How to Create a Fun Wintery Scene/Junk Journal Snacks #21 - Bitesized Inspiration For Your Journal!

[@love-light369]

Snacks can sometimes turn into mini-meals! I had to laugh when you "stole" the dog off the boy! 😍🐶😍

[@luiseheinzl]

You definitely need walnut stain! You will be very surprised how wonderful it looks especially after using vintage photo for years! If you'd ask Sonja, she would say: vintage photo has nothing to do on a spread with my ephemera 🤣🤣

[@49dragonflies]

Haha thanks! Good to know! ❤️

[@roksannastephens4375]

Agree

[@GigisART]

Yes, she should definitely have a shop!! I want some of those "dangly things" 😊 Love this snack!

[@joanfriant211]

Now I know what to do with all these boxes!

[@DeniseS-6867]

This is so very wonderful! I just love the corrugated cardboard with the forest of trees. Thanks for sharing.

[@oshratmaidanchik246]

I do use the walnut stain when I need something darker you will love working with both

[@shabbyrosecreationsbykem]

Ooh wow, I loved this bite sized snack! Poor little boy lol, I too think the lil dog looks better with the lady. A lot of inspiration, on this little flip. Love it, TFS ❤️

[@mmonr]

This is such an apropos page for now. We don’t have snow in Texas but it is cold. Sooo cute. Actually I think I have hoarded that paper doll because of the dog. 🙄 it never occurred to me that I could separate it. Thanks for the permission. 😉

[@gail2139]

I have 7 brown inks and I use them all! Some are distress, some are not. I'm creating a winter journal, so this was inspiring!

[@janc3514]

I like alternating between vintage photo and walnut. Its always good to have options!

[@tuthillg]

Gorgeous and so textural! Love what Sonja did and then the way that you blended her cluster with your creation was genius! TFS the inspiration, Barbara!

[@debbivaughn1313]

🥰So adorable!👍👍 Glad you stole the dog.🤣 It's just what she needed to go with that lovely ephemera.

[@shellreinhart2632]

"Oh no...what did i do" ... words spoken so often in my craft space .. lol 😆 i love this beautiful wintery lil snack page!!

[@49dragonflies]

😂 Thanks so much! ❤️

[@darlosstroud870]

Loved watching you turn a small grey page into a Winter Wonderland. Your snacks are always delicious!

[@anettebrogaard]

I had completely forgotten that I have at least 2 bags of paper dolls lying around. Thanks for reminding me of that. And I am so impressed that you can get so much out of so little. Thank you for the inspiration you great Goddess. ;)

[@GwynWalker]

Lovely! My vote is YES on the Walnut stain. You won't regret it.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! ❤️

[@Valkennestblogspot]

I love these snacks and this one on a little page is even more interesting than the big pages. Love the stolen dog and that spiderweb paper envelope with booklet. Have a nice crafty week. Greetings Maia

[@lidimaparis4799]

Barbara, I love how you construct your collages. It is great to see pieces being chosen or discarded for the improvement of the whole page.

[@fairyGrandmother]

Hey Barbara! I love the page you did! The ephemera you were sent is beautiful! I can't believe you stole his dog! Bhahahahahaa! TFS Hugs!

[@49dragonflies]

😂😂😂

[@minders78]

I like walnut stain but ground espresso is really good too.

[@49dragonflies]

Oh no, another one I need to get! 😂

[@bellascraftystudio]

Hi Barbara, another great Sunday snack. It looks so wintery and she definitely needs a warm coat for her walk and her doggy is just so cute. Great touch! 🥰🥰🥰

[@kadieb1020]

I am loving this♡ the lace and old vintage goodness! Yes. As soon as your put the other words inside on the book and put it at the bottom 🤣 we both said the same thing at the same time. ♡♡

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you! 😃❤️❤️❤️

[@tonyashatley5040]

Thanks for the yummy snack! Turned out gorgeous, of course! I love how she used circles! I might give that a try-fun way to add shapes! I actually like ground espresso-it’s definitely more brown than vintage photo.

[@RobinfromCA]

Love this and I have to borrow the idea of the trees in front of the circles. It makes the best winter skyline!

[@lindahigham5317]

Good evening 👋😊 49 dragonflies 🌹 love your page 👍 tonight the little dog is sweet 🤗🌹💌☺️🦄

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Always love the snacks So cute Love you back.👍🤗 hugs 🤗

[@annwoleben5439]

A precious page! You accomplished so much in such a small space.

[@bonnielipke1962]

Walnut Stain is my second go to distress ink. The regular distress in both are darker than the Oxides so you may just need to switch out to the regular to get the actual brown.

[@angelastrozier7467]

I just love snacks! Each one is so unique and prettier than the previous ones!!!!

[@angelaarnold4255]

For Christmas, someone gave me a small Cast Iron Pan. I couldn’t get it out of the package. So I finally just ripped it open. OMG! The most beautiful corrugated card board ever. It peeled the top layer off so easy. It had deep corrugated gouges on it but it was light weight and thin. Not too much bulk. I got so excited and peeled the top layer off in spots and I saved every scrap! Lol. One of the bigger pieces made it to my Journal Cover with some Gesso and some gold paint, added with my finger tool (thank you for that. One tool I didn’t have to go out and buy!). I learn something every time I watch a snack. I saw this small piece of neutral paper and thought, “What is she going to do with that!!!?” I love this page! Love the key on the Bulldog Pin. I’m going to make one of these with my gold key, and put it on my cover along with my little gold Corrugated Cardboard cluster!! Fun snack!! Thank you again!!

[@49dragonflies]

Great Christmas present! 😉 I’m sure your cover looks gorgeous! ❤️

[@angelaarnold4255]

@@49dragonflies it’s such a weird process! I think it’s done (the cover) and then I see something else and I go off on that tangent! Lol. The tiny beads on your key charm reminded me of a broken necklace I had, made out of seed beads. The perfect color to match my cover. So here I am. Creating another thing to add to the layers. Inspiration is so fun. Lol

[@katherinetwilliams4254]

I am with the walnut stain users. Recently I also use the ground espresso a good bit too.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for your feedback! ❤️

[@jenniferedwards6238]

You help me realize that in order to make beautiful pages like this, it’s easier if I have some previously created items from which to choose.

[@49dragonflies]

Yes, that’s faster and provide me inspiration 😃❤️

[@matildaenlund6679]

Another delicious snack! Thank you!

[@kathrynhelm4176]

Wonderful “little bite” of gorgeousness. 👍🥰❤️

[@aprilcarter749]

Gorgeous what a beautiful snack for me tonight! 🥳💗

[@Maja-RacheGelenkig]

Ich bin totaler Fan von Deinen paperdolls Winterbildern. Da könnte ich noch mehr vertragen! Grüßle aus Augsburg!

[@vickirae561]

I so enjoy when you are trying to decide what to do, and you read my mind all the way in Austria. LOL

[@marybethschuiteman484]

Thank you Barbara for the snack.....food for the eyes.😊

[@JessicaHarris]

I’ve had walnut stain sitting on my shelf and just started using it - I really like it. It has more blue undertones.

[@flightyrambler8650]

The lil dog did a lot for that layout! It was so cute :D

[@craftygrandma56]

omg!!! love love love that picture!!! Turned into a snowstorm!! LOL!! my mom had a hat like that!!! very stylish indeed! Love the sentiments - I too love to watch the snow fall...but from inside the house!! LOL!! but the quote is so true because snow is so much prettier when walking in the woods...but not when it is - 32C!!

[@cinziagirelli7939]

Brrrrr you right fellow Canadian !

[@emmkaa2099]

...walnut stain? Yes!! And I also "heart" ground espresso! YUM!

[@tmbentley1966]

Lol on the dognapping. Love this tiny little page!

[@christineculbertson4804]

I love how your page came out so very cute!

[@giselalemus9057]

Beautiful half page, love how you used something already made, the envelope was a very cute idea and the sentiments perfect. I enjoyed watching you put this one together. Thank you❣️

[@dianethompson8841]

Ground Espresso has a deep richness about it. I think you may like it better. Walnut Stain is quite dark. Both would be a nice addition to your collection. I love this snack! Every time I watch a snack, the music reminds me of the movie "The Bucket List". So relaxing and easy to the ears. Love and hugs from Arkansas! Diane

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much for your insights! ❤️

[@Astras-Stargate]

Good call on the dog! Really love this. Thanks Barbara.

[@manuelacaravane]

I love how this little page turned out, it's so beautiful 😍! Have a nice Sunday 🌞!

[@tonidibernardo171]

I love the stolen dog! I have the same paper dolls and I love them. Another beautiful beautiful page. Thanks for sharing Barbara have a great Sunday.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks and happy Sunday! ❤️

[@brendagilbert7881]

I love it! And you are right, that lady can probably take better care of the doggy! I like walnut stain, and also Gathered Twigs oxide inks also it is a deeper shade. I always enjoy watching you work!

[@manolicu9480]

Fun snack😀😀 and thinking the dog is happier with her walking in the snow 😍💜💜

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Haha yes, I think so too! 😃❤️

[@rachelpatten8889]

Walnut stain is very good to match coffee stained paper. I keep both handy to match the paper. I even use colors around, then stain on the very edge. Sonja’s items are very pretty.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for your insights! ❤️

[@bearfooting3964]

Yes....walnut stain. It's a great addition to have. Love your creations!

[@msmarlene4977]

This snack turned out great. And... Thanks to you I'm now using pieces of corrugated cardboard on my pages.

[@LindaMZH65]

Such a beautiful half page and I love that little tree line you were gifted. 😘

[@carolschneider8589]

Another gorgeous page........great ideas. You can't go wrong with the rich tone of the walnut stain. Go for it!! Hugs, Carol Schneider

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for your feedback, Carol! ❤️

[@heatherb7491]

Love the page, it’s gorgeous. Yes to walnut stain, I’ve been using it for about 4 months and love it. Xx

[@lisaspages4267]

I use "potting soil" from Archive Ink for my edging and I love it. It's definitely less warm and more of a true brown than vintage photo

[@wandaspencer9523]

Fabulous 💖. I absolutely loved what you did on this page! Yes to the walnut distress stain. I have a few stains that are considered staples… black soot, old papers, vintage photo, walnut stain etc.

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you for your insights! ❤️

[@rowenaroberts813]

Barbara I love your work. Just gorgeous.😻💕

[@sandyfitchcorbett1782]

I love snow covered pines so I really like what you’ve done. I use to always use walnut stain. Started using vintage photo because everyone else did. Just in the last few days I’ve switched back to the walnut stain. I like it better.

[@kitbajdek3017]

This turned out darling! Love that you added the dog. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Samreen0987]

You just transformed a little page into something so captivating and magical! Ioved this! The colours, the lace and everything that l adore! Now thats what l call a charming peice of art! 💙💙

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaw thanks sweetie! Happy you like it! ❤️

[@phylliswilliamstn]

So beautiful. 😊 I do love walnut stain.

[@juliematheny9875]

I really enjoyed seeing you create this page. It is a beautiful little piece of art. Thank you.

[@joannesherwood3562]

Your snacks are all so beautiful. The 'snowflake' sentiment is wonderful, I have written it down with the hopes of using it some wintery day ❄🥰❄

[@lauriesmith372]

Pretty page. The dog addition was just right!😻

[@gotdairy]

That turned out so cute!

[@janeenrodgers5993]

My first time watching a snack video. It amazes me how you make such amazing creations with just bits and pieces. Now I have to catch up on past videos.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy the others as well! ❤️

[@bettymetz3746]

Working in my journal as I watch today. Lovely page Barbara, just lovely! ❤️ from Ohio.

Another great snack. Love the envelope tucking over with the lace and buttons. Hope your ankle is better now. Xx

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Jen! ❤️

[@Sehnixlol]

Wow, absolutely stunning!

[@daniellepringle448]

I love the walnut stain. I use it more often than vintage photo but my style is pretty grungy so it just works for my style more often

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for letting me know! ❤️

[@JoyfulMakesandFinds]

I bought the Walnut Stain because Vintage Photo was out of stock and I LOVE it. It is a bit darker, but I find that I don't use as much and I am usually happier with the result. Love this page! Those clusters are BEAUTIFUL! Your snack videos are really inspiring!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for your thoughts! ❤️

[@donnahoward3694]

What a delightful video! I love your voice and your thinking process as you create the sweetest pages!

Beautiful page! Yes, get the walnut stain..... TYFS ♥️

[@AzaleaLala]

The page turn out beautiful. Very creative. I was thinking the little paper with the stars would have looked nice layered behind the trees. It would be nice for you to have some options. I actually prefer Walnut Stain to Vintage Photo. But I think it's nice to have both.

[@milagrosvega5560]

You did great with this journal page. I was laughing when you said, "He was late for the party"🤣

[@megsgonnamake]

Gorgeous! I love Walnut Stain! I love all of the browns and I like to change them up :)

The walnut stain is my Favorite 🙂

[@sharonromer6606]

Yes...use the Walnut color👍

[@sharinsherri2558]

Awesome!!! Loved this. So inspiring!

[@pambotter365]

Awww. I think the dog will like being with the lady in the snow. Good choice! I would never buy those people and this is the reason why…I have old family pictures that are the exact same or close to them, so already have my own. Other then that I don’t think they are creepy. LOL. Absolutely love what you did on this page. Gorgeous!! Thanks for the snack!! TFS! ❤️

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Pam! Of course it’s much better if you have your own personal paper dolls! ❤️

[@sandofthesun]

The dog 🐶 was a great choice 💕💕💕💕
