Shabby Chic Junk Journal Folio Tutorial (Paper Lunch Bags)

Soft florals, lace, pearls, and paper lunch bags… who knew they could become something this dreamy? 💕

Today I’m sharing my new shabby chic ephemera folio made with the Whispers Junk Journal Kit from Decor8yourlife. It’s designed to hold tags, pockets, and vintage-style layers now, but it can easily be turned into a full junk journal later.

I used removable silicone dots for the small elements and a lace pocket for storing ephemera, so everything can be rearranged as inspiration strikes.

Full tutorial is up on YouTube and the matching blog post is live on decor8yourlife.com ✨

How a Perpetual Calendar Turned into a Birthday Card – Project Share

Turning a forgotten project into something brand new always feels good… but this one feels extra special. 💖

Remember the perpetual calendar I made with all the monthly tags? I took it apart and turned every tag into a handmade birthday card that will be donated to a local church for their monthly birthday celebrations. 🥹🎂

In the tutorial I’m sharing how I:
• turned the calendar tags into card fronts
• used simple pastel mats for a clean, finished look
• added a pretty punched border for that “inlaid” frame
• used fun foam for budget-friendly dimension

It’s a sweet mix of use your stash + make something that makes someone’s day.

Would you repurpose an old project like this? Or would you keep the calendar as is?
