How fast can you make a Junk Journal? For me, it doesn't take long. I have a ready stash for making junk journals, and I bet you do too! We are making junk journals for keeping track of our Decenber activites, lists, parties, gifts, photos, etc.

You will need 27 pieces of junk in this journal, which will make 25 actual 2-page spreads. Even though this is made from our junk, be sure to include lots of seasonal colors if you can. That means green, red, gold, icy blue, silver, etc., etc., etc, The journal's cover should be made from a good quality Christmas card. (Not a flimsy one from the dollar store.) It cab be new or better yet, one from last year! This will make it a handy size to carry with you when you go shopping. Pages can be different sizes. In fact, I encourage it, as long as they fit inside the cover. It adds interest. You can use forms, book pages, ledger pages, pages from cook books or dictionaries or encyclopedias, children's books, junk mail, menus, sheet music....I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Just NO SCRAPBOOK paper pages! You can use bits of scrapbook papers for decorating if you want, but not for the actual pages. You can put tabs on the pages for each day, but this is not a requirement. You can add things like pockets or tags, journaling cards, flaps, anything that will make this a GREAT journal! Don't do too much decorating, though, because your partner has to have room to actually use those pages! lol

Now that I've written a book, let's get down to the brass tacks! This is going to be a quick turn-around so that we can have them really soon! You will have a week to sign up and a week to make and send them. You MUST have a 4.9 or better rating, and no flakers, please! I will be checking profiles carefully. Please send on time and rate your partner in a tinely manner. And most of all, HAVE FUN!!!! That's what junk journals are all about!

PS- If you don't know what a December Daily is, just google it and you will get loads of ideas! If you have any questions, please leave a comment or PM me, and I will do my best to answer.

I love this kind of swap, but I won't be home from Iowa until December 3, so no chance to get anything put together.

why is scrapbook paper a taboo? Everything I saw on the internet uses beautiful scrapbook paper. Not meaning to give a hard time, just curious...

This is a JUNK journal, and scrap paper isn't junk. You are allowed to use it to decorate the pages, just not to MAKE the pages. I hope that explains it. Thanks for asking!
