In a world dominated by screens and digital clutter, there’s something truly delightful about the tactile experience of crafting a junk journal. Don’t you agree? Hours can pass unnoticed as I cut, glue, and paint. I love that it celebrates the beauty in the mundane and turns everyday items into treasured memories. It’s a wonderful journey of self-expression and creativity.

And since junk journaling is, at its core, about repurposing and recycling, it is easily accessible to every budget. Old magazines, ticket stubs, fabric scraps, and even grocery lists can find new life within the pages of a junk journal.

But sometimes, it can still be hard to get started or complete a page. Sometimes, I get stuck. So, I came up with a system to hopefully keep me inspired and productive and improve my pages.
