Junk Journal Page : Valentines

Another page in my "Quarantine" Junk Journal.  I made the journal nice and thick, so I still have a lot of pages to fill.  

The page theme is "Valentines" ... I started the page by using colored pencils over texture plates, and added some doggies clipped from a Kroger ad.  Mix in some paper flowers, acrylic gems, washi tape, doodles and acrylic paint ... and there you have it.  All that is missing is some text - words, names, initials, poetry, etc...  But I lost my Valentines mojo, so that will have to wait a bit.

C'est la vie.

Junk Journal Page: What I Ate

This is a collage I made in my "Quarantine Junk Journal".  I started this junk journal in March 2020 (and am still filling it up).  It measures about 8" tall by 6" wide and is about an inch thick.  It is assembled from a variety of papers (printed scrapbook papers, pages from an old sketchbook, puzzle book pages, junk mail, envelopes, brown paper, corrugated cardboard, plain typing paper, etc ...).

The page is themed "What I Ate", and is a collage using clippings from food packaging and fruit stickers.  I had a page from a "Trader Joe's" (grocery store) flyer bound into my junk journal, so I used that as my base.  I love to see the brand logos and packaging graphics, and how they change over the years.
