Last page of my all Tim Holtz art journal, using Stamp Collector and Correspondence. Thank you for joining me for this series! I printed the Great Wave onto copy paper to use as a base, covered the wave with a mix of used postage stamps and stamped & fussy-cut stamps, and used vellum for the wave caps. The Ideology cardstock base pages were 12 x 12, so I cut them down to 8 1/2 x 11 and used the off-cuts to make a pocket on the back of each side.

In December I’ll be participating in Dephemerember (making ephemera, hosted by 49dragonflies) and then Junk Journal January (hosted by megjournals).
