More pages from my Black&Kraft journal.  I've prepared a tutorial on Constructing and DeConstructing cardboard as a journal for Stampington's blog.  See that HERE.  It's a companion to my column in the recent Somerset Studio.  In the right sidebar albums you can see more of my cardboard journal pages.  (If you're reading through a feed, click HERE for the album).  I need to get it updated, but there is alot to see there.  Sneak peek below of some stencils that will debut soon 😉

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!  I had a terrific week of celebrating – a good start to a year of being 50!  And the roses are now in full bloom – hundreds of them came out this week.  I'm a lucky girl. 

Only six weeks until CREATE NJ kicks off!  I'm preparing lots of stuff for the workshops and vendor night.  Hope to see you there!!

    When I turned fifty – I changed my email signature line to “Life after 50 positively sparkles!” and wow did it!
    The best ten years of my life up to when I turned 60, two years ago and life is still plenty sparkly! Have a blast! Love the cardboard article – the red, black and white are even more classic on the kraft. Simply brilliant!

    I so want to know your secret for getting the cardboard peel aways to look so neat! I have been lucky to find ONE small piece of cardboard that tears clean (no little wisps left behind at all!) But do you have a secret to it? Or just go slow and then take the time to peel the ‘wisps’ off? I would love to know … I am obsessed with your work using cardboard, lol.

    I assumed and I would LOVE to take your class. But I cant! I dont live close enough lol. Are you going to release a book … or even better an online class or pdf to reveal the secret? I know several people who want to know also and would pay for the class or ebook. Please??!?!?

    Ohhh the memories of the Debris Journal workshop! I absolutely love your Maltese cross pages in particular, but that’s probably no surprise coming from me 🙂 I see you’ve found an alternative to the contact cement/tyvek binding. Great idea, and I think I might get some and play with all kinds of applications and projects. Really wish I was going to be able to come to Create this year. I will miss you and your teaching!

    Carrie – I will miss you this year too! Yes, duh! Figured out a better way to bind the journals. That’s what happens when you keep at it…the answer reveals itself.
