In this video I make Junk Journal signatures from greetings cards covering the images and writing with paper scraps and paint.

Nice use of old Christmas cards for signatures that works very well.

Two different takes on constructing both yours and Nina's signatures, great ideas to follow . Thanks Kylie!

Your signatures look fabulous Kylie and I look forward to seeing you filling them. So satisfying using junk and scraps 💕 xo

Love the idea of recycling cards! Can't wait to see what you do with each page.💕

Everything about this journal is fabulous!! Even though journals made with purchased digi kits or scrapbook papers can be lovely, many, many people use the same images but using your own scraps and recycled materials makes this a truly unique journal...my favorite kind of projects, love it! 🎨

Lovely style! I skimmed through about 6 videos on greeting card junk journalling til I found this one. This is closer to the style I'd like to emulate. I really wanted to reach over and be a helpful third hand with the fiddly bit! I have done quite a bit of bookbinding before but I hadn't seen this method, thank you for sharing.

Love your approach with those greeting cards. It came out great. Love your idea to combine a non sew binding with a sewed signature!! 💞💞

Reuse/recycle...awesome!!!

@margaretschmidt7451 5 years ago

Oh my! This is exactly what I was thinking of doing. I hate tossing the cards given to me and was thinking I could use them in this way!!

I saw this idea for the first time at Jenniebellie's channel, hers is about 9 years ago, she did paint all over them,
I love the way you did this too, it looks so cool!!!💜❤️🤗👍🏻😃💖💜❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜💜💜

A marvelous project. I sure don’t get as many Christmas cards as you, not even in ten years!! So, I’m using ALL the cards I’ve ever gotten to make my journal. I love your signature technique. Thanks, Kylie!
