More junk pages

 








Here are some more of my pages and no particular reason I did them. Most of these seem to feature a vintage theme.

Junk Journal fun.

 


I bought this kit from Artstacks to give it a try. I've long been an admirer of Lisa Oxley.

I recently started a Junk Journal so here are the pages I made with this kit.

Junk journal paper bag conversion.

 I started with a small bag from the donut shop.


Next, I glued muslin on the top of it.


Then I edged it with antique lace making a frame. I added paper across the frame and added smaller tags


I glued it to the left-hand side of the page.


In the top pocket (bag) I put a matching tag.

The tag top peeks out of the pocket

Tic tac toe (again)

 

After making the last card, I realized I missed the cut off point for that challenge. This is the current one.

I chose to go across the middle row. I used gold cardstock then added a yellow spotted paper. I made another embossed piece of card and added fine pearls. My sentiment says it's the little things that count.



tic tac toe

 


My 85-year-old neighbour (a widow) met a man last year and has now announced her engagement.

I felt I needed to give them a card.


Using my cuttlebug, I put some card through to make a script embossing. I inked it with opera pink Versa Colour. I added a strip of that on my pink background. Next, I added a flower strip and my sentiment. All this is on gold card, so it looks extra special for the occasion.

Sketches in Thyme #710

 


This layout is for sketches in Thyme.

My daughter wanted to find her school reports. I searched the house but couldn't see them.

She looked in the garage and threw out quite a lot while searching (hooray). They were found eventually in a box. I used black as my background with ferns instead of flowers. I added bling to my title to add a bit more colour.


************************

I used a scrap of leftover paper to make this card for Make my Monday.

They want flowers.

Paper Issues sketch on board ship

 

I had 3 photos i took from the top of the ship to scrap.This layout suited that.

I started by doing a purple wash on the background white paper..Then I cut strips from mainly blue papers in my scrap bag. I also added a strip of antique lace. The photos are double matted on card and vellum.

I use stickers from Cocoa vanilla summer fun. Somewhere, I have a lifebuoy, which I will add to bottom left-hand corner when I find it.
