It has taken me months to get to this stage……….. to summon up the courage to make the cover for my green foliage themed junk journal. It is an unusual cover to go with the unusual signature (pages) I created. I have used fabric as I think it will be more robust than paper

Continue readingI’m excited to show you how I utilize my master board to create unique ephemera for my junk journals. If you’re looking for junk journal inspiration, you’re in the right place. Using a master board to create junk journal ephemera is a great way to add unique and personalized touches to your paper crafting projects. In the accompanying video I share how I made 6 different tags, however once I turned the camera off I still had enough supplies to make 6 more tags!

This is the most perfect way of using up paper scraps and introducing some other media as well. Most of the paper pieces were torn with the aid of a steel ruler, others used the cut edges.

Continue readingAs I said in my video, gift tags are always the last thing I remember to get at this time of year and when I go looking last minute there is very little choice left if any at all!
