Ephemera

I’ve been enhancing my ephemera stash for junk journal making. I do blind cutting of my Masterboards, so I do the whole collage, and then once it’s dry, I turn it over and cut it into shapes, without regard for the front. It’s a surprise that way, and I ADORE surprises. Please enjoy, and feel free to ask any questions!

Savoring Radiance: Embracing the Transition from Beltane to Litha

As Beltane’s fiery fervor starts to cool off and the sun rises towards his peak, we’re caught between the wild fertility celebrations of Beltane and the full-on summer vibes of Litha, the summer solstice.

This is the perfect time to get outside, soak up nature’s bounty, and really get in touch with Mother Earth. But it’s not just about enjoying the scenery. This time is all about nurturing the intentions you set during Beltane, helping them grow and flourish.

And hey, if you’re feeling inspired, let that creativity flow! Whether it’s painting, writing, or diving into a new project, let the energy of the season fuel your passions. Take a moment to bask in the warmth of the sun and be grateful for the burst of creativity and life all around you.

Soak up the sunshine, join outdoor rituals, and let your creativity flow. This time between Beltane and Litha is all about growth, vitality, and celebrating nature’s beauty under the radiant sun.

A chunky lovey Art Junk Journal

Ohhh how I want to keep this beauty! She is a romantic journal, left largely undecorated so you can add in pages and ephemera to make her your own vision. Goth her up, antique her out, or take her sappy sweet valentine. She’s so customizable, you’re gonna flip.

Shes got pockets, tip-ins, fold-outs, origami, and ephemera tags and bits to keep inside, or use in other projects. She features lace edgings throughout, and plenty of writing/drawing space. Love her well, and she will love you back. If you wanna feed her and make her extra chubby, there is room for 2 additional signatures between her already plump folds!

At the end of the post, I will include a video flip through, for your enjoyment! (ahem…as soon as my darn computer finishes uploading the thing!)

She is roughly 9×6, give or take a few millimeters. Lovely antiqued book corners to keep her front and back cover all safe and sound.

She THICC! Three chonky fat signatures stuffed with goodies, but with enough space between them that there could be 2 more added, should you want to feed her and make her really bulge!

A few little bitty bells on her bookmark make a delightful sound as she moves.

part Art journal, part junk journal. Lots of scrapbook papers, and also some magazine tear outs and coffee stained papers.

Several special bits of lovely ephemera to keep inside, or to use in your other projects, or to trade!

Ribbon and lace edges throughout!

She comes with an extra mini journal in the back, made of all of the papers inside the main book!

I hope you enjoy her. She is now available at my shop! shop.loveofthedark.com

Forest Witch Junk Journal

I’ve been on a binge of book making/junk journal creating, and wanted to share some lovelies. Enjoy!

This journal is a 5×7, and I’ve left tons of room for you to customize it to your liking. I’ve given you a forest witchy theme to play on.

Front Cover:

Many inside pages have pockets, and ephemera such as tags, bookmarks, and pictures.

Some pages are lined, some are dot grid, and some are coffee stained.

Lots of nature theme, with a little spooky added in for fun.

Plenty of writing space, as well as blank drawing spaces included.

Several fun pockets, with loads of room for you to add more of your own. You might consider adding in tip-ins, or other ephemera.

Back cover.

Here is a link to a video flip through if you’d like to see the whole thing:
