Welcome, fellow creators!
Today I’m sharing a flipthrough of my Adventures in Color Journal, a trash-to-treasure project built from a repurposed Gudrun Sjödén fashion catalog. These catalogs are printed on matte, recycled paper — a little thicker and sturdier than most — and they make a wonderful base for altering and mixed media play.
This journal is filled with a joyful mix of materials:
– pages from magazines and old books
– envelopes, scraps, and found bits
– my own stamps, washi stickers, and collage papers
– watercolor, acrylics, alcohol inks, and more
What began as leftover pieces slowly transformed into a colorful, layered treasure — each page with its own mood, textures, and tiny story.
You can watch the full flipthrough below.
Happy creating!
