This mini journal is made with Art by Marlene dies. It is really cute and is about 2.5” by 2”. I love miniature books and here are so wonderful to work with. 

Made in the hoop, these little purses can be used to keep coins or USB’s. Nice to hang on a backpack or use for organization of little items. 

These acrylic abstract pieces have been cut and pieced to a handmade envelope journal.  There are many varieties of envelope journals on Youtube and this was my own version of gluing envelopes together to form a nice, stable booklet.  

I created this journal on envelopes glued together.  There are many ways to make the basic journal, and you can find hundreds on Youtube.  I have added papers from the magazine Stampington's  Somerset Studios as they always have beautiful paper for one to use.  I haven't added any elements; this is just the basic covering of the pages leaving the slots open for use.   The size is about 4.5" x 9"  

I recently started doing paperclip art after watching Youtube videos about it.  Lolly Palooza has some wonderful videos about this art.  As I do very small creations, and mostly place them in accordion books, I decided that this was a great idea for my pieces.    I highly recommend this art as although it is small, and fairly quick, it is very creative and fun.

I used a very simple method of starting off with washi tape and then adding torn elements of hand made collage paper.  I added a die cut flower image from Altenew and some washi flower stickers.  

I love creating very small art from which I put together small accordion albums or create one framed pictures, for example.  Here the theme of lemons and flowers was created by using stickers with those focal points based on a textured background.  

This was one of my first journals created on an old book.  Entitled "Themes" as each spread has a particular story and isn't abstract in any way.  The elastic closure was sewn with a studded elastic fabric.  

I love these Stamperia stencils and created a second in this green and blue theme.  The modeling paste glides beautifully into the stencil cut outs creating lovely, clear designs.  Again, I used the sewing machine to accentuate the lines.
