Hello & Welcome

 Hello Friends,

Welcome to my new Blog - Junk Journal Girl......

My name is Kerri and I live in country Victoria, Australia.....2 Hrs from Melbourne, 15 Mins to the Otway State Forrest and 45 mins to the Great Ocean Road. I think we are very lucky to live in this beautiful part of the world!!

 I hope you are all doing well in these weird Covid times...  I am a Disability Support Worker and I have worked all through Covid.  I have two grown sons who are my world and a very crazy cat!!  I have been blogging for quite a while on and off. I tried FB but it does not give me the freedom to write my posts as I want, so I decided to make a new blog.  

I love Blogging and all things papercraft, plus making and using Junk Journals. I love the process of using an abandoned old book/or recycling packaging and breathing new life into it.....I use my journals for many things, like art, memory keeping, glue books, as a planner, ideas book........anything you like. I also like making Artist Trading Cards, Memory Keeping, Altered Playing Cards, Art Journaling and Mixed Media.....
I hope you keep popping back in and checking out all the different projects and tutorials that I create for you :)
Please feel welcome to leave me a comment or ask me any questions about my journals :)

"One Little Word - 2022"

Image
 Hi Friends, I hope you are all well and things are good in your part of the world!!! I  had a bit of a spill, last Thursday morning at work. I hit the right side of my face, shoulder, elbow, arm, ribs, etc.....I wasn't rushing, just doing my job and it just happened.....  I am very bruised and sore, so off work for a week. Luckily this time, I didn't break anything and I am healing.  "The older you are the longer your body takes to recover"  Anyway.........This is keeping me pretty quiet, which is probably a good thing. I have been able to think about 2022 a bit and my "One Little Word" for the New Year. If you don't know what this is check out this blog by Ali Edwards who started it all in 2006........  "HERE" I don't bother with resolutions as they bore me. I choose a word to carry with during the year, that I can use in my daily life..........  I may not do something with it every day but that is ok. I do what I feel like doing. So...

"Pj Day & My New Craft Space"

Image
 Hi Everyone, I hope you had a great week and the weekend is going well........ I am having a Pj day and a play in my new Craft Space :)  Probably like a lot of crafters out there.......when my boys were younger and home with me, I always used a part of the living room or the kitchen, for my scrapbooking and craft. I started off with one table, a small book case and basic tools, when I first started scrapbooking 20 years ago.  I have slowly built up my stash and it hasn't cost me a fortune, as I have recycled and bought the right pieces for my space. My boys have settled nicely into their home now and are getting on well. They both moved out when they were ready and I never pressured them.  Things happen and the right time eventually came. I loved having them at home, but it is also a new chapter for me with them leaving the nest...... So.......... after a few weeks of condensing, destashing, re-arranging, cleaning, sorting and moving in, my craft room is finally the...

Mums Journal - Challenge 4"

Image
 Hello There, It is Thursday evening here in Victoria Australia, as we go into another 5-day lockdown!!!!! I think we are all over it but oh well!!!! Nothing really changes that much for us as we are Essential Workers...... After work this afternoon, I had a go at the Mini Chomp #4 which was to make two small notebooks to go into your journal..... These were fun to make and came together quickly, which if you know me, is a good thing :)  I folded some 6.5" square pattern paper in half and just stapled them with my long stapler. One of my most used tools. I just made a little collage on the front of them to embellish, using scraps on my desk. A few of the pages are above to show how I am going to use them in mum's journal. I used lightish pattern papers that could be written on and I also added some stamping, a few journal cards, and a couple of flip out pages to add extra photos or journaling.  The Junk Journaling for Everyone Group on FB is very friendly and helpful. I a...
