We always start with show and tell and browsing others&#8217; creations sparks my own imagination.  In our meeting this week, we made small cards. I did collages and pockets with tags. I knew I needed to get them into my journal so found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FsUSP06QG3Q&amp;t=136s\">an easy tutorial<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@CindyALewis\">Cindy Lewis<\/a> on making a pocket. I had made lots of pockets and interactive pages in the past but recently I was doing flat collages. It was fun to create an interactive page at the end of my journal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"604\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ld2wJlisYnw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I try to make art every day and keep a journal for that purpose.
