Using our vast stash of (very old - at least like from the ’90s) Fox River Confetti Kraft A4 Envelopes (4 1/4 x 6 1/4) with a square flap to be exact to make a Love Letter junk journal. This project was inspired by the use of Luise Heinzl’s papers from the...
Disclaimer…the video process for me is not a natural one! I just get into what I’m doing without even a thought of turning on the camera. That’s one scenario, the other is I think it’s on, it wasn’t or the latest one is all super duper fast mode and I...
Twilight Hues, the paper has been created for those craving a violet-blue/blood orange treat. Twilight Hues, the journal continues on with this theme but adds to it with more original mixed media art. Twilight Hues is very much an interactive, viewer-involved art journal. There are a total of 7 flip...
Plan B should not be the starting point of a project! — it only encourages the “Creating Spirits” to keep solving problems! So starting off, the paper was not the right size or weight; flimsy would best describe it. The paper scraps were from an earlier project, a bit on the...

Why is it that when it comes to finishing a big project, the squirreling urge activates, and focus stalls out sputtering to a dead stop? It is so deeply embedded in my modus operandi that digging it out would be counterproductive to my productivity. Think on that a spell…Now, that...
Cloudy Seaside Mini-Books – concertina accordion box set (four in all) are a walk through art history, a bit of literary, and even a touch of textile. Each connected journal is done so with a thread of Japanese culture, a brush stroke of French impressionism, and a swirl of Dutch...
For our latest sit down and chat we go through one of our latest sets of printable papers and explain some of our processes. A very in-depth conversation about each element we put into our digital printables from concept to execution. Stamps, Sketches, and mixed media journal pages are just...
Fecundity. Rituals of spring. Rebirth. Symbols of all these things…eggs being the choice here! Each egg is backed with a photo of Izzy and represents our celebration of the season: Joy! The colors were chosen to coordinate with Marie’s (whatever) collection of brightly-hued papers. Lots of fun going through photos...
