Junk Journal 27 Oct 2018

My One and only time into Junk Journals. Several years ago, and up to current time 27 Oct 2018, all the rage was Junk Journals. You went through your trash, saving Junk Mail and recycling into a journal. I didn't use example of junk mail. Junk mail is in this journal but I found it to take up space and be unusable. Making the journal was an exercise in learning something new: tea or coffee dying paper, folding and making signatures, and sewing the signatures into the spine to make the journal, among other techniques. I had fun and if I was to make another journal, I'd leave the junk mail out and just use copy paper and lined notebook paper. The cover for this journal was a hanging file folder that worked well.
    These pages covers my bone folders and how much I LOVE the new ones made from Dacon. They do not make marks on your paper when using to crease. And liquid glue or tape will not adhere, a real bonus.
    I will not be making anymore journals. John has a fascination with small note books and we have received some as gifts. There are plenty on small note books in the house for me to use. Right now, I am in the process of making boxes (many examples posted) using up my left over designer papers.
