Handmade Mixed Media Art Journal using Found Papers

Hi Alicia, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful mini scrapbook journal. What a fabulous little catalogue to work with, I reckon there are really pretty details on many of the pages, which can be incorporated. Just as you have done with the cover of the journal. I really like the use of various papers and colours, all of them fit together beautifully. And your journal is definitely not boring, remember you are only starting out with it. You can develop the creation on the way. What you could try doing is instead of cutting the papers, maybe tear them? Or have a mix of cut and torn papers, which you can then also overlap.You could even do it on your finished pages, just add a bit here and there. For example, where two papers meet, glue a torn bit of paper over the gap? You can just play around with the idea, try a bit on one page to see if you like it.I really hope you'll enjoy using your new journal.Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

This is my attempt to recycle an old catalogue. I know it looks a bit stiff or boring but I am trying to loosen up.&nbsp;<img style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/1b5ef455.jpeg" alt="Mini scrapbook journal - image 1 - student project" srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=600,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/1b5ef455.jpeg 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/1b5ef455.jpeg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" loading="lazy"><img style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/cb0345a9.jpeg" alt="Mini scrapbook journal - image 2 - student project" srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=600,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/cb0345a9.jpeg 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/cb0345a9.jpeg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" loading="lazy"><img style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/e33cb6f5.jpeg" alt="Mini scrapbook journal - image 3 - student project" srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=600,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/e33cb6f5.jpeg 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/e33cb6f5.jpeg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" loading="lazy"><img style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/ab0a9d8d.jpeg" alt="Mini scrapbook journal - image 4 - student project" srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=600,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/ab0a9d8d.jpeg 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/ab0a9d8d.jpeg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" loading="lazy"><img style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/a6c47082.jpeg" alt="Mini scrapbook journal - image 5 - student project" srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=600,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/a6c47082.jpeg 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/a6c47082.jpeg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" loading="lazy"><img style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/26426409.jpeg" alt="Mini scrapbook journal - image 6 - student project" srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=600,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/26426409.jpeg 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/26426409.jpeg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" loading="lazy"><img style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/ade50767.jpeg" alt="Mini scrapbook journal - image 7 - student project" srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=600,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/ade50767.jpeg 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/859fbcb2b3049fb8890824c52a191c4a/ade50767.jpeg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" loading="lazy">
