A new Water colored Halloween card share

I love to watercolor with markers and I've been practicing again. It is funny how that works. You take a break and come back to try again and you're better than before. lol.
I bought this stamp set from Art Impressions a couple of months ago. It is actually a Tri-fold card stamp set, but in this case, I just used one of the stamps.

Folded Journaling papers for junk journals

I know these are very simple looking folded papers but they will look beautiful in junk journals. 

Of course, i used the We R Memory keeper board to make the tab on the top and then folded it over to use as a tab. I used some of my hand painted flat buttons as a closure on the first two.

This third one i used my new snap closure. I bought a lot of these snaps from the goodwill a few weeks back and now my job is to find crafty ways to use them in junk journals. This could be fun. lol.

Thank you for stopping by to see what I've been up to.  I'm going to start posting often again soon. I've just been in a slump lately. I guess I really needed a break.

Look at these spooky mini books that i found

While Trolling around on Etsy the other day I found the perfect little Halloween Booklets that I could purchase and print. I want to use these books as dangles on my Halloween junk journals so I added the chain and clasps. Oh how cute will these be. Since i've taken the photo, i added some cute confetti spiders to the fronts also.

The Etsy shop that I purchased these from is called "My Porch Prints". I've been looking for something like this for a long time so you can imagine how excited that i was to find them.

Thanks for stopping by today and taking a look.

Loving these little booklets for junk journals

I made these booklets for pockets in my junk journals.
They are made of designer paper folded in half and then the corners rounded on the right. Distress inked around the borders with Vintage photo distress ink. Used my Stampin' up puch for the tabs on these.
These are a couple of booklets ( of many ) that i made. Graphic of the birds i believe is from a Tim Holtz ephemera pack that i had

The paper on the Right is from a Tim Holtz stack and then i just added a sticker crow that i had in my stash.
Added an eyelet to the tab and used a bulb pin with charm for a dangle. Sewed a couple of coffee dyed paper to the center of the book for journaling.
