#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 3 C

It's Day 3 of ABCApril2026, which means our prompt for today is the letter C. I have combined several 'Cs' in my project. I've used old credit cards, castle photos from my River Cruise trip, circles, and charms. 

The gorgeous paper I used for this one is a digital file by Sevenplaza. I also used one of the dangles I made in Mass Make March. I thought the charm with the two ladies was perfect for this as the River Cruise was my sister and I. 

I love making mini books from things I have on hand. These no-good cards were perfect for my C idea today.

We saw sooooo many castles. These few are all along the Moselle and Rhine Rivers. 

Maus Castle is called the "mouse" castle because it is smaller than the larger Katz "cats" Castle which was built by a feuding lord who wanted to show up the other guy. LOL

#abcapril2026, Day 2B - Birds

From another beautiful digital kit, these birds and background papers are by Tattered Paper Rose Co. on Etsy. Aren't they so lovely? There is so much more to this kit and I have been, and will continue to use it for some time. Highly recommend this seller.

 

A new month, and a new series!! #ABCApril2026

You may remember I participated in the abcapril2025 series, and I'm so glad that Toni and Margreth are doing this again this year. I am late posting Day 1A, but here you go anyway. I'll also post today's project as well in a separate post. 

Day 1 #abcapril2026, A - Arches

Tags with pictures I took when my sis and I took our River Cruise in November. So many arches in so many cathedrals and so many pictures!! Here are just a couple of them:

Another Junk Journal

Nothing special, just another junk journal. I needed to create something and this is what came of it. I started with a cracker box which I used for the covers. Nearly all the papers I used for this one are printable digital files purchased from Etsy sellers. There are some really beautiful designs and talented designers out there.

Front cover with lots of embellishments. Can you see the dangle pinned to the lace on the left? One of those I made in Mass Make March. 

I especially love this page. Maybe because Mr. Man here is so handsome. LOL Just kidding. 

Back side of the Mr. Man page is a fold out pocket which started as a junk mail envelope. 

Pocket page with tags

Another fold out envelope page.

but first, the little tag on the front is also a fold out.

The fold out page is another junk mail envelope pocket on the other side.

Pocket page with tag.

Large pocket page with tags. 

I added some blank kraft pages to the book for adding photos, journaling, artwork, or whatever. The page on the right is another fold out envelope pocket. 

The pocket page folded out. 

Back cover. I made this faux leather paper some time ago from a paper bag. I love the way it turned out. Do you think it has the look of leather? Very fun technique.

#massmakemarch2026, catch-up cont'd

Handmade faux postage stamps. I have this set of cool dies from Elizabeth Crafts which includes 4 different sizes of stamps, as well as some other pieces. They are so much fun to play with and I love the look of the actual torn edge, like a real stamp. Here are just a few I did the other day. They'll be fun to add to tags, journals, and cards.
