Creating Mixed Media Junk Journal Page In My Craft Room On A Shoe String Budget

I wanted to share this video with all of you. Here you will see how I use a book to create a unique mixed media junk journal page. The book was one that didn't hold my attention....other supplies from my stash and Dollar Tree items are used. 

Many people ask what is the point to this? Great question. My books are small works of art that I keep on a shelf instead of walls. They are treasure's for my children, grand children and family to see. 

What are the guidelines? Good question. First there are no rules. That's right there is no right or wrong. How I love that! I watched many other You Tubers create different kinds of junk journal books. In many different genre's. These included lace/trims, shabby chic, magazine tear parts, life/moments, critter/animal themed and more. 

I became intrigued by mixed media. The textures, dark colors, inks,  metals, and other creative techniques. I found a style that I could truly embrace with joy. I encourage everyone to find a hobby that brings joy and relaxation. I will admit I am trying to spread my wings in other kinds of themes but I keep coming back to mixed media. Enjoy the video above and the process.
