Art Journal Page-The Life Within The Seed

By Creating With Wendy -
Hello Everyone,
 A few years back I drew and made a flower girl paper doll. She was one of my first paper dolls and after going through my paper doll journal, I realised I hadn't added one of her to it. So this project is about adding my flower girl to my paper doll journal and using up some of the scrap BoBunny patterned papers I had left over from other projects.

What I used in this project:
*My Doll Art Journal
*A selection of BoBunny patterned papers
*Black Marker
*Pva glue OR glue stick
*A selection of Kaisercraft paints
*some buttons / decorations of your choice
*Flower stamps from my supplies
*Vintage Ink pad

I used a pattern of my flowergirl I drew a few years back. As seen below and I cut a couple of each piece from the left over BoBunny patterned papers. The papers are wonderful to mix and match together.




Once I had my individual pieces cut out I chose the ones I wanted to use to make my flower girl paper doll.



I gave the edges a dusting with a vintage ink and then use a permanent marker to line the edges. Then it was time to glue the pieces together bringing my flower girl paper doll to life. I drew her face on and added a few small buttons I had from my own supplies which were in the same pastel shades as the BoBunny papers.


 Once my flower girl was put together, I added some paints to my journal page and when happy with the background colours I glued my doll to the page. I used some white gesso to paint in some seeds, a shoot and a little bigger plant to the left side of where I glued my flower girl down.


I also used a small flower stamp to put a border around the journal page and then hand wrote this months title along the cut side of my page..."The Life Within The Seed". This layout shows how after planting a few seeds in the ground and letting them grow: it can turn into a beautiful Flower Girl Doll...heehee!

Below is the final page in my paper doll journal and I love the way it turned out. I really enjoy making paper dolls and I think this little one looks fabulous from using the BoBunny patterned paper range.


You can watch the full making of her in the video below:

FLOW-ISH JOURNALS are addictive!!

Recently I joined a swap at our Australian Art Swap Group on facebook where we had to put together a flow-ish Journal. I absolutely love putting these together as it gives me a chance to use up a lot of papers and items I have been hoarding. A flow-ish journal is based on the Flow magazines and books with the intent that everything inside can be pulled out and used by another person in their own art works or projects. Below are a few pictures and videos of me showing you through the ones I have put together. Once I start one, I seem to want to keep making them. Todate, I think I have put together at leadt five of these types of journals and sent them to friends and swap partners. This Flow-ish journal is the one I made for the swap. The cover was a real estate guide booklet and I decided to decorate it, to make it look a little prettier. It is full of patterned papers, die cuts, tissue paper, handmade envelopes and pockets filled with odds and ends, that I thought the recipient w

Each made holder can store eight ATC's.The base of the holder is made from cardstock I had in my own supplies and the pockets that hold the ATCs, I made from a manilla folder. The Base Cut your cardstock to 11" x 3". Then score at 2 1/2", 3 1/4", 7" and 7 3/4"/ Fold on score lines. The Pockets Cut your manilla folder to 6" x 4". You will need to cut and make eight pockets. Score with long side up at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2". Then turn once with short side up and score at 1/2". Fold along score lines. Cut the small square off the bottom corner and then cut from 2 3/4 score line to edge, taking off  the long 1/2" panel. Use your double sided Ranger LetterIT tape and place on the botton flap and the side flap. Fold over score lines to make your pocket. I used a 1"

Hello Everyone, Today I was still in the mood to play with the wonderful paper from Photo Play and wanted to do a project that was fun, easy and quick. I searched Pinterest for a free downloadable  heart box  template and was quite surprised to find one straight off the bat. What you will need for this cute heart treat box: *a free printable from pinterest *a cropodile *Blazing Red Stazon ink *Photo Play Crazy for you paper *Elements sticker sheet called Wild Love *double sided tape *some thread or twine for decoration *small brads to attach handles *small piece of cheese cloth or fabric  Then I used the template to cut the shape from The Photo Play 'Crazy for you' paper and folded the paper on the marked fold lines and that gave the shape of the heart box. I inked the edges of the heart box shape with the Stazon Blazing Red Ink and was now ready to decorate the front and back of the heart. I decorated the heart shapes before I folded and adhered the box togethe
