Travel Journal "The Golden Book" Junk Journal

Hi everyone, it's been months, I know.

I do have some junk  journals made that I'm placing in my Etsy shop. Each of the 3 journals I'm listing are junk journals created using "The Golden Book Encyclopedia"  books 2, 4, and 5 that were sold between 1959 and 1961. They will each have around 69 pages including 10 vintage lined writing, and 10 drawing pages, the rest of the pages will be made up of premium card stock papers, with lots of pockets, hand made envelopes, some with vintage book and music pages, vintage ledger pages and vintage ephemera bits and pieces with clips and tabs. These journals measure 6" X 9" and are bound with sturdy o-wire binding.

If you would like to purchase this first travel themed journal - travel here . Here we go...

You can glue, staple, sew or use brads to attach the tops and bottoms of these cards and create a pocket with a side opening. Or add papers between and have a separate place to write a special story. Or gather some photos up, print them to fit between these cards, punch holes, and make it a visual story.
