From sweet illustrations and bold vintage colors to perfectly imperfect paper, these pages are made for cutting, layering, and storytelling. In this video, I’ll share how I turn vintage color-by-number pages into tags, pockets, journaling cards, and more—without overthinking it.
If you love using what you have, repurposing vintage finds, and creating journals that feel nostalgic and one-of-a-kind, you’re going to love this one.

![One Cookbook. Two Journals. Endless Ephemera!
What happens when a junk journal maker gets hold of a retro cookbook?
In today’s project, I’m transforming ONE vintage-style cookbook into TWO handmade journals plus piles of coordinating ephemera, embellishments, pockets, tags, journal cards, and more.
If you love junk journaling, paper crafting, upcycling books, and finding creative possibilities in unexpected places, this project is packed with inspiration.
Remember… the rules are there are no rules!
