Junk Journal

 this time I have done something out of my comfort zone. We are all getting those paper bags from the supermarkets, book shops etc. So I grabbed one of the many & opened it up all the way, then folded it up from the bottom & folded that again sideways until it was a lot smaller. I ended up with eight pages so 16 sides to use. I sliced through all the folds to open up each page.

I grabbed a handful of Memory Maze stencils mostly the 4 x 4 ones & stenciled each page with Tim Holtz Distress Oxides in Vintage Photo & Lost Shadow & did layer upon layer to give depth.

 I also used some Seth Apter Ice on a couple of pages ( mainly to cover the brand on the bag)

Then I made all of my Ephemera from my stash, inked all the edges. There are serviettes, tassels, pins, washi tape, eyelets, brads, stamps, altered playing cards, doilies, lace & chipboard used throughout. One page at a time it came together until I finally finished it. I must say I am rather pleased with the way t worked out. Hope you like it & have a go using a shopping bag.
