Victorian Days Junk Journal

 Hi Crafters,

Its been months since I last made a journal as I have been busy with study (nursing studies). I am currently on holiday and very happy to be back in the craft seat!


My latest creation is the Victorian Days junk journal. I have designed and printed seven 'Victorian Days' pages. These pages feature Victorian ladies and roses. So pretty! The rest of the pages are made from scrapbooking paper from my ever growing stash! 

Check out the flip through video below.



Printable pages are available from HERE

Happy crafting !

Journal Flip Through - For The Love Of Rose's



Hello Crafter's

Today I am showcasing my completed "For The Love Of Rose's" junk journal. 

For this journal, I chose to use a soft cover as opposed a hard cover which is what I would normally use. To make the cover I used a patterned piece of A4 card. 

This journal is both a mix of a printable kit and patterned papers from my personal stash. 

When ever I print out journal pages, I use patterned paper on the back of the printed page. This then gives me a double sided page. 

As I have mentioned previously, I absolutely adore images of vintage rose's so making this journal was a pleasure. 

The printable journal pages are available in my Etsy store. Click HERE to purchase it.

Also available in my Etsy store is the printable ephemera kit click HERE to purchase it.

Shabby Loaded Tags

Hello there Crafter's,

It's been a rather grotty day here in Te Kauwhata, New Zealand which makes for a perfect crafting day!

Today I made two sets of loaded tags. Both sets are 'shabby' themed as I just LOVE shabby chic.

The first set is the 'Shabby Romantic' set. This set features a pink & white striped background.
These tags are available in my etsy store. Click HERE to find them.


Once I print the tags out, i them stick pretty paper on the back from my ever growing stack of patterned papers.


Once this step is completed, I then create the pockets. This can involve gluing and sewing. So much fun! 

Once that's done, its on to the ephemera used to fill the pockets. 

Last step is creating the folio. The folios I used today are my digital designs.
 I printed them out and glued pretty fabric to the back then sewed around them just to reinforce the fabric. 
To finish off the set, I've used pink lace and tied a bow.





Set two is the 'Shabby Angels' tags (also available in my etsy store HERE.





Pocket tags are always fun to make


Happy crafting

Baby Boy Mini Album


Feast your eyes on the cutest baby album ever! 

Front cover

This little gem took me a couple of days to make. It all started with the Cricut machine and an SVG file to cut the album out. For this I used powder blue cardstock. 

Next up after cutting the album out, I fished through my ever growing collection of patterned papers and found all my baby related one's ( I swear I spend half my time looking for stuff when crafting as there is just SO much stuff!)

There is 3 page sets with this mini album that fold up concertina style so I like to glue patterned papers to these page sets which are cut from powder blue cardstock. 

Once the page sets have been completed with the patterned paper its time to unleash the lace and make some pockets (along with paper tuck pockets etc)

These little albums are fun to make (although the can be a bit fiddly at times), the end result is always very pleasing.

Time to get back to the craft desk.
