Hi Chris, I 100% would keep the wrapping / packing paper! It is perfect for making a junk journal! Great find! How interesting what the stuffing was made of! Just wonderful that you found art work when you were 9 years old! I love that! Look forward to the next steps with designing this journal! XO Gina

A suggestion. When searching for items, edit that process out of the video. The actual work you do after you get what you want to use is interesting. Looking at a sped up video of things being taken from and then replaced into a box is not interesting. Also, for myself, when I do a collage in this manner, if I come across a prompt that makes no sense in partnership with other prompts, I replace it with a new one. I want to make something I like, not something that defies logic. These collage games like this are helpful in getting us to think about what we choose to include and the manner by which we relate one prompt to another. But, if a prompt is so far out of line with the others, I don't think the world will end if we substitute something else in order to make a collage that is pleasing to the eye rather than something that is merely absurd looking. By the way, I did a couple of collages using Ceri's approach and they were a lot of fun to do!! Best of luck with your project!!
