Wonder Woman Junk Journal – Old Project, New Twist Part 2 with Eileen Hull

I'm back with the finished journal! For the month of August, Eileen Hull's Creative Team had the theme "Old Project, New Twist". Six years ago (!!) I started a Wonder Woman themed junk journal and didn't get much further than making the cover and a few pages. Oops! It had been languishing since then. Back then the largest journal die Eileen had was the original Sizzix Journal Die. I've collected so much ephemera to put in the journal I knew I wanted to start anew using the larger Full Size Journal Die! I showed you the cover at the beginning of the month and I finally finished the whole thing. Get ready to scroll…

Whew, there's a lot packed in here! 

Would you believe I still have ephemera left over? I'm going to finish the original smaller journal I started all those years ago lol.

Wait, there's more! I'm glad I redid this using the larger Full Size Journal Die. I could fit in much more.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to check out what my fellow designers have making for the month.

Magical Butterflies with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Outdoors". I love seeing butterflies in my garden this time of year so I was inspired to make a card focusing on them. I used the AALL & Create die set Starflight to cut out the butterflies and arch shape out of heavy duty cardstock. I glued the butterflies down first, then, when dry, I spritzed it with water and Lindy's Magicals powders. I really like how it pooled in the nooks and crannies for some intense mica gleam.

The green background is colored with Emerald Isle PaperArtsy Infusions Dye crystals. I also used the Lavinia Laurel stencil to add the leafy texture.

Old Project, New Twist Part 1 with Eileen Hull

For the month of August, Eileen Hull's Creative Team has the theme "Old Project, New Twist". Six years ago (!!) I started a Wonder Woman themed junk journal and didn't get much further than making the cover and a few pages. Oops! It's been languishing since then. Back then the largest journal die Eileen had was the original Sizzix Journal Die. I've collected so much ephemera to put in the journal I knew I wanted to start anew using the larger Full Size Journal Die! So here we have part one of this project – the cover:

New, larger cover!

Woo hoo, I can jam more stuff in this one!

I decided to put in a binder mechanism so I can have chunky loose leaf pages.

Here's a look at the original project:

I kept the look somewhat similar because I was very happy with how the first cover turned out. Who knows, maybe I'll end up making a large and smaller version of the journal. I'm pretty sure I have enough stuff for it lol. I keep finding more I squirreled away!

Magicals Mermaid Card with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our product focus is on mixed media and using ink/pigment powders. I have been having fun playing with the Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals Pigment Powders making all sorts of backgrounds using the Enchanted Forest set. I paired them with Lavinia ocean themed stamps to create this dreamy mermaid card.

To make the Magicals backgrounds, I spritzed pieces of mixed media cardstock with water and then sprinkled on tiny bits of the pigment powders. (A little goes a long way, they really pack a punch!) I spritzed on more water and let the powder particles dissolve and flow – letting them air dry naturally. The AALL & Create Starflight die set made a lovely frame for the focal panel and stamping.

"Summer Vibes" Yellowstone Vacation Journal with Eileen Hull

Here's part two of my Yellowstone vacation album! Eileen's Creative Team has the theme of "Summer Vibes" for July so I decided to finally make an album with all of the photos and ephemera from our 2019 trip. (See part one of this project here.)

I used Eileen's Full Size Journal Die for the journal base. (To maximize the number of pages I could include in the journal, I didn't overlap the spine pieces. I butted them up next to each other and glued on another piece of mat board I cut to make the spine. I used the Bookbinding & Label Die Set 665153 to create page attachment tabs on the spine. (Like I did for this Halloween journal.)) Following are photos of all the pages:

I used lots of flaps and tuck spots throughout to fit in all the "stuff".
