Interesting! I've used envelopes - but not like this, so I'm delighted to learn this technique. It surprises me that so little glue is needed. Thanks for starting us off, Kelli!

This was so much fun! I've made some junk journals out of brown paper bags and naturally, I now have a, shall we say, fairly large collection of ephemera. I'm going to haul it down from the top shelf I put it on in my studio and see if I have some things to add. However, I plan to wait for each day for your instructions. I'm loving this!

First time junk journaling! Thank you so much for curating all the ephemera ❄ I love all the bits and pieces! Also, i was able to use the deckle scissors from a prior Project Pack. I'm sure it was feeling a bit lonely in the tote as I only used it then 😆

This is so fun. I have begun to try to complete my own "journal." I love the pockets because I can put in the tiles related to the the Advent Calendar. There are 8 pockets, so I can complete the set and I can put my own imagery on the outsides of the envelopes. What a great idea!

Junk journals are made from anything and everything. You can take a new envelope and distress it, crumple paper and add ink. That is the beauty of the junk journal process.

Junk journals are made with junk. Not new stuff. Junk journals are made with things that otherwise would hit the recycling bin. To use things that you don’t have to purchase. Such as tea bags, don’t forget to tea dye your papers. Packaging. Such as Kleenex boxes. Cardboard boxes. Tear them apart and use the corrugated middle. Stamp the lines on a page to journal on. If you need more ideas let me know. But don’t spend money on things. Look around your house.

My very first JJ! So much fun. Only step I took besides everything you did was run an alcohol marker around the edge of the cover photo after cutting it so it was even more worn/rustic looking. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s video!

Put a little glue at the end of your twine, and twist it into a little needle. Let it dry, and it will go through your hole easily

Don't squeeze the glue to get the plug off, glue shot out and a stream landing on me my project, keyboard and monitor. I got to do some cleaning. lol It's fun to laugh and just do the next right thing. Lesson learned. 💞💞💞
