Hello everyone
I'm extremely honoured yet again to be invited to be a
Guest Designer @ Try it on Tuesday where this fortnight
the lovely TioT Design Teams Theme is *RECYCLE* ..
Today I'm sharing the beginnings of my June Junk Diary..
With it's splash of red, white and blue a nod to the nations
June celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee.
During 2022 I've been creating a new Junk Diary every month
gathering left overs and scraps from previous projects, salvaged
packaging, found objects and ephemera with the potential to
be something other than what they may have previously been.
Collaged onto recycled cardboard to create journal covers, this surface
also makes a fabulous substrate for pasting, die cutting and painting on.
Filled with papers, packaging and recycled envelopes each page makes an
alternative surface for mark making, writing, drawing, painting and documenting
colour swatches as well as collecting and collaging pictures from old magazines.
These Foxgloves are from a torn cross stitch magazine cover,
over painted then simply edged with pencil..
a gentle reminder of the Foxglove cross stitch kit tucked neatly
into the journals back pocket, saved for a free creative day..
Thank you so much to the wonderful TioT Design Team for having me as
Guest Designer and allowing me to share my recycled June Junk Diary.
I hope you have been inspired by my sneak peep today,
please do pop on over to see more recycled inspiration

You will not be disappointed..
Stay safe & creative everyone
Hugs Tracey xx
