Random Snippit Roll

 I watched a video with a FB group that I'm apart of. 

I've been doing snippit rolls a bit differently from the one shown above.

Snippit rolls are more random, and put down using scraps. 

I had been planning mine out, and working with 3 1/2 inches at a time. 

After the random pieces were glued down with a glue stick

I stitched them down. 

At the top of the strip I added a package of buttons. One was missing

from the card, but that is okay. Nothing perfect with a snippit. 

I also added a piece of snaps. Haven't used a snap in years, and

I had a whole package of them, so I tore off a section  and attached to the strip. 

And here is a closer view at the lower part of the strip. 

This is not the normal way I make things, but I have to say I could really get into

being more random!

Book Page Snippit Roll

 I'm back with another snippit roll that I made yesterday. 

I was having some trouble with trying to decorate a long strip of

paper so I approached this one differently. 

Started with a cash register receipt that I cut to measure 2 x 18 inches. 

Next I adhered book pages to cover the white cash receipt. 

I then wanted to add some color so I used distress oxide ink randomly leaving

parts of the book page un-inked. 

Then instead of looking at the entire inked piece I sectioned it

off and only focused on 3 1/2 inches at a time. Much

easier for me to work in smaller sections. 

I'm happier working this way. Not as over whelmed with all that

blank space. 

Going to get my first Covid vaccine shot this morning.

Snippit Paper Roll

Since I started getting addicted to junk journals I'm 

making more paper scraps than ever! 

What to do? 

Found a video on You Tube showing how to make a paper snippit roll. 

Okay so what is that? 

I think of it as a crazy quilt except instead of using fabric you

use bits, and pieces of paper scraps. 

For the base I used a cash register roll that I picked up at Hollo's

paper store last week. They were actually giving a stack of them away

for free! So I got about 10 of them. 

After I glued down all the bits, and pieces I ran three rows of stitching

down the piece using my sewing machine. I think you can

skip this step as the glue holds all the pieces down, but I like

the look the stitching gives. 

So I'm sure the next question is how will you use this? 

The idea is to cut or tear off pieces from the strip, and

use them for pockets or side bars in junk journals. I 

know I'm going to be making lots of these, as they

are relaxing to make!!!!! This girl loves

collage, and shabby chic plus I have lots of scraps

so this is a project with my name all over it!
