Junk Journal kit from Slovenia

This is the video of my first Junk Journal kit that I bought in March and I just received it.  It came all the way from Slovenia.  The description said that it was vintage materials from the 1900's and that some of it was Avocado dyed.  I was not disappointed at all.  I loved all of it.

 

You can see everything that I got here!

Just A Tag For My Junk Journal

Here is a tag that I made using the bottom of my box of beads that I got at Hobby Lobby.  I used a free printable from Calico Collage and cut the ruler out.  I applied it to the left side and then applied the paper on the right which was also a free printable.  The paper on the right did not go all the way to the bottom.  I did sponge all the edges of the paper as well as the edges of the tag itself with CTMH Chocolate ink.   It sat on my desk all day and part of the next one, because I could not figure out what to do next.  

My Birthday was coming up in a couple of days and a friend gave me a gift and told me to open it later on.  After I got home I  opened the gift and found a cute mug for my morning Tea.  The mug was wrapped in a beautiful tissue paper that you can see in the photo.  I almost screamed when I saw it, Love when that happens.  I knew instantly that I would use it on my tag.  I tore off a piece and put in in the open spot at the bottom of the tag.  It was bigger than I needed so I tore off more.  I sponged the edges with the CTMH Chocolate ink then I glued the bottom edge and left the top open for a little tuck spot.  

I too the other piece of the tissue paper that I had left and put some glue on the center Rt side, then tore it off on the edge.  I thought it ended up looking like half of a dress form and I liked how it looked.

It still needed something so I added a piece to the top left.  I really like how it was coming together.   

Then I pulled out some lace and a roll of burlap ribbon and used it on the top of the tag in the hole.  It was a bit to long so I cut of a little hunk.  I liked how the little hunk that was left so I placed it down the edge of the ruler and put a dab of glue and stuck it down.
It still needed a bit of something.  I had 5 little roses sitting out that were each different colors and found that the Peach one looked the best.  I then cut out the tickets from the same free printable and tucked them in the little pocket at the bottom

Cant wait for you to see it when I do my final Walk Through!

My First Junk Journal Walk Through

Here is my video of my first Junk Journal all sewed together.  I am not done yet but it was together enough for me to take to my Close To My Heart convention in Las Vegas.   I loved using it.  It turned out better than I thought it would.  Take a look and let me know what you think.

Junk Journal Tuck Spots (it's a work in progress)

Today I am cutting out all kinds of Tuck spots for my Junk Journal.  I am using my Pretty Pennants Cricut cartridge and cutting out everything I think would make a cute tuck spot.  I won't use them all in one signature but I will have plenty to choose from.  I will not leave them plain either (my mind is spinning at all the possibilities).   Not sure if I will coffee dye these but I will grunge them up a bit. 

Here is the first mat.  I used CTMH Nutmeg but the lighting sure makes it lighter.  The true color shows better in the 2nd photo.

 These are all the tops and a better example of the CTMH Nutmeg.  I am going to have fun with these.  The Celebrate at the bottom was just because I liked it.  But you never know where it might show up at, in, or on.  LOL!

Here they are shown with the backs and I chose CTMH Almond for that.  Now you see the Celebrate better in this one.  Now I have plenty to chose from.  I can use them as pockets or tuck spots.  I made them in several sizes so that should work too. 

Thanks for stopping by to see my progress.

My First Junk Journal

I told you in the previous post that I was starting something new to me.  It's a Junk Journal! I know that lots of you have already made at least one of the them but I have not.  I have always loved the idea of a junk journal but I have never just done it.  Well that day has come.
I wanted to start collecting what I needed first.  I also wanted to try my hand at coffee  dyeing.  Little did I know that I would love this so much.  I am coffee dyeing just about everything.  LOL!
I was at Staples and I always check the sale bins. You never know what you are going to find.  I found an clear plastic accordion file folder that was $4.00 (Score)!  I am using it to put everything that I have coffee dyed.  That way everything is one place!  Such a novel idea... 
Here is my video that will show you what I have got so far!  Grab your favorite beverage and join me.

Let me know if you have made one or would like to make one along with me.
