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.
