Tonight, I finished harvesting this 2022 Hammacher Schlemmer Christmas catalog.
The Hammacher Schlemmer is one of the absolute best for harvesting images! The catalog can be requested for free! I got this many images:
I have sorted them by size and shape. One category is words. I store them in different size baggies.
There was something usable on every single page, including the covers.
What a great choo choo on the front!

I finished another double page spread in my Christmas glue book!
Shiny is hard to capture on camera, but these red stars were punched from a Colgate Optics box. Trash to Treasure!

It’s hard to catch sparkle on camera, but this silver washi tape is dazzling! I almost forgot about my tapes.

That’s what it’s called when you cut or tear out images from a magazine, print catalog or printed packaging.
Fussy cutting is what it’s called when you cut out the fine detail from a printed image.
The resulting images are called fussy cuts.
When you glue a bunch of images in a book, collage style, its called a glue book. I’ve been saving little real estate booklets to make my future glue books.
If you harvest your junk mail and use those images and fussy cuts in a glue book that also has room to write, you’ve made a junk journal.
The best job of harvesting I’ve done (though I did a great job of gutting that vanilla wafers box, above) was a Little Debbie’s snack cake box.
I’ve used pieces of it on a Christmas journal, front and back.
I have some beautiful pages printed, along with some family photos. I want my journals to be photo journals, like mini handmade scrapbooks. When I finish this one, I’ll share it here.
Today, I finished harvesting a 2021 Fresh Finds Catalog.
There are only a few pages left intact. I wish they were still publishing this catalog, because it was chock full of Christmas images.
This is from where the candy cane box, pictured above, came. Day 24, #the100dayproject2024, #fixand finish
