My First Junk Journal: thatsjustpenny digi kit

I started collecting "junk" for junk journals a few months ago, and my box of junk mail, cardboard, packaging, etc. is getting to the point where it is starting to flow out onto the floor.  Once I started saving paper items that I would normally recycle, I started to see EVERYTHING in terms of how I can use it in a junk journal (including the plastic wrappings that are part of product packaging). 

 I used the Peacock Boho Digi Kit from thatsjustpenny for the embellishments and overall design inspiration.

Junk: envelopes, bills, packaging, etc.

Paper board used for the cover

 Inside cover: print from the peacock boho digi kit

 I gelli-printed the junk pages, using colors inspired by the peacock boho digi kit

 Sampling of the printed junk pages

 I created 3 signatures to sew into the journal. I used the pamphlet stitch to bind them.The binding doesn't end up showing, because I attached a bunch of different fibers and beads to the spine.

 I used the pieces that I cut off from the  journal pages (in order to make them fit inside the book) to decorate the cover. 

 I created paper beads with the left-over pieces of the paper from the digi kit that I used on the spine and inside the cover.

 The spine, feathers, and beautiful circle embellishment are from the thatsjustpenny digi kit.

 I mounted the journaling cards from the  digi kit to some packaging that I gelli-printed.

 I edged them in gold and added fibers.

 I tucked the journaling cards into different envelopes.

 I used the circle embellishments from the kit to make these bottle cap paper clips.
