Paper Love
I love paper, always have, not only the textures but the different colours and weights. Over the years I have built up quite a collection and love finding different uses for the paper in my work. I also like buying art and craft magazines, they are filled with inspiration and ideas, and most come with additional free items for you to use in your work whether samples of paper, stamps or both.

Craftseller Magazine - issue 28 |
Chunky Journals - Capturing Moments
Craftseller Readers submission - |
They sent me a copy of the magazine in the post, my journals were put in issue 28 above. I saw that as well as
putting my chunky journals in their magazine they also awarded me the star letter and I received a £45 voucher to buy products of my choice from Stickytiger supplies! I was over the moon and I brought a selection of stamps and stencils, it was a lovely surprise and boost as I go down the road of submitting some more of my craft based work.

Round up
Other news today, I am stocking up on lots of vitamin and mineral rich food, the flu seems to be going round and a lot of people around me have become victims, my mother has been sniffing and sneezing a lot, and with the elderly you have to make sure they keep as fit as ever, so the old time remedies of ginger, honey and lemon come to the rescue and wrapping up warm.
I am very happy to share that Alan Springer - My husband, has republished his book E-Kidz - Mission to Cyberspace with Hansib publishers. The book is about e-safety and encourages chilodren through fiction and information to be more aware of the dangers of the Internet. I will no doubt be getting him to share his work over the next few months. Take a look at his Ekidz website
Tomorrow I will be sharing the latest Gratitude's and Celebration Journal page, take some time to think about what you have been grateful for and remember to celebrate something about your life. Hope you've had a blessed day, check out some of the links, leave a comment and do let me know what you've been up to!

I will be making some journals using yours as inspiration. My gr-daughters and I made some rough ones last year. Now, I'll up the game!
ReplyDeleteSusan, go for it, it has been great, it is lovely that you have got your granddaughters interested!
DeleteHi Amanda .. congratulations on being featured in the magazine - wonderful news. Also a prize you obviously loved ... more paper and pens etc ..
ReplyDeleteYour husband's idea sounds a very good one - I hope he has much success ..
Cheers and enjoy making your journals .. Hilary
Hilary, thanks, winning the supplies was the icing. Alan is working hard to get the book out there, he will even have the benefit of my challenge hints and tips.
DeleteI'm making an altered book which is much like this chunky journal. The more I do to it the chunkier it gets - LOL. Fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteTalya, its great making them and very satisfying adding all the contents. Looking forward to seeing yours!
