Junk Journal

Good Morning,

I have wanted to make a Junk Journal for a long time.  I have several bloggy friends that make them all the time.  I finally got up my courage and started making one...it has taken me a very long time!

Warning, this is a very long post so please grab a cup of coffee or tea and settle in.

I am making this for my friend who is a silent screen film buff.  I thought about using this for my design team International Art & Soul challenge #36 Art Nouveau.  It is very Art Nouveau and Art Deco.



This is the front of the journal.  The paper is from Graphic 45 "Vintage Hollywood"  I love the Art Nouveau paper.  The flowers are handmade.

Here is page 2 of the journal.



Here is page 3. 


Just a nice space to make notes, these are spread through out the Journal.

Page 4.


This is a waterfall page with lots of vintage Hollywood photos

Page 5. 



I took these "film posters" off of Pinterest.  Buster Keaton is one of my friend's favorite actors of the silent screen.

Here is the inside of page 5.



I took the photo of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd off of Pinterest.
