Paper Clips For Christmas Journals

Today I played with snippets and made some paperclips for Christmas journals.

Papers: Leftovers from other projects: Coffee stained papers and book papers.

Images: Beccy.
In the small pocket on every paperclip there is a little paper to journal on.
I inked the edges with Distress Ink (Walnut Stain)

A piece of a book paper on the front.

                                                       

 

                                      

A little journaling paper to write on.

Origami Box

Origami is new for me. Wether my eyes nor my fingers are used to that accurate work.
But I hope I will learn more by practicing, so I'll try again.

I made this little box / pouch to store Christmas images which I am going to use later.
Through the whole year there are Christmas challenges popping up,
and I want to have my small images and sentiments gathered.

I used a coffee stained paper, size A 4.
To know this is a box for Christmas images (I also made boxes for other themes),
I decorated it with a holly image from Beccy and a red ribbon.
Heart punch: Atelier Terziev.
Distress ink: Wallnut Stain.

Closure: a "Christmas red" ribbon

Images waiting to be used

I glued the ribbon to the bottom with a punched heart.

A Little Winter Journal

Happy New Year from Switzerland!

We had a wonderful Christmas time with my family in Norway!
I am so happy we could be there!
It was my first Norwegian Christmas since I moved to Switzerland 2005.

One of the gifts for my granddaughter was a little winter journal made with the "Shades of Winter" set from "Happiness in Crafting" by Gi Kerr.
I also used images and sentiments from Beccy for some of the tags and journal cards.

Different winterly dies and stamps, stencils and embossing folders were used to give the journal a personal look. The papers to write on are coffee stained.
Self coloured seam binding for the closure and the tags,
and of course lots of glitter (Stickles) and distress inks.
Unfortunately I forgot to make fotos of the tags outside the pockets.

This tag has got an image and a sentiment from Beccy
and coffee coloured seam binding for the bow.
