Xmas Journal

Yesterday I was reading the blogs (listed in my Daily Read page) and I decided to start puttig together the Xmas Journal.

It was Elise who encouraged me to do it, I watch her video and I think she is very inspiring and you can tell that she loves what she does.

Well, I don't have a mini book like hers but I have a journal I made almost a year ago and I'm going to use it. The pages are white pages of different sizes and some of them with lines or squares, just regular paper from old notebooks.

These are the pictures of the pages I have completed:

I will work on the front page when I finish the journal. I think I will embroider it. Any other suggestions?

Back to school

When I hear those three words, I can't help getting nervous. I think it's exciting in some way: new teachers, new school bag, new notebooks, new class, new books... everything is new! Is there something more exciting than using new stuff? I just love that word and hearing it makes me shiver of excitement.

However, for me to get to start saying "my new whatever", I have to pass my Ús Comparat exam on wednesday. I know some classmates started studying in July but I don't think that subject is such a difficult one to be studying for two months. My only problem is the spelling and, yes, I've been working on it my way: reading a lot in catalan. And now it's when I study all the theory. I think I'll do good. I'm confident.

Anyway, going back to the new stuff. If any of you wants to have a new notebook with your name or the name of the subject you're gonna use it for, let me know and I'll make one for you. You can contact me by email or by facebook and have a unique notebook like the one I made for myself, can you guess the subject I used it for?


Have a nice monday!

A new Journal

I'm not really busy these days so I take my time to finish projects. This is the last one I've finished: a journal.
I have started to make some others that I think I'll finished next week, and then I'll show them to you.

A lot of people is encouraging me to have my own online shop and I have to say that I'm thinking about it. It isn't a bad idea. I have no job right now so it could be a good way to earn some money. Thinking, thinking, seriously thinking about it.

Have a nice thursday!

More Notebooks

I have been very busy lately, but I have had time to make some notebooks for my friends. I was so excited when I was making them that I forgot to take a picture of each one separately. Instead of that, I have this one:
I gave them the notebooks during a dinner in an asiatic-mediterranean restaurant which I highly recommend: Wagaboo. It is located in C/ Valencia (with C/Pau Claris) in Barcelona.

A few days ago I also made these two (and some others that I also forgot to take a picture of):

I have also attend a class with Kelly Purkey about creating layouts but I haven't practised using the ideas and sketches that she gave us. So... That's all for now!

Happy Easter everyone!

New things!

It's been a long time since I last post something! I have been extremely busy with all the papers I have had to write for the school. But, between paper and paper, I have found some time to create.

The first thing I want to show you is the first notebook I have made with my new "Bind-It-All" that my sister gave me for Christmas. I needed a notebook for my Français class so I made it myself instead of buying it. This is the result:

The next I made was a card for St. Valentine's Day and a 2010 calendar that I have already send to V. He is going to received by the 13th so I'll upload the picture when he receives it, ok? And I hope he doesn't read this post :S

The last things I have made are another notebook, a rolled pencil case and a birthday card, all for my friend Cristina whose birthday was on February 1st. I gave it to her yesterday and I think she loved everything, right, Cristina?(paper from Basic Grey's Nook and Pantry collection)

(papers from Basic Grey's Nook and Pantry collection, Martha Steward and American Crafts cardstock)

This are all my new creations. Some friends say that I should make more stuff and sell it in some shops in Barcelona but I'm not too sure about it... What do you think?

Have a nice week!

La vuelta al cole!

Libreta!

Actualizo rápido, rápido, porque me tengo que ir a trabajaaar!

Los cursos que hago no son en vano, les saco provecho... me he hecho una libreta! Será mi wedding-libreta, escribiré ideas, engancharé fotos, anotaré teléfonos y direcciones de mil sitios...

Aquí está:



La he forrado con una sábana antigua, que no es lo mismo que vieja (esta sábana no estaba usada, se compró y la guardaron). Tiene unos bordados muy bonitos que utilizaré próximamente... El cosido que he utilizado es el más sencillo, el jotsume toji.

Espero que os haya gustado y si queréis una, sólo tenéis que decírmelo :)

Japanese Bookbinding

Esta tarde he hecho un curso de encuadernación japonesa en Duduá con la profesora Helene Grenvin. Nos ha enseñado dos tipos de cosidos diferentes: el jotsume toji (la libreta verde) y el asa-no-ha toji (libreta azul). Ha sido muy interesante, creo que éste va a ser el inicio de una bonita amistad :D


En el curso, había una diseñadora de complementos. He visitado su blog y me ha encantado! Nadia, me gusta mucho lo que haces. He visto que vendes en Baum,conozco a una chica que también vende allí... quizás la conozcas y sea de eso que nos suenan nuestras caras :D
