My mom grew up in the depression & there were a couple of tragedies in her life at that time, but she always remembered that time as being happy! Her mom also showed the kids how to make art out of trash! They used the little foil lids from the milk bottles! Years later my mom showed her children how to do that also! I had completely forgotten about that! Thanks for the memories!! I routinely use Amazon packaging for my journal covers. Most of my tags start off as the thicker junk mail pieces, which I back with the brown packing paper. I also like saving lettering & labels from kitchen stuff, sometimes they are used as ephemera, just a few decades later than all the TH tiny snippets! It’s really fun to discover what can be used, rather than tossed away! Thank you, for sharing your creativity with us ! Erica❤

That is great! something I can do! Thanks for your idea

[debbiereed]

What a fantastic way to emboss. Gave me inspiration. So pretty!

[serendipityintended]

You ask a good question about using junk in our junk journals-for me, a mix of junk and reuse and new stuff. Oh, and thanks for the embossing idea! No yogurt lids, but tin foil would also work…and THAT I have!

[AurorasWindow]

This is great! I also don’t have any embossing tools so o tried to emboss vellum and paper using a white gel pen. Yours turned out amazing! Such a great idea!

[giselalemus]

You are truly special! Watching you create is very inspiring, to see you make your pages out of junk makes me appreciate all that I have. The simplicity really helps. Thank you for sharing your ideas and creativity.

[ChantelleArts]

so beautiful, I love that you've made it 3D! keep it up friend 🥰

[Lac-mq]

Thinking outside the box!! Beautiful and creative ❤

[job]

Yes, you are right, if you do it your own idea of creativity, you won't need to hoard beautiful papers, stickers and constantly buying online for more. If you really are creative art person, even from a simple wraps of snacks you can make it into something beautiful. I tried less stuff buying online for my junk journal it's so exhausting and cost me a lot. Thanks for inspiration of your authenticity of making your own junk journal. 😊

Very pretty. You're right, it doesn't need anything else. I decided last year, as I am 83, only to use what I have in the apartment, and thus far I still find plenty to work with and it gives me more joy

[cozyfoxtale]

Awesome idea to use the metallic shimmer of this piece! Beautiful spread!!!❤️😊🌟

[janecameron]

Such a simple way of creating embossed effect. Thanks for the inspiration.

[lizmiller]

What a great idea!! this looks way better than my embossing with embossing tools!

[madrewood]

This is the best I like the hand method more the machine gadget

[eileenthomas]

Thank you so much for the unusual idea - I have copied it by using an old yoghurt lid. It isn’t as good as yours but works for me.❤️🌷🎶

[LoveIsInTheHouse]

I’m a bit behind on my days but I’ll get there lol I still homeschool one child of mine and today I was teaching her how to use a sewing machine.. I love how you thought outside the box with this and yes I am absolutely using my trash for junk journal January which I think it’s super awesome to do because I don’t have to buy nothing and I’m literally using what I have even if it’s the stuff I would be throwing away., it’s just a great way to use it.. anyway thanks for showing us what you are doing!!! 💜💜✌️

[aliwallie]

This is a brilliant idea - I was stumped as I don’t have any embossing equipment. I love it - have subscribed😀

[jayneterry]

Super! We dont recycle those here and im always perturbed by that so im trying it for sure! Tyfs ♥️🇨🇦.
I forgot to leave my comment yesterday . I loved the way you found storage for Christmas cards . 👍🩷

[Angel-Ink]

Great idea, i was thinking of using one of my embossing folders, but this shows you really dont need all that 🤩

[susan]

Love it! Just yesterday I looked at a foil lid and thought what can I do with it. And here you are showing me. My family probably thinks I am crazy😅. Don't care because I love it! Thanks for sharing!❤️
