To Junk Journal, there is no “one size fits all” definition for what a junk journal really is. Junk journals can vary from person to person, country to country, but how wonderful when we can share!
Friendship is special no matter how many miles are between us. And I appreciate the friendship from Canny.
Thank you for visiting!

A friend asked me to make one for his granddaughter who is graduating. I made two so he could choose the one he likes.
If you would please view both videos and add comments, that will be greatly appreciated.

My friend asked me to make this for her friend BUT she ended up purchasing another one. So this is available.
I did struggle with the binding of six mini-journals into one. I did find from one of my favorite channels: youtube.com/@cannycrafter1405 had a video where she used ring binders and I immediately thought that was the answer. BUT I didn’t have big enough ring binders to use.
Canny Craft has the most creative ideas and I invite you to watch her video and become a subscriber.

This junk journal was fun to make becuase it was from a marketing brochure / magazine from a vendor in the mall. It had 10 pages, so I knew immediately I wanted to recreate it into a Junk Journal.

I think what I love best about making Junk Journals is that I am reusing beautiful material to create another amazing one-of-a-kind new journal. It is a joy to gather a variety of left-over greeting cards, junk mail, and any type of mixed media and immediately wonder what I am going to make.
More importantly, I love when someone likes what I created and will purchase from me. Honestly, It is an honor each and every time!

The hardest part of my channel is video taping. An expertise I do not have. However, Cranny Crafter youtube.com/watch?v=2o8yaSFr6ak&t=1s motivated me to get this video out. I appreciate her support and value the creativity of us "creative minded individuals". It is great to support each other and I want to share her channel. Please take the time to view her amazing creations!
It is always tough to take apart an old book, especially a Reader's Digest, but sometimes your creative self is calling.
The inside pages are are vintage and are used as background to some pages. I also used to make bookmarks for a Craft Fair.
Here are a couple of videos that I shared Echo Prints

I used true SWAG material from draperies I was making. The material is used for the cover and a pocket and a layout design inside this Junk Journal. I like to call all of my extra material in my craft room SWAG. My hope is to use this SWAG in some creative fashion.
Thank you. Gina

After I printed, I re-colored each card so each card can look like new.
The inside of the cards are blank to add your special message and each card is approximately 5 ½” x 4”.

The cover comes from a Minute Made box and the inside signature pages are from a variety of cereal boxes. The best chip board paper to use. I used old sheet music pages as a collage for the back ground and painted the inside pages with acrylic paint.

This was my first time making these cool strawberry hats. I looked in YouTube and Pinterest and just couldn't find one that looked like a strawberry. So thank you to my sister Trish who, after viewing a picture of a strawberry, she helped me creative these hats. I did follow a video on the base of the hat and for the flowers and butterflies that I added. Thank goodness for the creative YouTube Crochet Experts.

These tags were made from clothing price tags. So many of them are strong chip board and what a perfectly imperfect way to make into tags for junk journals or any scrapbook.
The tags are different sizes for a variety to fit any journal. I used left over scrap paper…I don’t like to throw away anything. And those who craft know what I mean when you have extra scrap paper after you cut for another project.
I also like to keep the theme of the scrap paper The final touches are the eyelets with ribbon from old greeting card.
You can say that this is a true finished product of recycled materials. There is a total of eight quality made tags.
Please add comments and it will mean a lot to me if you LIKE and SUBCRIBE.
