“A flower’s appeal is in its contradictions — so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect.”– Terri Guillemets
A big part of my mixed media art adventure is to use all sorts of up-cycled fabrics. I have an endless supply of then and you can get a ton of use out of them. How do you use them in your craft? There are a lot of different ways to use fabrics.
Lately, I have been using my fabric squares and scraps for making journals, notebooks, journal and art tags, artist trading cards, bookmarks, altered playing cards, greeting card making, and collage work. These projects are great for any age, even two-year old’s!
Buying fabrics in retail stores are super expensive and many times the fabrics are only available in yards. Plus, one doesn’t always want to use new materials for these sorts of projects I mentioned above. That is why I have put together different size lots of up-cycled fabric cut offs and scraps bundles for sale at my ebay shop. I will do my best to provide a mix of fabric patterns weekly. All my material is in great shape and I make sure there are no stains, holes, or pilling. I do accept all reasonable offers on the price, so be sure to check out my store weekly!

“History is a kind of introduction to more interesting people than we can possibly meet in our restricted lives; let us not neglect the opportunity.” – Dexter Perkins
Yesterday morning, I posted a page on Instagram I made in my fall journal. The morning air was cool and crisp and the season brings reflections of times past and the people who lived long ago. To ponder their story as what it may have been like. How did they live? What did they witness? We may not always know who they were but the love and opportunity of using their pictures in our journals keeps their existence intact.
Many family’s belongings are lost or discarded and that is sad to say the least. I consider crafters who save these treasures and use them in their journals and their other creations, that give them a new life, memory keepers. By using their images, we are keeping an essence of them alive through their images.
I do not know the lady’s name in the photo I’m using. I can only imagine what her life must have been like. There is a story there.
Today, as I work in another page, I will use another photo and think of the people in the past and wonder what they would think of us today.
Journaling fills one’s soul with gratitude and healing calmness. It’s an appreciation for the old and the newness of life’s journey.
May your Sunday be filled with contentment and peace.
My wish is for you to be encouraged and inspired. God bless.

A page in my new fall journal I’m currently working in. I’ll show the whole journal once it’s completed. I really enjoyed putting this page together and the bookmark I made for the book. The bookmark is made from an image out of a magazine, scrapbook paper and a piece of left-over fabric.
The journal page is simple with a touch of paper collage, postcard and a authentic 1940s photo of a group of ladies. I’ll add a journal label to the bottom left of the page. The actual page I’m working on is from my 12” x 12” scrap-booking paper stash from the early 2000s and what a great way to use those big sizes of paper! I wonder who those ladies are and what their story is or was.
Journaling fills one’s soul with gratitude and healing calmness. It’s an appreciation for the old and the newness of life’s journey.
Happy crafty Friday!
