My New Natural History Library Clear Stamps
I love stamps and stamping! Clear stamps are my favorite type and my favorite theme is Grunge. Further, as a designer, I have strong ideas about stamps I want… (Tink Hint – Never shop for a sofa or shoes with a designer. 😉 ) Lately, to combat the “I Want Something That Doesn’t Exist” Syndrome, I have started designing my own stamps and having them made. 😉 Here are my most recent sets… All cut apart and ready to use! @RubberStamps_com #stampwithus RUBBERSTAMPS.com I did four Alphabet sets, seen here. The other two pictures feature the stamps I designed for the theme – ‘Natural History Library’. The images have been…

Small Ephemera Storage
Since I got my Silhouette Cameo 4 a couple of months ago, I have been cutting out digital ephemera like a crafting fool 😉 Both my own designs and those from other Makers… They fit nicely in plastic envelopes I got from Amazon, but I was soon overwhelmed. Where to put all of the envelopes? Anywho… I spent the last couple of days building boxes for them to live on a closet shelf. Sometime in the future, I’ll decorate the boxes. 😉 The one on its side (on the left side of the pic) is to hold the envelopes as I pull them for each project… To keep things organized…

I Love Junk Journal Ephemera
You know you love #JunkJournals when… You peel the back label off a vintage avocado colored washing machine, dumped out on the street.

Junk Journal 100 Day Project Start
Last year, I discovered the Junk Journaling 100 Day Project well into its run. I didn’t know when it started and had no details about it. This year, by happenstance, I heard about it just a couple of days after it began. I stumbled across a YouTube video by Margarete Miller discussing her plans. I was watching an unrelated video by Margreth of SevenPlaza at the same time. She was creating a wonderful Travel Kit… a project which was calling my name, loud and clear. 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAVeeppMzIM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jo_0SCu0cI&t=802s All in all, it came together for me. A creative challenge (which I love), and two great projects which dovetailed perfectly. Yep……

Vintage Tile Printable Papers for Junk Journals
As a designer, I don’t have a favorite color per se… I like whatever color will do the job that needs doing. That said, I love blue in interior design. Blue is a color I can live with easily. Add in the idea of vintage and distressed? Yep. You got me! This set of printable papers is based on actual vintage Moroccan tiles. In fact, I used these designs to make myself a small set of drawers to collect all the bits and bobs that seem to gather on bedside tables and in bedside drawers… I love how the different tile designs work together in a cohesive whole without being…

Madcap Violets Collage Pages on Etsy
I have always loved violets. I vividly remember when my dad purchased violets at the local garden store to plant under the Stewardia Dogwood in our backyard, when we lived in Timonium Maryland. Looking thru vintage postcards and garden catalogs, there were many violets and violet related designs available back at the end of the 18oos and early 1900s. Finding adorable ones was a lotta fun as I worked on these designs 😉 Here are collage pages and reverse pages perfect for any Junk Journal! I had a blast designing these and my husband, Jeffrey, named the set… How can anyone resist that vintage Madcap Violets illustration by the Prang…
