A Tiny Junk Journal

I made this little journal (3 2/4" x 2 3/4 in) yesterday and finished it today. The scans are taken in order: 1st one is front (Bingo) and back cover; then the inside of the front and page 1; followed by the inside pages; the final one is of the last page and the inside of the back cover. Text is Lorem Ipsum, printed on tea-dyed vellum.







A second batch of mini envelopes

I've put together a second batch of mini envelopes.  These are still in the same size range as the first group posted, measuring from under 1 inch to about 2 inches.

Mini Journals with Envelope covers

Three mini journals I made today . Size is about 4 inches tall. There are just a few pages in the journal insert. All the paper is hand dyed, even the green one, although I did use white inside the inner booklet. for the signature pages on these two.

Tiny Envelope Ephemera

In a serious effort to clean off my messy work space, I spent a morning creating these tiny envelopes.  They range from just under an inch (butterfly one at top left) to about 2 inches tall.  Since my desk was crammed with all the neutral papers from the bird journal, those were the ones I used. 


Pages from the Envelope Journal of Birds

I've been working on a journal made from envelopes, with a focus on birds.  This is a fun project and I've been working on it for several weeks, whenever I have a few minutes.  I'm showing the cover and a few of the inside pages. 





A few Tags

I've joined a Facebook Junk Journal Makers group, and as part of the process, each new member is assigned several tasks during the "boot camp" phase.  These tags were made on top of a template provided by the group.  I ended up covering most of the provided images with ones of my own.  Here are the results:
