Junk Journal Cover Idea

Do you enjoy journaling or collecting creative ideas in a Junk Journal or Art Journal? I decided I would like to have a little journal to make notes or express some creativity!

I started with cutting 3 pieces of kraft cardstock to 4x12 and I folded them in half. I used a punch to create the binding option for the left side. Next, I gathered a few of my favorite Eyelet Outlet supplies! I decided to create a background with a vintage inspired theme! I created my framed flapper girl as the focal point with washi tapes too!  I just love their versatility! So, no matter your particular color schemes or interests you could easily replicate this idea! There are so many options!

I created a slim tag and stamped my sentiment "Think Happy Thoughts" and added some ribbons to finish off the cover! I can't wait to start adding to my little junk journal! I hope you enjoy!

Layouts on Friday with Rosandra

Okay, okay... it's really not a layout this week.

I thought I'd show you some other things to do with your Eyelet Outlet goodies.

Eyelet Outlet has some beautiful new washi tapes great for art journaling.

Below is a page I did in my "test journal". I like to have a journal to try different/new techniques, ideas, or paint or mediums in. For this one I laid a thin layer of gesso first, then I added random strips of washi tape on the page. I used three different kinds (they'll be in the supply list at the end of the post). I applied texture paste through a stencil and used a heat tool to dry. Once dry, I dry brushed my paint layers. Using a collage glue stick I added the paper flowers, then mixed some multi matte medium with some paint to "seal" the flowers onto my page. Add some swirl bling strips and... TADA!

Supplies:

Elephant washi tape

Amore washi tape

Flower washi tape

Paper flowers

Swirl bling

Thank you for visiting and make something pretty today.
