Making Ephemera Out of Junk/Window Pocket/Junk Journal Snacks

Today I'm delving into another personal strategy of getting out of a creative funk : repurposing treasures from my collection of junk and packaging. Join me as we craft a window pocket, drawing inspiration and materials directly from the treasures I've gathered.

I love everything about this - using a packaging piece as a template, the 'blotchy' technique with your sprays, the gorgeous bird in the circle, and then using more packaging for the window. The colours are right up my street too. Thanks Barbara!

[@MarinaTheJournalingGypsy]

Ooooo lala 😊 what a lovely pocket. Thanks Barbara ❣ ❣

[@juliemonroe105]

Hi Barbara, This turned out so cute! Always love seeing what you are creating. Xo, Julie🌿🪻🌿🌷⚘️🌻🌿

[@ediewilson4043]

Such fun to watch you make something beautiful out of nothing. Inspired!

[@annaengberg]

Beautiful, and inspiring, pocket. 😊

[@judiemjacobson4613]

Barbara Barbara I am so happy to be back and seeing you do your style again. I just love this idea.

[@swannwillow9476]

Really fun project. I love the fact that you don't waste any of the ink.❤ TFS 😊

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

What a beautiful idea! I will definitely have to put this in my ideas journal. Thanks! Hugs 🤗❤️

[@hazeljanehopkins5652]

What a great idea to use up scraps and create a one-off pocket!

[@bernicechiniborch2600]

This is just beautiful, who would know that a piece of junk mail could inspire this lovely pocket. Thanks for sharing.🇨🇦

[@christine0nowell757]

Beautiful pocket Barbara, looking forward to you April spread too xx

[@yolandakouwenberg-meijer344]

Lovely pocket...love the oxide colours..

[@Paintspotsandpaper]

Gorgeous grungy pocket Barbara! Thankyou for sharing, take care xx

[@maryregan7928]

Love the window pocket

[@vamps_rock]

The simplicity of this piece is what makes it so gorgeous 🤩. I've been in a creative funk for over a month now, but I have been making basic envelopes, mini notepads and doing lots of die cutting so at least I'm still producing, even if it's just undecorated 'blank' pieces for my ready made stash. TFS 😺

[@MichiP.]

wunderschön, liebe Barbara💗

[@MaddieMadMoo1]

Thank you Barbara. This looked beautiful. I am going to have try this. I always like to reuse everyday things like food packaging.

[@joylynnburkhardt3202]

Very nice video, Barbara! I love how you imitated the packaging, very clever! Your bird prints are lovely also! Have a great weekend! Erica❤

[@sillybeeful]

The circle would make a beautiful full moon

[@elizabethkeeling-carreau1873]

You made such a lovely pocket. It makes me want to be by the ocean but in my part of Canada it’s quite far away. 😂 Thanks as always Barbara. 🤗🇨🇦🤗

[@49dragonflies]

I also want to be by the ocean! 😊

[@allisonjames2923]

I shall wave to the Coral sea for both of you & it can send your hellos to it out to your closest ocean 🌊 Hmmmm 🤔 A hello travelling from Australia to your side of the world might be considered the scenic route, but my theory is that all water molecules in our seas & oceans are touching (well, except inland seas but we’ll ignore them for the moment 🤷‍♀️) so it is all connected 😁

[@joycemccullough7856]

That’s a beautiful pocket. Thanks so much for sharing your process!❤

[@faymeowsiumo]

I love how you transfer trash to treasure 😊 i have many packaging left after i finished a dollar store journal challenge. They can put into good use now since i need to make a journal soon. Thanks for sharing.

[@MaureenAstrid]

It is such a simple but beautiful little pocket sweetie ❤ I love it.

Such a great pocket!!! ❤

[@prof.mommyarty]

It's Brayed Furlap lol. Such a cool effect on your book page, still gets me every time too lol. My notch punch isn't great compared to the punch board even though it's expensive, I love it. Love the pocket and always love using packaging! Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

Love it!

[@terrisyoutube1726]

Such a great piece, love the tip about the end of the book pages when I get little alphabet stamps I'm totally gonna start saving them.

[@emmkaa2099]

Baby girl, before I forget YET AGAIN, I must tell you that you have the most graceful hands on all of KZbin! They're gorgeous!! I love what you've got here, what you've made. You either show me something new or remind me of a technique I've forgotten about - I want to smush my ink more and use it to push my papers on to - I always love the results! I've started packing for our move to Indiana - I thought my craft room was a mess before!! 🤦🤦 I'm having to choose a few things that I'll keep out because I cannot NOT create for two months, even tho I know the time will pass before I know it. Thanks for the creative break, now it's back to work. Hugs angel, MomK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw thank you so much momK! I have my mom to thank for my hands. Good luck packing up! ❤️

[@toniscott1029]

It's beautiful 😻

[@elenalaskari4739]

Hello dear Barbara! I love your window pocket and how you transformed the idea from the junk packaging! ❤❤❤ i can't wait to see the background page that you will place it on and what you will put to the window to be seen! 😍😍😍 I'm also excited about your new monthly digitals, i believe they will be awesome with the birds! Regarding the ocean, i can suggest that you and your hubby visit Greece for the summer for vacation! ❤❤❤🏖🏖🏖

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you Elena! I have never been to Greece. I’m sure it’s beautiful! ❤️

[@poppydaniels9855]

Thanks! I showed it at the beginning 😊

[@deborahwilson3546]

I'm a new subscriber. Love your creativity.

[@ManuelaFantasieArt]

Wunderschön❤❤

[@jenniglenn7428]

You make me laugh so! I don't want to find A book: I want YOURS!! Such luck at finding all of those beautiful books at a thrift shop. I try to check at least once a month but often come home empty-handed (or worse, with an armload of fabric!)...

[@grdng8]

I love your collection of ephemera birds that you used in this video. Where did you source this collection from?

[@49dragonflies]

I showed it in the video. This bird is from a vintage book I found at a Goodwill.

[@allisonjames2923]

That is a really lovely pocket! Very elegant & beautiful. But… where are your gold splatters? 😱 ok. It doesn’t need them, I was just waiting for them lol 😊

[@49dragonflies]

Not sure at this point…

[@cindycolbert161]

Do you use a canvas to add water to your distress oxides? I love your pocket! ❤❤

[@49dragonflies]

No, I used the Tim Holtz mixed media mat.
