It's Wednesday! Welcome to Crafting With Jack and What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday, a day when we link up to Julia's Stamping Ground and have a look to see what everyone has been doing.
This is what I have been up to:
The book/journal on the left is a stacked spine, not yet finished, the one on the right is structurally finished, but not decorated. I have a stack of 12 x 12 paper and card. I had a good look through, picked out ones for painting over and picked out some to work with. So far for these two, I have used 4 document folders and 17 12 x 12 sheets card. Don't ask what they are for because I had using up card, more in mind. I think they will take up less space on the shelf in book form! For the one on the left I used Collall glue because I think it is strong enough and I wanted to use it up. the one on the right I used red tape and when I ran out white tape. They are both my own design. I think it will be easier the second time I do them.
As we still have my mother in law staying, I have been spending less time in my craft room. I think I will make a few more journals, Halloween and Christmas definitely.
Have a great crafty week x

Those journals are going to be awesome once you finish and decorate them. I would LOVE to see you make a Halloween journal, so I could get some ideas. Enjoy your time with your MIL. I am sure you both are having a lovely time together. Happy WOYWW from # 5.

Good morning, Angela
I know you have life interruptus at the moment but am glad you are making time for yourself. Do you have a youtube channel? I'd love to see that 'stacked spine' process. Creative Blessings ! ~ Kelly #19
Hi! Those folders are lovely, looks like a lot of work too! Looking forward to seeing them all finished and decorated! Have a great week, Lindart #20
Well, if spending less time in your craft room results in these lovely journals then I say spend less! These are fabulous Angela, I love it when I see a handmade book with a wide spine.

Sorry I'm so late visiting Angela 🤗 I loooove handmade journals 🤸⭐️💛 looking at yours in the making makes me so happy 😁 I can't wait to see them filled up with papers ❤️ happpy days! Wishing you so much joy in the week ahead with much love and hugs Tracy xxx #10 P.S Thank yooou so much for visiting❤️ Psssst I think yooou would love the course 😘 xxxx
I dig those journals. And your work space too!
Oh my goodness, got a bit involved with the end of the acrylics course and seem to have signed up for a watercolour one too (wed-fri) and what with the heat and not sleeping even worse that usual, I'm only just emerging form all the stuff and the dust is settling.
Loving the journals and a great way to use up your 12x12 sheets.

Wwll I’m full of admiration Angela. I wouldn’t get to my desk at all if I had any guest, o know you have your ‘a in law a lot and I expect you both like to have a break from her being a guest. I can’t think of a better way than a decompress at your desk! Those folders are amazing, more like clever fold books if you ask me. Like your choice of papers too, a great way to use up the ones that won’t otherwise work for you. Makes me feel that I should rifle through my collection a little more closely, I expect a good percentage of it has been passed over more than once when looking for actual scrapbook pages!
Hi Angela! Great idea for using up those 12 x 12s!! Like you I get focused on using up the stuff more than worrying about the end result but I think these are going to be wonderful. Sorry I'm so late, have a good week, love n hugs Cindy xx
ooh good focus and a way to use up some stash too, must admit, I too tend to use red tape and then run out too!
thanks for visiting my desk already
