I dont remember if it was this group or another, but did/does anyone make/have a craft journal? Its like a journal or a log you keep of all the craft stuff you have done. (ie-felt ornaments, cross stitchings, etc)



Any help is appreciated... I'd like to make one, mainly because I have so many cross stitchings that I've done, that I'd like to find someplace to keep all the info/my finished design together.

HI Lacey,

I do keep a craft log especially with my scrapbooking/cardmaking that I may or may not want to enter for publication. It also keeps a record, for me at least, of the supplies I used and how many I used for a creation.

I have to mention that before this group, I never kept a record of what supplies I used for a layout or card but now I can't live without it.

I have a friend that uses a 6X6 album and takes pictures of crafts she's done. I have a cake decorating album, but it's only an album that I slip a photo into. Some day I may actually scrapbook that photos.

I have an album of all the teddy bears I've made.

I scan most of my cards and keep the images them in folders (computer) by season. After I've spent so much effort making one, I want some record of it so I can revisit it after I've sent it to someone. That also serves as a record of what embellishments I've used, designs, papers, etc.

(I've gotten picky about who I'll send my cards to -- I'd be annoyed if I thought the recipient would just toss one out with the junk mail.) :-)

The lady that did my daughter's wedding cake requested a picture of my daughter in her wedding dress with the cake for her album. I thought that was a neat idea. Sandy

Hi Lacey, I have a scrapbooking journal but it is more for me to jot down LO ideas, technique instructions, and tips. For the recipe swap, I sketched the LO in my journal before I started putting things together.

Take care!

I don't have a craft journal as such. I just have a file with pictures of the things that I have made. Now that I'm scrapbooking, it would be a great time to put them all together in a book! Sounds like a summer project to me.
