Painted Pages - Year Long Project
Winter invites us to slow down and add reflective pauses into our daily routines. This year-long project features watercolor-stamping or freehand painted pages in a book of inspirational quotes, turning quiet moments into a creative ritual. Gather a few old books or paper ephemera, your favorite medium, a handful of stamps, and a warm drink, then settle in for a cozy interlude. By year’s end, you’ll have a beautiful stack of ephemera transformed from drab to delightful.
Vintage paper pieces—like ledger pages, receipts, or faded forms are charming canvases. Printed ephemera is easy to find around the house or in thrift shops: bingo cards, the inside pages of greeting cards, old calendars, or even outdated checks. With a bit of watercolor stamping or hand-painted detail, these once-overlooked papers become unique additions to junk journals and paper craft projects.
Happy paper crafting!
