Art Journalling in 2013

A New Year and a start to keeping an art journal/diary.

I decided to make an art journal that reflects what I do each week with my crafting.

I used Dylusions dyes to colour the pages and stamped various images using Gina K and Dylusions stamps.
The days and month were printed on the computer and added to the page.
Hopefully I will be able to keep up my entries in this journal.

Favourite Tips

If you need a brad of a particular colour and don't have one, check to see if you have some embossing powder of the colour you want . Rub embossing ink on the top of the brad, then dip it into the embossing powder then heat set it. Use tweezers or a clip peg to hold the brad while you heat it.
When you are stitching on cards, make sure you are not sewing over the top of DS tape! The needle gets gummed up and won't lock the threads underneath.
Use zip lock plastic envelopes for smaller pieces of card offcuts that accumulate when making cards. Have one envelope per colour and periodically go through and trim up so they are ready for use on another card.
