I started a new craft this year, making junk journals. Although I started working with polymer clay about 1 1/2 years ago, I don't want to quit working with clay, but I'm truly loving making junk journals and the stuff that goes in them. I'll post a few pictures showing a few pages from the latest two I've made (one for my mom and one for my daughter). I used a bunch of different printables from various artists and I'll try to provide the name of those artists, but I actually lost track of where I got everything before I finished. The artists can all be found on Etsy.
I used the same printable for the covers of both journals. The printable came from Pink Garden Collage Pages by Megan at Compass and Ink. Inside I used various printables from Mrs. Cog, Artymaze, The Paper Outpost, My Porch Prints, Roxy Creations, Vectoria Designs, Love Junk Journals, The Olde Design Shop, Taylor Made Journals, and maybe a few others I forgot to jot down. Some of the collaging included book pages, dictionary pages, and some pages from one of Edith Holden's books.
The page below includes a part of a page from Edith Holden's "The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady."
The picture below is one taken of my mom when she was about 19 or 20 while living in Alaska.
The back of each card or tag is left blank to provide room for journaling.
This is showing one of the flip-out pages I created within the journal. I love the flippy pages.
I used a three-hole pamphlet stitch, but as you can see, it's a bit wonkie! Oh well, this was my first time and it does work.
Love the sori silk used to tie it closed.
