Junk Journal Beginnings...

Hello everyone, I hope you all are having a fabulous Tuesday.  I wanted to share the beginnings of my Junk Journal.  I covered a 5 subject composition book that I bought at a local stamp store.  I had bought a bunch of the cheaper ones at Walmart but I had packed them away.  Go figure!  I knew as soon as I boxed them up that I would think of something to do with them.   Then I went through my stash when i found these old Ann Griffin papers and I thought I'm going to use these papers on something.   So, when I got the composition book today and I knew those papers would go perfect.  I had some extra book binding cover from that same local stamp store that I had purchase awhile ago and I wanted to use them but I couldn't decide which color to use on my book so I ask Nicci over at Myscraproom.ning.com for some help.  She said the light brown one looks great and I totally agreed with her.  So, here is the beginnings of my Junk Journal.  I will show more as I embellish it and then show you all what I'm doing inside.  Enjoy...

I got this idea from Dee (deettle on Youtube).  Thanks dee.  She saw a video on the preparation of a junk journal.  I also watched it and had to try it.  Here is the LINK to that video.   She really explains what it is and how to make one.  So go check her out.  I can't wait to start adding all kinds of do-dads to this book. 

Thanks everyone for stopping by and I have a great week.

Hugs, Friday
