Junk Journal January Days 4

Have you ever junk journaled before? It's such a fun way for me to use my stash and carve out some creative time in a mixed paper journal. I already shared some inside pages and close-up pics here, and here are Days 1-3 of the Junk Journal January challenge. I've been playing along with this green + blue themed mixed paper journal.

JUNK JOURNAL JANUARY

Day 4 | Morning Pages
I’m not even sure what morning pages are, but here you go - and it’s done and was fun. I'll let you in on a little secret...this page spread may have been done at a time that wasn't technically morning. What???

The date journaling spot is something I'm thinking of adding the shop, in a variety of colors, and decided to give it a test run. For my journaling, I punched it out with my 1" circle punch and used a foam dot to adhere it off center to the circles on my pattered cardstock.

I used my black pen to doodle some around my page a few times.

Day 5 | Textured
Let’s see, I used a stencil and molding paste, a torn paper doily, a journaling spot, a white tag I watercolored and stamped, stickers and a printable date die cut round.

There’s a mix of goodies from my stash as well as goodies from my Etsy shop. The roller skate stamp prompted me to document my lingering thoughts on the first time I went roller skating as a kid. I was probably in the 5th grade, very shy and had short hair.

And yeah, I was too shy back in the day to tell those skating rink people that I wasn't a boy, even if I did have short hair, and that I wanted a pair of girl skates.

Day 6 | Stickers
Anyone else ever walk in on their kids with a whole roll of your self stick stamps going to town with a random sheet of paper? I know I can't be the only one.
