Hello there! It's Yukie from Tokyo. How are you today?
Today I would like to share some note pages and an unique hanging box with very small mini year-book in it.
***
So let's start with autumn note pages with Cozytime. It's rather odd to inform you first, but the photos are not from this year. That is why kids are playing together without masks!!
Pages are full of autumn colors, orange, beige, dark green, gray and brown.I have captured the coloring equipment in the picture. You might feel they are many, but I only did some very simple techniques, such as stencil, tracing, spattering, and I also just simply sprayed all over the page...Cut out threes from the 12 inches and Travel note pages, the camera, title also from TN pages.
You can see some words are from the famous Studio forty transparent stickers. They are absolute magic. You don't need to think how you write it. Just pick the phrase, and stick them anywhere you like.

On these pages, I used Studio Forty's beautiful hexagon stamps, They come in two different sizes and they did great job.

I added some very simple patterns by my handwriting. Such as tiny little circles, stars, dots, etc. You may also notice photos are decorated with the washi-tape like 'strip stickers'. They are very sweet and does a nice job making the pages colorful and adorable. ( also stable♡）

The last pages I did most coloring spattering the water color. The quote of the pages is obviously the jam jars. Studio Forty jam jar stamps work great with outdoor photos, too. Memories are preserved in the little jam jars.
To be very honest with you dear blog readers, I have hardly ever made any note pages, before. It was kind of scary to make pages so flat for a scrapbooker. But it worked so easy with lovely stamps and stickers. Simple coloring and journaling was also very fun.
I am going to place this notebook on the back of my lantern. ( if you are not sure of my last post → Click here ）

Now on to my unique work with Nordica collection.
See the little circle boxes? They size approximately φ3.5inches/φ9cm and 1.5inches/4cm high.
Boxes are made and decorated by all the Nordica collections. I made the little roses by cutting papers, and rolled them.
If you see the back side of the boxes, you see the twine going through. This twine works to help tie the ribbons properly, SO that you can hang the boxes on your favorite places, just like fireplaces, Christmas trees, or simply just on a wall or a door.
When you open the boxes, you will find tiny mini-books. They are bound by bellow folding and covered with plastic clear sheets which are sand-paper filed to pretend if they were the real smoky glasses :)
The mini book is actually a year book of 2020. I have adhered photos taken during the year though it was rather a tough year for photographing. Hmm, or maybe in a way, easier to pick the photos of the year. (because you don't have many)
Studio forty's stamps, label stickers and chipboard stickers help the mini year book look super cute and meaningful! Such a tiny book, but has so much in it.
I have also made some small pockets for the tiny tags and letters and little trick to extend pages by brads, so that you can journal more to make the year book even more personal.
Thank you for being with me till the end. I hope you liked the works. Let's make something for fun to go through the rough time. See you next time!
