Let's Make A Journal From A Pretty Purse Part 1

Nigezza Creates aka Gez


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

I bought this lovely purse from a charity shop and thought it would make a lovely journal cover. So that is what I have done. It is a one signature journal a little smaller than a travellers notebook. In the video you see me taking out the insides of the purse, linin git with this lovely paper and creating the signature. I will bring you another part where I make the tags and decorate the pockets and add journalling space.

Quick Tip Making Master Boards To Scan & Reuse

Nigezza Creates aka Gez


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

I am here with another quick tip Friday. This week I am making a masterboard that can be scanned and used again and again. I then add ink and scan again to create lots of different masterboards. I have put some of the scanned masterboards on my Ko-Fi page.
