Junk Journal Pages

Hello Everyone!

As you can probably tell from my last few posts - I am addicted to Junk Journaling! I have had a love of creating hand bound books and mini Album but I never Junk Journaled! It is a whole new world that I am learning and my favourite embellishments (Southern Ridge chipboard) is working wonderfully! Just meant to be! 

The best part is that because they are gorgeous just as they are 'raw', not much needs to enhance there detail or beauty. For my pages that you will see below, I used 3 colours of Treasure Gold that was gifted to me at the Creativation Mega Show in Phoenix this past January. Southern Ridges Booth was next door to the wonderful and talented owners of Paper Artzy out of England. Using my finger tip, I applied the wax gilt to the chipboard pieces. It goes on so smooth and tries incredibly fast! And that is it!  

Here I used the vintage scissors from the Dressmaker Mix set. Perfect!

I love how this one turned out! I only applied glue to the base of the wing. This will allow me to use it as a tuck spot for other items.

Above, I used a small bird from the Swooping Birds set. Love it!

Dragonfly Journal

Hello

During the month of May, each Southern Ridge Design Team member will be using the New Release Zen Dragonfly in their creations. You will be able to see numerous techniques and ideas using the same lovely chipboard embellishment.

For my take, I decided to use it on the cover of a hand-bound Journal that I am making. I used a printout from a Digital Journal kit by ARTYmaze as my pattern paper. Then added the Victorian Circle Square Frame that was painted with Distress paint to the cover. I cut and stamped a 3 1/2 inch pattern paper square from the same kit using a Script stamp with Ranger Coffee Archival Ink. Layered it to a piece of Kraft cardstock, paper distressed the edges and adhered to the center of the frame. 

For the Zen Dragonfly, I glued it down to a piece of inked book paper and fussy cut it out. I then added Rangers Glossy Accents into some of the open detailed sections and sprinkled with  tiny coloured sugar beads. Once dry, I tapped off the excess and adhered the Zen Dragonfly to the frame.
