It’s a new month (August in case you were wondering – it’s a valid question these days!) and that means a new theme here on Eileen Hull’s blog! All during August the Inspiration and Educator Teams will be sharing jam packed junk journal ideas with an emphasis on different things you can do on the insides. I can’t wait to see what creative makes everyone comes up with. You will be inspired I am sure. Eileen has designed so many different album/journal dies that you have endless possibilities for any type of journal you can think of.
Eileen Hull’s Journal Dies:
Journal
Pocket Notebook
Wrapped Journal
Passport Book
Notebook
Tiny Book
Inserts/Pages:
Of course, it’s up to you how big you want to make the insert books that go inside the journals, but here’s a guide to help you get started.
The Pocket Notebook and Passport Book dies contain elements on the dies to create pages that fit in the book, but don’t worry… small books can be found in discount and stationery stores that are pre-made and inexpensive if you don’t want to make your own. Inserts are really easy to do though!
Now let’s take a look at the dies in action! Pam Bray has used a gorgeous paper collection with the Pocket Notebook and many other dies to create fabulous junk journal insides. Wow, the designs are so lovely and the pages are full of tuck spots, tags and other interactive details. See Pam’s blog post for all the eye candy and ideas.
Julia Aston crafted the cutest little Tiny Book junk journal full of clever embellishments. It is indeed jam packed with all sorts of fun bits. Head on over to her blog post to see what vintage item she up-cycled to include in her mini journal.
If one junk journal is wonderful, how about a junk journal that has a matching baby journal to go with it? It’s double the awesome factor, that’s for sure! Karen Bearse created this dynamic duo and wow, it looks wonderful. You will not want to miss all the goodness tucked inside these guys! Be sure to visit Karen’s blog to catch it all.
More jam packed junk journal ideas are in store for you next week…
Thanks for stopping by to pay a visit! All month long we will be featuring journal creations from the Teams. We hope you will be inspired with ideas to adapt to your own works of art.
