More Journaling Fun ~ Vintage Style Junk Journals.

I love junk journals! They originally came about as a way of using up junk paper, like old mail, packaging etc, but the concept has developed into journals that are full of lots of beautiful inserts, tuck spots, and lots of interest. I love the creativity involved in creating these journals and the fact that each one is unique and has had so much thought poured into it.

I've started a You Tube channel!.. and guess what the current focus is, ...junk journals of course!
I made a vintage style junk journal with tea dyed papers and with tea as the main theme. So all the added design papers are tea themed and I've even used emptied out tea bags as decoration. I sewed lots of lace trim to the pages, it's really pretty.

I also made another vintage style journal with birds and roses as a theme. This junk journal was more true to its name as I used some old amazon packaging for the cover, onto which I collaged lots of pretty papers and varnished with mod podge to make it more durable.
There is also lots of stitching in this journal.

There is also a speeded up process video for this journal. You can view this on my Instagram page.

Both of the journals in this post are listed in my Etsy Shop.
Hope you've enjoyed the glimpses into my recent creative ventures.
Much love.
