Junk Journal.

Hi everyone, I have several journals that I class as junk journals. Some are regular journals or sketch books that I use to make pages with leftover items, as well as some stamping, stencilling and collage with bought papers.

This one is a true junk journal.

The cover is made with some painted bubble wrap and all of the pages are chosen for their texture or the sound they make when they are turned.

Four of the pages are made from a chocolate wrapper.

You can probably guess what first attracted us to this chocolate but I must say that the chocolate itself is delicious never mind whose name it is. This particular flavour is my favourite. On here I just added a pice of leftover paper from a page in a journal.

The plant images here came from a magazine and a leaflet

This one has a piece of gelli printed paper, a sugar wrapper from a coffee shop in Salzburg  and a small wrapper from a pack of mini chocolates

This page has a piece of leftover background from some card making, the bird is part of some wrapping paper and the green scallop paper was the backing from a craft item.

I am going in at Art Journal Journey where Elizabeth's theme is 'Recycle, Reuse, Repurpose' 

Thanks for looking, Chris
