#junkjournaljanuary2025, Day 17

I sure had fun with this one. Ok, fine, Christmas is over, but it still fits the prompt and I was only too happy to jump all over it. If you love A Christmas Story like I do, you'll appreciate the humor. Thanks for checking it out! 

Day 17: FRAGILE

FRA-GEE-LAY - must be Italian

#junkjournaljanuary2025, Day 16

The prompt for today's journal page is unfold. I made a couple of little doors to unfold and take a peek inside. I don't know why or how I went creepish on this one, but I love it. :) Happy Janu-ween. 

Day 16: UNFOLD

I used a lot of Tim Holtz on this page...

...and some digital pieces as well.

Day 15: NEUTRAL

Other than the color scheme, I couldn't come up with anything else for this prompt. I don't drive a stick shift, so that was out. Haha! Anyway, silliness aside, I do like the finished page. 
I made the envelope into a pocket where I tucked in two journaling tags. (They are both blank on the back.)

My book is getting pretty lumpy and we're only halfway through the month.

#junkjournaljanuary2025 Day 14

Goodness, we are halfway through January already. Where has the time gone?! The older you get, the faster it goes. So Day 14, here we go.

Day 14: BALANCE

All the papers on this page, other than the piece of paper doily and flower stickers, are some of the scrap pieces I had leftover from the journaling folio I posted the other day. If you love vintage and ephemera style, you'll love this digital kit from Seven Plaza, called Calligraphy.
The doily is a piece of the distress ink dyed papers I did for the Halloween junk journal. The stickers and the alpha letter stickers are oldie moldies by K&Co. from the Life's Journey collection, and the cello tape is Tim Holtz.
I put the calligraphy pen on foam tape so it looks as though it is balanced on the row of pen nibs.

#junkjournaljanuary2025, Day 13

Today's prompt for the junk journal project is opaque. When I began this page, I had every intention of using vellum. As you can see, the end result has no vellum anywhere. LOL There is plenty opaque going on here without it. Funny how an idea can shift midway through.

Day 13: OPAQUE
