Christmas Junk Journal

Happy Monday!  Thank you for stopping by!  This is my latest junk journal.  The cover is made from heavy duty file folder and I sewed around the perimeter with a beige thread.  It has gusseted pockets on the inside front and back covers.  The journal measures 11" x 5".  Quite a tall and narrow journal, was super fun to make!

There are 3 sewn in signatures which measure 11" x 4.25".  Perfect for adding 4x6" photos or a few smaller photos per page.

The front cover has an image from  Ephemera's Vintage Garden.  The kit is called Yuletide Roses and can be found here.  I framed the image with some silver toned bling.

I used a lovely red gingham ribbon with crochet ruffled trim.  This ribbon is on both the front and back covers.  The paper line I used is from K&Company.

The closure is a red satin ribbon that can be found in my etsy shop here.

Here is what it looks like completely open.  Once it is filled with photos, it can be displayed this way during the Christmas season!

Thank you so much for stopping by!!  If you'd like to see a walk through of this journal cover to cover, here is the video.

New Made to Order Journal in Shop!

Hiiii Everyone!  Happy Thursday!  I hope you're having a fabulous week!  I wanted to share with you that I added my most recent journal to the shop as a "made to order."  It measures 5x7 and has 3 sewn-in signatures.  The pink lace on the spine WILL vary from what is photographed here but it will be just as beautiful!  The flower adornment will be the same.  Here is the listing for this size.  If you would like a smaller size, I have the 4x6 version listed here.  Thank you SO much for stopping by today!  Have a wonderful day!  :)

New Sizes Available!

Hi Again!  I wanted to update you on this journal in my Shop.  I have added 2 additional size options as well as 2 different lace options for the spine.  The ORIGINAL lace used is no longer available so I have added 2 others.  You can see those options in the LAST photo.  The lace closure will also be different than what is pictured.

The size options are 4x6, 5x7, and 6x8.  The spine will vary between 1-3/4 and 2 inches, depending on the journal size you order.  There are 3 sewn-in signatures with 100+ pages, front and back, as well as 20+ tags and journal cards.

 

Christmas Envelope Junk Journals

Happy Monday to you!  These journals will be going to their new homes tomorrow!  I had so much fun making these!  The cover is made from a 6x9 Clasp Envelope, with a flap that wraps around the front to keep it closed.  Lots of hand dyed seam binding, sewing, distressing and embellishments! Thanks for stopping by; so happy you did!  :) 

Back in Shop!

Hi Everyone!  Thanks for stopping by today!  I wanted to share this journal that is back in my Etsy Shop as a "made to order" journal.  It was extremely popular last year (sounds funny to say that) and I'm bringing it back along with the other journals I have there.  You can read all the details on this journal by clicking here.  A video link is below the photos.

New Journal ~ Almost Done!

Good Sunday Morning!  I wanted to share this journal I am almost done with.  I've had to put it on the back burner lately because I'm working on orders but this should be done in a few days.  It's 5x7 with a 2-1/4 inch spine.  The front cover won't stay this way because I will be adding a treatment to the spine which will flow over to the front cover.  But stay tuned this one will be listed soon!  :)  I hope you're having a fabulous weekend!
