For the letter N this week, we focus on junk journal NECESSITIES and NICETIES – along with a few things I NEVER use!
I’m very much a use-what-you-have sort of crafter, so I really recommend – especially if you’re just starting out – that you keep your supplies to a minimum and push yourself to creatively use things like junk mail that are probably already in your life. There’s plenty of time to build on your crafting options later, but as for what you actually NEED – the list is pretty short!
The day after I filmed this, I saw a wonderful video by my friend @julietorrens who is making a junk journal using this same basic approach. I told Julie we must occupy two parts of the same crafty brain, because we think so much alike! Her video is wonderful and I hope you check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=OiPHIw7hMiQ&t=4402s
And check out ArielArtGiftStudio in the UK for great custom stamps! etsy.com/shop/ArielArtGiftStudio?ref=shop_sugg_market
What was your N project? Let me know!
