For nearly 50 years, I have been making things mostly with a needle and thread and now with paper for scrapbooking and junk journals. I am a firm believer in keeping memories alive so in my sewing,quilting and paper creations, I always want to make them with a memory or a reason. I create, with hopes of sharing cherished memories of the past or creating treasured memories for the future.
Junk Journal for a Teen boy (masculine theme) Chris - Part 2
I have been working on getting junk journals for my grand kids to have when I relocate out of state so that they can keep some of their memories in a safe place. This one is part 2 of the one I made for my (almost) 16 year old grand son. He is a step grand son, so we are just getting to know each other so this journal is also one where he can take out what I use if he doesn't like it but still have the use of the page for things he does like. It is on YouTube.. but here it is also... hope you enjoy watching it, get some good ideas for pages and embellishments. A masculine theme can be a little difficult sometimes, because manufactures seem to cater to the female theme more,but we crafters always find a way around that!
Plus... this junk journal also includes embellishment from ...actual junk mail, some actual "things" that have been used, some cash - in unique form and description and how I used magazine pages as pages in the journal. So.. take a look! Let me know what you think!
If you missed (or want to watch again) Part 1....here it is!
Thanks for stopping by and...keep on preserving those memories!
