Got Junk? Then Journal...

Junk Journaling is a thing, and can be a massive undertaking,

but sometimes we just need a little project to fulfill our crafting "NEED"

For my CRAFTING FROM THE HEART DT project this month

I chose to play with a single sheet of double-sided scrapbook paper

from Graphics45 called "Ephemera Queen"

and created this "mini" journal

First I took the 12x12 sheet of playing cards and 

cut it into 3 horizontal strips

leaving tabs on the ends to connect them with,

before folding in a concertina fashion.

Next I "closed up" and glued the folds together to 

make "pages", adding an outer strip of paper to 

form a re-enforcing spine.

Now I had a mini book waiting for the addition

of scraps and more.

I chose some free papers from 

Free Junk Journal Printables

and added randomly... 

Some pages needed more than others.

After this I added some lovely lacey rub-ons from

Creative Expressions "Sam Poole Collection"

The beauty of rub-ons and junk journaling is that there is no

worry about imperfections 

I hope my post might take away some of the fear often

felt when attempting a journaling project,

and I would love to see your more unusual crafty projects
