Vintage Americana Junk Journal Folio

I was tidying up my craft zone a few weeks ago and got distracted by my paper supplies. So, I started playing with a pre-cut folio…

(Almost) everything I stuffed in there:

It’s a manilla file folder. All folded up, it’s 4.75” x 7.75”.

Thank you! I wanted to add more texture, but I also wanted to be able to close it. These things get bulky fast.

Thanks! I wanted something other than brown or black - a bit too drab for this project. Red tied together the color of the little notebook and most of the ephemera I had gathered from my stash while still being muted enough of a color to keep with that vintage vibe. I only have a few ink pads, and cyan, purple, and green definitely would not have looked right.
