Junl Journal- Garden Party Ephemera/ Junk Journal Page For A SWAP

Hello and Welcome

We have beautiful sunshine it is a gorgeous day here.  I am thinking of flower gardens so I thought I would share the ones I am working on

I apologize my computer is being cranky so I had to load the pics from my phone...These are out of order.

This is a journal page.  It is 8 1/2 x 11" and is folded in half.  This  is the back.  I absolutely adore how this page turned out.  My SWAP partner asked for red and pink flowers.  She also likes very neutral backgrounds.  
The Holly Hocks were actually jornal cards that I 
copied on my printer.  I fussy cut the flowers and applied bright pink ink to the flower edges and some pale green ink by the steams.  The are two flowers and I layered them.
They are layered on a tuck spot.

A view of the inside which would be page 3.  I used 2 scrap book papers for the outside and inside.  I sewed around all 4 edges to attach them together. On this page I used a colorful floral pattern and made a pocket to hold the tea dyed paper.  I cut the tea dyed paper in various widths then folded and sewed together to make a notebook.

The instructions were to make lots of room for jounaling/writing while making the page(s) pretty.

Following the instructions I made plenty of writing space. The tea dyed paper is attached. I attached the tuck the flower seed packet with washi and tucked in a journaling card. The large card is attached with washi also.

I finished up some Ephemera (little things that go in Junk Journals)
for the Flower Theme Junk Journal I am working on. 

This is the almost finished piece.  I thin it needs some lace or 

fibers.   

What do you think?

I chose pinks because I had not done any pink yet for the Journal. 
I started with a foundation piece and pinked two edges and then added some pink ink to the edges and softly all over.  

This is the finished foundation piece.

When I add text I try to find something that relates to what I am working on.  This was an add from a stitchery story.  It was in a free newspaper printed in the early 90's in Colorado.  It was one of those you could find in crafting, quilting stores and antique shops.

I wanted my piece to have kind of a waterfall layered effect where you could see each piece under the one above.

I was please with myself when I found these pieces to add. 
The Party ticket is from a current Happy Birthday scrap book 
kit.  The Garden word is cut from the cover of a quilt pattern. 

Cutting the word from the pattern was perfect for my little project. 
This quilt was published in several sections so I have 12 of these covers.  I am using one complete cover as a page in the Journal.

This is the cover showing the completed quilt.  Did I make/finish the quilt.  Well it's one of those U.F.O.'s we quilters have.  Since I found it in a book I have put the pattern on my desk as a reminder 

I want to work on it again.  

All finished.  I still think it needs maybe some bling and lace.

Yesterday I worked on a little note book with a fabric cover.  It turned out so cute.  Here is a sneak peek of the fabric I used on the cover.  

I hope you enjoyed visiting my craft room today 

Have A Great Day
