Junk Journal: Pockets & Ageing Documents

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it. This week as part of my Junk Journal series I  am making a pocket from a book page, decorating it and ageing scanned vintage documents to go in it.  I am very excited that this second journal is almost complete. I have decided that this will be a single signature journal and I will have a go at making a fabric cover. I have been buying some great offcuts and scarfs from charity shops so have some lovely pieces to chose from. I have been waiting for a sewing machine in my price range to come back in stock and am delighted that one is and it arrived today. 

Junk Journal: Pockets & Ageing Documents


Measurements & Materials


  • I scored at about 1" on 3 sides of the rectangle of the book page
  • Cut diagonally across the bottom 2 corner
  • All edges were inked
  • The 3 sections are turned in and glue applied so it can be attached to the page
  • The pocket was decorated 
  • I aged the printed scanned documents by 
    • printing onto parchment paper
    • folding along where they were originally folded
    • all creased and edges were inked
    • splatters were stamped on 
    • coffee cup stains were also stamped on
