Journal Techniques, Stitching Shortcuts, How to add fabric to Journals, Fabric Scraps Journal
Welcome! One of my go-to favorites when creating in my journals is to add little stitching "cheats". These are small scraps of fabrics that have been prestitched. I keep a jar full of them on my desk and glue them into my art whenever I need that added touch of fabric and thread.
Hope this sparks some inspiration!
thanks for wathing

    I enjoy creating art. Recently, I revisited a journal entry from two years ago and noticed that my art has improved since then. I particularly enjoy using my art to tell stories, as it helps me tap into my creativity. As an older retired RN BSN, I've always had a knack for drawing and painting. Now, I use art as a way to maintain my sanity, haha!❤

    This video was really speaking to me. I started making junk journals last November 2023. At the time, I was feeling exactly what you expressed in the video. After almost 25 years of teaching, every day I questioned what I had done staying so long and why. At this point, I'm still not past it. I'm on summer break now just trying to enjoy every precious fleeting moment. Whenever I think about the end of summer, I just replace the dreaded thoughts with something creative, even if it's watching a video. I came by your videos through the mini field notes books episodes 1, 2 and 3. I, too, want to ✍🏽 children's books. In fact, I have a finished book without illustrations just sitting on a shelf. I say that we both just go for it!!! ❤😊
