Steampunk Journal Flip Through (from Lovely Lavender Wishes)

I told myself no sewing and no lace in this one- accomplished the first part, but cheated a little on the last! Join me for a flip through of my Steampunk Journal. It was so much fun to make!

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

Well I can’t deny it’s cute and there is a lot of work in it but in all that there’s maybe a dozen or so complete sheets of paper to journal on. It’s like scrapbooking in journal style with a couple of places to write. I guess when I think of a journal I think of plenty of pages to write on. When I get started writing I can fill up a half dozen pages at once. More if my handwriting is bad that day. I think I might have ordered that Creative Box you have. It had a lot of railroad stuff, tickets, more stamps than I can use in a lifetime and other things. I think I kept a couple of pieces from it, don’t remember where they are, gave the rest away. But to me a journal is a tool to use for maybe writing down events of the day, taking notes on a bible study I’m listening to or sometimes just random thoughts and ideas. Sometimes it takes a while to fill one and I get nervous if I don’t have some blank replacements ready to choose from. But I think I will pass on making journals of my own since the types I’m seeing on the internet don’t seem to fit my lifestyle and needs. But you definitely did a neat job on it. Thanks for sharing!!

[@renee_lovelylavenderwishes]

Yes I understand that…. Junk Journaling for me is more about the creative process versus the journaling… I have plain journals that I mostly journal in.

[@anapatrocinio9090]

Omg!! amazing!! Very creative❤❤

[@renee_lovelylavenderwishes]

Thank you!

[@themintgreenspaceship5787]

Omg the amount of detail in this journal is amazing, this deserves so many more views! And that middle part is to die for.. Stunning! It's like a whole other journal in on itself haha, really fantastic. I'm not even into steam punk myself but you totally made me want this journal haha 😁👍

[@renee_lovelylavenderwishes]

The mint green Spaceship thank you so much for your kind words! The journal is up for purchase if you do want it!! 😉

[@Geekabibble]

That is sooo beautiful! I'd never be able to write in it! Too pretty, I'd just take it out and look at it.

[@renee_lovelylavenderwishes]

Probably my Big Shot by Sizzex or are you asking which folder I like best?

[@bevvogt9215]

This is the coolest steampunk journal I have ever seen. Great job! Where did you get some of the steampunk supplies?

[@renee_lovelylavenderwishes]

Thank you! I usually get all my supplies from Hobby Lobby or Michaels along with Ali Express

[@Rebelhomeland]

Really love the way you put this togather! Super cool! How long does it take to make something like that? And house many dollars get wraped up on a project like that. I need to know if I have to talk to my banker! Lol! ❤

[@renee_lovelylavenderwishes]

lol! Thank you! Depending on how much time I have to craft these journals can take me anywhere from 2 weeks to a month. And they can get as expensive (or not) as you want… you can use miscellaneous items you have around the house or go out and buy a bunch of stuff. I’m trying to use materials I already have (which is a substantial amount!) most of which I’ve gotten at garage sales, thrift stores, clearance sales, etc…

[@lisawagner6076]

I really enjoyed your journal. So much fun. I am looking for inspiration for my journal I am starting using a gorgeous kit from Artzology. You have lots ! LOL. Is lace and sewing not a "thing" in steampunk?

[@renee_lovelylavenderwishes]

Thank you!! You can do whatever you Like with steampunk… I think with this journal I was just trying something different… the journal before I used a lot of lace and sewing so this one I went the opposite direction…

[@lorrdread]

You've really pulled the steampunk theme together quite nicely. Keeping a journal has never been more fun! Did you make this to sell or keep?

[@renee_lovelylavenderwishes]

This journal was sold. Thank you!!

[@TheZatKen]

How did you do the monocle? This JJ is awesome. Is there a tutorial on the second signature thank you 🙏 for sharing

[@renee_lovelylavenderwishes]

No I don't have a tutorial on the middle signature- I'll see if I can get one together for you! The monocle- I glued a gear on and then used Inkssentials (by Ranger) Glossy Accents to fill in the middle.

[@TheZatKen]

That would be super. Just checked the price of the ink essential kits. Very pricey! Need to figure out something else.

[@marianaya5824]

I love your journal! It's really beautiful. Steam Punk is one of my favorite kinds of imagery. One question... what are the copper dots called? I want to order some. 😊

[@renee_lovelylavenderwishes]

Thank you! I think those are called metal studs or round dome studs...you can Google it and they come up..a variety of types

[@marianaya5824]

@@renee_lovelylavenderwishes I just learned from another video they are called brads. That's so cute.

[@renee_lovelylavenderwishes]

@@marianaya5824 yes the regular round ones are called brads but some of the ones I used in this journal had little teeth all around the back of the dome and not two flaps on the back like brads. Those are the metal domes.

[@marianaya5824]

@@renee_lovelylavenderwishes Wow... There is so much to choose from.

[@cathybowles3930]

I love this journal i wondering how do you put in your signature's?

[@renee_lovelylavenderwishes]

Each junk journal is different- sometimes I sew them in, sometimes I use elastic so I can remove pages, sometimes I sew directly into the spine so the string shows on the outside and other times I sew into a floating spine which I then insert to the spine of the book so the threads or string don't show on the spine. Just depends what I'm in the mood for or how I want the journal to look! This one I think I sewed the signatures to a piece which I then attached to the spine of the book so the signature string/threads didn't show (If I remember correctly!)
