BIG BITE CHALLENGE - WEEK 11

 Hello Friends,

I can't believe the Big Bite Challenge at Junk Journaling for Everyone is almost over. the first part of Week 11's challenge is to make 3 altered paper clip attachments. The paper clips could be hidden or exposed. I chose to make mine hidden. Here is a how-to video and then my hidden paper clips.

The 2nd part of Week 11's challenge is to making 3 altered playing cards: one of a memory, one of a cause, and one of a wish. One of the playing cards had to have a cut opening on it, like a treasure box. I chose to add a treasure chest that I made with a BossCut die.

I altered my next card using the 'cause' theme. My cause is to cultivate simplicity in my life - to unplug more, enjoy nature, pray, and let my mind wander.

The journal I'm making has a paper doll theme. Paper dolls always remind me of my sister because we used to play with them when I was little and she was a teenager. I would cut 'dolls' from the Sears catalogue and Cathy would design clothes for them. So of course I chose to honour my sister for my altered card based on 'a memory'.

Thanks for stopping by. The final week of the Big Bite challenge will be to put our journals together. I will try to make a video of that for you as it would be too many photos to post. Plus, then I can show you all the tuck spots, flip-outs and hidden journaling spots.

Have a great weekend.

hugs & smiles,

Teresa
