I'm currently putting together the insides of my fabulous scrappy journal for Mary Ann Moss's class, Remains of the Day. This is just exactly the kind of thing I like to do! How about a few photos?
Lots of secret pockets and bits that unfold.
Below is one of my favorite unfolding elements:
I have managed to use so many bits and pieces. Above, you can see some samples from my Technique-a-Palooza class. Below, you can see a transparency I printed (in error) for a page I made years ago. I finally managed to use it! Hooray!
Above is part of the brochure that came in my Studio Calico kit.
Below is a piece of hand painted paper that I've had kicking around for about four years.
Below is a photo of several of the pages stacked together. I love all of those funky edges!
I can't wait to finish my pages, finish the book and start filling it with lovely memories!
Thanks for stopping by!

What a cool book you are making! LOVE IT! All the bits and pieces are so cool!

Amazing use of scrappy bits and pieces! I especially like the use of the envelope window and the strip of butterflys.

Oh, Julie, your projects are ever so beautiful! They are “eye candy,” indeed. You have a God-given talent!
Thanks also for responding to my questions/comments. I am impressed that you truly care about the people you’re inspiring.
Recently, I have been to scrapbooking stores, and I am finding that artists are reluctant to share their tips and secrets. So, how can beginners (like me) ever advance in this fun hobby?
This is why I am happy to have discovered your blog and techniques on Scrapbook Memories TV. I send you my heartfelt thanks for everything you share!

LOVE your pretty, pretty pages! I’m so in love with the huge stack I managed to make this week that I couldn’t bear to be away from them as we visited with family over the holidays so I brought them all with me! I even started journaling on the loose pages–I couldn’t resist! In fact, I’m scheming how I can get away from the crowd for a little journaling retreat–thank goodness I have a family that understands my weirdness and accepts me anyway 😉 Have a great Christmas!
