Thistle bookmarks.

Prickly but pretty! 

It is nice to have lined journal cards sometimes. So I have done up a couple for you. 

 

Rose cards or embellishments

Roses are beautiful flowers, I can hardly wait to use these in my journals as journal cards, pockets, paper clips and more. Just click on picture then right click on save as. 

Just another bag of goodies I got from the Lion's Club garage sale. You never know what I will find from week to week. Some of this stuff you just have to grab when you see it. 

 

Just a look at some random bits and pieces being put together to make some cute journaling cards. Got to try and get this type of thing used up to make room for more stuff! 

 

All the colors of a rainbow!

Just some square embellishments to use for what ever comes to mind! 

Sea Horses

Imagine tiny seahorses adorned in delicate vintage lace in those beautiful teal shades—what a magical look that would create. Whether you’re crafting cards, creating little embellishments, or even making your own unique paper clips, it’s bound to add a touch of elegance and whimsy to your pieces.

 

Beautiful Birds 

 These charming fluttering creatures rest gracefully among the branches, waiting to bring a touch of nature to your creations. Use these printable journal cards as-is, or elevate them with vintage lace, trims, or other delicate accents. 

Scaled down, they make perfect little embellishments for your nature-themed journals or collages.

Tropical flowers

 

These tropical flowers will transport you to a sun-soaked beach, where the ocean breeze and salty air soothe your soul.

The beauty of Butterflies!

These bookmarks are absolutely stunning! The combination of intricate butterflies and the vintage text backdrop gives them such a timeless, elegant vibe. The subtle pops of color in the butterflies against the muted, old-world text create a beautiful contrast.

These would definitely work well for tall tags, side tucks, or bookmarks, as you mentioned. You could even add some ribbon or lace at the top for a more tactile, vintage feel. If you plan on making tall skinny cards, you could use one of the designs as a focal point on the front, adding a simple greeting or a small quote to complement the vintage theme.

Flowers and Bees Cards

The beauty of wildflowers, alive with bees—pollinating each bloom so their brilliance can shine for all to see.

 

Check out all the other freebies as well, will be putting up lots over time! 

 

Shabby Denim Background Paper

Someone asked me about making a writing background to go with the Shabby Denim paper set.

So I decided to do a set of 5 pages that would go nicely with the kit. I am offering them as a freebie to you! Just click on the picture, then right click and save as.

 

Fairy Circles

That sounds absolutely magical! Fairy circles are such a whimsical and versatile idea—perfect for adding a touch of enchantment to any craft project. Here are a few creative ways you could use them beyond embellishments and hidden paper clips:

🌿 More Creative Uses for Your Fairy Circles:

1. Journaling Accents – Use them as page tabs, borders, or corners in junk journals or bullet journals.

2. Mini Tags – Add a bit of twine or a brad and turn them into gift tags or message tokens.

3. Fairy Garden Markers – Laminate them and use them as labels or decorations in a fairy garden setup.

4. Ornaments – Hang them from branches, wire trees, or even in windows for a floating fairy effect.

5. Pocket Inserts – Slip them into mini envelopes or tuck spots in scrapbook layouts or handmade cards.

6. Bookmarks – Layer a few together or glue them to ribbon ends for charming bookmarks.

7. Party Decor – Use them for fairy-themed party confetti or cupcake toppers.

Hello everyone

So it seems that collecting, organizing and using are truly 3 different hobbies!

 

 So what if you do not like the color of some beads? Well I had tons of those plain white pearl style beads that I did not really like, So I changed them!

 

 I love to do hand stitching either on paper or fabric, or anything else I can think of. So I am working on some crazy quilt journal covers. I thought I would show you what I am doing on them, and show a bit about the stitches I am using, etc.
