My masterpiece collection of projects
Here's the project I managed to complete. I'm so glad I was able to make some things as we went along each day.


Here's the project I managed to complete. I'm so glad I was able to make some things as we went along each day.

I decided to make Monique's live pockets project my fall inspired project. I didn't use a real piece of nature, but images of nature.😉

I'm excited to add this to the Guide Journal after I figure out the best way to do that. I guess I could still fold down the middle. I'll continue to add black and white kitties as I complete the squares today.

Here's the Retreat Schedule Guide bound. I'd like to sew it when I have a bit more time, but it's good for using this week. I also plan to decorate it more.


I love what you have done.

I like that you used a real leaf on yur cover! That's my favorite leaf!

I like your folder! I still need to make miine.
Am I the only one that stresses about taking pages from books. I found an old diary to use as book pages and a pack of paint pens I had not opened. Voila, my attempt at Therese’s

botanicals.
OMG, me too! The first one I did was from a paperback study bible. I like the thin pages... almost like vellum. It's getting easier. The old books I use aren't worth anything in the book collector markets, so at least they are getting a second life.
Making a tiny journal inspired by Einat’s session. Not finished yet.

I love it!
Here is a picture of my Autumn page.

This is adorable! I love your ephemera!


I love the vintage look of the Jiffy box. What a great idea! Thanks!😍

LOVE THIS! I love how you decorated it too! You do such great work! Thank you for sharing!
This is a journal i have been working on for a while now. It still has a lot of pages to fill... so this is just a glimpse. Once it is done, I'll share it here. It won't be for a while though lol. All the orange and turquoise designs, the cats, hats and steampunk designs.. are all made by Belinda Bassoon. If you love Steampunk as much as I do, definitely check her out! I used a ribbon to bind it.


It looks wonderful, NIkki! Belinda is such an inspiration.
I just finished reorganizing and decluttering my art supplies :)

Well done!
I'm creating a sisterhood journal :)

That's cool!
Finally was able to make my broom and wand. Not in time for last night's Live, but it is done. Glitter everywhere!

So is glitter a friend or nemesis...... For me? nemesis.....especially after I dropped a whole bottle, OPEN bottle, not once, but TWICE in one night. ugh. 😂
Instead of making a whole new journal, I decided to use one I made last year. I cut the pages of the guide in half (sometimes a little more than that) so I could attach them to pages already in the journal. Since I've already got lots of room for journaling and note taking, I didn't include all the papers Michelle gave us. I did print them out so I can use them if I want. Here's how it looks so far:


That was a good idea!

I love how you bound it together! Sometimes we just need cinch in our life! I know I do.

🙂Here's a pic of my easel and booklet.

I love how these came out!
From today's Lunch & Learn with Monique. "In the ferns" words that are cut out are backwards because the other side is white, and the back was green.


These are so cute! 💗💗💗
From Monique's class today. It broke as I rolled, so I made a tiny one with what broke off.

I need to add to it, but here it is so far.


LOVE LOVE LOVE This is fantastic!!!!!

I LOVE this Nikki! Great job and so pretty!
I would love to have projects done to post here, and to have a chance for the prizes, but it takes me awhile to print, cut and make these in a timely manner. I promise. I will make more of these projects. Love everything!
You do you the way you need to do you! That is all that matters!
Finished this one after I found my paper punch. Need to trim the ribbon, I guess.

Love it! And by the way-there is NEVER too much ribbon.......
Reposting since my pictures didn't show up in my last post. Thanks to all the speakers for all the inspiration.


Beautiful!

Love a good waterfall!

I think that was more than enough.
Sending you love and healing 💗💗💗


I just noticed how perfectly you got that lined up!
I had such a wonderful time! Thank you so much for hosting this event! Instead of a bunch of different posts here is everything i worked on compiled. Thank you again!
Wowzers!💗💗💗
I'll do the folding when everything is dry :)

Love all of your choices (techniques and colors).
These were the "easiest" to complete. Not a lot of time to work on things. Hope to complete a few more later. Can't do any of the paint projects until my desk is more organized.

Good job
Here are some of the projects I worked on today.
Water color pages for Gratitude Folio. Waiting for them to dry.
Quote Easel


Such a pretty envelope!

Those must be Amy's tickets for tonight's prizes! (All the same winning number!!)🤣
Here is my first one! I'm inspired to make more. Thank you Consie!
further pics in the comments :)

Good job Nikki. Looks great

Love it! Mine is running through the printer right now.


Beautiful!
Hi everyone,
I am attaching a pictures from the class I get this evening. I saved everything including all the punch outs and all pieces of paper that are empty of circles as I am going to come up with a way to use the podcast as well as all the beautiful size surface might take away from this class tonight layer one equals beauty to each of us different but all of us who painted listen to music and came out with pieces like I feel, I did gave you a window into for me and looking at yours I’m sure I will see beauty in yours. This is one of the best classes I’ve taken at a Retreat. I can’t say anything bad about any class that you offered as every instructor has been well prepared and willing to help and has demonstrated their commitment to each…
Amazing! I am so glad you got so much from the retreat!
I cant believe i have never made one of these before! So fun AND easy! I cant wait to build some inserts for it! (and use an actual large size paper bag next time i have one!)

I've never made one either! What a great class this was! This is so cute!
I managed to finish a project today! I made the back different


I love it Amy! Great Job! I can't wait until I have time to try some of these projects!
After having a rough start today. I was able to finish the I AM mini journal.

That came out great!!!!!!!
Made the stickers! :) ( I have sticker paper )

Awesome Nikki
Finished my Retreat Field Guide. Going to bind it later in case I want to add additional pages. Glued in pockets inside, made stickers with the ephemera and tabs. Decorated note pad. This was a nice addition for the Retreat to keep me organized. Thank you @Michelle Caldwell

oh YAY!!!!!! This makes me so happy! Thank you for sharing!

Oooo, what a great idea!
This was so much fun to just create, no plan, just do it.

WooHoo! I hope that's the first of many for you Sharon.
💗💗💗
Every once in a while I take a break from creating junk journals from scratch and use a class kit to make an album. The guided classes often have new ideas I can adapt to junk journals. I finished this album last week.


Love it! Can't wait to make mine.
These pictures are from a junk journal I made in 2025.


So pretty!
This is incredibly cute!
