Thank you for showing different ways of using post cards. Your page for this prompt is so pretty.

[@megjournals]

Thanks so much!

[@lynetteclark]

Ah I thought I recognised those group of rocks on the first postcard. The Needles, from my home on the Isle of Wight.

[@PixieKDesigns]

Oh I love this page Meg. Fussy cut botanicals are my favourite thing to use on pages. I’m learning lots about working in a no sew journal . It is quite different. ❤

[@megjournals]

Have you had it accidentally slip off your desk yet? I did that today it was unfolded halfway across my studio 😂😂

[@PixieKDesigns]

@@megjournals 😂😂. No, I’m still at the ‘oh I can unfold this to work in it ‘ stage. 💙😂.

[@michelel3372]

I really love all the ideas you have shown in this video. Also love how your prompt page turned out. Thank you for sharing.

[@rebeccabelanger1112]

Love your fussy cut flowers!!!

[@cindyadams6401]

Beautiful additions to post cards🎉😊

[@weaver7249]

Meg, this is one of my favorites. Great job!

[@RobinfromCA]

Great postcard ideas and, Oh my gosh...I used to go to City Lights Books when in SF!

[@ArtsySolutions]

I love that postcard! It looks great with the collaging. It turned out beautiful!

[@TheCrabbyCrafterlol]

I love how you've altered the vintage post cards and made so many different uses for them. They also make fabulous drawing and painting references, very inspirational 🤓

[@megjournals]

Drawing references is a lovely idea!

[@beadywoman]

This is beautiful! And wow! As much as I love the style of the book you made, I am glad I did not do that for my first one - I had not thought about the need to blend from one page into the next page so that everything flows. That would have made my head fall off! LOL

[@leeannsutherland858]

Enjoyed all the good ideas!

[@beckysjournals]

So inspiring! That fussy cut flower is the perfect thing for that page. Love it!

[@raisinbren1992]

I have always like your style, amazing 😍, this is my first time joining the challenge, I’m so ready for day 2😍

[@ChantelleArts]

such beautiful pages 🥰

[@jennyelliott7402]

Love your page ❤❤❤

[@dakielty]

I love how you showed different ways of using the postcards

[@petrawanerskog7579]

Tanks for this inspiration 🎨

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Lovely!

[@SewCraftyNana]

Pretty!

[@janicehoughtelling5137]

I enjoy your videos

[@ScrapbookSage]

Thanks for sharing

[@debbiereed8341]

Beautiful page. Enjoyed seeing all the different ways you can use a postcard.

[@lyn.k10]

Love it! This is my first time participating in a Junk Journal Challenge, soo much fun!! The prompt starter questions have been super helpful, ideas and memories are flowing, it’s restored my artist/creative mindset after a creative slump. Thank you so much Meg! 💖

[@GwenTheTrashWitch]

Beautiful! I always look forward to see what you have created for the day. Another beautiful page! Thank you!💖

[@NatashaLeecole]

I usually just write in my journals (I do have a specific drawing journal) but I definitely want to start getting more creative with some of my writing journals again👌🏽😍🩵

[@megjournals]

You should! 🤩

[@tortagialla]

Love this idea... more excuses to buy postcards as well...

[@megjournals]

Right?! 😅

[@blessedincali8877]

Love all the colors and dimensions, excited this month for all the inspiration ❤

[@megjournals]

Thanks so much!

[@carolbeeding4270]

😍❤️

[@sandraludwig1546]

Hi, Meg--what size is your junk journal for this month's projects? Thank you very much!

[@katrineleber7238]

I’m loving it! I have made another decision. I know, I know. I keep changing my mind. I’m going to make another smaller accordion style journal to use for the prompts and use the other larger to make a similar one that I can actually journal in and use it for memories. That is my final answer. ROFL. just tell me if you believe me. lol. Hugs, treen 💕🤎💕🤎💕🤎

[@megjournals]

Hahaha love it 🤣✨

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

Hi Meg, I like how this prompt came out alot! Thanks for all the great ideas. Is there someplace that we are supposed to post pics of our own prompts? TFS 😊

[@megjournals]

Feel free to share on IG :)

[@willowrain8897]

im in love with your channel. learning so much. may i ask how you cut the long according style postcard?

[@megjournals]

Just in half with scissors :)

[@veraprima998]

👍👍👍❤️🌷🌺

[@sandraludwig1546]

Also, how did you do the round edges on all the pages?

[@kaymerrel4186]

How do you hold all the papers together?

[@megjournals]

glue stick, washi, staples, and hope :)

[@kaymerrel4186]

@@megjournals Just gorgeous!
