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…

Junk Journal Ephemera Timesavers
One of the valuable things I have learned while participating in the #100DayChallenge… Prepare ephemera elements ahead of time, so you can grab them and assemble them, whenever you have a few minutes. In the box to the left, I have many 3 x 5 cards printed and prepped. I have rounded the two corners on each and sometimes, have even distressed the edges. (I tend to distress edges on Mondays when my best friend and I talk on Skype for an hour. 😉 In the plastic boxes I have many, many pre-cut whale tail tabs in many, many colors. This means I can sort out a few 3×5 cards…

Some of My New Personal Stamps
As part of the 100 Day Challenge, I finished these last night. I used only my own stamp designs. 😉 I LURVE Whale Tail tabs, especially stamped. Last month, I designed an entire sheet (6″ x 4″) of stamps made up of insects that are small enough to fit on one side of a Whale Tail, so I used them here. Then, both sides of each 3″ x 5″ card was randomly stamped from my other personally designed grunge style stamps. I consider these all about 95% finished. I plan to leave them like this for now. When I use them in a project, I’ll add a little something to…

Free Bonus Page for Vintage Photo Booth Designs
Here are some examples of ‘Vintage Photo Booth 1’ images in use. These four are from the BONUS Page which is included in the set Here is the link to Download the Bonus page: https://junkjournalephemera.com/sdm_downloads/photo-booth-portraits-vintage-ephemera-free-bonus-page You are welcome to share the link to the Bonus Page or Bonus Page PDF. Just please give the full PDF. 😉 Anyway, these ID Cards were a fun project. The Photo Booth images I used are slightly smaller than in the PDF because I used my Silhouette 4 Cameo to Print and Cut them.

Small Ephemera Storage
Since I got my Silhouette Cameo 4 a couple of months ago, I have been cutting out digital ephemera like a crafting fool 😉 Both my own designs and those from other Makers… They fit nicely in plastic envelopes I got from Amazon, but I was soon overwhelmed. Where to put all of the envelopes? Anywho… I spent the last couple of days building boxes for them to live on a closet shelf. Sometime in the future, I’ll decorate the boxes. 😉 The one on its side (on the left side of the pic) is to hold the envelopes as I pull them for each project… To keep things organized…

I Love Junk Journal Ephemera
You know you love #JunkJournals when… You peel the back label off a vintage avocado colored washing machine, dumped out on the street.

Junk Journal 100 Day Project Start
Last year, I discovered the Junk Journaling 100 Day Project well into its run. I didn’t know when it started and had no details about it. This year, by happenstance, I heard about it just a couple of days after it began. I stumbled across a YouTube video by Margarete Miller discussing her plans. I was watching an unrelated video by Margreth of SevenPlaza at the same time. She was creating a wonderful Travel Kit… a project which was calling my name, loud and clear. 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAVeeppMzIM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jo_0SCu0cI&t=802s All in all, it came together for me. A creative challenge (which I love), and two great projects which dovetailed perfectly. Yep……
