Smell the Roses Junk Journal by Savera Kiani

Hey, everyone! Savera Kiani of Trinketz, one of our amazing  Junk Journal Design Team Members, created a fabulous Smell the Roses Junk Journal for us this week. As you know, we feature one new Junk Journal project each week created by one of our creative team of artists, but this week we are bringing two to you! Our Design Team Members select from the 100’s of Vintage Image Bundles on our Premium Membership Site, for their creations, in order to show you beautiful ways to use those images. We hope you will be totally inspired by this series!

Therefore, please make sure you check out the video tour at the bottom of the page…please scroll all the way down to see it. Are you ready to be inspired? I will step out of the way and let Savera tell you all about her incredible project…

Hi everyone, my name is Savera. Today I’m sharing my October’s design team project for the lovely Graphics Fairy. This project caught me in a state of grief and sadness due to the loss of
my beloved uncle, a beautiful departed soul. I have designed this journal to represent his soft and cheerful personality. He lived in a wonderful house in a hilly town with nature all around him. This house was surrounded by enchanted gardens and trees. We have cherished childhood memories in that house.

These beautiful vintage images of colourful and magical cottage gardens found on the premium membership of the Graphics Fairy website remind me of this house full of love and security. The
bundles I’ve used for this journal are listed at the bottom.

I have printed out some images on glossy photo paper and fussy cut them to make accent tuck spots and decorations. I’ve seen that this paper makes the images stand out even more and the
combination with matt printing gives a unique look.

I’ve used vintage wedding style envelopes for the construction of this journal. Due to the landscape orientation of this journal, I’ve had to cut and then stick together pages to fit into the
journal.

There was lots of interactive elements in the journal, including many large pockets, tucks and hidden journaling and storage spaces. These were made so that photos and other memorabilia
can be safely kept in it. There are two signatures that can be removed to make more space in the journal, in case it gets too full.

I have printed out on vintage legal sheets of paper with typewriter script on them and made them into paper bags for storage. I’ve used many beautiful PNG images and printed them out
on tea and coffee dyed paper to make it look like stamping! The images are so crisp and clear. I’m addicted and I love the look of black and white printed images on tea dyed paper.

Hope you have enjoyed my project as much as I have enjoyed making it.

Love, peace and best wishes for all of you xxx.
