Spooky Junk Journal

 

I made a junk journal type book for a friend out of recycled used envelopes.

These are the first couple of pages.

I tried to keep it fairly light hearted and not as gruesome as it could have been. 

Some of the pages are really plain, but room has been left for journaling.

I incorporates some die cuts and some resin mould pieces.

I didn't want to make it too bulky as I didn't put a closure on it.

These two pages house some tags.

And this is the right page with the tags removed.

These are the middle pages.

The envelope pocket flips out on the right page.

And there are 3 tags / journaling cards in the pocket.

These are my favourite two pages.

This is a double spread page with a piece of white netting between the pages.

The netting is covering the left page in this photo, it's very subtle, but a nice effect.

Again very plain pages, but writing space if needed.

Nearly there.

The back inside cover has a pouch with a tag in it.

There is another pouch on the back of the above tag which houses a journaling card.

And finally, this is the back cover.

This is the removable tassel that is attached to the spine with a safety pin.

I hope she likes it as this was part of a 9 day course I am enrolled on with Anna aka Finnabair.

Window Envelope Pocket Tag Holder

I created another pocket tag holder for my oriental book. This time I used a window envelope.

And when you pull the tag out on the left hand side you can see the window and what's underneath it.

And on the right hand side I created another pocket to house a s trip of tickets.

The long tag and the tickets.

And there is also room to slot a tag in at the top.

Envelope Pocket Tag Holder

Made a tag pocket from a recycled envelope.

This is where the tag pulls out the pocket at the top.

Pocket without the tag inside.

The hidden tag and the elephant tag from the pocket.

And the backs.

And then I decided to round the corners and add something else to the tag. So this is what they look like now.

I am thinking of adding them to some of the pages in the oriental book that I previously made.

Vintage Tag & Postcard Book

Front and back.

Inside with everything inserted.

Tags out of their pockets.

Postcards pulled out of the side pockets.

Postcards with tabs and tags.

Backs, yes I know they are flowers but you won't see them, they are covering the pizza box up - lol.

Fully opened out. All made from recycled or scraps.

A WIP - Recycled Envelopes

A WIP created from two recycled envelopes, card and paper scraps.  Just need to make the tags and cards to go inside and cover the outside covers.

Accordion Wallet

Watched a couple of youtube videos and decided to have a go myself. 

The back cover.

The inside flap strengthened with the duct tape and to cover the back of the brad.

The accordion part using the recycled envelopes.

The bottoms of the envelopes again lined with duct tape for added strength.

Black & White ATC's

Firstly created a masterboard, cut it into six.  Die cut the hearts and butterflies. Covered them in silver sticky tape and embossed them. Painted them black and dry brushed in silver.  Added an eyelet and threaded black and white beads onto the contrasting threads.  Added lace, sequins, pearls, mini hearts, mounted words.

Junk Journal

Front cover of a junk journal that I've made. The hard back book cover is covered in fabrics and stamped images. 

This is the inside of the front cover and the first page.

Some of the recycled envelopes have windows which is quite useful.

Strips of fabric have been sewn down the edges of some pages.

Some of the pages are from magazines.

Map pages have also been included in the journal.

Fabric stamped images are also incorporated on some pages.

Some images were stamped on magazine papers and cut out.
