The Process of making a junk mail journal

After I collected and bound some pieces of junk mail, I couldn't decide what to do with it or how I wanted to decorate it. So I decided I would make two and leave one with simply being collaged, while with the other I would also collage it but then add some paint and do some additional embellishing, such as rubber stamping or stenciling.This turned out to be a useful idea. There are qualities I like in both stages so having that documented is great.This is the first booklet, which doesn't have any painting or stamping in it:

I originally wrote about this second booklet here, where I posted pictures of what it looked like without the additions. I'm not sure what looks better. I think I like the acrylic paint. It just adds another layer of interest.I went back and made a third booklet, this one just with the junk mail -- no embellishing. That's good to have on hand as well.Of course I made a video about the process with all 3 journals:https://youtu.be/CtNGZyGgoj8
