First of all, she oozes talent. And she&#39;s adorable. And so, so nice. And she puts together such great kits.<\/p>\n<p>I saw my box waiting for me when I got home from Australia. I&#39;m fighting some killer jet lag, but I couldn&#39;t resist opening the box. I knew I wanted to journal, so I grabbed a few supplies and sat on my bed to create. I enjoyed the process immensely. It was a challenge to use only what I had with me, but I felt creatively inspired and I made SIX pages in the matter of about 2 hours. Seriously. I am going to share them with you over the next week or so and give you my thought process behind them.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#39;s what I had with me to use:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>My JBS kits&#8230;the main kit, the Antiquarian kit, and the mini album kit.<\/li>\n<li>My box of Neocolor II crayons.<\/li>\n<li>A few Stabilo All pencils in various colors.<\/li>\n<li>Fudeball 1.5 black pen, and a Faber-Castell white pen (the big one w\/ the bullet tip).<\/li>\n<li>Ranger glue stick. (BTW, I love the Ranger glue stick. It actually GLUES things down, unlike other glue sticks on the market.)<\/li>\n<li>Scissors<\/li>\n<li>A water brush filled with water.<\/li>\n<li>My vintage ledger journal. (Did you know that Jenni sometimes puts vintage ledgers up for sale in her &quot;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jbsmercantile.com\/eco\/store.asp?Category=77\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flea Market<\/a>&quot; section? Check it often, they sell out fast.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nope, no spray ink and no ink pad. I did long for spray ink a few times, but I resisted the urge to go get it. <\/p>\n<p>\n<a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/dinastamps.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d83451cff869e2019101a6003e970c-popup\" onclick=\"window.open( this.href, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39; ); return false\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Jbs may 02\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451cff869e2019101a6003e970c\" src=\"https:\/\/dinastamps.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d83451cff869e2019101a6003e970c-500wi\" title=\"Jbs may 02\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/dinastamps.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d83451cff869e201901bb0379d970b-popup\" onclick=\"window.open( this.href, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39; ); return false\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Jbs may 01\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451cff869e201901bb0379d970b\" src=\"https:\/\/dinastamps.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d83451cff869e201901bb0379d970b-500wi\" title=\"Jbs may 01\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There&#39;s one thing you must know first. The main kit has a hand-carved feather stamp, done by the amazing and talented <a href=\"http:\/\/louise-justloolabelle.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Louise Nelson<\/a>. You need it. Trust me. I about fainted from excitement when I saw it.<\/p>\n<p>This page started with the feather stamp.<br \/>\nBecause I didn&#39;t have an ink pad with me, I<br \/>\nwet the stamp with my water brush and then<br \/>\nscribbled on it with the Neocolor II crayons.<br \/>\nIt gave a very watercolor look to the<br \/>\nstamping. I added the yellow on the right<br \/>\nwith the Neocolors, also. I scribbled first, the used the waterbrush to dissolve and pull the color. I did the polka dots with the white Faber Castell pen. Then came the<br \/>\nvintage image, which I couldn&#39;t resist<br \/>\naltering a bit. The red stars were a perfect<br \/>\naddition and gave the vintage image a strong grounding element. Last came my journaling. Colorful, and I love the message&#8230;to LEAP.<\/p>\n<p>Look for another JBS journal page tomorrow!<\/p>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You all know about my love for Jenni Bowlin.
