TYPEWRITER ALBUM PART 10 - FLOWER EMBELLISHMENTS I hadn't really intended to start making embellishments before completing the pages of this album, but one goes where the creative flow dictates! Recently I watched Barbara of 49Dragonflies on YouTube, making some gorgeous flowers from punched circles, and I knew I wanted to try it.…
MIXED MEDIA FROM CUT LETTUCE STEMS I was preparing some salad today and cut the bottoms off the Romaine lettuce. I've noticed before how attractive these cut bits are, looking a bit like stars. I took some photos and fiddled about with the colour and contrast a bit in my photo editor. Some…
TYPEWRITER ALBUM PART 8 - GATE FOLD FOLIO PAGE A gate fold is a paper with the two sides folded into the centre, so that when you open them like opening a double door, the larger portion is revealed underneath. I am grateful to Sara-Lee Armstrong for this design, which I saw on…
TYPEWRITER ALBUM PART 7 - A FLORAL PAGE As I mentioned before, I am not following a particular schedule with this project, but just flipping through the prepared signatures and deciding to work on one, whatever order they are in. This page is also in the second signature. It is the third one…

TYPEWRITER ALBUM PART 1 - CHOOSING THE PAPERS FOR THE PAGES A new project which is also part of my scrap and stash busting mission. I recently downloaded Luise Heinzl's Typewriter Ephemera digital kit, which consists of various album elements such as tags, journaling cards and page tabs. Over the past months I…
LUISE HEINZL'S TYPEWRITER EPHEMERA I have just downloaded this kit from Luise's Etsy and love the vintage grunge of it all. I successfully printed out all the sheets on my new printer and am very pleased with the result. The pages consist of printables of page tabs, pockets, belly bands, journaling cards etc.…
MASTERBOARD BOOK - VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT, AND PRINTER NEWS Some more pages for my masterboard book, this time using images from the Voynich Manuscript, but first, I was unhappy with one of my earlier pages: This was the one with the financial documents and Payne's grey water. It looked messy and dull and I…
