@@tawniavanhorn1523 it’s matching ephemera for my Field Notes journals. I personally wouldn’t buy a traditional junk journal because there is no space for journaling. So I make matching ephemera for my journals add pockets, notepads, and tags and put them into the journal leaving it up yo the journal owner whether not not they wish to decorate the journal. Also, isn’t half the fun of a journal to decorate it? Yes! So why can’t I decorate it myself? Well, evidently, in my own opinion, it’s not allied in traditional junk journals. All these junk journal makers blissfully decorate the journals for future owners. So it’s why I call my themed journals hybrid journals because the take the best of the plain journaling world and mesh it in with the best of the junk journaling world. Now, with that said, I love watching most of the traditional junk journalers create their junk journals. It’s great art! But as for me and my type A personality I can’t with the uneven pages as well as the multi styled pages. I like stuff to match! lol!
I agree. I like to make albums and I have to stop at some point because I fill up the album. Then there is no room for the oner to put what they want in it. I like to have everything match as well.@@Themed-Journals You ddo a beautiful job. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
@@andreatritico1639 thanks. Hopefully we are entering the cold snap, but we shall see! I’m glad you’re getting inspiration from my videos! I enjoy creating altered playing cards!!! Once I’m fully unpacked from my move I’ll have to show you the altered playing cards that started all my altered playing cards!!!!

Just found your channel. I am working on one of my 4 junk journals. I'm fairly new to this, so I have much to learn. Where did you get your little scissors? I need those in my life. :-) What tan paper were you using on the cards? I love making things look vintage and I would have to say that out of all the ways to make stuff, vintage is my favorite.
The scissors I buy from Temu! I used to buy them from Amazon! Until I learned they are being resold from Temu for 3x the price! I use pattern papers. From like dress patterns used to make clothes. They are cheap from thrift shops. I get mine from Savers. So check out some second hand stores!!! Here’s an affiliate link of mine from Temu: you won’t be charged more, but it will help me earn a little extra on the side. temu.to/m/uayrpqzeh9c
I’m working on altered playing cards. This video is the first portion of the process. It’s why I call it the Home of the Themed Journal Journey because it’s a process!!! Next steps decorate and sew them and stuff them into the journals.
Cool idea for altered playing cards. 👍🏼
@@sandyc5428 thanks!!!
Like what you are doing with the playing cards. Thank you for your video.

Nice to find another use for packaging materials. Thanks!
@birdycoon5321 I love using up my packaging materials!
I have used plastic before. Why do you say you can’t use plastic?
@@sandyknutson5573 it’s not clear enough to see through to see the object behind it.
Where in Arizona are you?
@@package2go phoenix sighs! Are you in AZ?
@@Themed-Journals Yes I live remote out of Yucca AZ.
@@package2go wow! South of Kingman! Is it hot over there?
Can't ascertain what you're doing
