Hello, my crafty friends!
Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸
Today’s project was a happy surprise! When Paperomia asked if I’d like to play with their American Dream digital kit, I jumped right in — and what better way to celebrate the 4th than with a spontaneous patriotic junk journal?
I’ve never made a 4th of July journal before, but this one just flew together like fireworks. In this video, I walk you through creating a festive journal topper, adding a hidden spine (yes, on camera!), and how I turned digital pages into pockets, tags, belly bands, and more—no ephemera needed!
I also mixed in elements from Sweet Pea Curiosities and a folio from Down Home Charm Co — links are below.
Let freedom (and creativity) ring!
❤️💙🤍
