"Mum's Journal Challenge 3"

Hello there,

How is your week going?  

Not too bad here, but been very wet and cold over the weekend. I stayed indoors as much as I could :) 

I have been progressing with some more pages of mum's journal with the next Mini Challenge in the group. Another six pages of making some more space for photos and journaling plus some pockets etc for extras.


I made a large pocket on the left to house one of the large tags I made and then I left the other side for photos or ephemera as I work in the journal.



I wanted to add something to record the endless cuppas and talks mum and I used to have. I decoupaged some teacups onto the coffee dyed paper then made an extra journaling/photo space.



Another couple of pockets with tags.  The one on the right is a double pocket. I made the transparent one on the front from some baking paper and sewed it onto the front of the napkin one.



A pretty plain one with some stencilling on the left and a tuck spot with a large pocket underneath, on the right.



I had a small paper gift bag and I used it for an extra pocket on the left. I added some pattern paper and a ruffle down the side. Some subtle stencilling on the right.



For the last one, I made two corner tucks for photos/ journaling and a bit of embellishment. The left one is just some paper and stamping.
Thanks for stopping by and having a peek at my journal. I hope you might get a few ideas to try also. Feel free to join the Junk Journals For Everone Group on FaceBook and Dive into the Big Chomp Challenge. The ladies are creating some lovely work and great challenges for the beginner or the advanced journal maker!!

"One Little Word - 2022"

 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

"Journal Ephemera Storage"

Image
 Gday Everyone I am back with a little project I started a week ago and in between my shift work, I have managed to finish and start using it.  If you are like me, my Junk Journal Ephemera (die cuts, doilies, tags, journal cards, etc) is never sorted and where I can find things when I want to add them to my journal or make something..... I have tried endless ways to store it and have tried zip lock bags, containers, baskets etc, but nothing really works. I am always wasting time looking and it becomes a mess... I decided to do something about it and get it more organised and user-friendly by making a journal and folios to house it all in and divided it into categories. To start, I knew I wanted to use different papers from my scrap box and use them to collage......Music sheet, book pages, scrapbook paper, ledger paper, gift wrap, lined paper, all sorts to create some texture.   I am using my stash and I didn't buy anything for this project...... I cut down some file folders I had t

Lets Get Started - What Is A Junk journal?

Image
 Hi Friends, I thought the best place to start is to tell you a bit about Junk Journals. ...I talk a lot about my Junk Journals but sometimes I think my friends and blog followers don't quite get what all the hype is about :)  The official definition is  -  Junk Journal: A book that is often made through found and recycled materials to be used as a way to collect and record memories, thoughts, ideas, and inspiration. Basically a "Junk Journal" is a journal you can use for anything you want it to be and made out of anything also. I like using old book covers, making my own covers and upcycling cardboard packaging.  It can be made of as many or as few recycled pages/materials as you want.  There are many uses for a Junk Journal:  Everday Journal, Planner, Art Journaling and Mixed Media, Memory Keeping, a Gift, a Themed book, like Xmas and a Glue Book.  The best part is there are no rules and you use them for what You want!!! I have been playing around and creating Junk J
