  • Like all the junk journal makers and collage artists I seem to create an ever growing pile of scraps and I'm constantly trying to use them up. One way I've found very productive and quick is to make postcards, now postcards are not only used as journal cards in my junk journals but I like to send them out as a thank you or thinking of you gift to friends and family. If I'm compiling an order from my Etsy shop or a commission I like to include a personal little note on a unique little piece of art....hence I use postcards I create.
    I hope you enjoy this video and find this method of scrap busting helpful.
    Here is the link to the acrylic painted book pages I was using in the video to decorate the final postcards.

    As I’m watching this Ceri, 2 yrs later I am hoping you still have your sweet Biscuit! ❤ I learned this new technique from you and my respect for you grows even deeper for your down to earth-ness! You don’t need to reply, but thank you again for your work on these videos.

    I seem to attract animals as well. Animals are precious. Their love is accepting and unconditional. Makes me happy.

    I know exactly why animals are attracted to you, my friend! They are excellent judges of character and are, no doubt, drawn to your big, kind, beautiful heart! 🥰. Just love how these turned out! Wonderful! The little boy is my favorite…love his wings! (With apologies to the poor butterfly who sacrificed his antlers 😂 ). I’ve been dying to watch this video and enjoyed it so much! I need to go through your videos to watch the acrylic painting technique. Love that idea! Sending love and hugs across the pond, dear friend! ❤️

      Me too, (on politics and the news). We're not narrow minded Ceri, we just chose to let others run that show so we have more time to focus on who and what we care to focus our attention on.❤

    Animals live at a higher frequency than humanity. They know unconditional love, which humanity is still trying to understand. Your magnet is also a higher frequency. It also attracts birds, dragonflies, butterflies and just bugs in general lol. I’ve had cicadas chase me around my garden!
    Have a great day Ceri💓

    Oh dear Ceri, I'm watching you in April 2022, 10 months after you posted this. Sadly, we are in the 6th wave and things are not going well. I think it is a very good thing we didn't know we would be in this thing for the long haul.
    I love your postcards. I do Postcrossing and some members express liking original, handmade cards. My goal is to have a bunch ready for these people. I think your method is brilliant.

Thank you for your refreshing take on paper crafting...I was going to recycle (get rid of) some of my old books, now I know what to do with them.
    I checked your website and can't find where you say what those rings are that you keep your washi tape on, that is a brilliant idea. And I gotta see if you have a video on how you made your ephemera books, also a cool and handy idea. Keeps them within easy eye reach, instead of hidden away.
