Faux Leather Travelers Journals With a Twist

I was fortunate enough to be gifted some very nice faux leather fabric samples a while back.  At first I wasn’t sure what to do with them, until I came across a journal in a craft store that give me an idea of how to put them to use.  This is one of the first ones I made.

I recently decided that it was time to make a few more.  After sewing the covers together, I decided that I wanted to do something besides a plain cover, so I decided to create some vignettes on each one.

Here is how they turned out.

To say I love them is indeed an understatement!

Nature Study Junk Journal

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, so I just wanted to share some of what I’ve been working on.

Enjoy!

Mermaid Themed Junk Journal

After making my first junk journal, I knew I was hooked, so I decided to alter a book and create another one.  I found this amazing mermaid book at Half Price Books, so I decided that would be my theme.  I bought another mermaid book and found some vintage mermaid images and from that, I created my first Mermaid Junk Journal.
