Junk Journal Inserts for Lavender Blu Journals

  Hello, my friends!

I have a fun new project share for Lavender Blu Journals!

 I'm working on a new journal.
It's got a wonderful combination of neutral pages and ephemera.
I've been working on some inserts that I'll be adding to the finished journal.
They all coordinate beautifully with the pages.

Here's what I've made:

I've made a Trifold Folio, and some fun bag pockets:

Pretty Printables to make Tags for Lavender Blu Journals

 Hello, my friends!

Today I am sharing my latest project for Lavender Blu Journals!
I'm on a fun tag making kick lately, so I have two more for you. 
These are created with some beautiful products from the
New Year Garden Flight Junk Journal Kit.

Tags are so fun because there are so many options for size, style and design. 
These two tags are one of my most common to make. 
I have some antique sewing machine drawers that fit them beautifully,
and I've been filling them up nicely over the years. 

Here are my tags:

I started with my cardstock tag base. 
Then I printed one journal page from the kit, and used it for the tag background.
I fussy cut some of the sweet elements, and adhered them in place.

I also decorated the back of my tags.
The pretty yellow background is another one of the journal pages. 
I used some of the ticket labels to create pockets,
and then filled them with more tags and fussy cut ephemera.

To finish everything off, I added twine and fibers to the tag tops.
I also went over all the flowers, birds and butterflies with my sparkle pen.
It doesn't show in the photos but everything has a beautiful shimmer.

Lavender Blu Products Used:

New Year Garden Flight Junk Journal Kit

Other Materials Used:
Walnut Stain Distress Ink;
Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen;
Whisker Graphics Baker's Twine;
Unknown Fibers.
