Be Handmade

Be Handmade I have a love, actually an obsession for paper and old vintage books! I put those together to produce one of a kind journals.

I also make greetings cards and other paper related art. Let me know if I can make a journal for you! 4-6weeks notice needed

Adding the final touches to my Jane Austen journal.
Anyone watched the new Miss Austen series?! I just binged it and loved it, especially the cast and seeing the locations!
This will be for sale soon!

Decided to start a Jane Austen inspired journal, seeing as she celebrates 250 years!
Maybe make a pot of tea while I’m working. 😍

Tonight's fun.
I had cut up an old book about Victorians a while back and now these wonderful people have become Polaroids!
I will add these to journals or maybe sell them in packs?

Trying (my patience with) weaving, will use these for backings on cards or maybe pockets in journals. Who knows, I just like cutting and gluing sometimes! πŸ€ͺ

Hello! It's been a while since I posted anything but I'm still at it!!
Today is mini document folders mass making thanks to my undiagnosed ADHD! They can be filled with ephemera or secret stuff!

I am also working on teen and adult junk journal classes!!

Stay tuned!

I'm lucky enough to be on my holibobs (vacation!) this week and while the hubby is off riding the trails I am crafting. I am turning this lovely old book into something new but had to laugh at what I found inside!
My nickname in school was Frog. πŸ˜‚πŸΈ

Lots of new, unique journals are now at the studio!
Some are just pages for you to create on and some are chock full of pockets, tuck spots and ephemera!!

Just know that every time I make one it's totally unique and I put a lot of love and many hours into it! 😍

I especially love the little vintage postcard ones, I have a huge collection and decided I needed to actually use them, some are from the 1940's and earlier with stamps and messages!

I take custom orders too! They make amazing gifts.

These beauties will be heading to Vintage Etcetera - A Needful Things Market on Friday morning!!!

Trust me, I'm a paper/book hoarder so they take a lot of time to put together as I have to say goodbye to each piece and wrench it from my hands into the pile. 🀣🀣🀣 I hope you have fun using all the amazing papers and ephemera.
