In Search of My Creative Side - Creative Artiste - July 2026


 Time for another mixed media challenge at Creative Artiste.  This month I chose to make a  junk journal using an old Reader's Digest book.  I  glued pages together for strength and added different pages using several techniques. 

Art Journal Cover - Readers Digest


Some of the pages I  created using different techniques and sources of pictures books and art supplies. 

Here are a few of my pages.  The book has 26 decorated pages.

I used paper napkins with modpoged , a  collage of  different die cuts, washi paper to keep the pages in the book together. 




I used die cuts from a art journal kit I found at a local craft store, the kit was from a collection from STAMPERIA.

The background paperwork from my stash and from the junk journal kit. I also used pages from 2 my favourite sources magazines,  Daphne's, Diary, Somerset Studio, Art Journaling

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week.  Remember to stop by our challenge blog to be inspired by our talented design team.

    Those RD books make grand junk journals, love how the paper absorbs paint and inks. My favourite pages are the Birds & Butterfly's. A real lovely mix.. Happy creative July Tracey xx

    That looks amazing, Judy! Love it when old books are repurposed, especially into junk journals. Each page of yours has something fun to check out--that's so awesome. Hope you have an amazingly creative July! Anita xx
