Marina's August DT for the Junk Journal Junkies Group on Facebook

Hello Everyone, I wanted to share what I worked on for the month of August! I used the Kaiser Kraft, On Stage paper collection. I was able to implement the stamps and the dies that came with the collection as well. This journal was a step outside of my norm, so it was so fun to explore what I could do with it. I love how it turned out, hopefully you will enjoy it too. Here's a few photos and a link to a full flip through! Tell me what you guy's think!

Huge Thank you to Yvonne, and the amazing JJJ group for the never ending inspiration!

Junk journal Inspiration I found online

Hi All

I hope your all having a great day and being creative !

I want to share some sites with you today, as i am trawling through the internet looking for idea's and supplies i have come across some sites you may find of interest....

Uk Etsy seller: selling journal bits, her name is Julie, she also makes and sells handmade Junk journals, Check out the link below

.https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/JulieKirk?section_id=15279257&ref=shopsection_leftnav_1

For all you beginners out there, this blog post will be a great help to you, it has a great list of supplies you can use that most of us have in our homes

http://thescrapinator5000.weebly.com/blog/junk-journals-what-papers-do-i-use

Here is a GREAT  you tube video on how to make a JJ by Jennifer Priest

https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=50&v=Vg4UOM0WBhA

Jennifer also has a blog

http://www.jenniferppriest.com/make-junk-journal/

Always remember there are no rules or guidelines to making a junk journal, they can be made with whatever materials you have to hand, they can be any size, with as many or as little pages you desire, you can use them for any purpose,  they do not have to look like someones else's journal, a journal of any sort is for personal use by its owner so tailor it to your likes, I have found in the past trying make a journal like the one i have saw on YT or Pinterest makes it harder to create, because that person has made it for them not me ! if we all made these the same it wouldn't be fun ! we all have our own style in all aspects of life that's what makes us unique !

Tea or coffee dying your Papers & Ephemera

Hi All 

I know alot of you are pro's at tea or coffee dying your Paper & ephemera for your journals or other projects, for those that are new to Tea or coffee dying here are some video's to help with the process...

if using copy or thinner paper i wouldn't recommend leaving the paper in the water long as it becomes very fragile and will tear or rip, dip in and out, for thicker papers you can leave it to soak

the darker the mixture the darker you papers will turn out. 

Check out these links for some tips

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLI_MKRGpqQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWiMOBOGdHs 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NclJQpQs14M

after drying your papers you can keep them ruffled looking of Iron them flat, I would suggest using a scarp piece of paper on top of your dyed paper so it doesnt mark or burn it, keep your iron on a low to medium heat and turn of the steam.

always take care with hot water, heat tools and ovens they can burn those creative fingers !! 

I hope this has been useful to you.
