Mixed Media Shabby Chic Steampunk Junk Journal

Sometimes getting all painty and messy is all part of the fun of making art, this is what a junk journal is all about.  There is no reason, rhyme, or way to do it - you just create and go where you want to with it.  You can use anything and everything in your journal.  Really it is just what inspires you, a chance to really just create with no boundaries!

This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.  Various companies provided me with some product to create this project.  The opinions I share are solely my own.

I started with the A Vintage Girl chipboard items to create this junk journal, and the journal is part of it too!!  My front cover is filled with layers of stencils, bling, flowers, papers, and just steampunk fun!!

I then moved onto the 2nd and 3rd pages.  The back cover of the front page is more like a scrapbook layout, but instead of pictures, they are cut outs from a 6x6 scrapbook paper.  The 3rd page is a section of the A Vintage Girl book that looks like a gear.  I added paint and layers of metal elments until it felt right.

For the 4th page, I gave a bit of relief just just painting the the chipboard and adding a layer of stencil work.  The 5th page is another layered mixed media page fill with elements of all types, really playing up that huge gear chipboard item from A Vintage Girl.

Junk journals are so freeing, and the best part is I can always add more to this book by just opening up the binder rings.  I only used half of the original book, so plenty left to still create!!

10 Sweet Card Ideas with 1 kit

I love these card kits that allow you to make so many cards in just one kit.  This month I made 10 "sweet" cards raning from CAS to shabby chic just just one kit!

Here is a video tutorial on how to make each of these sweet cards

When you have an amazing kit filled to the brim with supplies making cards is easy.  Just pull out supplies that you love and create.  Here are a few of the simple or CAS cards I made with this kit.

I also love it when I can use the same design on one card but use different products, makes it fun!

I also had some fun and went elaborate on some cards, check these out.

Check out these cupcake stamps, they are so cute!!!

Here is the unboxing video so you can all the supplies in this kit, I still have so much to make even more projects with!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
