Well, I've tried something new once again. This time, I've made my very first Junk Journal.
So far, I've gotten just the basics put together and I will eventually add more "Junk" to it to bulk it up and make it look even better and I'll finish decorating the cover when it's completed. I used two pieces of chipboard for the front and back covers, which I covered in scrapbook paper also. The Journal measures 6 x 9 which is a perfect size and allows me to make two pages from a 12 x 12 piece of scrapbook paper.
I stuck with my usual theme of using papers that have sort of a vintage look to them and I used distress ink on all the edges to make them look a bit older than they really are.
So here's what I have so far...
I know that's a lot of pictures, but I hope you enjoyed seeing the bones of my Junk Journal and that maybe I've even given you an idea or two to create something similar.
Back to the craft room I go. See you again soon!!
