Junk Journal Shabby Chic

Hello everyone,

today I would like to show you my very first Junk Journal.
It was made for a challenge for a facebook group that I am part of - Exprima-te very scrap.

The challenge was to use some supplies sent by the person launching the challenging and also scraps from our own stash. I used old cards, pieces of fabric, stickers, ephemera, magazine cut-outs, old envelopes, beads and charms, and so on.

I tried to make it as varied and complex as possible. It can be used as a journal to write impressions, quotes, thoughts etc, it can also be used as a photo album or even agenda, why not?

I made all types of pockets in which I put inserts and tags decorated with lace or patterned paper.
So, I collected all necessary supplies and started working. It took me about 2 weeks to finish it and this is the result, hope you'll enjoy it!

Huggies and stay safe until next time!

Window Pop Up Card - Rapunzel

Hello hello,
I want to share with you a very cute card I made after watching a really nice tutorial made by Jennifer McGuire .
I have had a set of stamps with fairy tale characters for some time, but have not found the mojo to make something with them. 
So, after watching the tutorial it just sparkled ...
So I started doing the card base and the pop-up element, of course I had to re-do it :)))
But then all came flowing.
So this is it!
Hope you'll enjoy it!
Until next time, huggies all and stay safe.

Fancy Flap Fold Card - Hedgehogs

Hello everyone,
to day I want to share with a you a very cute card I made for a challenge on a Facebook group - Exprima-te Very Scrap
The challenge was to make a Fancy Fold Card using circular cutting dies.
At first I thought it is going to be so hard, but after starting I realized that if you pay attention to dimensions, everything becomes pretty easy and fun to experiment.
So, I searched through my stash and found some pretty fall patterned paper so I decided to use it. Then I found some hedgehogs I have colored some time ago and it all came together.
The tutorial after I worked is here

So this is what I came up with!
Hope you'll like it and until next time, stay safe and huggies all!

Butterfly 12x12 one sheet wonder

Hello guys,

For today I would like to show you some cuties I made for a challenge proposed by Huldra Designstudio. It was a real challenge considering that I have never done something like this.
So I chose a paper sheet from my stash, I cut 10 cards of 10x10cm and started to create. After finishing them, I still have some paper left and I am thinking of designing some sort of box for them. 

And the final results ...
