Junk journal

Shop

I sell printable digital images to DOWNLOAD and PRINT at home as often as you like.

I’ve been collecting vintage ephemera for more than 5 years now. I use it for art collage work, and for embellishing junk journals I make from scratch.

Clicking on the image will take you directly to my Etsy page for further information and images.

A Deck of Prompt Cards

A deck of 25 cards x 2 prompts per card = 50 prompts

Prompt cards are a fun way to encourage you to create collage art. Use the prompts to assign yourself collage challenges. Here’s an example of how they can be used:

  1. Shuffle them and draw five random cards
  2. Choose a sixth, but set it aside
  3. Look at your five drawn cards. Determine if you can easily find paper samples of the prompts
  4. If you do not have one of the five, put it back into the deck and use the sixth prompt as a substitute
  5. If needed, use a piece of pattern paper, and other embellishments such as a piece of washi tape or a rubber stamping

  • Playing with old envelopes this morning. Too bad this postmark isn't clearer. I'm guessing it says 1884. .

  • Here's what I came up with. I've got two larger colorful images on both pages and several background papers that I've cut or torn down to the needed size. All original papers from the 1890s to the 1920s. The only non-original thing is the washi tape to reinforce the gutter of the book pages. .

  • What's on my desk today. It might stay like this for 48 hours at least. Often, with the very old original pieces, it takes a while before it all comes together. I have to place and arrange and swap and shift until it's just right. The time it takes is part of the whole process.
