Red and Black Junk Journal Layout Share

Howdy!

 

I started on a new junk journal towards the end of last week.  This journal's color scheme is going to be black and red and I wanted to share with you the first page and flip out.  I will try and share sources for items that are still available.  The links are affiliate links, which means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I earn a small commission from the sale.

 

Remember a few blog post ago when I said I had a bunch of those mini books in my stash?  I wasn't kidding... I had bought a ton of them to do classes with and never got around to it before I moved.  Thank goodness because they make a wonderful base for junk journals!

 

The right hand page is one of the flips that I shared in my turning a mini book into a junk journal series.

 

 

I created a belly band on the left so I would have a place to stuff that mini journal I shared on Instagram.  It is created using a piece of black and white patterned paper (this paper is on clearance for $5!!) that I layered onto 80lb cardstock so that it is nice and strong.

 

For the middle page, I used a page out of a planner that I had on hand.  I turned the corner up to create a flip to stash a few tags and journaling spots. 

 

I create most of my embellishments by using things from my stash.  While I was looking up the black and white patterned paper, I found 2 other things I used on this page in the clearance section.  I used this Postage stamp stamp and one of the pennants from this sticker pack to embellish the large tag.

 

The right hand flip out page was done with retired paper and then I added some vintage book page to it.  I used a small doily to create the flip to hold a few more tags.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by,
