Junk Journal January 2025 Day 6: Embossed

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

😂this made me LOL for real…I say you met the challenge and created a collage of puns! Bravo! 😂😂 this is so much fun to watch you do this! TFS! 💜

[@ShannonGreen]

Pun collage…love it!! 😂 Thanks so much for tuning in Laura!

[@popokicat]

I loved this - thank you so much for sharing your honest take on Junk Journal January - I felt the same for 'embossed' as you did for 'depth!' Wish we had such cool travel guides in the UK. Honestly, your whole attitude is refreshing and I feel like I can be more honest too. Thank you so much!

[@ShannonGreen]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@lalagamma4452]

Wow at first I thought you were really an over your head. But as always you created something really cool. The Oklahoma travel guide has an excellent texture I love it every time I see yours. Quote: "The things that make me different are the things that make me me." -Piglet. May you be enveloped in love's warmth, comforted by the peace that surrounds you, and supported by those who care for you, bringing solace and positive energy into your life, and may you find serenity in all that you do. Namaste🐞🐞🐞

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks so much for watching!

I was challenged with depth but ended up loving that day the most! I was blessed enough to have a small pocket page to start. It did involve fussy cutting but I used a lamp tag with a fun shape and my scalpel was the key tool I used the most.

[@ShannonGreen]

That sounds fabulous! I’m still thinking about it, hoping an idea will surface soon. Get it? Surface? Depth? 😂😂😂

[@alexismcmackin]

@ I did post the results and do love a good pun!

[@AlpacaMade]

I'm out of my depth when it comes to this home run. I got stuck on emboss because I already had a scrap piece of embossed handmade paper in my base pages & didn't want to bypass the prompt. _I cant find my embossing powders_ so irritated with myself but... another creator reminded me I had just watched a video on why we don't decorate our homes with ornate styles anymore. BINGO! 3 prompts taken care of in one fell swoop & a 4th already planned. You by far have surpassed me in _one prompt_ and made me laugh!😂👍

[@ShannonGreen]

We’re still in the game so it’s a win for both of us! 😁

[@AlpacaMade]

@@ShannonGreen did I mention I'm jelly at that folio to boot? 👏😂

[@Virginia_Gonzalez]

Hi, Shannon. So I sell appliances and their is such a thing as: Counter Depth Refrigerators. Except for the door, they are usually flush to the kitchen counter (24 inches deep), some are 25" deep. Also, the depth of the ocean or a water well, the depth of anything, will work. You got this. The Oklahoma Travel guide that I received for 2023, was a regular catalog, gorgeous by the way and very colorful.

[@ShannonGreen]

Those are great ideas, thanks Virginia! I will give them some deep thought 😁

[@AlpacaMade]

Winner! 😊👍

[@Virginia_Gonzalez]

@@ShannonGreen 😂, the best for you and your family.

[@agneschrismer9946]

That's a really nice one.

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks Agnes!

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

OH COOL!😎❣ I remember that amazing cover.... and it's great that you had one! it's so perfect and beautiful! 😃👍 very cool bank bag, too!!! wow!!!! ❣😎👍

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks Phoebe!

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

You're welcome.

[@lisawagner6076]

I am right there with ya with the "depth" prompt!! Like WTF do you do with that?? But I don't know how you pulled this "embossed" junk prompt out of the air!! That was Amazing!!! I am going with the obvious on this prompt myself. Yours came out so good!!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks so much! Yeah a couple of the prompts have me stumped. I’ll do them if an idea happens but if not I’m perfectly fine pretending they don’t exist! 😁

[@creativebeanart]

You're very lucky you can send off for travel guides. Here in Australia, everything is now digital, catalogues, maps, travel guides and even most magazines. Finding paper junk mail is like looking for hens teeth.

[@shonaguthrie848]

Do you have a local tourist info place? They often have area guides. I have one nearby in Richmond/Windsor NSW and they’re great and helpful

[@ShannonGreen]

Digital guides are a little inconvenient for us paper people but the environment is probably happy about them. 🤷‍♀️

[@pamelawooten3690]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO jealous of that Oklahoma cover!! It was years later when I stumbled across that video of yours, and they'd long since moved on. I started my En Masse collection, but it's just not the same! Sending Coffee Hugs from Florida! P.S. Would you PLEASE do a flip thru of that big chunky, deliciously embossed En Masse Journal in it's current state?? I'd SO love to see it!

[@ShannonGreen]

I will put a flip through on my to-do list, thanks for tuning in!

[@melisa6355]

Well, that worked out well! Embossed is the one I'm skipping because I have nothing embossed nor fancy scrapbooking supplies. For depth I went with a depth of field idea and used an image as a flip in the foreground overlapping a background image. Easy and let me choose whatever theme I wanted to work with. Embossed is not a very flexible prompt, though.

[@ShannonGreen]

Great idea for depth!

[@laurafaithhutnyan4524]

Thank you for making me smile and laugh!!

[@ShannonGreen]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@jenniferbeavers3153]

I loved working in The en masse journal.

[@ShannonGreen]

Me too!!

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

The only thing my brain thinks of when I hear depth is the ocean floor. LOL. Love what you did for embossed - Best travel brochure cover ever - I remember when I went to order mine they were out of stock 😂 Enjoy your day Shannon. Thank you

[@ShannonGreen]

I thought about an ocean theme too, might have to chew on that some more.

[@wmwilkinson1]

I agree Oklahoma (we) have the best travel magazines 😁. Oh man the en masse journal!

[@ShannonGreen]

I love that people are still doing en masse type journals…so fun!

[@evelynrauseo467]

Your page is stunning! In terms of depth, what if you cut holes on several pieces of junk mail, starting with small and getting bigger with every layer. Then, behind all those layers, you could have a piture from a product or magazine to showcase. TFS ❤

[@ShannonGreen]

Oooo great idea!

[@sonagray3176]

W😱W…GORGeous element for embossed prompt! I may need to send off for an Oklahoma travel guide 😉

[@ShannonGreen]

I don’t know what this year’s looks like but I bet it’s good!

[@Sassygrannyvlogs]

💗

[@Karnaby-m3w]

Love the cover! If you want to use the depth prompt, an image of a night sky or of a galaxy may work. I read that the "depth" between earth's atmosphere and outer space (the Kármán Line) is 62 miles. Hoping you are having a happy new year.

[@ShannonGreen]

Love that idea, thanks!!

[@Karnaby-m3w]

@@ShannonGreen You are welcome!

[@B.lasterWorks]

The prompt, depth, is what made me decide not to do JJJan with my TrashTalk 😂 I'm intrigued by your Enmasse journal.

[@ShannonGreen]

En Masse is basically just a treasure hunt, something you can add to over time as you collect stuff. Easy and fun!

[@B.lasterWorks]

@ShannonGreen oh right on... sounds cool!

[@debbieforward5282]

This is my first time actually taking part in Junk Journal January. I've been struggling with depth as well. I've watched a few videos and so far my brain hurts trying to come up with something. I believe I will skip over this one for now and hopefully come up with something at a later date.

[@ShannonGreen]

That’s my plan too!

[@secretsquirrelaimee2212]

Cool cover! Depth.... just glue some trash together and make it a quick layered look. bingo. all done. :P lol

[@ShannonGreen]

Love it! 😁

[@LisaCorneliusJourneys]

Shannon needs more coffee!!☕☕☕

[@ShannonGreen]

@@LisaCorneliusJourneys yaasss!!

[@Stephanie_G.]

I have started your version of the Enmass Journal!!🥰🥰🥰 I have some different categories. No I dont have a video up on what I have done so far in it.

[@ShannonGreen]

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

[@the-great-experimentdotcom9744]

You have depth with the cover, because it isn't flat like a folder.

[@ShannonGreen]

I’ve got all kinds of unintentional depth going on! 😁

[@LoveIsInTheHouse]

Can you send me an extra cover as well because I don’t know how I can do this.. lol I have no embossing stuff nor a machine lol…when I ordered mine when you talked about it that’s not the cover they sent me but they still had great guides that they sent me.. but so super cool.. I was wondering what you were doing for this one because I knew I was going to struggle without having the materials for this one.. love you puns 😏 even hubby was laughing at them while I was watching you first thing in the morning

[@ShannonGreen]

I wish I had more to share! For embossed you could try pressing paper down on a stencil…use a stylus or even a popsicle stick to press the paper and trace the design. You could put aluminum foil on a stencil or any textured surface and rub it to emboss the design into the foil. You have options!

[@AlpacaMade]

Do you have a score board? If so, score some lines on the back-side of your piece, turn it over & you have embossed lines. Proceed decorating to your heart's content. No scoreboard? Score those lines with your base paper sitting on a magazine, ruler & a knitting needle, crochet hook, dotting tool or anything else you can "draw" a straight line with that won't puncture your base paper. Have a ball with it ;)

[@kathywiseman7944]

Do you have a glue gun? You can make a design with glue and either paint over the design or cover it with aluminum foil. ☺️

[@LoveIsInTheHouse]

@ oh my gosh thanks yes I do have one and that’s a great idea.. thanks for helping me..

[@LoveIsInTheHouse]

@@ShannonGreen oh great idea!! Thanks for helping me.. I was a bit lost how I could do this and you and the other lady just helped me think of a way… thanks so much Shannon!! Btw your personality is so funny.. you make me laugh everytime I watch you.. 😁💜💜✌️

[@pennycampbell7458]

What about ocean for depth.

[@ShannonGreen]

Totally doable!

[@heatherdplans37]

Depth= ocean, deep waters, cliffs

[@ShannonGreen]

Great idea, thanks!

[@janicehoughtelling5137]

You are great and I like to watch you do the prompts it's not for me

[@ShannonGreen]

I sure appreciate you watching!

[@sherbearb.1593]

Over your head? Make a page depicting that....or maybe use the words deep...

[@ShannonGreen]

Great ideas!
