"Stash Buster Challenge Journal - Finished"

 Hello Everyone

Hoping you are all safe and well... I am pretty busy with work and at the moment we are out of lockdown...


The Stashbuster Journal Challenge is now finished and I have completed the challenges required. I will still add things to it and fill it up more. I think I could use it as a garden journal as it is rose/garden themed. I used Antique Rose and Antique Garden, Digital kits from the group and they are beautiful.......I used different parts of the kits that I printed out. I also used papers etc through my journal, with lots from my stash!!!!

This is my 11 x 7 " chunky journal. In front of it is a writing board I made to use, to have a sturdy surface to write, stamp etc.


There is lots of space to add 'stuff' too and I made the closure with eyelets and some fringe trim. I used the same eyelets, on the top and bottom of the spine and used the same trim to bind the pages into it. 

Above, you can see I threaded each one separately and tied them on the outside. I then put each signature under the trim to bind it in. The fun of this binding is it isn't permanent and I can add more pages and take them out to work on.









These pages show the elements that I made for the journal. Lots of pockets tucks, altered envelopes, etc. It has about 100 pages of different papers in it. Lots of space to add 'stuff' too................

This was a great challenge for me to get into my stash and use some of it........ If you are like me, you have way too much lol......
Thanks for having a look at this fun project I completed and I would love to hear your thoughts on it :)

Stay safe

"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

"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
