Welcome to Rednesday! I hope you ladies enjoyed your Mothers Day.
Remember about a month ago I showed this photo on Rednesday, about a craft I was working on? Well, I finished it!
I made a Paper Bag Journal! Becky Schultea of Just Bee'n Me had posted one she made for Valentine's Day, using her own artwork (see it, and instructions, here). So I purchased her Valentine Variety Pack at the Aimee Asher Printable and Digital Crafting Mall.
I had decided to make a Spring journal instead of Valentine, and here it is! (Right-click on images to see larger size.)
It took me a long time to make this because I did it in bits and pieces, not all at once. I had used as many images from the pack as I wanted, then browsed her blog for a few others. That's when I noticed that she had made a new set called Sweet Spring Stitches (also at Aimee Asher), so I ordered that immediately! There were many pinks in this set and I darkened a lot of the pinks to reds as a personal preference.
I had so much fun making this that I want to try making another one, maybe during the summer when it's too hot to be out in the garden! Becky has also made a Mothers Day Journal using her Spring set, brown and white lunch bags, and put a beaded handle on it to make it look like a purse! It's so pretty, you can view it here.
Don't forget to check out my yesterday's post regarding the Initially Yours craft swap!

Sue, you did a marvelous job on that brown bag journal. I would never have thought of such a thing. Wonder why I was born without a "thinker'.
Wow Sue - I LOVE what you did with the kit(s)!! So cute!! Thank you so much for the sweet shout out on your blog today...I'm honored! Thanks so much for sharing...I very rarely get to see what wonderful creative things people do with the kits, so I was so blessed to see this!!
Hugs & Blessings!
Becky

The paper bag journal is too charming. Love that you took your time and got it so perfect.
Just discovered your blog, it's so cute! I'm in Conn., so we must be close by if you are a NE Blogger. I have a lot of RED in my house... I should join your Rednesday Party one day! Nice meeting you.
Best,
Gloria
P.S. I am your newest Follower. ;)
What a cute project. It looks like it would make for simple crafts for grand kids as well as seniors including our crafty parents. My senior mom loves to make pictures for the grandkids, when she's not busy gardening. I'll have to check it out closer for her as well as the grands. Thanks for the lovely pictures and fun Rednesday!
Eeeks! It's adorable! Great job! ♥
