A new little project begun this week…a handmade journal using only vintage ephemera as page material…
Using an Ephemera Kit from Vintage Street Market, and countless papers I already had in my collection, I made a start…
With a piece of sturdy cardstock as a base for each page, I just layered each one with bits of sometimes fragile but beautiful old paper…
…until a nice mini-album emerged. And I love it! Then bits and pieces of favorite things were added--
along with vintage images to help illustrate the thoughts I was thinking…
…a bit of doodling thrown in, of course—as usual!
…and my little handmade journal emerged. Quite a fun little project to complete in just a day or two.
So much fun, I think I may just have to start another one!

I love it, Julie! You are so inspiring and you find the best quotes! Twyla
ReplyDeleteTo bad I don't live close to you, I'd HIRE you to put beautiful journal pages together for me (tee,hee)
ReplyDeleteLovely as always. Maybe I will play with paper and glue over my spring break that sadly has started with a major dust storm. Ugh! Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteLove your pages Julie! so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is very beautiful! I think of it as a 'vintage style junk journal". Love all the layering and embellies.
ReplyDeleteThe papers are lovely but it's your delightful lettering that is the divine finishing touch!
