Field Notes Booklets – Tim Holtz Grunge Style
Field Notes Booklets I made eight of these and sent seven off to friends and family. This one went to a cousin, because the picture on the front reminded me of one of our aunts as a young woman. It isn’t her, but still… These were a lot of fun to make. Jeffrey did the stitching for me on our vintage Singer 401, a gift from my Baby Sisty, who also was sent one. 😉 I am currently working on a similar mass make of a triple fold tag, the first of which was used as the base in Memories of Mocha. I’ve focused on the 3 x 5 format…

Memories of Mocha Junk Journal
Memories of Mocha A very dear friend’s elderly dog crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. We are meeting our friend for lunch today and Jeffrey suggested I make something for her. It was a challenge because I only had four pictures of precious Mocha. Because of time constraints, I used folding tags I had already started. Anyway, here it is… NOTE – Stamps used are of my own design. @RubberStamps_com #stampwithus RUBBERSTAMPS.com Enjoy the Making 😉 IMPORTANT NOTE- Some of the links in this post may be Affiliate Links.

The Mini Stitched Booklets are Ready
I initially wrote about the Mini Stitched Booklets concept here: https://junkjournalephemera.com/how-a-junk-journal-idea-starts/ The first of the Mini Stitched Booklets are ready to go to their new homes tomorrow. We have two good friends we eat lunch with about once a month, so they are the recipients. 😉 I decorated the envelopes last night. The Stencil Ephemera are for a new product I’m currently working on. The ones I had cut out and ready to use were a squinchy bit too big for the envelopes I had, hence the staggered layout. Thank goodness for Junk Journal forgiveness. 😉 Tink Tip – Punching a Cut-Out (Pun Intended) 😉 I used an UltraFine Sharpie…

Picking Accent Colors for Junk Journals
One of the many things I love about Junk Journals is how creatively free you can be. There are few rules and little pressure to follow them. I tend to finish off my Junk Journal Projects with a final touch/layer/whatever… I was looking at this group of Mass Make cards and realized they’d be a good example of one of the different ways I do this. 😉 In these examples – part of my projects for the Junk Journal #100DayChallenge – the final touch was stamping with a vintage Business Stamp I have (and yes, it’s a fav! 😉 ) I chose the ink colors I used for this final…

How a Junk Journal Idea Starts
This is how an Idea starts… 😉 I watched a YouTube Video by LUISE HEINZL – JUNK JOURNAL ART @luiseheinzl She and a friend were working on projects inspired by a vintage Tim Holtz book – Tim Holtz Distressables 2, published in 2008. I was lucky enough to snag a used copy on Amazon. As I was paging thru the book, I spotted a cute idea on page 6 – Mini Stitched Booklets. That project called for a lot of supplies that are no longer available, but it was easy to see that I could modify the format I have been using for the #100DayChallenge – the 3×5 format with…
