued them on with double-sided cellotape.

A strip of washi tape down the side helped create the inspiration for each page colour.

This is a take on free motion sewing but using embroidery stitching and beautiful lace and embroidered doilies bought at second hand shops.

One off unique design.
Ready for framing or make it to something of your choice like a cushion or journal cover.

I loved this card {CraftersChoice ~ White Meadow} and thought I needed to make something out of it. So I landed on a simple folder.

I sewed the pockets in (yes card)

I wasn’t sure what to put in the folder, but I wanted something that complimented it. Then I came across my lace paper cut outs. Perfect.

Have a nice day!

Recently I created my first pretty printables for journalling and card making. So I thought I would try one and see what I was inspired to make…

This picture “Act 1. The Introduction” I cut out of a magazine a long time ago … just the perfect setting to use it!

I’ve been doing a bit of junk journalling, and using paper and collage. So yesterday, when my husband bought me some low carb Gin and Tonic and the box was so pretty I decided to collage it up…

So, take one gin and tonic carry box…

Now I just have to think about what I can put in it. I might modpodge the outside to strengthen it first though.

Hope this inspires you! ~ Jo x

I’m getting quite addicted to making these collaged window envelopes and little folders with secret pockets and places to write or tuck memories, poems, or special thoughts.

Send to someone in the post to make someone happy!

Or give as a special gift ~ tuck some money or a gift voucher into the pockets along with a special meaningful note. It’s more than just a card!

Or give to a friend to tuck into their Junk Journal.

I haven’t posted for a while. I have been making things but also been so busy. However, lately I’ve been starting on a new hobby… making journal cards, or happy mail.

I haven’t got to the stage of making a journal, and don’t know if I will, but I love watching Roxy Creations making these things to put into junk journals, or to send as “Happy Mail” and so I’ve just started making my own now, and here is my second one…
