Junk Journal Beginner Series: Let's Collage May's Memories

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

I am bringing you another instalment of my new series over on my YouTube channel. It is junk journal series for beginners. I wanted to find a quick way of recording my memories. I keep lots of tickets and ephemera and take loads and loads of photos but never get round to doing anything with them despite making journals and owning lots of scrapbooks! I am sure I am not alone in this. We set out with these great intentions but there just isn't enough time. A number of years ago I discovered smash books and I managed to records quickly in these so thought maybe I could do this sort of thing. So I got out the glue book I had made from an old retired Stampin' Up! catalogue and decided to collage a month on a double page. It is not particularly pretty but I just wanted to record the memories. I am hoping that this will help me develop good habits. I started with April and today I am bringing you May. I wanted to start from where we were rather than go backwards. I do intend to complete the whole year but as ever I run out of time!  With this month I decided to add some colour to the background with a watercolour wash. I also decided to draw a frame around each of the pictures to make them stand out better. This was something I used to do in my smash books and I really like the result. I also added some little die cuts and other embellishments to add interest to the layout.
