Flip Through Video: Iona's Junk Journal #3

Sharing the flip through of another finished junk journal. I really love the process of making these journals. It's so easy to open up the notebook and finish a page, since the journal is created with interesting papers and layers. You have to go with what you've got, so there's no space to sit around and wonder what you should do. Also, calling something junk just takes away a lot of pressure. Do things need to match, not when it's junk. Can I put this element here, of course I can, it's junk!

You can read all about my process here, including how I assemble and stitch my journals.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from this junk journal. You can see all the photos here.

@Doska: It's actually not that hard to handstitch a journal. I have a tutorial here: https://www.digitalscrapbook.com/blog/project-home-page-junk-journals

Thank you Marisa for your reply. So then it's all pure handwork, admirable and all this still besides the maintenance of the PixelScrapper site.

@Doska: I don't use a sewing machine, I don't have one either.

That looks wonderfully pretty, but unfortunately I no longer have a sewing machine, but I could sew by hand, is not much. Also, today I subscribed to your channel in YT. Even just watching is a rest and inspiration.

About Me

Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!

I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!

I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!

If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.
