Brown paper bags are one of my favourite junk journal materials too. The sturdy ones can even make great covers. There is something grounding about the colour and feel of the brown paper, especially if you scrunch it first. Adding the fabric flower trim and collage elements elevates the portraits to a different level. Thanks for sharing your technique. I want to try this for myself now.

Lisa…so eloquently stated!! Yes…the brown paper bag, in texture and color, is so earthy!! And when I add embellishments, I try to stick to neutral colors for the most part so it still retains that kind of feel to it. I’m so glad you want to try this out now…the possibilities are endless in what you can do. Thanks for being here & happy creating 😍
