Here it is, thanks for being patient! I finally have made the tutorial for my Junk Portfolio. This is made from 4 grocery bags and it is loaded with pages and pockets and possibilities. The bags I used were 12” wide, 10 1/2 tall and the bottoms are 6 3/4. I have used Tim Holtz papers for this version, along with a lot of fun ephemera and goodies that I have made in the past and kept for just the right project to use them with. The full walk through of my first portfolio is here ...

Halloween Themed Mini Junk Journals
She did this as part of her craft fair series. I was super intrigued by these and had to make one.
Then I made a bigger sized one. Then I made a do-si-do version. I really hope you like these! I was able to smash the rest of my Photo Play "Fright Night" paper collection. I had used it for a prototype project, and had some left over that I used up for these. Thanks so much for watching. Please check out her tutorial, the binding is fantastic. I hadn't seen that before! If you want to make the bigger size one like I did, here are the measurements and scoring... For each journal the large pages were 12 x 7 1/2, score on the 12 at 5 1/2, 6, 6 1/2. Make two For the mini page, it was 12 x 4 1/2, score the same as the large page For the pocket page, 11 x 9 1/2. Score on the 11 at 5 1/2, score on the 9 1/2 at 2 (on the bottom) The spine is 2 x 7 1/2 The tag I cut at 4 1/2 x 7 1/4 Then I just went to town decorating!

It all stores in itself and can be used for years to come as a decor piece on your special days. I will also be showing you how I created all of the flowers for this project. It's pretty big once assembled, about 15"! You won't miss this at the party!

Document Folio Tutorial, Country Craft Creations Design Team, Bonus Project Edition!
Hey all! I have a ⭐️BONUS⭐️design team project for you today.
I purchased the Photo Play "Everyday Junque" papers a little bit ago from Country Craft Creations specifically to do a tutorial on a project I had made for my Bestie at her request.
She wanted a Document Folder that would be big enough to hold large certificates and items for safekeeping, could be stored in a file cabinet and could also be pretty enough to be out on the coffee table to share with family.
The shopping haul video where I shared the prototype I made is here in case you missed it.
I came up with this design, and with the papers I purchased from Country Craft Creations I made this tutorial. In the video's description are a list of supplies from Country Craft Creations and a cut list for the cardstock. The patterned papers will be discussed in the video. Thanks for watching! The tutorial is here, https://youtu.be/tT-SzRAmzPE?si=xFA7j33XwojbtMrw

Ephemera Folio Tutorial, a Country Craft Creations Design Team Project
This is a quick tutorial on how I made an ephemera folio to hold bits and pieces you want to save for future projects. I shared this in the Country Craft Creations Welcome Summer Retreat Facebook page, and was asked about a tutorial, so here it is. 😎 It's very simple, and free-form so you can really do whatever you want with it. I hope you enjoy this and make some for yourself. I’m using my last bits of the exclusive collection, Soar, by Country Craft Creations. Soar, and many other different and beautiful papers can be found at Country Craft Creations, https://countrycraftcreations.com
The measurements and scoring are in the video, and you only need 2 patterned papers at 8x8, and then scraps to make the pockets. That's it! Easy Peasy!
