GIU day 2

and if you were here yesterday you know how it works...so I'm just going to jump right in

this is a little junk journal that I made with some old junk mail, the cover is the only "new" paper I used...and I painted the background, then stamped my unity stamps and I only added a little color to my lil flower at the bottom with some fingernail polish (it I wanted a pastel color and somewhat of a transparency and there was nail polish in front of me so...why not?) I have wanted to make one of these kind of journals for a while now and I'm so glad I did, now I'm creating art and recycling at the same time!
have any of you made a junk journal? If so please leave a link I'd love to see...I'm new to junk journaling and love inspiration!
