Filling Our Journals

For this week’s post, I wanted to focus on one of the main elements of junk journaling: filling our journals with interesting and decorated pages! Rather than write a thesis here about decorating journal pages, I curated a few videos from the channel that I think are good inspiration. 

Decorating a Junk Journal Page

I think this is a hot topic within the community. If you’re looking for inspiration for decorating some of your junk journal pages, check out the video below. I also believe that a great way to generate ideas is through conversation with others. Feel free to share your ideas in the comments section of the video and in our Facebook group—you just might find some new inspiration in the replies! 

Junk Journaling with Paper Scraps

I know this is one of Bree’s favorite elements of junk journaling. Paper scraps really can form some interesting and impressive art pages. I’ve seen quite a few stellar examples of collage share among the community. Find inspiration for your own journal in the video below, abd create your own art with your own unique voice. 

Pocket Pages for Junk Journals

Looking to get a bit more functional? Add pocket pages to your journal. I think the pocket pages are great. Not only do they add dimension to the journal pages, but they also add can an equal amount of functionality and whimsy. It’s so fun to find a little something squirreled away within the interior of the journal. Check out this video for more about pocket pages!

And look out for a new video uploading 03/06/22 at the channel!
