I made this junk journal from salvaged papers and cardboard. The pages are a mix of vintage and modern, magazine pages, art paper and recycled calendar pages. I painted many of the papers used in this journal with colors to match the cover papers.
The cover is made from a vintage 1970s recipe card box and the last recipe card left in the box is included as a journaling card. The front cover which was the box lid has a gorgeous fuschia background. The spine is covered with a cream colored fabric and the pages are sewn in with a hidden binding.
The journal includes hand painted journaling cards, some matching vintage stamps and other ephemera and comes with a "stuffed pocket" full of coordinating scraps. Also includes a matching tasseled bookmark made from a side of the box lid.
