In my last post, I mentioned that I had exchanged a junque journal with my friend Diana over at www.ddesignspaperpearls.blogspot.com. The book I got back from Diana was amazing!! More on that later, however, because today I'm gonna show you the book I made for her. This was my first ever junque journal. The idea was to create a book that she could just play along with and enjoy. No rules. She can alter, rip, paint, take apart, whatever. I used a lot of scraps and stamps in this book, and I tried some new techniques as well. Photo transfering was so cool!! It worked!! I am definately going to play with that idea again. I also used my stencils and paints and inks and oh whatever I could find. I added vintage pieces, old book pages, handmade paper, metal, postcards, etc.. I love the book. I think it turned out more "art journal" than "junque journal", but thats where the process took me with this project. Tomorrow I will have pictures of the incredible junque journal that was made for me. Awesome!! I can not say enough about how amazing was the journal that I received. Enjoy..
