My Persoanl Junk Journal

Good Morning All

I made an altered book Junk Journal following Craftyirenas You Tube video a good while ago.

And just lately I have been watching ArtyMaze, Joanna Clough and Yvonne Preston , so I decided to try and complete it bit by bit, page by page.

Joanna Clough is doing a great series of videos on how she fills in her journals, very interesting and very random.

So yesterday I decorated the front and back.

I first covered the whole outside in brown felt.

I used  a large cream doily.

A vintage image of a lady.

The watch face and the heart were gifted to me in a swap.

I stuck a small doily with a gem over where the ribbon and lace closure is.

This is the spine with afew dangle charms and glass beads.

I am going to do each page as I want to write in them.

So this is the inside cover.
It really is going to be made from junk and scraps.

This tag is a piece left over from  when i was using JND Media plates, I used to run the brayer over.


I made a tuck from a couple of pieces of patterned Mirri card and a piece of the doily used for the front cover

I cut these two cups and saucers from a scrap and glued to hide the title of the book I used.

The card is from a swap, which I thought was pretty.

The lady wrote inside it and I wanted to keep that and be able to read it so I tied it to the spine with twine.

As the pages of the book are glued as per Craftyirenas video, there are tucks spots in between each one.

I covered this page with scraps of nice paper from my rubbish bag.

I used the blue piece as it was larger, as a fold-over for more private thoughts.

I cut words out that I glued on as part of my writing.

I,m hoping this will help me put things down on paper and out of my head.
