Hi everyone, Ingrid here to show you Alison's newest stamps designed for PaperArtsy. I hope you will find some inspiration here today.  

Have you ever found yourself browsing Pinterest to find the right quote for your journaling or a card? I have, many times! So when Alison put together two whole sets of beautifully meaningful quotes, I got all excited. I don't have to search high and low for the right motto anymore. I can pick one and create around it or the other way around. Thanks, Alison! :) 

I am terribly indecisive when it comes to picking art supplies sometimes and I hate to 'procraftinate'. I was having a really hard time to pick just one so I decided to use them all! I think I only left one behind in the end as it didn't fit on the pocket, but I will find a right project for that one ;) 

For this post, I created a simple and colourful...  

Pocket Journal

I knew I wanted to make one, but I wasn't sure exactly how. So I started exploring the idea further and, whilst rummaging through my supplies, came across a bunch of paper CD covers that I once received by mistake. I was supposed to receive the sturdy clear ones to use them for the pesky little dies that after a use or two start falling out of their original packaging. I hate throwing things away so I stashed it knowing they would be useful one day. Today is the day! 

I had a great messy fun using a whole bunch of the gorgeous Fresco Finish Chalk Paints on my Gelli Plate. I tried to keep it fairly simple but colourful. Using Gelli Plate is a great exercise for those who have a problem 'letting go' and overthinking it when creating. Fear not... You're not alone! I do have to laugh when my palette paper ends up looking better than what I am working on :D 

In case you wonder, I used a bunch of other stamps from Paperartsy, such as EEV05 by Ellen Vargo, ELB31, ELB34 by Lin Brown as well as the stencils by Kim Dellow. Once again, I tried to go with the flow and was not looking for perfection. I was going for a more distressed look. 

I wanted Alison's stamps to pop so I went for a white for contrast and a bit of sponging with dark brown ink did the trick. Gluing two of the pockets together and adding paint to them made them sturdy after all. It also meant that I have two pockets on each side of the pages. I might use them for smaller dies after all and be reminded of the beautiful quotes each time I list through them. Or I might store some die cuts in the pockets... 

Let me know your thoughts of what you would use it for in the comments below. I shall look forward to hearing from you. I also hope you can buy Alison's stamp sets to try them and create something for yourself. 

Stay creative! Hugs
