Junk Journal January - Magazine Prompt

I've been working through the Junk Journal January prompts, led by @megjournals on Instragram. The prompt for this spread was "magazine." I love good old-fashioned paper magazines that arrive in my real mailbox. Something other than bills and junk mail! I'm always tearing things out of the magazines to use in my art journals.  

I created this junk journal I'm working in from a vintage children's book. It's a fun little book because it started with one story on one side, "Toby Tyler," and another story from the opposite side, "Rip Van Winkle." I took out the book block and sewed in three new signatures created from random papers, thus a "junk journal." I really enjoy working in these because it 100% takes the pressure off! 


How about you? Have you ever tried junk journaling? Interested in learning more? Let me know what you think!

Oh wow, love the elephant cover side of your junk journal and the spread with the flowers is so yummy!

I did her challenge once too, but I have a hard time with some of the literal prompts. I think I'm more of a intuition kind of gal.
