Stepping into Junk Journaling with a first mini journal

 Hello! On my quest for love and country creativity blog, today's posting shares my love for mixed media and junk journaling. 

There's not a lot of junkiness to this mini journal but I do plan to add more embellishments as I come across in my stash boxes. I also need to look through more of my scraps and see if I've got the size used already for upcoming weeks' verses.

Thanks to FB groups CCMWF (Christian Card Makers ~ Women's Fellowship) and JJGP (Junk Journaling Gals and Pals - Beginner's Welcome) for current events to try a different size and way to document Scripture writing. I've done TNs and index card kind of bullet journaling.

I've got 3 photos to show what I got made on Tuesday evening:


OCS Designs/2021/Oceanside, CA for notecard used as the mini journal cover
old stencils used for the sun and the heart cluster
4 colors of cording tied without a knot so that more kraft paper pages can be added later
permanent black marker used for stencils and for writing


the rose, butterfly, and dragonfly stamps are from MSE (My Sentiments Exactly)
turquoise ink pad = Lawn Fawn
black fine tip gel pen for year and title page repeating writing; also used for verses


One single notecard size kraft page was cut in half to use as pockets

adhesive tape was used on 3 sides to adhere and create the 1/2 page pockets

cardstock scrap strips used for each week's assigned verse(s) designated at CCMWF

I'll probably add April's to the left pocket and then do May-July on the right.

Backside of the right page is blank for now and so is the inside back cover.
