Look at the goodies I got from Jennings644 Have a look at Fiona's channel Hi folks.  Firstly just want to say thank you to everyone who has entered my Blog Candy.  If you havent entered yet, please see my blog candy post. Next I would like to show you all the goodies I bought from a friend Fiona Jennings.  I do not work for Fiona nor do I get any financial gain or items from mentioning her shop or channel.  I was lucky to come across her youtube channel and she is genuinely one of the most incredible and generous women Ive had the pleasure of dealing with.  And I think myself lucky enough to be able to call her a friend.  You may recall the journals I made from previous uploads on my blog here.  I made those journals for Fiona as gifts for her friends and the last journal was as a gift for her daughter Sadie as a birthday gift. She has an incredible youtube channel you can find here or do a search of youtube for Jennings644 .  She has an Zibbet store  too and if you d

Handmade Travel Journal with removeable charm Well, here it is.  A new journal Ive made.  As I said before I bookbind so this journal has been made from scratch.  Ive sewn all the pages together, made the covers etc.  Rather than using cardstock to make the cover, I used canvas.  I bought it on a roll and its great stuff.  So I decorated the canvas cover with glimmer mists, distress inks and then stamped some images and used printed images that are from The Graphic Fairy .  Its a fab site filled with gorgeous vintage images. The ribbon is tinted with my own hand made glimmer mist and as always the flowers are all hand made by me.  I made the charm as a bookmark but can be unclipped and put onto your mobile phone, handbag, luggage etc.  I showed it in a previous post. So here are the photos folks.  Any comments are greatly appreciated as always. My handmade flowers Beautiful Butterfly Name done on travel tags Book charm Book charm

Fiona Jennings has a Youtube channel under the name of Jennings644 .  I had previously made and sent her one of my handmade books.  And when she got it, she kindly asked me to make 3 books for her friends. These are the journals she requested.  She wanted 2 purple and 1 pink in a vintage style.  So hopefully Fiona and her friends will like them.  I did my best with the photos but unfortunately they don't do the books justice.  But see what you think.  Unfortunately the colours haven't come out perfectly either, the purples look more blueish in colour.....but they are purple, I promise Fiona!! These are all hand bound by me, signatures made, pages sewn, covers and spine made, books bound and decorated all by me!  Embellished with my handmade flowers except for the wee foam roses, I have yet to master those.....but give me time!!
