LIVE - Art Journal Page using the 'blind3' Method

 Hi guys!

Another blind3 challenge today. This time we chose alcohol inks, which is a good thing because I'm starting to use a lot of product that has just been sitting around. The three colours I chose were Rust, Pebble and Wild Plum. To say I was amazed at the result is an understatement. I didn't think a page could have so much depth to it until I saw the final result of this page today!

I had Eileen with me again today making sure I didn't 'stuff it up' LOL.

Creating Temporary Planner Inserts

Hi everyone!

Making a couple of one-signature planner inserts for my diary which can be put in my handbag and transported around to be used to jot down notes for later when I'm ready to work on my Daily Journal.

I'm not one to be able to work on my daily journal/planner every day and when I'm ready to sit down and work in it - I've forgotten what I needed to insert and when it happened! So this is why I created this 'temporary' journal insert which I designed to fit into an old diary (2016). I'll jot down things in this and date them for when I have a few hours to sit down and put it all into my daily journal/planner in a way that it looks nice and pretty. Well, that's the plan lol.

You can watch the full process video over on my YouTube channel by clicking here.

Products Used:

Printer paper

Papers already in my stash

Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue

Paper Piercer

Ruler

Pencil

Paper Trimmer

Old diary

Seam Binding

Twine

Binding needle

All the above products/tools I had in my stash!

The sizes I used would be different to yours so just use the video as a guide when creating your own journal inserts.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
