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
and added randomly...
Some pages needed more than others.
After this I added some lovely lacey rub-ons from
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
