Wonder Woman Junk Journal – Old Project, New Twist Part 2 with Eileen Hull

I'm back with the finished journal! For the month of August, Eileen Hull's Creative Team had the theme "Old Project, New Twist". Six years ago (!!) I started a Wonder Woman themed junk journal and didn't get much further than making the cover and a few pages. Oops! It had been languishing since then. Back then the largest journal die Eileen had was the original Sizzix Journal Die. I've collected so much ephemera to put in the journal I knew I wanted to start anew using the larger Full Size Journal Die! I showed you the cover at the beginning of the month and I finally finished the whole thing. Get ready to scroll…

Whew, there's a lot packed in here! 

Would you believe I still have ephemera left over? I'm going to finish the original smaller journal I started all those years ago lol.

Wait, there's more! I'm glad I redid this using the larger Full Size Journal Die. I could fit in much more.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to check out what my fellow designers have making for the month.

Old Project, New Twist Part 1 with Eileen Hull

For the month of August, Eileen Hull's Creative Team has the theme "Old Project, New Twist". Six years ago (!!) I started a Wonder Woman themed junk journal and didn't get much further than making the cover and a few pages. Oops! It's been languishing since then. Back then the largest journal die Eileen had was the original Sizzix Journal Die. I've collected so much ephemera to put in the journal I knew I wanted to start anew using the larger Full Size Journal Die! So here we have part one of this project – the cover:

New, larger cover!

Woo hoo, I can jam more stuff in this one!

I decided to put in a binder mechanism so I can have chunky loose leaf pages.

Here's a look at the original project:

I kept the look somewhat similar because I was very happy with how the first cover turned out. Who knows, maybe I'll end up making a large and smaller version of the journal. I'm pretty sure I have enough stuff for it lol. I keep finding more I squirreled away!

Color Wheel Junk Journal – Taking a Closer Look…

Eileen Hull's May 2025 Collection is fabulous and the Creative Team has really been having fun creating with it.  This post is to share a closer look at all the pages of my Color Wheel Junk Journal project.

Eileen's collection:

Here is what Eileen has to say about it:

The Handbound Journal is a ScoreBoards XL die designed to cut and score thick materials like matboard, leather, and felt. It includes built-in score lines, holes, a spine piece, and large labels—no measuring needed! At 6" x 5", you can customize the book’s thickness and choose hand or quick binding, all with a pretty scalloped edge. One of the most versatile designs yet.

The Bigz Journal Hardware Die offers latches, hinges, and pen loops, perfectly sized to coordinate with the journal, and cuts a variety of materials.

The Colour Wheel Stencil is a three-layer stencil that creates a continuous color wheel—use traditional ROYGBIV or customize your palette. Pair it with the Rainbow Wheels Die, which cuts the framework, segmented circle, and arrows for a functional color wheel.

The Swatch Card Stamp Set includes a round palette, rectangular and pie-shaped swatch cards, plus color-themed phrases perfect for cards or journals.

Color Wheel Junk Journal:

I bound the pages using a tutorial from Sea Lemon. She has many wonderful tutorials on her channel and you can find the one I used here.

Funkie Junkie Focus – "Finish It" Undone Projects

It's not quite spring (at least not around here, it's been snowing all day). However, you might be in the mood for some spring cleaning! It has taken a crafty turn for our current Funkie Junkie Focus theme which is "Finish It" – take an uncompleted project and finish it off. I partially completed a junk journal in June of 2022 and then it and all the stuff I had collected for it looked like this until now:

oh my, what a pile LOL

I still had two signatures worth of pages left to fill to complete the journal. You can find the first post about it here. Here is the outside:

The journal structure was created using Eileen Hull's Folio Journal Die and filled with all sorts of stamping, ephemera and die cuts. Here's a sampling of some of the new inside pages:

I had previously added some Waterfall flips to the inside cover but hadn't decorated them yet.

I did do a tutorial for putting the cover together in my first post. Here are a few in process photos from my journey in finishing up the other pages:

 It's quite a chaotic crafty scene! Lots of scraps and bits all over the place ha ha.

I decorate all the pages, front and back, before binding them together. It is much easier that way!

Elastic binding makes it really easy to add the pages. You just slide them under the elastic.

So, mission accomplished! I now have a cleared off tray in my art rack. Hurray! Thanks for stopping by. Keep an eye on the Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog, Inspiration Ave. because you are now getting regular doses of expanded (and inspiring) content each week. Don't miss it…
