Confetti Windows :: New in Shop

So, remember the intro to my December Daily last December? I had tons and tons of Christmas-color hole punches from punching journals and wanted to incorporate them into my journal. I love, love, love how it turned out - I have not ever seen anything like them (after searching all over the www) and recently decided to make more - and they are now available in the shop. Custom sizes and color combos are also available.

These super colorful "windows" are perfect to add texture and whimsy to your art journals, mini albums or scrapbooking pages. The confetti moves freely in the window, so it is always changing the look of the page. The paper punches include vintage papers, new papers, old magazines, scrapbooking papers. All punches are from leftover scraps of paper - so they are being "recycled" into this fabulous confetti!

The windows come with no holes punched in the side, so you can punch them to fit in your journal or use clear adhesive to adhere to a page. They are completely transparent, so you can see bits and pieces of the image or page underneath.

Lovely: An Upcycled Mini

I was at a fast-food joint the other day with my sweet boys and some friends. Jimmy got a kid's meal and the little toy packaging had a fun piece of cardboard in it (am I the only one that gets excited about random packaging like a piece of cardboard?). It was all nice and cut to 2.5"x3.5" which is artist trading card size. Fun! So yes, I saved the cardboard. And then asked my friend if I could have the cardboard from her son's toy package (no joke). She laughed and said of course.

So I cut up some old papers, put some vintage sewing pattern paper on the front, along with some stickers and then added some (new!) washi tape and stamped the inside. I added a jump ring and called it finished.

I started adding pictures in it and writing down little jots here and there. It will probably just be a little book of randomness. Perfect.
