Hello friends,thank you for taking the time to visit!
My typing will be minimal in my next few posts as I regain my strength and feeling in my left hand,so please bear with me.
For sure there will be loads of photos,so have your cuppa ready!
A few of our blog friends said they would like to see more of the Sari Journal from me.
So,off we go!
Here is my beginning inspiration. I ordered Gwen's Curated Stash Packs~Paper and Paper Embellishments-
OMGosh what a glorious pack to open!
After choosing some papers I added color to my page with Prima Sparks-Butterfly Spells
Then the layering began
One of Gwen's new spring time stencil releases- isn't this just gorgeous?!
It is called Chinese Garden Plum Blossom.
close up of Emerald Creek's Enhanced Gold Pearl Embossing Powder-
I felt the space between the pages needed a bit of something, so a piece of Sari Scrap was added and the the Turkman Jewelry part with beading- I love how it turned out
And this GORGEOUS piece of Pink Sari Scrap was the perfect embellishment for this page!
If you haven't purchased any of Gwen's Irresistible India Sari Scraps yet,I urge you to get some before they are gone-such delicious colors and fibers- you will just love them!
I cut out and embossed a few of these dies-sorry no longer available-but beautiful right?
a couple of Gwen's beautiful Washi tapes in stock
a bit of sewing of Sari
aged papers for that vintage look
and a nesting of Sari and string
and the finished spread
Thank you so very much for your visit and I wish I could have been more detailed with my descriptions,please contact me via email or in the comments if you have any questions on my Springtime Spread in my Sari Journal!
Thank you my friends for your wonderful words of encouragement and concern-you are truly the best!Sending out much love and peace to you all!

A glorious journal, Jackie! So full of texture and inspiration! I'm so happy to see you post again - this must mean you're well on the way to recovery! Sending you healing thoughts and lots of love xx
It's wonderful to see that you're creating again, Jackie - and it was lovely to hear from you over at Words and Pictures too... don't go overdoing it now, will you?! I love your Oriental journal page - stunning textures and colours and so much love and life, which is amazing given what you've been going through. Your love and positivity shines through. I'll be back shortly to catch up with your video catch up.
Oh, and yes, the sun is finally shining!

Jackie, this layout is stunning! I am so glad that you shared more of this art journal because I want to see it all! The images, embroidery, sparkle and texture make my eye so happy. I love everything about it. Your pictures of Gwen's goodies make my mouth water. I am going to have to save some money. Hope that your hand is feeling better soon. Rest, rest, rest!

Absolutely gorgeous Jackie, I love all the beautiful textures and colour, it makes me want to reach out and touch it! That Turkman piece is stunning and I love how you added the beading - so beautiful!
Speaking as one who had a wrist replacement a few years back, the best advice I can give is to rest your hand but do some gentle exercise - and take it easy and you will soon be back crafting and blogging! Thinking of you. Hugs, Anne xx
Lovely journal spread, so rich in texture and colors! I wouldn't have the first clue on how to craft in an Oriental style, but you seem to come by it quite easily. The die cut is indeed a beauty and I love the rich embossing you gave it. It's always a pleasure to see how your crafty mind thinks. Please don't overdo it! I totally get how those pain meds make you feel like a superhero, ready to tackle anything that comes your way. Makes me wonder WHY???? I could use some of that get up and go today. Got a LONG post to write! Sending healing hugs!
