I always start by trimming lots and lots of paper - scrapbook paper, ledger paper, graph paper, blank paper, vintage dictionary pages, vintage children book pages... You get the idea. Then I gather lots and lots of bits and pieces - manilla tags, vintage flashcards, vintage playing cards, receipt forms, index cards... Again, you get the idea. Here is a little bit of what went into this round of mixed paper journals:
Rainbow of Scrapbook Paper
Plenty of Vintage Paper
Paper to Be Written On
Fun Extras
I then spread out all of the paper and make a big mess putting together 50+ and 100+ page piles. I ended up with enough paper for 6 journals this time:
The final step is to hole punch all of the pages, load all pages onto the binder rings, and add the BINGO card cover. I am still working on a few - it takes awhile to hole punch 50+ or 100+ pages per journal! I have a 50+ Page journal up in the shop now, and a 100+ Page journal to be added tomorrow.
Custom mixed paper journals also available! Interested in a certain color label, or different number of pages? Perhaps you only want scrapbook paper and blank sheets, or lined paper and vintage book pages? Email me at foundpaperco[at]gmail.com and I'll put something special together just for you!

Words cannot adequately express how much I positively LOVE these things. I am going to treat myself VERY soon. Maybe to more than one, even!
