Look what is on my desk....a spring journal in the making.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was inspired by Shabby Souls fabric binding and fabric hinges.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has been awing us with her unique Shabby vintage journals</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for quite some time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was further inspired by Amity Bloom's wallpaper delights.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cover is vintage wallpaper and the usual bits that you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
are already familiar with, including some of my </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
messy thread embellishments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mom shared some vintage recipe cards with me, and I quickly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
set to create some lovely tucks with them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some pictures of what i have finished so far...stay tuned more</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pictures are to follow.</div>

Happy New Years Friends</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and welcome back to my blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sharing some progress on my junk journal cover today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I purchased some old books to re-purpose into art.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The spine on the old books were easy to remove from the old book pages.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, the newer books are not that easy to remove,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and you will see the poor results I had in the pics below. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I found a way to repair it with some cardboard from</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a paper towel roll and will attempt the repair later on, and before</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished sewing in the signatures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was influenced by the talented Nellie Wortman, and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the lovable Mrs. Cog with her paper clipped fabric book markers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some pics of my progress...keep in mind some pages are still not complete.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Welcome back Friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm making progress with what's on my desk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While watching a YT video featuring both Sheila, from Bohodaydreams, and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sally, from Rainy Day Gypsy, these two daydreamers, and oh so inspiring ladies,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
had me laughing out loud while viewing their video.<br />
They inspired me to get out my baubles, beads, and wire cutters</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and create a few boho baubles of my own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The vintage envelope above was converted into EnVe Art </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with some of my sari silk, vintage french papers, faux scotch tape cut using </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a pattern pair of scissors and a rusty good metal flower creating using my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The above piece of ephemera was inspired by Rachel Tomlinson on YT.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used one of my own vintage family photos. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of that yummy sari silk was used, as well as some old vintage tatting too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh look...you can see a better view of the boho beads in the pic above too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I see these beads, they make me smile because of Sheila and Sally's funny posts. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello....I have been inspired lately by </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jacqui Chimes' beautiful tags,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Arty Maze's Digi Kits, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sheila from Bohodaydreams, and many others.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While in the mood for warm colors, using some new products, and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wanting to create my own quasi digi papers, I set out to create</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some mixed media book pages which were used to create a tag with</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some of my messy threads and beads. I designed a journal page which features</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a journal box and is adorned with some messy threads stamping and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
faux vintage tape.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sharing some close up of items I have created so far which</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
will become affixed to a junk journal I am creating for myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Below are some yummy silk ribbons, a bohobead, and some of my messy threads adornment on top of the journal spot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jacqui Chimes inspired tag with an inventory tag from A Tattered Dream on Etsy. You will see some faux vintage tape in this picture. I used some dried chamomille flowers and placed it on top of some book text, stamped around the tag to emphasize the flowers. The dried flowers are protected with acetate. The tag is comprise of ink sprays, stamping, sewing and messy threads.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Below is my attempt of a faux digi paper for my junk journal. After I designed the book page, I took photos of it and will use prints of the designed paper to add in other parts of the journal. The lovely ribbon on the bottom left is from A Tattered Dream on Etsy. It works beautifully with the colors of the sari silk and silk ribbons that will be included in this junk journal.</div>

Here's a simple and safe recipe for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rusty Goodness!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 cup white vinegar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 cup hydrogen peroxide</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 tablespoons salt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Container: plastic or glass jar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the above can be found at your grocery store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Insert the ingredients in a container and gently stir.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add metal bits in the container such as safety pins, charms, jewelry findings and paper clips, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stir the ingredients gently in the container.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Allow to sit for three days, and rotate all the metal bits once per day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After three days have passed, pour out the liquid with a strainer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to catch the metal bits, and rinse the metal bits.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put the metal bits on top of a paper towel, or foil,and let sit in a sunny location until each bit is dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In one case, I let the metal bits sit for four days in the container, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and in another case, I did not rinse the metal bits.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did this because I wanted to see the impact, if any. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was a difference and I will point those out in the pictures below:</div>

I ordered a lace and textile kit from Amity Bloom on Etsy, and no sooner than having opened the package and being mesmerized by her beautiful collection of laces and textiles, I started working on another EnVe Art collection. This time instead of creating with one envelope, I made several. As Nazy says, you achieve more dimension when creating several envelopes. And she was right! There is so much more beauty and interest when the envelopes are bunched up together.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-rglDfbQc4z-JVqIFKVzMu0-f5dOIo_IfXer_J7lmY7k95kW-vUePLV8dLsZMVj4Oh1IKJR7G7Yy4u-SuqNGzIV4IVghHFf7-BOM08Gx9dj2DdpYEvWTaH0KbNhlt0QAoTawSdPYcWM0/s1600/fragments+blog+post.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-rglDfbQc4z-JVqIFKVzMu0-f5dOIo_IfXer_J7lmY7k95kW-vUePLV8dLsZMVj4Oh1IKJR7G7Yy4u-SuqNGzIV4IVghHFf7-BOM08Gx9dj2DdpYEvWTaH0KbNhlt0QAoTawSdPYcWM0/s640/fragments+blog+post.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The lacy bit, gold infinity looking trim, dark red sari silk, and vintage button were all a part of the Amity Bloom textile kits.<br />
<br />
The gorgeous deep red and gold paper bits are from Jarf, MidievalMirage from Etsy. Her digi kits are sophisticated, elegant and so delicious....I want all of them!<br />
<br />
White envelopes were gathered and seeped in coffee to create an old aged charm. These envelopes are already stuff with secrets, ephemera and affirmations. I am already working on a blue collection. I think I will more until I grow weary of them, or run out of the fabrics from the textile kits.<br />
<br />
I used a faux gold leafing product from IndigoBlu.Com, named, Mega Flake (the one I am using is the Lancashire Rose). You apply the flakes with IndigoBlu Flitter Glu. I found that using a fine image stamp works best. I apply the glue thinly on parchment paper, then I light apply the stamp to the glue and immediately press the stamp on the paper I am using. Then you apply the gold flakes and let it sit until it is completely dry. Use a stiff brush to wipe away the excess and the image will reveal itself.<br />
The photograph shows a nice lit image of the gold, but when the image is not near a light, it's nicely opaque looking. It's a really great product!<br />
<br />
Here's a short video to get your EnVe Art creative juices flowing:<br />

A happy mail package I received that contained remnants of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of beautiful mauve colored blouse</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
inspired me to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
create this junk journal entitled,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's Mauvelous.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll have to watch my YouTube Channel to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
see the pocket on the last page of the journal</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to see what became of that fabric.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hello Friends!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It’s time for another Junk Journal Share.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Soft sweet colors of blush, pink, cream and charcoal are
incorporated in this journal using designer papers such as Kaiser Craft and
Prima.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>In a recent treasure haul at a
local thrift shop, I found some lovely linen and doilies.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I used one linen piece as the cover page, and
I affixed some Wonder Under which is a fabric adhesive and it worked
wonderfully on the linen and paper.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I’ve
said it before… I’m not a “Cover Girl” in every sense of those words. I
struggle with creating them.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>When I’m
done with the inside of the journal, I want to move on to the next project.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>And, this is why my covers are so simple in
terms of design.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The most frilly part of
the cover is the paper tab made out of designer paper, sari silk ribbon,
embroidery threads and a lovely intricate designed button. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I so enjoy creating these paper tabs and no
two are alike.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This journal has more journal papers to write on.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Not all of the journaling papers are included
in the YouTube video…after you have seen one or two, the rest are pretty much
the same. There are 76 pages including both inside covers, and the little paper
bag, and security envelope. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here are few more pictures and if you like what you see and want to see more, you may find this journal on my YouTube Channel:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I seriously need to use these old paper collections I have accumulated
over the years!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And, as I was going through my neglected paper stash, I came
upon the Bo Bunny Gabrielle paper line.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>I immediately remembered what drew me to that collection…the gorgeous
designs, colors of cream, various hues of aqua, brown and coral.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>And, I found upon viewing these papers again
that they sparked a renewed energy and inspiration.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>So I set about creating this junk journal.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The size of the journal cover is 4.5 inches wide and 9

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Filigree Pendant Hitch:<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>I knew I wanted a simple cover and a closing hitch, but I didn’t have
the proper hitch to affix to the cover.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>I sewed a button through the fabric to secure it, but it didn’t give me
the height I needed to wrap the textured teal ribbon around the button.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I resolved this by affixing this pretty filigree
pendant on top of the button and sewed it down through the underneath button
and fabric.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I wasn’t going to give up
using that teal colored ribbon because it really helps set-off the colors in
the journal and adds lovely texture.</span></div>

Etsy:<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I just can’t say enough about
these envelopes and their design.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>They
are so unique in their design and the paper quality takes on inks and staining
beautifully.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I do think I should have diluted
the coffee a little bit before applying it to the envelopes, and I’ll remember
that the next time.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>There’s stamping and
some Tim Holtz stencil work with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo inks.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I save some of the die-cut remnants and used
them as collage pieces. I think die-cuts and chipboard remnants add a lot of
interest in a collage with very little bulk.</span></div>

one side is longer than the other…I think she dressed herself that
morning.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I had these little bits of trim
left over from a previous project, and I thought I could use them to adorn the
photo. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The trim was placed on layers of
paper and sewn in places for more texture and topped off with more ribbon and a
petite size jewelry tag.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The element
piece became a pocket on the page.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Some
embellishment pieces just design themselves and this is a fine example.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Paper Tags:<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I think
these page tabs are one of my favorite embellishments to create. Each one is
unique, and since I am fond of “elegance,” I think they render some tattered
elegance and a little shimmer and shine.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Just tear off a piece of designer paper and fold it down the middle (don’t
try to make a perfect square or rectangular shape… you want it to look
tattered). Open it up and apply layers on both sides of the torn fold with a
lacy bit, sari silk ribbon, embroidery or metallic threads, and sew them down
in a straight stitch and ziz zag stitch, and with a threaded fine needle weave
in some pretty beads, or add a button.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>They’re really simple.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thank you for viewing, and I hope I have inspired you to use
some of these ideas in your junk journals too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Have you worked on a journal and 85% into the process,</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">you

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"></span>I truly love the “first one,” </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">but I ran into
some technical issues…</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">the covers on junk journals really throw me. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I feel so
inept when it comes to the covers.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"></span>You know
those places that finish up a quilt cover for a fellow quilter?<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"></span>The quilter does all the designing and sewing.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"></span>Then they send the unfinished quilt it to a
woman or company who will finish the top of the quilt. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I wish there was such a
place I could send my finished journal pages to</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">so that they could design covers
for me. Ha.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So here I am sharing with you my “Artists’ Café Junk Journal.”<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The journal pages are 4.5 by 6.5 inches and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you can see that the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
white kraft envelopes fit fine on this page size.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The paper quality of these envelopes worked well with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the coffee dying process.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose to use a moist coffee filter with the wet grounds still</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the filter. I then punched the filter down on top of</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
each envelope until I arrived at the desired appearance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A Tim Holtz stencil and Vintage Photo Distressed Ink pad were used</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to create more interest as well at some stamping too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course, I had to alter them with some mixed media elements to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
make them shine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope I have inspired you to use these envelopes in a new way in</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
your junk journal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, I did not buy enough of these envelopes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I will be purchasing more soon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you for viewing with me!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’ve had this project on my art desk in various stages for
some time now. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I was delighted to find some time to sneak away and finish it up
before the year ended.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"></span>Like many of you, I adore working with fibers,
threads and fabrics, </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">and in this project I created little page
labels and tags using these items.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I love how the little labels
came out and will use this technique again.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"></span>I found inspiration in putting these colors together when I came upon a
Pier 1 Christmas sale and found this fabulous birch tree inspired paper
wrapping.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I couldn’t wait to unwrap it and get started to complete the journal.

Hello Friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd like to share another junk journal with you today using </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.shimmerzpaints.com/">Shimmerz Paints</a> to enhance some embellishments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below is a round metal rim office tag and Shimmerz Candlelight Paint was used to make the little leaf die-cut look like a metal or resin like piece. <br />
I purchased the round metal rim office tags from<br />
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ATatteredDream">A Tattered Dream on Etsy</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how metal rim office tage turned out and will be using <a href="http://www.shimmerzpaints.com/">Shimmerz Candlelight</a> more often.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am enjoying making these junk journals. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They're perfect for preserving memories by journaling, adding photos, vintage doily's and laces, and ephemera. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this journal, I've incorporated some photos, and an ticket to a play I saw many, many years ago. These tickets make great little collages too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find a short slideshow of the entire journal on my newly created YouTube Channel.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i9.ytimg.com/vi/negJCC5HiAk/default.jpg?sqp=CJyj59AF&rs=AOn4CLBQhQ3k-GbOrh-zElQjCjIPNi08UA" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/negJCC5HiAk?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
And, you can visit Shimmerz Paints Blog to get all the product details too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope the junk journal inspires you to create one also. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use your scrapbook tools, mixed media skills, add in some sewing, and you can have one too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for looking.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello my arty friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few examples of what you can do with Office Metal Tags</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for your junk journals, and/or scrapbooking pages.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spritz your favorite mist, or tea stain the white</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
portion of the office metal tag; then apply some digi paper, or stamp</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
an image on top of the tag; add a fussy cut an element; and finally apply</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some Shimmerz Paints, Pasteez-Sale of the Earth to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
seal your applications and it will render a cool</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
faux encaustic look without the hassle of real encaustic wax.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The butterfly example above is the result of a heavy application of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pasteez-Salt of the Earth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A selection of sizes of the Office Metal Tags </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
can be purchased at</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A Tattered Dream on Etsy <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ATatteredDream">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only can you purchase office metal tags in a variety of sizes,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but the shop has an abundance of trims, fibers, and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
junk journal papers too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you for letting me share. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="margin: 0px;"></span>It’s stuffed with old things I used to hold

<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="margin: 0px;"></span>When I was a young child, my mom would play
this song when she set up to oil paint </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">or do some chores. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Then and today, it
still resonates with me. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I feel all is right in the world and it still brings a
tear to my eye.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span><br />
I can't use my theme some to a Summer Place on YouTube, so I had to choose another classical piece of music to use in stead. Thanks for viewing with me.<br />

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The <a href="http://scrapki-wyzwaniowo.blogspot.com/2017/08/august-2017-home-decor-1st-reveal.html">August Challenge at Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo</a> ("Scrapki") is “Home Décor.”</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> Since I won the June Challenge, I was invited back to be a Guest Designer at Scrapki in the month of August. I was overjoyed to learn the name of the Challenge </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">and was only too happy to start another junk journal using the Home Décor theme.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The cover
of my journal is from a magazine cover.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">
</span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I used a white Tyvek envelope and cut it down on one side to accommodate
the size of the journal. I left the flap part of the envelope on the back
cover intact to store future ephemera.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">
</span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Blue and white Toile tissue paper was applied to the inside covers.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">There is one signature inside the journal,
and I used the three-hole pamphlet stitch to bind the pages to the journal. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">On the first page, is a decorative mirror tuck spot to tuck
in paint chips, photos, ideas, </span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">etc.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">My favorite element on this page is the Dusty
Attic lamp chipboard.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I printed a photo
of a ginger jar and cut and molded the pattern paper over the base of the
chipboard lamp. I painted the lamp shade with Shimmerz Acritonez,”3 Sheets to The
Wind,” than white embossed a floral stamp on top of the shade.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">This technique gave the lamp shade a lacy etched
glass look.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">And, finally I added
Shimmerz Paints, miner 49er gold.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I love
how the pale gold color enhances the lamp motif.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I debated whether or not to add the Table of Contents of the
magazine to the junk journal, but when I re-read all the sections, I was
captivated by their titles….they evoked feelings.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">How could one of us, not want to see the
words, “Artist in Residence” in their junk journal? </span><span style="font-family: "wingdings"; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;">J</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Most of the pages for my junk journal came from home décor magazines,
and old reference books.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">One book had
pages in blue and white featuring titling patterns, and another was a book of
fonts.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">On those pages of the magazine or
reference book pages that looked unattractive, I added sample fabrics.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">There are paint chips, some tags, and a blue
and white Toile envelope to store more ephemera as I design my rooms.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">There are charms and lacy bits too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The page above features a photograph of an Envelope Art ("EnveArt")I created using a photo of Marie Antoinette. I printed the EnveArt on a white paper page and sewed in into the signature. The bag as two openings and I am able to store some more goodies in them too. The fabric swatches on the opposite page are fabric flips. You can flip each piece up to view. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Belly bands made from scrapbook papers and ribbon are used
to hold photos of some pretty room vignettes and other paper ephemera. There
are hidden pocket pages with journaling tags inside with a lacy pull tag.</span></div>

journal paper to write home décor information.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">
</span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I debated whether or not to tea dye the papers, but thought it would

slapped the stencil on top of the paper which revealed the design.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I then lightly drew horizontal lines to write
