I think I mentioned recently that I’ve been working on some journaling tags. Here’s what I’m talking about:
Just a lot of messy painting (my favorite kind) and then with my rubber stamps, funky yarns and good old pen & ink I plan to turn them into this:
The key is that each tag will have a journaling prompt. I’ll tell you why I’m making these later but let me just say they are so fun to make.
In other crafty adventures, I’ve succumbed and started a Facebook Fan Page for Bookgirl’s Studio. I figured that might be an easy way for people to keep up with what’s going on in the Studio. I’ll always mention sales, new products, etc. here as well but if you are on Facebook and want to be my fan, I’d greatly appreciate it!
And, speaking of Bookgirl’s Studio, I’m having an End of Summer Sale this weekend on some of my beaded journals. You can already check them out here. I’m just trying to make room for some new stuff.
More bookish stuff tomorrow.
Ooh! I love the swirly stamp.
They are beautiful! 🙂
I really love your tags. What great prompts for scrapbooking.
You are so creative! I always hope that if hang out near people like you, some of it will rub off on me!
I LOVE them and am anxious to hear how you plan to use them (I am thinking that this would be a great way to present the daily journal prompt in my 9th grade class)
it really takes a good artist to make that… i would have destroyed your tags 🙂
i wish i knew how you do that… i would have made bookmarks!
Ladytink_534 – I’m amazed at how many times I’ve used that stamp on other projects. Just a fun one to have!
Melody – Thank you 🙂
vivienne – Thank you and yes, they’d be great for scrapbooking too. I don’t do as much scrapbooking nowadays but I want to get back into it!
Sandy – You are too funny. I bet you’d come up with some cool stuff too!
Molly – Thank you and oh wow, I think that’d be a great way to get your students journaling! Sometimes people just have a hard time knowing what to put on paper and this is a way to just get thoughts down.
Veens – Ah, I just play around. It’s amazing really how much we can all do if we only just learn to let go of expectations and try 🙂 And, you know, I have made bookmarks with those tags before. I should make some again!
These are so cute. I can’t wait to become your facebook fan!
Those are really cute (and I may have to check out the sale before I go on holiday).
Yikes, you have joined the Facebook.
I am still resisting. I have received about 20 people who want to friend me, but I don’t want to join.
Tags, great looking. Keep having fun.
Nikki – Thank you! 🙂
Jodie – Oh, you are going on holiday? Where to? I hope somewhere fun! 🙂
Isabel – Well, I’m only doing it for the shop and I’m telling myself I can’t get too caught up in that. The blog keeps me busy enough 🙂 I have so many more tags to go! haha
Cool tags! I haven’t joined Facebook or Twitter–I know they are popular, but I can’t even keep up on blog posts, so I think I’d just feel totally overwhelmed. Good luck with it, though–I know lots of people love both!
Love the tags. Can’t wait to hear what they’re for.
wow, I love those!
