Junk journal from a cognac box

"Do you want to do something with this box?"A few months ago in October, my husband received a bottle of Martell cognac in beautiful packaging. Interestingly enough it was he who put the box in my hands and asked if I wanted to do something with it. It hadn't even crossed my mind, but yes, I did indeed want to.I loved the blue hues and started thinking about the colors that would go along with it -- black, gold, gray, and cream. I decided make a junk journal and fill it with an eclectic mix of images and papers. I wanted to make it for the people who gave us the cognac, my husband's uncle and aunt.I wanted the book to be interesting; something that inspired curiosity, spurred thought, or at the very least was entertaining in some way, so I used papers of multiple languages and various alphabets, black and white images, rubber stamps, and several stencils. 

After I was finished, I wrapped it up and mailed it off to Slovakia for Christmas. Hopefully I'll hear back in a few days if it was a hit or a miss. You never know with junk journals. Some people "get it"; others don't and just think it's weird. I'll see.Here's the flip through:https://youtu.be/RFhhZizfQ2E
