As much as I love Winter for its own particular beauty, my first love lies in the sights and sounds of the warmer seasons. Here's the latest set of bird and botanical embellishments and nature journals I've created to celebrate them. Next on my to-do list is a tree journal featuring Familiar Trees, so I hope to share that with you soon. In the meantime stay crafty, Debbie xo

I recently made a few videos to show some embellishments I was creating for a nature journal I'm working on.  First I made page tab clusters and my main goal was to incorporate some pressed leaves into the project.  Next, I wanted to recycle some packaging and clothing tags into pockets and tuck spots.  I really enjoy the process of gathering items and making them work together. I hope you're inspired to try these out! Debbie xo

This summer, I'm doing a Q & A series to answer some of your most frequently asked questions about making journals.  The first one addresses the types of glues I like to use. I've tried many over the years and have settled on these at this time because they work best for the types of journals I make.  Debbie xo

If you enjoy using printable journal kits and sometimes would like to print them to fit inside an existing book cover, this tutorial is for you. It's for Photoshop Elements which I know many people have but don't use. It's the most basic method for resizing without being too concerned for maintaining the aspect ratio of the original image.   I hope it helps you make better use of your printables! Debbie xo
