Brad bound!

Happy Monday!

I came across a lovely tutorial over at

Cathy's Garden where she showed how you can make

a junk journal using brads for the spine.

I still can't get my head around vintage and junk and tend

to go for a cleaner look so I decided to have a go

my way.

I used papers from DCWV - all dressed up.

Vellum from my stash.

Stamps - Love this moment (SU).

Embellishments - fibres, lace, ric rac trim,  brads, butterfly punch.

Stencils - freebie from magazine

Printables - My Porch Prints.

Embossing folder - Crafter's Companion

You can watch a quick walk through of the inside here

I would like to enter this into

A Perfect Time to Craft - anything goes

Girlz & the Art of letters - E - embossing

vellum inside the book has been embossed with butterfly folder

Love to Craft - anything goes

A Place to Start - use vellum

used lots of vellum inside my book

The Outlawz - no cards option I'd wear that

More minis!

I have another little mini book for my daughter.

This one used the same papers from K & Co

but the pages inside were printed on copy paper

from My Porch Prints. I just used the pages with the

lines and some blank ones to stamp on.

I filled the blank pages with my stamped images

from two sets from Studio Light called

Floral Gems and Flowers & Butterflies.

I water coloured the images.

The front has been decorated using my stash

and I used a piece of ribbon for the closure.

You can watch a quick flick through here

or make one following this tutorial

I also made a few more but these were all printed

and then put together from

My Porch Prints
