Junk Journal Finished And For Sale

November 28th, 2021 by Shirl - Posted in Journaling, Junk Journal, YouTube

Love every journal I make and this is one is no exception but every time I make a journal I want to keep it. So I have made the decision that it is time to start selling them starting with this gorgeous make.

There are three signatures in the journal with lots of lace added to the pages and images printed onto fabric.

Some hidden paperclip bookmarks have been added to a few of the pages. Also in the journal is some stamping onto fabric and a few of the pages have stencilling on them.

If you would like to purchase this album please email: shirley@shirlsartwork.com

This Journal Was Nearly Two Years In The Making

January 26th, 2021 by Shirl - Posted in YouTube

Today’s journal is one which I started nearly two years ago it was April 2019. Below is a video I made showing at least 10 journals which I started but haven’t finished. Guess what this is the year they will be finished and at least one of them will be a giveaway for some lucky person. Which one it will be I am not sure but keep looking as it might even be the Alice in Wonderland journal coming next.
