Journal with Me~ Documenting with Ephemera from a Weekend Event

Hello, Owlettes. Hope everyone is doing great! We had a fun and busy weekend. One of the interesting things I did was part of the 50 before 51 goals, to see a live performance. I love anything artsy and this was a one-woman show with quilting stories. She played three different characters from women of the past. All stories had one thing in common, quilts. Of course, as a memory keeper, I am always looking for ephemera so I picked up a postcard and bookmark. In this video, I am documenting using this ephemera in my creative daily journal.

Thanks for watching, Rebecca

Making a Funky Junky Charm from Ephemera ~Using a Disposable Ice Cream Spoon

Hello Owlettes, I mentioned in my last video about taking a spoon from the Frozen Yogurt place and making it into a “Charm ephemera” I got the idea to collect “little things” and add them to make a journal to make a funky junky charm. The charm actually tells your story as well. When we were on our trip to Mississippi, we ate at a Frozen Yogurt Place called YAYA’s so I kept the spoon to add it to my journal. I punched a hole using my Crop-A-Dile, wrote the ice cream shop name and city, and tied it with a ribbon. I actually love how it turned out!

Thanks for watching!!! Stay Sparkly! Rebecca
