Let’s make beautiful DIY altered index & journal cards with a zero dollar budget! In this junk journal tutorial, we are scrap busting by using only old magazine, scraps, and newspaper layers to create unique collage pocket cards, and handmade tabs. This is the perfect paper crafting project if you want to use up your paper stash and make unique journal ephemera without spending a dime!
