    Shabby Chic Mini File Folder Junk Journals

    August 16, 2019 /

    Three shabby chic vintage file folders created in an afternoon! What a great time I had putting these little cuties together! It all came together when I had a few hours open, but didn’t want to embark on a large project. I wanted something that was easy and would use up some of my paper scraps. Since the mini 5×7″ file folders were a neutral creme and black color, I decided to continue with those colors. All of my papers were laid out and cut to relatively the same size when folded in half. Here are pictures of the three finished journals. The interiors of each journal are very similar…

    The Workbasket-Shabby Chic Fashion Ladies Junk Journal

    August 13, 2019 /

    The Workbasket– what is that? A homemaker arts magazine from the 1960’s. This shabby chic fabric and paper journal was inspired by a copy I picked up at a thrift store. The image of the beautiful lady on the front cover was from one of the pages inside. I love to look at these magazines and see how times have changed! The cover was put together using a method entitled “fabric paper or paper fabric”. The YouTube I watched was by Ronda Winstead. Definitely check it out. The process is fun and easy! All pages were constructed before attaching them to the spine. I started with a piece of neutral…

    Vintage 1940’s evening dress – re purposed

    August 9, 2019 /

    I have to admit, I have a hard time passing up a Goodwill sale. In my area, they happen every other Saturday. It seems that every time I make it to one of these sales, I find something (or a lot of somethings) to be thrilled about. I did have a focus for this goodwill excursion: to find laces and trim for a journal I am making. You really can get a lot for the money looking at clothing to use in your projects rather than going to the craft store. Agreeably, it may be difficult if you are looking for something specific I agree, that is why I will…

    Embellished Vintage File Folder Junk Journal

    August 5, 2019 /

    This embellished vintage file folder junk journal was inspired by the beautiful woman I cut out of a magazine. At the time I didn’t know what I was going to make with her, but I knew the idea would come to me sooner or later. One day I decided to use up a bunch of manila file folders I had lying around. There were a total of 8 regular size folders which I cut in half lengthwise. Make any width and length you want your journal to be. Once my pieces were folded in half, they measured approximately 4 1/2 x 4 1/2″. The construction of this journal was relatively…

    Jeweled Decoupage Mini Altered Box

    July 29, 2019 /

    This decoupage altered box started out as a plain container for a wheel of cheese! Using mod podge matte, I decoupaged craft paper to the interior and exterior of the base and lid of the container and then I did the same for the sides. Any excess paper was easy to cut off once dry. I used an exacto knife to get clean edges. The craft paper was from the Modern Millinery Signature paper collection. This pack of double sided craft paper was purchased at Wal-Mart. They have some great options that are reasonably priced. Once the paper dried, the decorations were easy to apply using E6000. Various fabric scraps,…

    Beautiful Burgundy Botanical Fabric Vintage Junk Journal

    July 19, 2019 /

    This vintage junk journal beauty was inspired by the burgundy fabric I picked up at a thrift store. It ended up being quite large, due to all the embellishments and ephemera I included. But hey, I am of the mindset the more the better! I started with 6 8×10″ pages of thick neutral colored card stock, then took the burgundy floral fabric and cut 2 pieces that also measured 8×10″ (for the front and back covers). Next, I pulled out various lace, fabric and craft paper pieces and cut them to approximately the same dimensions, until I had 10 total (using mostly cream and off white lace/fabric for this part).…

    Vintage Shabby Chic Mixed Media Canvas Collage

    July 17, 2019 /

    I had a blank 8×10″ canvas lying around….. what to do with it? Start a mixed media collage of course! I didn’t have any specific idea in mind, so I looked around a my scrap papers and pulled some out. The color scheme just seemed to come together. Orange and Green. Maybe it was because it was springtime. I have learned through trial and error, to start the BOTTOM layer first. In previous collages, I had attached the 3 dimensional pieces first and then tried to finish the background by painting around them. Lets just say that didn’t work for me. Build from the bottom layer up! That’s what I…

    Gorgeous Vintage Lace Junk Journal Grocery Bag

    July 14, 2019 /

    I constructed the cover by taking a large white paper bag and cutting it down to 10 inches wide (this includes two 4 inch covers and a 2 inch spine) and 8 inches high. I watched lots of you tube tutorials and adapted them to end up with this result. Next, I put together my signatures by picking out papers with a neutral color scheme (this was difficult for me as I LOVE COLOR). Each paper measured approximately 8 x 10″. I folded each in half to compose the signatures. I varied the placement, size and texture of each page for interest. I threw in various doilies, a file folder,…

    Corrugated Cardboard Cutie Junk Journal

    June 27, 2019 /

    My first post! Woohoo! I chose to feature this little 5″ x 7″ gem because it was quick and easy to put together using fabric scraps, cardboard, vintage jewelry/buttons and coffee dyed papers. A total of 24 various pages of scrapbook leftovers I had in my “stash” including lots of blank pages for journaling that are finished off with a little “glitter and glam” bling. The journal is secured with two 1 inch ring binder loops. I started by sewing my fabric pieces randomly by hand along the left side of my 2 cardboard scraps on both the front and back covers. I like to overlap and scrunch the various…
