Summer Fun Junk Journal Using Doodlebug Cards and Envelopes

I love junk journals. I've done lots with old Little Golden Books and other things and they're so freeing. You can do whatever you want and whatever feels right in the moment. So for this week's project I decided to decided to push myself and do a different kind of junk journal with my scraps and leftover ephemera. 

I made my cover from some leftover Summer Fun Acetate. I cut it to 7" x 12" and scored it at 5 1/2" and 6 1/2". I punched holes on the top and bottom and added elastic cord. On the front I used stickers from the This and That sticker sheet. At the top I used my Tiny Attacher to add some pieces from the Odds and Ends and Bits and Pieces. I also added a traveler's notebook style closure with some more of the elastic cord. 

Inside are two signatures. For the base of each signature I used leftover papers (Let's Luau and Paradise Palms). Inside I used the Summer Card and Envelope pack to make the pages of each signature. The envelopes work great as pockets. Most of the envelopes I fold in half so half the envelope is on one side and half is on the other. 

As a small, but fun, decoration on some of the envelopes I used the Doodle Stamps. I used the new Flamazing Doodle Stamps, as well as Sea Life and Seaside Summer Doodle Stamps in places. I just thought it was a fun way to use those stamp sets. 

To finish things off I distressed and inked papers to create pockets and other elements. I used a couple of leftover Doodle Pops and and lots of extra Odds and Ends.

I have a video walkthrough and a short process video of how I put my base and signatures together below.
