    I love so much your work, and always wonder when do you make all of these beautiful signatures, boxes and other items. I wanted to ask what medium do you use with the stencils in your signatures? Is it ink or chalk? It looks very soft.

    Hi @kakow4! Thank you for the lovely comment 😘 For stenciling I usually use Distress Ink and apply it through the stencil with a brush, which gives it a very subtle and gentle look.

    @@pennydeig1607 patterned papers for this project were printed on a laser printer (I have HP Color Laser Jet Pro M255dw). I rarely use printing profiles, most of the time I select "Plain" paper type, but make sure that I print at "High" quality. If I do use specific papers for which my printer has predefined settings (Like for ex 'HP brochure glossy 150 g"), I try to chose that paper type instead of the 'Plain".

    Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment, @livingauthenticallyonmyownterm! We have taken another kitty a couple of months ago. Seems like Misty doesn't really like her.... 😒Since the new kitty DOES spend a lot of time with me, Misty prefers to stay somewhere else now. I miss her in my craft room and really hope that one day she will be ready to come back.

    @@ClayGuana, awww, that’s so hard to go through and a hard decision to make! We have a cat and dog sanctuary in the country, and have been through a lot of different situations over the years. Sometimes cats just don’t like each other. It’s an energy thing between them. Or they just can’t adjust to another cat being brought into their home because they feel like they’ve been replaced, when that isn’t the case at all. I hope everything works out for all of you. I hope Misty is happy, and you enjoy your new baby. Maybe one day Misty will come back home to you. ❤

    I thought about it, but unfortunately, I don't have a proper microphone to film ASMR. Another thing with these specific journals was that there were too many pages, and I needed to create quick video flip throughs of the inner content of the journals. 😊 Thank you so much for watching!
