You Do You Mini Junk Album with Cindy Bristow

You Do You Mini Junk Album

with Cindy Bristow

Howdy!

Today I wanted to share the cover of a mini junk album I have been working on.

I've been seeing junk albums pop up in my Pinterest and Instagram feeds for awhile, so I decided I would give it a try. Junk Albums are a mix between scrapbooking and journaling... with a bit of hoarding involved, which fits my crafty style just right! I get to use all of those pretty things I collect and save memories and thoughts all in one place.

A lot of junk journals are made with scrap paper and memorabilia, but I decided to use a Mini Book I had in my stash for my first attempt.

I covered the outside with patterned paper I had been hoarding for a few years. I did the same with the inside, but I will save that for another day.

Here is a close up of the decorations I used on my cover.

I love the"You do You" sentiment I found in the Heidi Swapp Hawthorne Ephemera I grabbed from Scrapbook .com. I also used a bit of this Guilded Life lace trim under the paper flowers. I used gesso and Ink on the flowers to change the color from blue to Pretty Amethyst. The other goodies I used are from my stash and are no longer available, but I am sure you have something in your stash that you could substitute!
