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.
When we hear "junk Journal" we always seem to think... many signatures! I know I do. I want as much as I can get in the book! But.. sometimes a single signature is all we really need. So I did a swap with a friend, and we agreed.. single signature journal and our own style. Once swapped.. it turned out.. we both had such totally different styles...it was fun to see hers and learn a different way to junk journal! I learned some new techniques and styles from her and she said she was impressed with my style and was looking forward to using some in her next journal!
So it all worked out great...I did something I had never done, learned something new and made a new friend! And just think.. all because of some "junk"!!!!
I did a short video about it... if you'd like to check it out!
Thanks for stopping by and...keep on preserving those memories!
