I am going to get better at this blog stuff, you just watch? LOL! In all seriousness, I have so many ideas for blogs, and I just never think of putting it out there. I basically brain dump it all in one of my journals and just go about my business. Well, today, on this New moon day, I decided to blog... I grabbed the journal, found the brain dump page and viola, here we go!
Craft supplies can be spending, Heck, I bet I have spent over thousands of dollars in craft supplies. That is a span of over, mmmm, lets just say, 5 years. But what this has done for me is created a sort of shrine. A circus shrine, but nonetheless a shrine. I am very much a pack rat of craft supplies. My mother in law beats me, by thousands of yards but that is a whole other blog. I love paper crafts. Art journals, junk journals, bullet junk journals, planners, scrapbooks, um... did I miss one? PAPER crafts are so much fun and a great way to get creative with what you have. Oh and if you have a good printer, you are set to create! I have an abundance of art journals and junk journals. Even scrapbooks from like 20 years ago. But my joy comes from junk journals, travel junk journals, art journals... just putting paper to paper, finding mixed media and enjoying combining two mediums to create a pretty page. So much fun... And don't forget about themes? A theme can create a whimsical turn to any journal.
So when you are going through your junk drawer, or going through the mail pile you are scared to look at, think about things you can make out of an envelope, or cardboard, index cards, or even playing cards. All this can make for a very unique and whimsical junk jounral.
Happy Crafting
