Junk Journal Ephemera – Paper Fans

Make Your Own Ephemera Webster’s Dictionary defines ephemera as something of no lasting significance. I have the same popular ephemera collections as most paper crafters but I also like to design my own ephemera.  This little paper project has been in my ephemera box for quite a while and I finally got around to making more than one to share and creating a video post as well. The photo below inspired me to try to create a paper fan as an ephemera piece and it brought back a memory of a fan necklace charm that I still have that is almost...

Bookmark Corner I make corner bookmarks all the time as they are so versatile for pages and embellishment spots. In this instance I made one specifically to make a loaded tag and embellished it to the hilt being careful to highlight the beautiful flowers on my paper. I love this paper collection as even with surprise cuts I can still retain a focal point and use just one sheet to make many items.

Hidden Paper Clip - Bobbi Pin Brooches I have a previous post on making these faux junk journal brooches by using a hidden paper clip and I didn’t like the bulk the paper clip and extra layers of paper were adding so I came up with a new idea using bobbi pins. This works so much better so I decided to do a video of the process.  I did use one of my ladies in hats from My Fair Lady ephemera to create one of the paper clip designs, shown on the mini journal.  This is also part of my use it...

One Of The Most Versatile Punches I’ve Ever Found For Mass Making

More Mass Making A quick post about one of the most versatile products I’ve run across in a long time. Makes me wish I was still and Amazon affiliate but I am not. I briefly mentioned in the last post but thought I’d give a further preview. I had been searching for a long time for a decorative versatile design corner punch that would allow for any length or width to no avail. I ran across one that had a center punch button but I don’t like those very much as not only are they hard to punch but you can’t be...

Junk Box 2 - Watch What I Create From Junk Box Paper

Pinterest Inspiration I don't know where time goes but like summer and quickly disappearing autumn it just seems gone in an instant. I've been spending a lot more time on Pinterest and groups lately looking at pictures as I am finding I just don't have the time to sit through long videos if I want to have time to create myself, which I do. I really enjoy just watching the creative process when I don't need another tutorial and just want to unwind. I don't know that anyone has that kind of time unless they are retired, which I'm not....
