Winter Planner Pages: Calm & Bright Junk Journal Spreads
Soft winter tones, vintage imagery, and gentle layers come together in these calm junk journal planner pages. In this post, I’m sharing three finished winter spreads along with the inspiration behind each one — plus a link to the full process video.
Making a Glittery Fabric Cover Journal
There’s something especially grounding about working with fabric, lace, and paper together. This journal came together slowly, guided by texture rather than a plan, and became a quiet place for scraps, notes, and creative pauses.
Build a Striking Collage Focal Point in Your Junk Journal
Collage is both playful and intuitive. By choosing a bold focal image, supporting it with colour, and layering textures, you can create a spread that feels striking, whimsical, and deeply personal. Watch me create a fun collage page in my junk journal.
Pressed Botanicals- A September Junk Journal Spread
September arrives like a hush in the trees. The air turns crisp, the light slants differently, and the forest begins to exhale its final bloom. In this post, I’m sharing a journal spread created with real pressed botanicals—each leaf, petal, and pinecone a small spell of memory—layered with vintage ephemera, torn pages, and that sweet sense of seasonal melancholy I crave this time of year.
This is not just a craft project. It’s a moment captured in paper.
Yellow Monochrome Junk Journal with Vintage Ephemera
My original intent was to create a yellow monochromatic junk journal that had only yellow and shades of yellow papers, ephemera and fabric trims. I started out by gathering yellow papers and looked around my studio for yellow ephemera of all kinds. It soon became apparent that sticking to strictly yellow was going to be a challenge and one I wasn’t sure I could adhere to.
As I went on, I found myself wanting to add more colour and create some great colour combinations with the yellow tones I had in my papers and ephemera.
