I like the combination of the two pages. The "peeking out" page is fantastic. I guess I am more of a minimalist when it comes to collage because I would not add anything to the right hand page. I like the simplicity of the page - sometimes I think pages become too busy when more and more elements are added.
It is simply perfection just the way it is! The florals go together well and the page looks so vintage pretty!!!!
Love it! 💜 I wouldn't add too much more, if anything at all, to the right side page.
This is an awesome idea. And just think...you saved from the garbage and made beautiful, unique art!!
Meg I am really enjoying JJJ24 thank you for puttting this all together
Cool idea. I found myself wanting to use my circle punch to create the sticker backing you used but it’s more satisfying to use junk in the junk journal, right? I like that you’re still using you handmade washi too!
It's a interesting idea! Love how you incorporated the numbers 🥰
great take on the prompt. I love your page... I would leave it as is... 😃👍🏼
I love the way you trusted the process here. The page looks great! I've looked at pieces like you had and think it could be something so this is inspiring. :)
Lovely! Looks like the second page is incorporated into your design❤
Love this page
You have brilliant ideas Meg, love your channel😍
I love this! What a great page!!!
I never use pink, don't like pink but you make pink beautiful and I even did a pink page for the opposite prompt! Thanks
❤❤❤
I really love this idea!! Looks really good
another great creation!
It must take you ages when you out the rubbish out! I'm beginning to trust the process, thank you.
🤣
Very clever to use the leftover circles from the felt pads! Love this page xoxo
Fun page.
Such fun watching you create!!
I love it. What a great idea to use that packaging. You are so creative and good at thinking outside the box.
This is so stunning, so many amazing ideas ☺☺
🥰 One of my favourites!
Love this! Can you send a link to the washi tape you used?
Hi - I'm a newbie to junk journaling. Actually, I have only watched videos so far - haven't actually started the process yet. Question: Do you write in the journal, or is it a place to be creative where every page is like a little piece of art? Thanks - I have really enjoyed watching your videos. Even joined Get Messy ; )
No I don't do much writing other than quotes, it's just for artsy play! :)
I love your style. May I ask, what is the pink paint that you used here? Brand and color name? Thank you
Daler Rowney Systems 3 Acrylic in pink blush :)
Love this! Can you send a link to the washi tape you used?
It's called mt Washi Masking Tape 30mm x 7m Encyclopedia / Plant
