Hi crafty folks! Do you enjoy seeing junk mail turned into junk journal ideas? Please let me know in your comments! I can make more embellishments, adornments and faux-phemera and journals from this free resource if you would like to see it! Just let me know! :) I am always happy to hear from you! :)

Well, since you are asking.......I have been wanting to bring this up for a while now so here goes. Faux Homemade Paper. Have you seen it yet? It looks amazing and I've been saving up stuff like my silk threads so when I make some glue I can try my hand at this faux paper thing, but...... I would LOVE to see what you would do with it. I think it's "Treasure Books" that has the video on how to make it, but I wouldn't be quoting me on it if I were you. Haha. Anywho, hope you try it . It looks like a lot of fun. And I hope you have a beautiful day today and every day. 🤗

I love the colors it was before adding the gesso. I should be able to use clear gesso and keep those colors. It also would not require painting. Probably add an extra gesso layer to allow for the extra coverage the paint would have given it. After all, it is only paper! I wonder what smart person said that? 😀

So far so good. I had wondered about the fabric you used so I peeked at comments & replies and found I was correct in my thinking it was the flour sack tea towel from Walmart I bought them when out church ladies had a night at the home of one of them who does embroidery with a machine...oh my she did some really cute ones. We got to pick our subjects from her many patterns. I love the fabric, so this is great..I only used one of the two I bought so guess what I'm going to use it on... yeah....Thank you for all your great inspirational ideas. Now I have to continue on with the next videos. TTFN... Ta ta for now! 🥰. You too Mr. Fluffy Pants. Don't chew mom's flip flops. 🤪❤️

Oh hey, if you want to clean up that brush a bit, soak it in vinegar. It does wonders. Some say to use hot vinegar so I gave that a try , but I couldn't see that it did any better than just plopping brushes into it at room temp. I'd like to say it works on everything but that might be exaggerating just a wee tiny bit.... maybe. My mom painted with oils and acrylics and wasn't very good at cleaning her brushes so when I got them some were hard as rocks but I couldn't throw them away. When I heard about the vinegar thing, years later, I gave it a try and to my great surprise they are ,now, usable. I paint with watercolors and am TRYING to paint with acrylics AND I have a grandaughter. The vinegar treatment works on those brushes too, including the mystery goo brush...... for the most part. Grandchildren. Testing the limits of cleaning supplies and patience since the beginning of time. Gotta love the little monsters 😄💜

Gesso is not mandatory, its only thick white paint but you can create the cover with mod podge or however you like! :) The world is your oyster! :)The mod podge will add sturdiness too! :) I used gesso to even the tomes out for a solid base color and also to tack down the little fly away edges of paper :)

I am a new subscriber. I have watched some of your journal making vlogs. I have had to get up twice to check my fire alarm that kept making a loud screech. Now I realise you have a pet after watching last vlog. I don't know what type of pet you have, bird I would think. I feel such an idiot. Ha!!!
