Crafting a Journal While Stranded

Nov 17: Just finished my #junkjournal for #nikthebooksmith #desertedislandchallenge See the flip through at https://youtu.be/kdVTTsHgrUw

I've been having fun in the craft side of my studio lately! Nik the Booksmith issued a journal making challenge called "The Deserted Island Journal Challenge".

We were challenged to make a journal from scratch with just a few items:

I was limited to 8 items:

#coffeedyedpaper

#fabritac glue

#scissors

#needle and #3plybamboothread

#guttedbook cover

Approximately 12x12" #fabric

One 12x12" sheet of #scrapbookpaper #Authentique #seamaiden #mermaid

#TimHoltzDistressInk #vintagephoto

This was so much fun, though challenging!

I really missed my pen. Here's the finished book and the measly leftover scraps!

I'm almost finished with a surprise addition to this minimal journal. Subscribe to my craft channel to be notified when it will be public! Wait until you see how I blinged it all up!
