WOYWW #871 - Craft Corner

My desk with a journal page, trimmer and pending last photos for August. 


Sort of gave up on the BB Bash and joined a Calm Retreat but my head isn't in that either really.

I did some doodling/mark making on a strip of book page scraps (the page edges with no writing) so a bit of both courses.

Although the journal page is from the Calm session by Casey Turner , it was from her that I heard of the Calm Retreat anyways. I love her style.

At least now I have a HOPE page in my main journal as the others were in my Advent journal.

The latest scrap page was one of those which really "worked" I cut a patterned paper in half popped a dotted paper in the middle, made the photos run like a film strip and emanated the paper's colours with additional flowers.

Not at my best again tummywise - oh man

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

  1. I agree that layout method worked great. And a great way to make a single sheet of great paper stretch across a two-page spread. Live the snippet roll too - it would make a fab closure for a journal - I fancy doing similar with scraps of fabric for a sturdier wrap for a journal. Glad you have "hope!" :D Happy pre-Knitting WOYWW!

  3. Those journal pages are brilliant, clever you for making the paper stretch further, I wouldn’t have know what you did! The very long book (2nd pic) is brilliant, I had to zoom into that for a closer look, so effective!

  5. I have popped over to the BB Bash a couple of times and like what everyone's been doing but I wasn't very well when it started so didn't get into it. I have done some other stuff though. I like what you've done on the book page scraps and waiting to see what you use it for. Happy woyww, Angela x8x

  6. I do like your strip. I watched Casey’s session too. I only watched the first one. Of the BB Bash. I have got a bit behind with coping with the pain. Hugs Angela. #12

  8. I really love your craft corner page. All my frogs are just filled with stuffing as they are to be given to little ones (and I didn’t have anything to fill them with to make them into bean bags lol ).
    Hugs,

  9. Love that double scrap spread BJ. Hope you are feeling better soon. Not at Mum's as I have a rotten cold and didn't want to inflict it on her. Making quick visits between samples. Stay safe and happy belated WOYWW. Sarah

  11. I sort of gave up on the BB Bash too... I must not join all these things when I know I have a huge to do list. Love the doodle strip and your other pages... I was commenting last night (I knew I was late but better late than never!!) but then we had a 9 hour power outage so I stopped! And today its going to be 37 degrees! Happy WOYWW! Susan #15
