Oh my gosh, I had such a fun time making this little magazine collage journal! I made it to get out of a funk and it accomplished just what I wanted!

Adding Embellishments To The Journal

I love adding bits and bobs to my journals! For this one I originally thought I would do dark and broody, but then my granddaughter Emmy liked it so I decided to make it more fun and whimsical!

I added little flowers to the pages!

And also a stash dangle! Here is how to make paperclip dangles!

I also added dangles to the peep through page - of course I picked a little girl so that Emmy would notice it!

I also wanted to include the other pages of the journal so you could see all the other pages!

Here is the "frenemies" page from the journal! I love the added dimension of the glued on bejeweled flower!

Here is the super cat, chick and jeep page! I love how this page turned out and the black embossing on the background!

Last but not least I love this purple grape haired lady! And thank goodness I found a cute place to put that salami garland and little fox cat!

Finishing Up The Mini Magazine Collage Journal

I love that my grand daughter Emmy loves this journal! I am just so happy that anyone in my family likes my art... hahahaha!

With that in mind it came out way cuter than I thought it would during the early stages, but for sure this process helped me get back in the saddle to making again!
