#jj3under30 - with a twist

For today's project we combined all three makes into one piece. I love how it turned out. Toni's genius shines through with every project! Take a look.

First we made the acetate-tuck journaling spot for the front cover.


Second, we made the tag-folder portion, which is basically the main piece as it holds everything.

And for the third 3 in 30, we made the file folder, which is also a pocket.


Again, using what we have previously made in Mass Make March and maybe ABC April (I'd have to look that up to be sure), it makes these 30 minute projects a breeze. Having a drawer full of pre-made ephemera, clusters, tags and tabs is an awesome way to create when you are pressed for time. Or have all day, even!

#jj3under30 - Pocket tags

This project was really fun. I used a digital kit from Margareth of Seven Plaza and followed along with Crafty By Toni to create these great pocket tags. I love makes that allow you to use previously made ephemera and/or embellishments you have made that are just waiting for the right project. The tickets and tag tags are two of the makes that we did in Mass Make March, and I love how they are perfect for these pocket tags.

#jj3under30 Long page tabs

I'm such a slacker. I have had the hardest time with this month's 3 under 30 challenge but I'm trying! Because I have always been a pretty slow crafter, this under 30 minutes things is tough. And then we need to make 3 things not just 1. Sigh. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining! I love crafty challenges, so here is my attempt today's project. I cannot tell a lie, I did not finish these in under 30 minutes...it was actually closer to 40. Oh well. 

They turned out okay, I guess. What do you think? 
Focal points of each tab:
Butterfly digitals by Art House Whimsy. You can find her on Etsy. She designs beautiful images!

Thanks for looking.

Mini flip journal

Today I'm sharing another gorgeous design by i.daizee (tutorial here). If you don't follow her you tube channel and Insta yet, you are totally missing out. I love her beautiful makes, and this one is no exception. Can you even!? Plus, this one is made from one sheet of 12x12 double sided paper. Amazing. Check it out below. 

Finished measurement approximately 6.5 x 4 inches
I love making projects where I can add from my pre-made stash of tabs, tags, tucks, ephemera and embellishments. This one has a lot of space for them. 
For the book itself, and much of the tucks, tags and pockets, I used Heidi Swapp paper from the latest release, Atlas Collection. Most of the travel related stamps are also from my Heidi Swapp stash. 
Here we have a hidden paper clip and a full page-length pocket. 


I really had fun with this ID tag. Stamps are mostly from Crafty by Toni. Her Identity Card stamp set is so much fun!

Another tall pocket, and a large page pocket. Lots of space for journaling and photos in this little book. 
Back cover.

Junk Journal 3 in 30 challenge

#jj3under30 - This challenge is the hardest one I think I've tried. I am a notoriously slow crafter (well, notorious in my mind anyway LOL) so trying to complete 3 projects in 30 minutes is extremely intimidating!! BUT I actually did it. Once. We'll see if I can come up with something to do 3 in 30 again before the end of the month. 

For my project, I made 3 mini-paper bag pockets. I used these corrugated cardboard clusters we made a few weeks ago as the covers for the pockets.
