Here's the Art 'n Soul Journal Club players from last Friday; we are missing Kathy Peterson who arrived early and had to leave early. We'll catch her next time because I want you to see the cool 'paper' she's using for her journals as well as her journaling suitcase!
From l-r: Midge, Ava, Carla, Judy, Sam & Gloria |
And here's what they've been working on . . .
Here's Carla's mix of journals . . .
Carla's answer to her own challenge to Midge. |
With this journal, Carla thinks she's finally found where she wants to go with her journaling artistry. Her journals go with her all of the time, recording her traveling adventures. |
Carla introduced us all to her new portable thermal mini printer from Polaroid. No inks are involved; it's all done on the special paper. It now goes with her when she's traveling, and she can print her pics out wherever she is and the pic size is perfect for her journaling (as you've seen already); the papers are adhesive-backed for convenience. We were quite interested in how easy this little whiz works.
See how perfect the pic sizes are? |
Judy taught Ava and Gloria how to make her pocket book. What a fun time they had!
The paper selection for Ava's book cover is gorgeous; she's ready to put her book together and start embellishing! |
I told Gloria her cover paper (see below) was always a favorite paper of mine from Magenta. |
And here's Judy's project using the Sweet Threads paper from Basic Grey . . .
Here's Sam's old vintage suitcase she's using for her journaling endeavors. Who would have thought what we used to look at as "really old and ugly" in our very younger days would be such a sought-after vintage treasure today. Sam's broken finger is progressing but it really interferes with her crafting! However, it doesn't diminish any of her 'go-get-'em' spirit and drive.
Judy shared some more of her books to show how she's embellishing them. She makes up several of these easy-to-fold books so she always has one ready to work with.
In this book, Judy cut out images and placed them on the inside fold of her book to give added dimension and interest. Each pocket has an extra-large tag that she has also embellished. |
