Butterfly Stamp over two different book pages.

Layered Junk Journal Tag ( using a butterfly stamp over an old book page)

Here's a good way to add more words to your artwork. Stamp an image over an old book page. I totally forget about this stamping method..Try it, you'll end up with surprising results.. I'll share the project I make with this method.  I know for some this is no excitement but for me  I love merging the old with the new... There's always a new twist of design for me..

2019 Is here! : )

Yes 2019 is here and I have big plans for myself and this blog. I have a lot of cleaning and organizing in my little crafting studio to do. I also plan on opening an etsy shop. Lots and lots of processing to get done. This year I will share many of my new junk journal styles... I will also post some of my fun journeys at the antique and thrift stores. Crossing my fingers that I can post something soon!!
