I added a new tool to my studio this week:
The Dahle 550 rotary trimmer. I love it! I have been using my rotary cutter and ruler to trim all my paper which works well but is very tiring and hard on the arms and wrists. This new trimmer works like a dream and I'm so glad I bought it.
And so to test it out I thought I'd use it to cut up some paper to use in a new journal:
No,that's not me in the photograph! It's one from my vintage photo stash. This journal has a photo frame cover so that you can slip in your own photo or drawing or whatever. It's in the shop here.
Check out the awesome mini journal that Sandy created using the new Mini Journal Pattern. Sandy is my official tester for my classes and patterns and always has very helpful tips and suggestions for me after reviewing the lessons. Thank you Sandy!
Only a few more days until the More Journal Making for the Fiber Artist online class starts!
Such a beautiful journal!
Great project!!
Ooh I was looking for something like this…just off to check it out!
Got 3 metres of pelmet vilene today so I’m all prepared for the course starting…
Wow,great looking new tool!!!! And the photo frame journal turned out great!
That looks like a serious tool. Good tools make such a difference. Great journal with the vintage pictures-I love them.
