This is stunning Johanna....I love your collage cover books and the way you put everything together inside. I never would have thought of making a charm with the pieces you used...so creative and inspiring TFS 😀
Dear Johanna! What a LOVELY book. I love those game pieces and also stash them in a little box because I want to use them in a special project one day. A JJ could be a good idea ;) Thanks for the inspiration and keep having fun creating such pretty things ;) Huggies from Germany, Avalonia
wow Johanna, so unexpected. I love sending RAKs just cuz, not for anything in return. This book is beautiful and so perfect too for a newbie to junk journals. the design is beyond. love the pockets and pattern papers mixed with other goodies. the charm and cover alone are quite lovely. I am so grateful and be sure I will make great use of it. Thank you!
Oh I know you never expected anything in return but I had to! I'm just sorry it has taken me so long! I think I just needed to gain the momentum to use the stuff in this way, to cut or alter things and be okay with it because they were so cool just they way they were. X
This is so beautiful! I'm new to junk journals and working on making my own. Can you tell me how you attach different papers to the cover? It is with mod podge? I love your work!!
Thank you! I prefer to use PVA glue for a lot of my attaching haha. We call it PVA here in Aus, but I think they have a different name for it in other countries. It is essentially a wood glue, so it's quite strong when working with chipboard, fabric etc. For the plastic piece I attached on the front, I made sure to sand he back before I glued so that it would have something to hang on to. Hope this helps!
I really love this journal. love the idea that you used a old book. Wonder how you take the book pages out of the book. Since the cover is quite thick, did you sew this as the other journals. wonder how you do it. Really want to try. Thanks love all your videos
