His story

Hello everyone & welcome,

Today I have a masculine mini album that I would like to share with you. This album features paper from the Vintage Journal Cards - mixed series, plus Alchemy 101 collection and Sherlock III - A New Case A4 papers. 

The front cover has lots of embellishments starting with this die cut shape, the large gears die, some buttons that I like to collect, black seed beads and gold pearl trim. These are all great embellishments for that masculine look. I love all of the images scattered throughout as they suit the vintage style of my album.      

Each piece of paper and image has been distressed using a paper distressing tool. I followed this with lots of inking. The colour ink pad I chose was 'Gathered Twig'.

There are lots of pockets and tags in this album.

Plenty of room for writing or adding photos.

This album is held together with O rings, allowing room for more pages to be added at a later date.

I am so pleased with how this album has turned out. Be sure to stop by Meg's Garden online store for products used to create my masculine vintage journal album.

Until next time. 

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Have a wonderful day & happy creating.

SHERLOCK III - A NEW CASE - MAN'S JOURNAL

Hello fellow Crafters,

Here in the Southern Hemisphere, we are now experiencing Autumn, which is such a lovely time to start being creative.
Meg's new collection is to hand and is called 'Sherlock III with Sherlock New Case' and wow so perfect for the special male in your life.

Today for you, I have created a small Man's Journal beginning from scratch as I did not have one on hand.  I cut up some cardboard approx. 6" x 8".  Here are some pics of it coming together.

Now for the good fun, I have made the pages so as to take pics and/or notes.

I made a small paper bag which I inked for some journalling inserts.

Covered the centre strips with book pages and inked to suit.

This collections 'New Case' cut outs are fantastic and great for using in whatever you wish to create.

Here are some closeups of Meg's Garden brass embellishments.

I hope you have enjoyed the journey today and be sure to check out this lovely collection HERE.  Until next time.....happy creating from Liz. :)
