Text of the page (random words):
you can read either inside the magazine or via this 99p download from the making spot disclosure i don t get paid for this i m just pointing out another way you can access my work plus there are many more individual tutorials you can buy at the making spot see you tomorrow for my month in numbers and then on sunday when i ll announce the next set of communal count categories with new things for you to tally up during september but for now i think i ll let you go and find where you ve left your woolly tights you might well be needing them any day now julie posted by julie kirk at 11 45 2

snippets of words make it when you find it or else find a really good storage system hi hi if you re my mother you might want to skip this post otherwise your birthday is going to hold few surprises ok ok as for the rest of you well the thing is her birthday isn t for quite a while but i made the card just a few days ago and not because i m particularly efficient but because the opportunity occurred and i grabbed it which is really the point of this post because once again i m talking about using wording cut from books to decorate craft projects and when you re dealing with tiny lightweight one sneeze and it s gone strips of paper snipped free from a full page you re either going to have to find a good way to store them until you need them or get them safely stuck down before the next light breeze comes along whether you need it right then or not as i ve started needing to scour lots of snippets for another on going project i ve actually started to think of ways to securely store them while still making them easy for me to browse i can t face just tipping them all into a envelope where they d get all jumbled up so at the moment i m working on the idea of having layers of sheets of felt for all my free floating phrases nestled on top meaning hopefully the nap of the fabric will help keep them from flying away but i ll let you know how that goes when it s been tried and tested but failing that sometimes you just have to use those ideal snippets when you spot them before they sail away before you forget which page you saw it on before you accidentally pick it up on your cardigan sleeve and then deposit it somewhere random like inside your coat or tesco and so after making this card one of my 3djean design team projects for this month i spent quite a while browsing for an interesting phrase to use on it but only one stood out and it didn t really mean anything useful except except it just put me in mind of the kind of thing my mam and my grandma before her would think or say and while i hadn t originally intended for this to be her birthday card i just had to it was too perfect not to grab the opportunity and put the snippet to its perfect use for the record she s not in the habit of not coming home it s more of a free spirited kind of thing a bit hard to go into here so that s how browsing for a phrase for something anything very broad and non specific to finish off a generic card somehow became a very specific card for someone special but if like me you can t always turn the phrase into something special right there and then then like me you re going to also develop a grand collection of little plastic bags stuffed with perfect phrases in search of a project i hope my examples of snippets of words are inspiring you to give it a try they really can help to deliver some sneaky poetry an undiscovered story and an element of serendipity to your everyday crafting julie supplies from 3djean 12x12 lily bee designs papers lost

snapping i ve finally now found all 21 items on the summertime photography scavenger hunt list which was created by rinda of gallo organico and i thought that for my final item i d try something a bit different as soon as i read no 21 on rinda s list i knew i d have no trouble whatsoever in finding it because no 21 is a photograph of you with an artistic tool or craft supply from the start i knew i wanted to take a picture of me with my crafty weapon of choice my atg tape dispenser and from that starting point well something came over me and then everything went a little bit dirty harry after that anyway here s my final scavenged item of 2013 21 a photograph of you with an artistic tool or craft supply if you want to catch up with the original less crafty version you can find that here but be warned he doesn t overcome his enemy with glue tape thanks as always go to rinda for creating the list hosting the hunt and getting me to see my summer with new treasure seeking eyes just like last year i ve thoroughly enjoyed taking part roll on summer 2014 julie posted by julie kirk at 17 53 11 comments labels rinda ontiveros gallo organico summertime photography scavenger hunt atg gun craft

several of the cards i ve shared in the snippets of words series so far have been quite simple where the found phrase was one of the key focal points but today i thought i d show how they can be used as just one little element on a busy multi layered card this was another of my bit box plus cards where i take a focal point in this case it s a fashionable chap cut from an old book and then i just sift through my scraps and bits to find lots of colour co ordinating items to layer up behind him sits a section of recycled kraft cardboard from an envelope which a friend sent me something in an envelope which she d already recycled it she added the butterfly stamped image across it so really this is doubly recycled scrap and if whoever i send the card to then recycles it into another project this scrappy card could turn out to be immortal reincarnated indefinitely i ve also been making an effort this year to use up all the stickers i have lurking on years old half used sheets uh oh i feel another mini series coming on there are just some sentiments and phrases that i can t ever imagine myself needing to say and so i ve been using them simply for their colour this card features several tucked away under paper layers where just the useful turquoise shade can peep out likewise while i wanted to make use of the butterfly image below i hid the printed sentiment beneath a strip of woodgrain tape another perfect use for my ever expanding decorative tape collection and here s the snippet itself was chosen for the way it seemed to reflect the way butterflies flutter by twirling and twizzling across the sky as i ve said throughout this series you really can t go looking for the perfect phrase mainly because you probably don t know what that looks like but with an open mind and eagle eyes you can go looking for something and invariably the right phrase will find you if you d like to browse for the right phrase within some new to you vintage pages then drop by the shop have you seen the brand new range of sheet music packs yet there ll be some fun lyrics amongst them for you to pluck out and use on your projects and there s always a great collection of phrases inside the fiction themed mixed packs and if you want to take true spirit of surprise then a serendipity pack is the way to go these packs are sold unseen and could contain anything and if you haven t used my shop before you can always read through th e positive feedback my customers have left there and i hope it will answer some of the questions you might have about whether or not to try me out

facebook share to pinterest tuesday 20 august 2013 have you seen sven helbig s pocket symphonies hello hello whenever i m tired of hearing voices on the radio i switch over to listen to radio 3 a classical music station but as i m usually doing something else at the same time working web surfing falling asleep i rarely give it my undivided attention and so i m no big expert in fact i m not even a little expert but occasionally something demands my attention and insists i both listen carefully and that i try to remember the name of the composer and the title so i can make a note of it and that s just what happened a few weeks ago when i first heard a piece from sven helbig s pocket symphonies helbig describes the album as 12 little evening mood pictures 12 ways in which you reflect on your life or your day or whatever i had 12 different things in mind for what comes over me in the evening source and so it s appropriate that i first heard one of the tracks on the radio as we were driving home in the dark after an night out maybe that s why it grabbed my attention anyway apart from the fact that i ve enjoyed what i heard i thought i d share this with you for a few other reasons too in the reviews i ve read there s been a lot made of the fact that these are symphonic pieces but at the length of a pop song making them more...
