LET'S CREATE A VINTAGE JUNK JOURNAL SPREAD WITH COLLAGE , POCKET AND A REPAIR TAG

Hi guys, let's work on some junk journal pages together. Today, we're diving into a creative session with a big neutral collage over a 2-page junk journal spread. We'll be decorating with parts of the "1920's Gentleman's Journal Kit and Freebie," adding a touch of vintage elegance. In this project, we'll also create two pockets that will house a beautiful card made from an original vintage "repair tag," featuring Alfred, our hero for this journal. Get ready for a fun and inspiring crafting session. Don't forget to check out the digitals linked below. Let's get started and make something amazing!
The kit and freebie are available in both US Letter and A4 sizes. You can find them on my Ko-fi page - links below!

On the blank spot to the right of Alfred, near crease, I would put a faded red #. ! 🙂This is so pretty!

It is just amazing watching you work. Your brain is filled with creativity.

i am in LOVE with this kit. At first it was just a love for the colors and patterns but have to admit, I'm falling for Alfred :)

I LOVE A GOOD STORY! Gretchen, Gunther,Gunther B and now ALFRED!!!!!! MARGRETH, thank you for sharing your talents and stories. This digital is even better in person (if that’s possible). Loving the rain sounds and mixed with your teaching I’m very relaxed as I gather my items to catch up and craft along with you. I’m sooooo happy I invited you over to spend the day with me. Thanks LOVIE!! Heheheheh

Morning Margreth, thank you so much for this FANTASMAGORICAL video. It was so much fun and (as you said) relaxing. Love the way you do your collages, I can now see where I was going wrong. It worked out (again) to be a fantastic project. I am thinking of trying out one of these today, also in the pouring rain!!!). Love visiting with you anytime, but today just seemed extra special. I think I needed this visit. Just a HUGE thank you, again, for the fabulous freebies, you are the kindest, funniest most genuine person I (would love to meet) "know". Thank you, thank you, thank you. As usual am sending Blessings and hugs to Tim, your Dad, Daisy Mae, Jackson and of course to your own dear self Lovie. Diana - Cape Town 🤗🐱🐱🦊🦊

I am at work, having my break, and felt like I needed a heavy dose of "Lovies" ❤. I stopped the video right after your description of the paper and it already made my mind spin with ideas. Can't wait to see what you are doing to this page. I have several channels I watch for inspiration, but your channel was the first I not only searched the archive but am looking forward to new videos. Thank you and please keep going ❤.

Oh my goodness - Alfred is wonderful - gotta have him. Wonderful video!

[@susafoe]

Hi, I just stopped after 15 minutes when you asked about the glue we use. I love using Giotto glue sticks. Of course because Rachel uses them all the time and so I tried to find them here in Germany. I ordered them several times at Craftelier and I guess they also ship to NL. I never found them at a better price and as they have a huge online shop I always find something else to order.😉 By the way, I also love the smell of the Giotto glue😂

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Great , I need to go order some 👍🏻😁

Hi Margrethe! Hello from Canada . I’m a recently a new subscriber in the last year. Paper crafting is a new hobby in the last 2 yrs. I’ve watched many people on Instagram, KZbin and you are my absolute favourite paper crafter. You’re able to keep my attention and I love to craft along with you when i can. I binge watch a lot of your videos more than anything else . I would love to have all of your supplies, but this is an expensive hobby. In the beginning, I ordered things from Temu and elsewhere as they are cheap, but I soon realized I want quality items over quantity. I want to collect one quality item at a time to build a nice collection of things to use. I have a request for you…. For us new paper crafters who want quality items could you put together a list of 30 to 40 items that are must have items to invest in, to build our inventory. I know you have many list, but this will be a list for new paper crafters of the ultimate 40 items for paper crafting. Thank you much for being so enjoyable , fun, hilarious, and knowledgable. As I don’t have friends who are into paper crafting, you are a godsend. I do have a cousin in the Netherlands who likes to thrift so I’m hoping that one day I will be getting my hands on a book of numbers like yours! Thank you for everything that you do from all of us! ❤

Fabulous project yet again. Your engineering brain might have taken a vacation but your creative brain was outstanding! You seem to have had the rain we had yesterday, not much better today in the UK but it was mostly dry, what is with this summer weather? Very weird. I believe you are right with the flat iron building it's my daughter's favourite sight in New York (she goes there a lot 🙅‍♀). I use UHU too although if the weather ever warms up I might have to switch to Pritt Stick as UHU gets a bit soft in hot weather (I think I can remember that far back 🙄) I loved the back story of Alfred as an underwear model but now we learn he has been an international spy all along!! Are there no end to this man's talents! 🤣 I love your humour. Thanks again for sharing your talents 💗 xxx

[@franziskawollke6528]

I have tried all the glues, I think, except the ones Rachel uses because they are so hard to get in the states and very expensive. I like pritt because it comes in large sizes that last longer so I use less plastic.

I've used a few brands of glue sticks and never had any luck with them until I started pressing the glued pieces down very firmly, using a bone folder to ensure good adhesion. Much better now although not perfect, but then what is? 🤷‍♂ You can use copy paper in your punches if you use a second sheet as a backing (either a second copy of the same print, or a plain sheet so you get a blank to do something with) or some thinner cardstock.

[@sabrinaoilworks]

I believe you asked about Gesso as a glue. Gesso is not a glue. I am in the USA. It was made as a primer for canvases. I, artists, put it on the raw duck canvas to seal the material so the paint won’t seep into the fabric. If someone is using it as a glue, that’s a surprise.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Giotto not gesso 😏

[@sabrinaoilworks]

@@SevenplazaCreative my bad. My apologies. I thought I heard Gesso.
