Cute Speech Bubbles with Emma Kate

.

Hey Lollipop friends, I’ve been so inspired by Lisa’s junk journal videos on her “It’s Only Paper” YouTube channel I decided to create a journal page myself. Although I have a confession to make, it doesn’t include any junk, but it does have lots of lovely things from the “La Patisserie” kit here.

The speech bubble paper was perfect for the story I wanted to document, my daughter was giving voices to her dolls & what she said sounded so grown up it made me giggle. But before I fussy cut them out, I stitched around the edge of each bubble, tone on tone, using 3 strands of embroidery thread.

I used the purple paper as my background but before I adhered it into my notebook I used a scripty font stencil & some modelling paste to create some interest & again echoing that my journaling is all about the wording.

Next, I arranged my stitched speech bubbles around my photo & across both pages, once I was happy with the placement I adhered them into my notebook using foam tape. Then using a small alpha stamp, I stamped out bits of what my little girl said when we were playing with her dolls.

To finish, I added my journaling & some black splatters across my pages. This was my first attempt at junk journaling/not so junk journaling, I absolutely loved it & would definitely recommend giving it a go. Plus don’t forget to check out Lisa’s YouTube channel for loads of inspiration!

Much love,

Em x
