Hybrid Project: Baby Junk Journal #1

I guess it's been almost a year since I stumbled on this video and was inspired by to make a junk journal for Magnus's first year.

It's been a nice project to do with a baby because a lot of the work is done ahead of time when you make the journal. I just collected papers from the random stash I had. My paper is all one sided, so in many cases I actually printed a paper from DigitalScrapbook.com on the back to add a little more excitement. I also added in a few cut files that I prepared on my Silhouette Cameo.

Working in these junk journals has really made all my dreams come true. I love the random feeling of just sticking stuff in a notebook that is itself already pretty random. And making the journals is fun too! I followed this tutorial for creating the journals.

This is the first of four books that I've finished. And over the weekend I just set up five new journals. So it's safe to say I'm a bit of a fan.

My absolute most favorite thing to do is include shaker pockets with sequins. Why is it so amazing? I don't know, but I can't stop throwing sequins everywhere.

Here's a little video I made if you want a full tour. Thanks for looking!

amazing. I used to do this when my son was younger. Getting back into hybrid scrapping slowly. Doing digital now due to lack of space. Thank you for sharing.

@Christy: I cut up my pocket pages and will use a section, stick sequins in it and then usually close it with washi tape.

I LOVE that you have been "random" with this journal, it's making me think maybe I should do one?
