Recipe Junk Journal

Hi Guys,

I hope you are all having a great week? A few projects I did a while ago but hadn't the time until now to share on here.

I made the covers for this album out of an old box that I had lying around the house. I took the top layer off and then painted with white paint,I then used my bind-it-all to bind the album.

Though out this album I have used left over papers from various different collections.Which was a great way to use up your scraps.

I have added a few of my favourite recipes to this album but there is plenty of room to grow.

Thanks for stopping by, Hugs Emjay

Exciting News! And first projects

Hello sweet friends,I have some exciting news to share with you today. I have been asked to be on the design team for Little Blue Button Stamps

I would like to start by saying a big thank you to Olga for asking me to be a designer and I am looking forward to playing with her beautiful images.

I have two projects to share with you today. My first one is a set of four cards, using the Miss Lilly Cutie image on a 2 1/2 x 3 inch white card (I printed the image out at 2 1/2 x 1 inch).

The layered papers used on each card are by First Edition "Spring Drop". I coloured each image with my Spectrum Noir pens.

These were so easy and quick to make and will be great as thank you cards. I have left the inside blank and can be added to as and when needed.

For my second card I decided to make a shadow box card, which measures 6 x 5 inches by 1 inch deep. I have cut an oval window to the front, where I have used the Miss Lilly Cutie image again, and this time she is 4 1/2 x 2 1/4 inches. I used my Spectrum Noir pens to colour her in. The papers I used are "Sun Kiss" collection by Prima, the blue flower and the rolled flower on the top left hand corner I made by hand, the cream one is by W.O.C. I then stamped Happy Birthday on pop dots and added two metal roses.

I will be doing a video on these projects, which you can check out on my YouTube channel at Emjay2307

Handmade cards!

The card above was made out of a envelope.

My first attempt at layering the papers a curling the edges.

This is the first male card I have made.I found it hard not to add flowers,trims and bling as these are the things I love to incorporate in most of my projects.
Let me know what you think?
