In today’s video, I’m kicking off a brand new junk journal series — this time I’m creating a traveler’s style journal using elastic binding for three signatures! I’m working with a gorgeous digital paper collection that was kindly given to me for free by a talented Etsy designer, @michellereesedesigns
In this first video, I’m getting the cover ready (front, back, and inside) and setting up the elastic binding to hold the signatures in place. I’ll be using more pieces from this same digital bundle in upcoming videos, where I’ll decorate and build out the journal even further — so stay tuned for those next parts!
You can find this beautiful digital paper set and the designer here:
