Steampunk Junk Journal

I finished this journal a while ago and am finally getting around to sharing it and putting into my Etsy shop. You can find the journal listing HERE.

It is 3.5 inches by 5 inches, with a 1.25 inch spine. There are three 10-sheet signatures for a total of 120 pages. The signatures are sewn into the spine with waxed linen thread. Several pages include die-cut gears to further embellish the pages. And I love the color scheme that has pops of teal.

A simple collage adorns the front cover. There is a hitch post closure. And there is a charm on a tab on the front page of each signature.

My Latest Journal: Vintage-Style Ephemera Collage

Sharing some photos of my latest journal.

More photos below.

Here are the details:

• Handmade journal with hard cover and sari silk closure
• The journal measures 3-1/2 X 5 inches with a 1-1/4 inch spine.
• There are three signatures with 12 sheets for a total of 144 pages with plenty of journaling space. The signatures are individually bound with waxed linen thread.
• Signatures are secured to the journal midori-style with elastic cording and can be replaced as you fill them up with writing.
• Pages are printed ephemera images on premium 32# parchment paper, mixed with tea-dyed paper.

Many of the pages in the journal are from my Vintage Ephemera Collage Backgrounds kit found HERE. The remaining ephemera pages are from my Vintage Grunge Ephemera Backgrounds kit found HERE. I've noted below the pictures whether the page is in the Vintage Ephemera Collage Backgrounds kit or the new Vintage Grunge Ephemera Backgrounds kit.

The cover pages are from the ephemera collage kit. I cut down the background pages to fit the covers.

The page on the right is from the Vintage Ephemera Collage Backgrounds kit and the library pocket is from the new grunge kit.

Free Printables: Grungy, Rustic Number Tags with "Metal" Embellishments

I've been in a grunge period with my printables. These tags would be fun in any vintage/grunge style journal. I think the metal embellishments make them useful in a steampunk-style journal as well. These measure about 2 inches by 3-1/2 inches.

 

 

Tags continue below.

The grunge tags would work well with my Vintage Ruler Tags kit.

 

 

The grunge tags would also work well with my Vintage Ruler Backgrounds kit.
