I make Junk Journals | Journal release number 1
One of the things I really love when it comes to paper crafts and making is creating notebooks in different forms. I make all kinds of journals, for myself and for sale. I used to sell via Etsy, but ended my affair with them last year. So this year it is finally time to experiment […]
Art Journal Peek: This book is for you Hanna

Nido Qubein I think that this might be one of my all-time favorite Art Journals, it’s the altered book called Boken till dig (the book for you).

Art Journal Peek: In the name of Self-Love
Art journaling in an altered book. And my theme is me, me, and I, Hanna. If I had a daughter I might have dedicated it to her, but probably not. Even with kids my life would probably be ego-inducing and self-centered. It’s a known fact that we are all the center of our own lives, […]
Getting the Vintage Look
We see it in Art Journaling, notebooks, art and sometimes even on Bullet Journal spreads… It is the look of something newly created that looks one hundred years old or more.

Painting outside the lines | process video
