Hello and welcome to my creative space. I am Lori Padilla and I have loved paper all my life. Creating with paper makes me very happy and I want to share my journey with you. I love creating handmade journals of all types, often using vintage ephemera. I also love creating collage and fabric art. I see inspiration everywhere and enjoy creating unique art.
I am an avid amateur photographer, starting in high school. I am also a writer. So combining those hobbies I decided if a picture is worth a thousand words; then hundreds of photos must be piles of paragraphs--so that's me

Margarete Miller Collage challenge 46 #2024CW46
Came over from Gayle’s channel. I might be able to handle 1 tag a month! I don’t usually join the challenges because I’m not much of a rule follower! However, I do post on instagram, I do hashtags, and I love to make grungy tags so maybe I have found a challenge I can complete!! Plus Gayle will likely remind me with a video! Sounds fun.
@TwilaSue Thank you! Not many rules for this challenge. I look forward to seeing your tags.
I like the idea of using circles. Thank you for sharing.
@michelel3372 Thank you, they are fun to make
I’m in Lori!
I am so happy to hear that. Welcome to the challenge my friend.
Love your tags! I made 4 last night and posted them to my community page a little bit ago, with the hash tags and a link to your invitational video. 😀
Thank you so much, your tags are wonderful. Thanks for joining in.☺
Yay, Lori! So fun! Thank you for inviting me to join in! I’m excited to play! Love your tags! Excited to do mine and looking forward to see what you do in February! 🤗❤
@@gayleagostinelli_ct Thanks so much Gayle. I’m enjoying the challenge and I’m so happy you are playing. ❤️☺️
Hi Lori..fellow vintage club member and Arizonan here. I’m lost trying to find your prompt list in Etsy for the grungy tag challenge. help a girl out, will ya?
Hi Julie! I will be releasing the next prompt at the end of each video. This one is a label, the next is coffee or tea stained. This challenge is RUclips based, nothing in the Etsy shop for it unless you want to use grungy fabric
@ so no list of prompts ? Just watching and waiting from each video? how can I plan ahead? 😝
@@juliebey8240 No, not list. Well, it is only one prompt a month so you will have all of January to prepare for January and February, hope that helps some
Happy New Year Lori! Love the grungy tag you created ♥
@laineygardner5211 Thank you Lainey. Happy New Year! I have been thinking of you.
Great tags, Lori. Love the layers especially on the first tag. You’re definitely off to a brilliant start. Hugs C xx
@@oakhousejournals Thanks so much Carol I appreciate you.
Beautifully done, Lori! Great idea to put them all in a book. I love having the prompts on one side and the collage on the other. I always like to go back, read the prompts and pick out how they are used in a collage. And each of your collages is just great! Thanks so sharing! -Trudy Love Tantalo
@@JournalJourneys51 Thank you so much ❤️
🙂
Thank you my friend. Happy New Year. Hope you are doing well
Oh my goodness, Lori your new challenge sounds amazing. I'd love to commit to all twelve tags but the house move isn't going to let me, I'm afraid. BUT I will dip in when I can. I'll certainly be watching as I need all the help I can get creating 'grungy' anything ! Big hugs and good luck. C xx
Thanks so much Carol. I appreciate your support. Big hugs
Nice hints on the folding. This is fun. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it this. They really are fun make.
Interesting as always. You've inspired me to join your challenge. Looking forward to it.
Thank you so much my friend. I look forward to your creations.
I learnt from someone else, you get cracking in your card stock when you fold against the grain..
That is very true. Thanks.
Interesting video. Some feedback, it's really difficult to hear your voice, although the ripping paper comes across loud and clear 😂. Also, it seems as if you're talking to yourself rather than me as the watcher/listener...very little explanation as to what you were doing and why. Lastly, its a very long video for just 2 clusters, and then they weren't finished. You might want to speed up parts of your video to include the finishing in, or just shorten the video. Hope you don't mind the feedback... I've watched countless videos of this type and this is stuff your competition is doing. I know videoing isn't easy, hence why i don't do it 😊 but if you want to grow your channel and retain your subscribers, then this advice should be useful. Good luck ❤
Thanks so much for the input. I appreciate it and I will work on my shortcomings.
Hi, I found your channel last night and watched this video. I just made 55 grungy tags last week for a series I am starting in January, and I'd love to continue making more for your challenge! 🤩
Thanks so much, I am happy to have you joining in.
I love prompts!
Thanks Kathy, I look forward to you joining in.
Love this idea. I have missed your monthly tags on etsy!
Thank you so much. Those tag kits were really fun.
It sounds like a fun challenge. I don't do a lot of grunge. But I might follow along just for the inspiration. I hope you had a great Christmas and Happy New Year Lori
Thanks Juanette. Join in and do an ungrungy version. All are welcome. Your Christmas looked fun and I wish you a very Happy New Year. Our Christmas was quiet but good. Planning a fun dinner with friends for New Years.
Watercolor crayons and watercolor pencils would qualify. You need to be bold with your paint! You could doodle in the dead spaces!
Thanks Kathy! I wasn't feeling really bold with this challenge, lol. I will keep that in mind for next time. 😊
🙋♀️👍🤗🇺🇸
Thank you
Beautiful Lori ❤
@enchanteddreams7166 Thank You Lorie
I really like the little kit you've put together - especially the inclusion of the TSA compliant scissors and the little pocket full of stickers, stamps, and other bits. Nice job.
@@swyeth3-r5v Thank you so much
Lori, I love your folded tree and collage.
@@swyeth3-r5v Thank you so much
Cute bunny!
Thanks Kathy, it was gorgeous in person.
I love your gold leaf!
Thanks Kathy, me too! I thought it was just the thing for this collage.
Great idea for coupons and recipes ❤
@lindamorgan9420 Yes, thank you these are great ideas
Snow is great unless its too much snow!
@@kathyreuter6259 That's true!
These are very pretty. Love them!
Thanks you so much
These round hidden paperclips are adorable. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching
Your travel kit is brilliant. I love that little card ephemera holder. Just wonderful and I’m so glad you mentioned those scissors are psa compliant
Thanks so much Dorothy, I appreciate your support

Thanks so much!

Nice finds!!!! Thanks for sharing!
@vernmcdaniel395 Thanks Vernie!
Lovely video 😊
@@loveforpaper6203 Thank you
You really found some good stuff there Lori.
They were both really good sales. Thanks Juanette.
well done.
@@quin073179 thank you
Looks good! You need to put an identifying mark on your new bag just in case it gets misplaced . You can ask if anyone has seen a small zipper bag with a "XXX" on it. For me, it would be a flower.
That is a good idea. I will look for an interesting charm to add to mine. Thanks so much Kathy.
Thank you for sharing your bag with us! I loved seeing all the things that you carry with you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for requesting this video. It was really helpful for me, getting more organized is a good thing.
Thank you for making this video! I don’t have a travel kit, but you’ve inspired me!
Thank you so much my friend. Just a few things and it's a nice break on a trip.
These are nice tags!tfs! Blessings!💕
Thank you so much
I like this design. TY for bringing it to us🙂
Thank you so much my friend
Love these 😍
@@1969mrsdebbie Thank you
I’ve always wanted to go to Maine, maybe someday. I love the goodies you found. Thank you for sharing!
Maine had been on my list for many years. I hope you get there, it is worth it, so beautiful. Thanks so much.
Great haul!I absolutely loved the farmers almanac. ❤ also, I would love to see what kind of collage things you take with you when you travel.
Thank you. My husband always spots the best stuff. Okay, I will do a video and show what I take with me. I am working on a plan to streamline it some. It's grown a bit over the last year.
@ can’t wait to see it! ❤️
@@Stephanie_Robin I will try to get that done this week--the current version anyway.
Yes! I always like to see the fun things my crafty friends find!!’ Thanks for sharing!
@mariannespmmissouri1913 Thank you so much my 🧡
