I want to share this awesome Junk Journal my mother is currently working on for a gift. The cover is a stretchy fabric and the embellishments are made from premade foam stickers ( the wee sea life creatures are made from polymer clay using a mold) The mermaid on this page is a rubber stamp. These pages are made from National Geographic type books and magazines

Newspaper advertisements from the 1920s These are mostly from Canadian newspapers
