I finished another double page spread in my Christmas glue book!
Shiny is hard to capture on camera, but these red stars were punched from a Colgate Optics box. Trash to Treasure!

Two small finishes equals a big one
Finish #1: I drove us home from Charlotte. Finish #2 I sorted all the magazines and catalogs in the den. I was looking for Christmas issues and found this gem:
Some of the ideas in this issue were very dated, and it took me a while to find a date of publication. 2003. I still like this idea, though:
I just realized I had another finish. I got some ribbon yarn in the mail to Patricia Carmichael (PMartist Studio) to use in her current mixed media project. I wish I’d had enough sense to take a photograph!

I finished another one!
It’s hard to catch sparkle on camera, but this silver washi tape is dazzling! I almost forgot about my tapes.

Harvesting
That’s what it’s called when you cut or tear out images from a magazine, print catalog or printed packaging.
Fussy cutting is what it’s called when you cut out the fine detail from a printed image.
The resulting images are called fussy cuts.
When you glue a bunch of images in a book, collage style, its called a glue book. I’ve been saving little real estate booklets to make my future glue books.
If you harvest your junk mail and use those images and fussy cuts in a glue book that also has room to write, you’ve made a junk journal.
The best job of harvesting I’ve done (though I did a great job of gutting that vanilla wafers box, above) was a Little Debbie’s snack cake box.
I’ve used pieces of it on a Christmas journal, front and back.
I have some beautiful pages printed, along with some family photos. I want my journals to be photo journals, like mini handmade scrapbooks. When I finish this one, I’ll share it here.
Today, I finished harvesting a 2021 Fresh Finds Catalog.
There are only a few pages left intact. I wish they were still publishing this catalog, because it was chock full of Christmas images.
This is from where the candy cane box, pictured above, came. Day 24, #the100dayproject2024, #fixand finish
