Whimsical Handmade Cat Theme Junk Journals

These quirky cat journals are super chunky with 70 pages, over 100 tags & journal cards plus tabs, fancy paper clips, vintage playing cards and book pages. These journals are similar inside but each cover is different and there are variations inside which do make them one of a kind.There is a lovely mix of interesting pages with lots of colour, design and some fantastic cat art but also lots of blank space to write or glue things in.I curated these journals with many elements but very little is glued down. I have left things “floating” around so that you can create the kind of journal that works best for you. Where I might like a pocket or tuck spot may not be where you want a pocket. So, I have used paper clips to secure these items in so that you can truly personalize these journals to your own tastes and needs :)

This winter I could not resist making more dark creepy Gothic themed winter junk journals for my like minded, eerie loving enthusiasts of all things weird and dark :) These journals offer an unsettling atmosphere that will immediately seep deep into your bones.

Make a Soft Cover for a Journal or Notebook with a Recycled Paper Envelope

I have been thinking about using these Amazon mailers when making junk journal covers, for ages now. I am trying to incorporate more recycled items in my journals and as well all know, these envelopes never stop coming LOL! I thought I would start with a simple cover first to see if I liked how they felt after I finished making a few. Best to start out simple and go from there.
