Junk Journal – Stranger Things – Dig N’ Dip

Stranger Things and Candy – what a combination. In this layout I used red and blue cardstock cut diagonally and glued together. Then each sheet of 8.5 x 11″ cardstock got glued together with a paper hinge. I then attached both sides of two different variations of candy wrapper that was inside allover. That made my background. See that here:

I then printed several of the Demogorgon mouth out on an inkjet printer. I put one on each corner and one in between each corner. I then glued down the outside bag pieces in the middle. I then printed out some advertising the promotion used and cut it down for a column from top to bottom on each side of the outside candy bag that is in the middle. I then cut thin wavy strips of black paper to go along all of the edge to frame the layout and glued them down. Then I used a metallic purple paint marker to outline the different pieces I glued down and edged the border and topped that off with a sealant of Mod Podge. Then my final piece. I hope you like this layout. I will post more soon!

Junk Journal – Chucky Fanta

I loved when Fanta teamed up with the Chucky franchise and released the Fanta horror character collaborations. I was quick to get the packaging when this came out and this came from it. It is layered on top of red cardstock hinged together with a paper hinge with the bottle label, the pop can case pieces, the pop can itself, and various promotional advertising that was made available online that I printed out. After it was glued down (the can was fun to figure out and only got flattened and attached with lots of E-6000 and flattened out with a piece of wood larger then it and then a large brick on top of that for four days). I then had fun with dry brushing red acrylic paint onto it here and there trying to give it a horror feel to go along with Chucky. Yes, I am a horror movie and thriller/horror book fan and love true crime documentaries. This was right up my style and so much fun. I also have the other Fanta horror collaborations I have worked with that I will post soon! I love junk journaling but have to have a focused design so it is more of a junk journal and collage spread. Let me know what you think and if I should post more soon.
