Junk Journal with lots of junk

Hey guys. I'm back in the studio after a few days staying at mom and dad's with my sister while dad spent a long weekend away getting some well-deserved relaxation. Mom is doing okay physically, but confusion and disorientation is rapidly declining. It was a difficult few days seeing her that way, and of course, things won't get any better so we're glad to have her still knowing us and enjoying our time together. 

Crafting is my drug of choice. I'm back to it and loving it immensely. This week's project is a junk journal from scraps. The book itself is all scrap papers and junk papers, as are a lot of the embellishments inside. Even did some sewing. Lots of the embellishments, tags, pockets, etc. are things I've recently made on other craft days. Anyway, hope you like it.

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 30 Z

Guys, I'm out of town for a few days so I've scheduled this one. Be back next week with more crafting. Have a great weekend! Love you all. 

Final day of #abcapril2026 - Z. I'm out of the studio for a few days, but wanted to finish up the awesome ABC series, so these last couple of letters I did earlier and scheduled the posts so you don't miss a thing. What the heck do you do with Z, right? Last year I sort of cheated and did "zine" (magazine). Won't be doing that. Here's my project for Z. 

Jumbo tag measures 7 1/4x3 1/2 inches. "zipper" die by My Favorite Things. So cute for creating hidden messages or gift cards or however you want to surprise your recipient. 

Closer view of the zipper. I also made a teeny one for the mini tag. So cute. And did you also notice the ZEBRAS? A Heidi Swapp stamp. I love them. 

A few black and white stripey elements as well.

#abcapril2026, Day 29 letter Y - Yellow

Folio design by idaizee on YouTube. Love her fabulous ideas and amazing videos. Check out her channel. 

Hanging file folder. Love it! 

Pockets and tags and inserts galore. I used digital files for the 'documents'. 

For the inside pages I used the ochre color swatch 6x8 paper pack by 49 and Market. 

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 28 X

X is a tough one. I put out some feelers and got lots of great suggestions - thank you all so much. Since I did x-ray last year, I wanted to do something different this time and just couldn't get anything else in my head. LOL Here is my offering for the letter X - Day 28, #abcapril2026. 

X - Ten - 10 
Nothing special, just a tag, but I like it! I added a few charms because charms are fab.
