  • I'm a collage artist who loves to work with vintage ephemera and vintage inspired papers in my art. ❤️ journal with me as part of the awesome Meg’s Junk Journal July challenge where I work on making two sides of a postcard for my junk journal.
    I love creating collaged postcards, and loved this opportunity to show you how I take vintage papers, in the theme that I used for creating my junk journal, and then use them to make a unique postcard.
    The best part of this collage postcard is that you get to mail it to yourself! Once you receive it back, include it in any fold or tuck spot in your junk journal.
    This video is part of the #JunkJournalJuly 2023 challenge collaboration hosted by megjournals. Watch the Junk Journal July playlist here: • Junk Journal July 2023...

    Margarite, when I did the Valentine's postcards for my grandchildren, I also made one for my husband. It came though the mail perfect. Only one person reported damage.
    It was so much fun that I did it again for Easter. Love the idea's that you share with us.
