It's been a while since I've used my chalks, and I have a nice palette, same brand as yours! I need to get those out today! Also, I purchased some pens, more like markers, several years ago.

Great techniques! Fantastic ❤. I’m thinking flourish stamps would be good too. FYI I have 2 sets of those chalks. One technique I used to do with them is take and use the Versamark and stamp an image. While it was still tacky take a Q-tip or cotton ball pick up some chalk and brush on to it. I loved doing it. It created a nice effect. 😊

Oh Kathleen, what an incredible video - i love all the TEN ways to transform a book page photo and now you are helping me to see these photos in a different way. I always want to have some kind of connection to what I put in my journals but the way you transformed these photos it making me think that photos of random people can have a place in my journal - love it! One of my favourite techniques of yours is the way you emboss on part of an image/photo/paper. I am always looking for the embossing folder like the one you have used here as I love the styles/curves etc. I have not found it yet - can you please share the name of it. I know it's probably an old one but I love looking on Facebook marketplace when people are selling their old embossing folders. I love the classic styles! On a separate note, I also love the chalking to colour the photos - great idea! I think your 10 ideas will be the theme for the next playdate with my JJ friend

[@BeAgainBooks]

I am so glad you found inspiration in this video! Thank you for your lovely message Gemma. The embossing folder is a Tim Holtz Alterations, but there is no name on it. It’s also such a favorite of mine.

Great ideas, I already do most of these, scratching, water mark, etc.I actually used chalks ..hair chalk actually which gives me 24 colours and I used these to do all my page edges as I didn't own any inks at the time when I started making Journals. They came out so cool.when blended in like distress inks do now. And I still use my chalks to this day along with my sandpaper. But I love how you used the onion bag for the background.
