Frank giveaway & #the_paper_series winner?

Well, it was my turn to be at the judging end of the competition with Frank this month and I must say it wasn't easy. So I decided to set some criteria and yay have selected a winning entry.

I have chosen @wendypaulamuses as the winner and this is why.


Wendy went all the way with the paper theme- upcycling an old book into a tent! And such a lovely vintage-style tent too, with flag and fancy tent top to boot. The flag seems to be blowing in the wind and you can almost hear the circus music!

As for the photo - I love the casualness of the composition. It’s as if Wendy is saying " ta da, just finished -  what do you think?" And the tones are a calming palette too, that go with the vintage theme.

Well done Wendy! I appreciate your efforts to make this lovely creation from flat pieces of paper- so creative! You are the winner of this lovely journal from Frank Stationery




There were also so many other imaginative entries and each had something special about them. But of course there are a special few I'd like to mention.

These colourful entries by:

@englishgirl14 with such a beautiful array of colourful stamps 



@_thelucky44_  whose colourful paint box and hand decorated stationery grabbed my attention




And below some carefully composed vignettes with clever compositions, item combinations and tones:

@24cherrys - a mysterious and moody vignette




@simmykins - a modern flatlay with gentle colours



And finally cannot leave out these talented and skilled artists:

@fourcornersdeign - a master (or should that be mistress!)  of storytelling!





@hellolaurajane whose skill and patience to cut out these intricate and lovely shapes is admirable!




@thestoyofvintage handmade vivid lapis lazuli journal project with a bird theme, which I am just a little partial towards!




Thanks for playing along – it’s always so exhilarating to see what ideas people come up with. 

 Thanks also to Frank for the lovely prize. So great to collaborate with a team who are socially conscious and give back to society! 

 Till next time – Claudia x
