🌿 #MyDailySpread26 | Day 7 – What I Am Reading 🌿

Welcome to Day 7 of the #MyDailySpread26 collaboration hosted by Rach & Bella Crafts. Today’s prompt is “What I Am Reading” paired with the technique “Split-Page Layout.” For this spread, I created a lace-covered split-page design which opens to reveal my current reading lists tucked inside. I also made a handmade bookmark, finished with a wax seal and a butterfly charm, to add a soft vintage touch to the page. I’ve really been enjoying creating interactive elements throughout this no-sew botanical journal because they create little moments of discovery within the pages. Books, journaling and creativity feel like such a lovely combination, and this spread became a beautiful space to record some of the things currently inspiring me. One of the things I love most about the #MyDailySpread26 collaboration is how it encourages us to slow down, reflect and enjoy creativity one page at a time. We would absolutely love for you to join us. Whether you create daily or simply dip in when inspiration strikes, don’t forget to use #mydailyspread26 so we can all support and encourage one another’s creations. 💜 Little Crafting Confession Time… 💜 I owe you all a tiny apology! Apparently, in today’s video I was so busy happily crafting away, chatting to myself, sticking lace everywhere and getting completely carried away with the project… that I forgot to make sure the camera was actually recording the beginning properly! 🙈😂 So by the time I realised, the project was already well underway. Typical Cheryl crafting chaos! I did briefly consider pretending it was all part of a very mysterious “creative surprise reveal”… but I don’t think anyone would believe me. 😄 Thankfully you haven’t missed too much, and I do talk through everything as the video continues, so hopefully you’ll still be able to follow along without any problems. I suppose it just proves this journal really is a genuine, real-life crafting adventure — mistakes, happy accidents, forgotten buttons and all! 💜 Thank you so much for always being so kind, supportive and understanding. Honestly, I think half the fun of crafting together is embracing the imperfect moments along the way ✨ The My Daily Spread digital kits are still ON SALE, including the amazing bundles, so now is the perfect time to grab a bargain ✨ 📖 My Playlist for the Collaboration:    • RAB - My Daily Spread   You can find everything you need to take part on Rachel's website, including: 🌸 The FREE printable prompt sheet 🌸 The full creator schedule 🌸 Daily video links 🌸 Collaboration information 🌸 Digital kits and supplies 🌸 Rach & Bella Crafts Website: https://www.rachandbellacrafts.com 🌸 Rach & Bella Crafts YouTube:    / @rachandbellacrafts   ✨ And don’t forget the WEEKLY GIVEAWAY ✨ Please give the collaborators for this day a visit - Edith ‪@SCRAPBOOKINGWITHMECRAFTS‬ & Phyllis   / phyllisj73   You Can Find Me Here 🌸 YouTube:    / @lilacandtimecrafts   🌸 Ko-Fi Shop: https://ko-fi.com/lilacandtimecrafts 🌸 Instagram:   / lilacandtimecrafts   🌸 Facebook Page:   / lilacandtimecrafts   🌸 Threads: https://www.threads.net/@lilacandtime...
