There are also a set of general directions included, but, the main thing to remember is to ink the edges of these after cutting the items out. The photos of the precut pages show you before inking. The photos with the cut-out items are when I have inked the edges. It's very inexpensive to get a little black ink pad and then you smudge the edges with black ink using a make-up sponge. Ink pads last for a long time if you decide to use one on this project. A slightly different effect can be had if you run a black magic marker along the edge of your cutout pieces to give them a shabby-chic, grungy, vintage look. I use magic marker for the smaller objects.

I LOVE junk journalling!! It's so much fun to do it every day, and I especially like to use fresh images daily for my own process.
