Hi friends!! I was out of town for several days and once I got back home, I had a hard time getting back into the swing of things. Does that happen to you?
I’ve only been in my studio the last couple days. I finished this journal and thought I would share it with you.
I’lll be listing it in my Etsy shop too, as always, the link is in my bio! Thanks for taking a look!

I have a minimum of 45+ projects going on at any time. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ve now decided I should add another 🙄and work on some travelers notebook inserts. I added some papers and pockets to a bunch of pages and will probably add more to these pages as I journal. Right now a smaller platform seems really appealing! Anyway the last pic is how I store my inserts and how many more I have to work on.

I thought I’d share this second video of my ephemera file holder after I added a few items to it. It was a birthday gift and the recipient loved it! She’s adding a few of her family items to it.
But is anything ever finished? I added a few updates to this folder after this video and before I mailed it! Do you tweak your projects again and again? Or is a completed project finished for you?

I thought I’d pull out some of my unfinished projects and maybe finish them depending on what’s left to do. This is an OLD one! It’s a book remembering my dad. I used a child’s board book, peeling the glossy page off each page and the covers. Then adding scrapbook paper, acrylic paint, rubber stamping and stickers. I only have a couple pages to finish and then add journaling. I’ll post a video once it’s completed.

Working on cabinet cards this weekend! I used card stock instead of chip board for the base. They have curled a little bit, but I’m not too worried about it. I’m really happy with the way they turned out. Thanks to @jenniferbeebeart for the stamps I won in her giveaway!

I’m trying my hand at Polaroids today! I have quite a few original ones. I share some of those in a longer video over on my YouTube channel @alteredbitsjournals. These were fun to make! If you’ve made some or have suggestions let me know! I’m always learning!
