Victorian Junk Journal

23 Nov 2016

My newest obsession.........

I have been going crazy the last few month, work has been beyond thrilling, but super busy. But sometimes I get so busy, I just can't work, I know it sounds crazy but I feel like I need to take a break from the day to day so that I can catch my breath and re-focus my energy on my art, so that I can provide my clients with the best service possible.

So in one of my moments of re-grouping, I was trolling YouTube and came across these gorgeous creations, Junk Journals, can I just say WOW! I don't know why I didn't think of that myself, but Im glad someone did.  I was so inspired by what I saw, and being a journal junkie myself, I started watching more videos and next thing you know I am making them myself. Can I just say, this new adventure has been so energizing and beyond therapeutic, I love making these one of a kind books.

Over the next few days (possibly weeks) I will share my designs with you, and link them to my etsy shop.

So lets get started, this is the 3rd book I made, the first two were sold before I was even finished, so exciting!  I created the book from scratch, using chipboard for the covers, I added coffee dyed paper, tons of pockets, handmade envelopes and ribbon through out the book.

This beauty sold last week, but do take a look at the photos and let me know what you think.








I seriously enjoy making these and I will share more photos with you over the next few days or weeks. I am currently working on 3 new ones. It is great!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
