I really like brain dumping, i write with my best handwriting in the TN that I have, with an original twist of writing (I thought I was the only one who over-writes) and write like life’s a mess in another pocket diary. If I have neither of them with me then I take any paper I see and just start with a pen that I can get my hands on.
My older brother, my hero, died October 18, 2025. I still don't know where to put so many of the feelings and I know grief/love is forever. So, art. I'm a poet, that's my medium, and I'm writing a lot, but I needed something entirely different. So I'm making my first ever junk journal and here is my first ever double-sided page. It's incredible, art. It's arranged intentionally but when I actually saw the reality of my brother looking down on me with his proud smile and the text, and that what I'm holding on my shoulder is his hand... I didn't expect the flood that hit me. I think he'd think it's neat.
these are pages from my current journal, anyone else start doodling/drawing in theirs? mine were just writing for years but i really have grown from this crossover
Happy Sunday y’all!!
First time trying the caramelised banana and quite loving it 😍
found my old journal from 2018 (i was 19) that i used as a planner, diary and junk journal during my first and only year of uni. i know i'll never replicate the flavour of it but i love going back to look at it. was only consistent with it for like 5 months and tried to pick it up again three years later but failed lol
Je viens de découvrir les mini imprimante photo! Je sens que ça va me rendre dingue.
Qui d'autre en utilise????
A few days ago I asked about paper vs vinyl stickers on here to put on journals and the consensus was paper stickers! So that’s what I went with.
I turned my mini fruit oil paintings into sticker sheets to share in my mail club. For September I’m doing a harvest theme which I’m really excited about! I tested out a few designs and went with this one in the end.
Thank you all for your recommendations! ❤️
I recently tried this out and I like it so far! I only do it when I have something to add in the evening and don't want to use a new page. But I like the look of it, using different colors and it definitely is a conversation starter and people can't read it easily if you're writing out and about!
Sometimes i like to bring my Pinterest boards to life :)
I've been doing junk journalling for over a year but recently have gotten back into creative journalling. Wanted to show some of my recent spreads about mushrooms 🍄 Please let me know what you think ✨️

Inspired by the Tori Kelly song, Control.
I have a few ideas of what I can do with it:
I can write on the cardboard and then stick it in my journal.
I can cut it into rectangles and use it as a headings for my entires
I can write a quote on it then stick it in my journal.
I can use it as decoration by tearing it and then sticking it at the top and the bottom of my page.
I can draw on them then cut the drawing out and add it to the journal.
I can cut it into shapes eg Stars and stick it in the journal.
I can cut it into small blocks and then write on them and then stick it in the journal.
I'm not sure what else to do with it.
How do you use color when junk journaling? Here's my way of thinking:
Start with emotion - how do I feel? what color matches my emotions at that moment?
Select one main color + add a few accents - a color wheel always helps me
Start with a more muted palette if you feel overwhelmed
Consider starting with a photo and match the vibe and colors
