A Vintage Style Junk Journal

Hello everyone & welcome
Today I would like to share with you a vintage style junk journal that I have created using products from Meg's Garden online store.

I did not really have any set ideas when I first started creating this little journal book other than to try & use as much of the patterned papers and ephemera pieces from the cut and create sheets as I could. I have a very large box that I store all of my Meg's Garden supplies in and set about gathering patterned papers & ephemera pieces with similar colours.
The front cover has been embellished with die cut shapes, flowers, cheesecloth & self-adhesive pearls. This journal measures 5"x 5 ½". The cover is made from chipboard.


The spine is decorated with gold trim and a metal charm. Gold organza ribbon wraps around as a closure and ties in front.


There are 10 pages plus the front and back inside covers. The pages are created using walnut cream bazzill. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly this little book came together. There are lots of pockets and tuck spots throughout and I have decorated with lace, paper flowers, charms, doilies, ribbons & trims.


The edges of many of the papers have been distressed or torn and then inked.









These are the tags & ephemera pieces scattered throughout the journal.


The back cover.

Stop by Meg's Garden online store to see these papers and for the latest up and coming patterned papers plus lots of inspirational ideas.

Until next time.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Have a wonderful day & happy creating.
