Good morning, Joan. This is so pretty and tropical. I like how you decoupaged the napkin on your beautiful gelli print. Are you still having the heat wave? We still are, but later this week we are forecast to have some cooler nights, which will be a great relief. Stay cool, my friend. Wishing you a blessed day. Hugs, Kitty.
Oh, I love the time cards, Joan. We don't have Dollar Tree here, just Dollarama and Great Canadian Dollar Store but I always look for time cards at the thrift shops. Your tag pockets look amazing, I love them. My favourites are the flowers, the girls, and the kitties. So sorry you lost your first video; that must be so frustrating. Great video and I'm adding it to my pockets playlist. Wishing you a blessed day. Hugs, Kitty
Thank you so much. I got those girl stickers in some happy mail. I'm going to have to find out where she got them and put them on my wish list for more. Would you like me to stick a few time cards in your package that I'm putting together for you? There is a blessing/good side to losing that video, I now have nine (9) of those pockets done lol. Hope you are having a wonderful day. ☺♥
@@Fit_Kitty Oh goodie. I'm so looking forward to it. I put aside a few of the cards for you. Your happy mail will end up being a little parcel because of the extras so I will have to go to the PO with it.
That's wonderful, Joan. Please try to keep it as flat as possible or even split into 2 envelopes as Canada Post's prices are very, very high. Those were the suggestions I was given by the postmaster recently but I already had my packages completed. I am excited about your package and look forward to receiving it, no rush of course. So sorry mine took so long but I've been struggling lately with my health. Hugs, blessings, and happy Wednesday.
Awe thank you. This is the last kitty one (well for a while). I'm trying to find another cat die cut and/or maybe flowers on long stems would be lovely to play with. Hope you have a lovely day ☺♥
So adorable and cute, Joan. The kittens are my favourites of the die-cuts, just precious. I never tire of seeing cat art. You are making great use of your new cat dies and your gelli prints. Halfway through the month already, way to go. Blessings to you. Hugs, Kitty.
Thank you so much Kitty. I really love these cat dies. This one was going to be my last cat one, but then I found some card stock that would make some more lovely cats lol. Maybe in the future I will do a few more. If not, then when I get back to my rolodex cards :D Wow, a month is a lot easier than 100 days, But, I don't think I will do 2 month challenges at the same time again Good night. Good day ☺♥
Thank you. One more to go. I wish I had other animal die cuts, like maybe horses. Or maybe long slender flowers. I will have to put them on my wish list. Have a wonderful evening. ☺♥
So cute and fun, Joan. The kitties also looked precious on the book page as you were applying the glue stick, so there is an idea for using the kitties next time when you're not limited to the gelli prints. Adorable sentiment too. Wishing you a wonderful day. Stay cool. We're still having the heat wave here.
Thank you Kitty. Yes, that black on the browning book page does look nice, thank you for the idea. I love to incorporate book pages like that in my journals. I see another project coming up. Today is a cooler day so I think I will do some house cleaning as it's supposed to get hot again starting tmrw. Stay cool and have a blessed Sunday ☺♥
Thank you. I'm so happy I have a few followers that love kitty cats as the next 3 days (at least LOL ) of this challenge will have them. I'm really loving these dies. ☺♥
I have used some on journal pockets and the green flat lace from the first video (?) as a curtain on a window in my Junk Journal July 2024 page yesterday. I plan on using much more on more tags and journal cards etc etc in the near future. Have a nice evening ☺♥
Thank you. LOL I just love all of those laces that she gave me also. I'm going to have loads of fun with them for a while. Hope you are having a wonderful day ☺♥
Thank you. I loved how the window, observe and wildlife page all fit together. I'm going to have to incorporate that into another journal sometimes. Have a wonderful weekend ☺♥
Omgoodness, gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. I just don't know how you don't just open all those boxes in 1 video. I wouldn't be able to do it. Have a fabulous day. Sending big hugs Sherry ❤
I open and record about 3 boxes at once, but upload them separately, on for each Saturday until done so it won't be one long video for everyone. Plus my cell ph wouldn't be able to handle it either. I've already used some stuff from the upcoming boxes. Wait until you see the other boxes lol. I am so blessed and I know it. Have a wonderful day. ☺♥
First, the box! Wow! Then all of the beautiful lace. Wow again! Your joy and enthusiasm are contagious, Joan. You were blessed by Brenda in a big way, and I am excited to see in the weeks ahead what else she blessed you with. Have fun with all of your new goodies! Hugs, Kitty.
Thank you. I am having fun dabbling into some of the goodies already. I hope what I have plans for with the yellow lace will work. I might try it out today if I have what I need for it printed out. ☺♥
I believe in saving trees a little bit at a time. Love my scraps as there are no wrong ways to use them. Use scissors mostly but sometimes my small paper trimmer🇨🇦
Thank you, how right you are. There is no wrong way to use them ♥ I love how you put that. If the pieces are small small, then I will use my scissors, but for any length like this project, out comes my cutter lol. Have a wonderful day ☺♥
So cute, Joan. Who loves cats? I do, I do. This is such a cute little scene. The gelli background is lovely and I like how you made the wooden fence. Blessings and hugs to you, my friend.
Good morning Kitty. Thank you so much. LOL I knew you would love this one. I have a couple more ideas with these kitties. Some are even small enough for my rolodex cards later. Have a wonderful weekend ☺♥
Good morning, Joan. Great idea to combine some of the prompts. My favourite is the window with the lace curtain, which you turned into the zoo for the ladies, so cute. Wishing you a blessed and happy weekend. Hugs, Kitty.
Thank you Kitty. I just love it when things work out like that window. I love when pages in a journal all flow together somehow. I will be working on more pages tmrw. I would do 2 of the gelli print postcards in a video, but one of the rules is only one a day. May you have a wonderfully blessed day. ☺♥
Thank you. I had fun making this gel print so much I made about 7 or 8 and then got my sis making them too lol. It is 1 pm now and only just had to turn on window ac Going to edit a video for this afternoon. Have a blessed day. ☺♥
Christmas has always been my favorite time of year! Love the base of your postcard, the design and colors. Great embellishments too. Have a blessed day. 💜💜💜
Thank you so much. I put a couple of the pages of that book aside for you. Not all pages are written like that though 😢 I do however, have some other pages of other books I'm sure you will like. Have a wonderfully blessed day ☺♥
Thank you. I never loose my pin now . Here is the full YT video, just under 13 minutes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iIsrOalseO8.html Have a beautiful day. ☺♥
It's funny how we associate eggs with Easter. What do eggs have to do with Jesus's resurrection anyway? Something to ponder. Your pockets turned out so cute. I remember really wanting these egg dies years ago and then after I bought them I never used them. Still haven't used them, hanging my head in shame. You made some fun inspiration for these dies. Love the added lace and bows. Blessings and hugs, Kitty.
I know right?! The only thing that I can think of is "New birth"?!?! I am happy to have inspired you. What kind of egg dies did you get? Ones like these or ones to color the eggs? If ones like these, I hope you try these pockets out. Have a wonderfully blessed day my friend ☺♥
Hi, Joan. The egg dies were a set of nesting dies like yours and I am sure I still have them somewhere. The pockets are a cute idea to inspire me to use them. So many ideas but not enough time or energy LOL. Wishing you a blessed weekend, my friend.
@@Fit_Kitty Sending you hugs and prayers that you will find energy and feel better soon. With this heat I have been struggling. I really should have a good video up tmrw (today) other that the one postcard. Even if you get the dies out, say in the morning, get some papers out in the afternoon, cut them the next morning, get out ribbon/lace/flowers etc next day then day after glue all together, you are still crafting. Just remember not to over do yourself sweetie. I think I will go watch tv now for about an hr and then listen to some scripture before bed. Blessings. Good day and good night. ☺♥
@@JoansJunkJournalsAndMore That's exactly what I do, Joan, and I eventually get things made. I haven't been able to craft every day for quite a while, so the problem is, if I don't make some kind of notes ahead of time, then I forget what I was making by the time I get back to it. I have done that way too many times, so now I'm trying make a mock layout of what I was planning and then it comes together much easier. I've had to adapt over the years. Whatever works, right! Stay cool; I'm already looking forward to fall LOL. Hugs, Kitty.
@@Fit_Kitty I'm so happy you haven't quit. Some people would just quit. I will always keep crafting even if it is only a little at a time. Crafting is what keeps me going, And God, of course. Speaking of Him, I fell asleep last night listening to scriptures. Thankfully it is cooler today, but I don't want fall to arrive for a long time yet. Have a wonderfully blessed weekend ☺♥
Good morning, Joan. Love your die-cut frame, so pretty. Your gelli print background is gorgeous, and the photo you chose is perfect for bravery. I love how this postcard turned out. Wishing you a joyful day filled with blessings of all kinds. Hugs, Kitty.
Thank you so much. The die cut was one that Kim sent me with the Big Kick and the background once again I did while at my sisters. I need some of the goodies she has for making gelli prints. I wasn't going to add words to this one, but then I saw the saying on bravery and thought how fitting. These postcards are easier to do because of the size I have more choice on what to put on them, but I still look forward to getting those rolodex cards done after this (gradually ) Have yourself a wonderfully blessed day and stay cool. ☺♥
