'Warm Wishes' Mixed Media Card

Hi guys!
 
I was asked to make up a  sample for my local scrapbook store using a few of my the new Prima card size doll stamps by Julie Nutting. I thought I would film the process for you.

Week 12 of The Documented Life Project and Week 11 of Journal 52 Combined

Week 9 of Documented Life Page

Hey everyone!

I finished my week 9 page for The Documented Life Project this week. The prompt for week 9 was 'Something you Recycled'. In keeping with that theme, I used several elements that would normally have been thrown out. I got a new shelf for my studio so I used a part of the box and also the tissue paper the shelf was wrapped in. I also used some broken buttons and a paper grocery bag.
