I discovered the junk journal art several weeks ago, and I love it !
I decided to build my own junk journal by using recycled and papers mainly. I added piece of papers from Pink Reptile Designs collections :

Papers from Tales of spring, Love you beary much, Flaws and all kits

To create my junk journal, I began to associate colors and texture and to create a kind of moonboard with the different elements and papers :


I decorated this old tag cut from a clothe.
I cut a piece of lace and I glued it on the tag to hidden the text printed on the tag



I added some elements :





Flower cut from Pure and simple papers, WA is from Good times|elemens

My tag is done.
Now, I decorated the page of my junk journal with associated colors of the tag.

I cut piece of papers and I glued them on the page

The papers are stamped krat enveloppes, flowers pattern papers from Forget me not|papers and graphic paper from Flaws and all|papers

I cut this beautiful flower from a paper (Pure and simple|papers)

This is the master piece of my page.

I decorated the opposite page with pieces of papers and some elements. I added a metallic paper clic with a piece of lace, to create a reminder with the tag

Alpha : Hello Austin, Heart : A slice of lemon|elements, paper : Flaws and all|papers, WA : Time flies|elements

I slided the tag in the pocket to finish my double page




I created other pages with Pink Reptile Designs products :


With New job|elements


Papers : Flaws and all, Drawn to you,dreams; lama element : No Probllama|elements, stamps and masking tape

I'm working on a recipe challenge based slightly on my last blog post, should be ready later today

Oooh that sounds like fun Karen!

Getting Pretty pages done today!

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are continuing to stay well during these most difficult of times!

It was such an eye opener going through this month’s gallery! It was so hard to choose 3 of the best but in the end I cam down on the following wonderful pages!

Firstly we have a page I fell in love with – so bright and happy! @astrofairy’s page – Ce-bel-ete, she has used Wildflowers from July’s BYOC to such a wonderful, dreamy effect! What a cute Grandson!



Next we have Magnolias by @Bebimora. I choose this one to highlight the wonderful title work. She has combined several alphas to such good effect – this effect replicating the slightly out of focus magnolia towards the bottom of the photo – it balances and frames the page perfectly! Love it!



Lastly a nice clean page from @caapmun. The triple framed photo is a little piece of perfection that doesn’t need big bold elements around it – it would be lost in a busier page. The colours of the Blue Skies kit absolutely compliment the photo! Flower Power indeed!



That’s it for this month – don’t forget to enter this month’s recipe challenge, we have some beautiful pages already, thank you! Stay safe and hopefully next moth will be a happy one!
