Artymaze's JIT #7 Play Along


I don't normally work with cardboard, but thought I would have a go with Artymaze's JIT#7 cardboard toppers. Some of these still need work.

Coffee Dyed Papers

I finally got around to dyeing some paper with coffee. It will be part of the papers I am using for the inside pages of the journal in the previous post. The original idea of a Junk Journal was to recycle junk mail and other paper items. Artymaze's series Junk in Trunk carries on with this idea by utilizing all the bits of scraps and packaging we all accumulate in our paper crafting. I used mostly papers from where I tested my printers and some of my misprints. I also utilized my coffee grounds from this morning's batch and brewed them for the second time to make my dye. I will post more pictures of the Junk Journal shown in the previous post once it is finished.

JIT #4 Brown packaging

Utilizing brown packaging (which we all get if we buy anything online) to make a journal cover. It still needs decorating, but I will wait until I know what I am going to put in it. I am leaning more towards a nature theme. Playing along with Artymaze Junk in Truck #4.
