Here are the inside cover and the dedication
page of my new Pita Box 2025
Junque Journal...
The little faux flower holds the first
journaling card
[with the clock
representing
New Year's Eve]
closed...
and...
My Mom as a little girl (top R)
appears on her
bicycle in this bit
of very old torn photograph...
{ 10 years ago this June
she will have been gone}.
I have unearthed a very old family
album with photos glued in on
black papers which I plan to use
throughout my Journal this year..
and,,,,
As usual, I am using
scraps from magazines,
torn papers, dyed papers,
junk mailings,
flat-backed beads,
stampings, and a bit
of mixed media
to decorate these pages...
Below are the 2nd and 3rd pages
partially begun...
on them, others will be on journaling cards,
and some hidden...
********************************
Also this year I am following Youtuber's
"Caroline on the Hillside's"
prompts--one per week for
all 52 weeks in my
re-allocated Seed Catalogue.
I have some pages gessoed or
painted to push back
the images
therein...
I cut this down to be a tall Traveler's
Journal size...
I have begun prepping this
double page spread...
and here is a gessoed apread...
and....
spine in the pages with washi tapes...
It is really nice to work on other than
stark white pages.....
leaving some of the original page
and covering the rest...
*********************************
This is where I stand at the beginning of the
New Year with my paper crafting...
It really does bring me relaxation
and
