Incorporating Pre-Made Embellishments

Play Along Journal Series Week 8 Part 1

 
 
 

I like to make elements ahead of time and have embellishments on hand like tags, stitched elements, or whatever it may be to help me stay in a creative mindset rather than having to stop and think of different elements to bring into my art while I am in the middle of creating.

One of my favorite techniques to incorporate unexpected interest into my pages is by adding pockets. I usually create these pockets before binding the journal together, and they provide a fun element to play with. For this, I had already pre-made a tag that tied this entire spread together!
