Journals with digital products

[Danesa]

Does anyone use your digital kits and products to make a journal or junk journal? I've just finished my first junk journal and I loved using my digital products to construct it. I've found that incorporating digital printouts, sketching, painting, etc gives me so much joy in bringing the creative process back into tactile enjoyment.

Do you like to get your fingers all tacky with glue or keep it clean on the computer?

I prefer to keep it clean, as I have pets around. But I'm made Decoupage few times, and will be cool if I can print some elements from favorite kits for that.
If you don't mind I'd love to see pics of your junk journal!

@Felis here are some random photos of my JJ. It has 3 signatures & 10 papers in each one, for a total of 60 pages. It's for my oldest daughter, in NYC. There are printed papers from kits and elements made into tags/stamps, etc. It's a hardback book, covered in napkins with Mod Podge. Don't judge harshly its my first attempt. At the bottom are 2 pix of what I printed & cut out today from On A Whimsical Adventure, reginafalango and Midnight Design, that will go in my new book I'm starting.

Oh, so beautiful! You are so talented, but also very patient as well! Can see myself do it for cover of planner or diary, but whole book this is lots of work! Love how the ideas grow and evolve.
Thank you so much, that you share it!

Wow - your junk journal is gorgeous - love those pages.

I did Jessica Sprague's Art Journaling course last fall and we created pages and then printed them into a little book. I really enjoyed it.

My current art journal is a 8.5 x 11 mixed media book and I just print out my pages and stick them in there. Sometimes I'll add a bit of glitter pen as an accent.

Love junk journals and have used many of Manu Designs for my pages, but mostly I use her products for Christmas gifts and print out her pages for planners. Then I will create a cool cover for the planners with other items. Danesa your Junk Journal is devine!!

wow!!! your junk journals look amazing Danesa!! I am looking forward to getting some done as well but I have to sort out my printer first, it's not printing like it used to but perhaps that's because I was testing on plain paper........FINALLY found where I packed the photo paper when we moved down here so will test again with it. I miss the doing the hands-on hybrid stuff, haven't done anything for a few years now.

Wow Denise they look great !!!

Wish i had some more time, i would love to do it like that.
I think we all started this way years ago

Love it Denise!
I know how much work it is,
At the moment I am not doing pages, but I am always collecting things that I plan to use for it! Looking at it makes me want to get out the scissors and glue.

O wow, these are so awesome!!!
I plan to start a junk journal, and yours are a great inspiration!!

I have to say that I have zero interest in creating a junk journal or planner, but I do so love to look at ones that others have created. They are so beautiful and complex, yours included!

I am with you there. They are so pretty and so much work I would be afraid to use them and wreck them by making a writing error which I do all the time.

Thank you, ladies! I hope when you do make them you will share with us. It was a lot of work but very rewarding when I saw my DD cry when I gave it to her. Now, on to the next one!
