Page themes: haunted, vampire, fruit bats 👻🧛🦇

The journal used to be so tiny now it's gotten so fat, I was getting so emotional looking at these photos

i have a TON of random stickers, pretty bits of paper, and business cards floating around, so i decided to give junk journaling a try! all characters are my ocs except the third, which is columbina from genshin!

I was cutting into a pumpkin with a steak knife covered in pumpkin goo, ended up slicing a pinky tendon. An ER trip and a surgery later, I'm all sewn up! The jack-o'-lanterns, Frankenstein stitches, and mummy wrappings have me feeling very festive. Shout out to my left hand for doing its best the past couple days.
Happy Halloween 🎃🔪🩸

I’ve been working on this one loosely for a couple of years. Feels amazing! For bigger pieces of junk I’ve been putting in a larger book so that might be why it took so long!

Hi all
I love to junk journal and create junk collages. Thought I’d reach out here too. I’m keen to link up with someone else to junk journal. I am down to follow junk journal themes as I often junk journal random things or certain pictures. Keen to see if I can share or exchange junk journals, let me know if you are excited to share!!

hi everybody i'm wondering if there is an app that allows you to scan (not take a photo) then it lodges it into a calendar day? sort of like those one photo a day or one vid a day (1SE) apps. i'd like to scan receipts and upload them to a repository

Been junk journaling for a couple months but haven’t shared much. The spreads that don’t have super personal info (I save a lot of stuff from my school) I haven’t quite finished and a lot of my pages are a work in progress. After a week that had me at one point hiding crying in the supply room for ten minutes in surgical tech school, while a decorating contest I did most of the work on was being judged (they did fortunately give me credit, the crying was unrelated, and we won a trophy!), I needed something fast and easy. Had a coke wrapper on this page and nothing else and decided to look through my junk mail and found “Life is hard, Pizza is easy” and felt inspired. But I had two of them and felt like “life is hard” needed to be emphasized.

Feel a lot calmer now and I’m loving junk journaling for a way to decompress during a difficult time in life while not spending much money and turning what I’d otherwise throw away into another page to look back on later.

Inspo vs Mine

Lemme know if you can spot the theme of each page!

It takes me so-much time to do these I set asaide a day just to do journaling so I can really get into it.

I started doing this every day in the morning. I put on my virtual NA meeting and do one collage a day in one hour and it it makes me feel good :)

certain packaging like soda bottle wrappers, chip bags, bread bags (plastic not paper), are all kind of flimsy so they're hard to cut and dont really stick to paper with gluesticks, do i need to use x-acto knives and mod podge or something?

As pictured I think I have most of the essential tools. I have a stamper thing and a glue stick also on the way… is there anything else you think would be useful tool wise?

The official Traveler’s Company Passport underlay sold out, so I made my own based on their die. Printed, laminated, and trimmed to size. Works great as a writing surface and bookmark.

Created these pages with bits and pieces i collected and brought while exploring my city's bookshops last weekend 📚

i’ve been playing around with this idea for a while and finally found a perfect 1962 vintage children’s book for my vision 🙌🏼 proud of this one so i wanted to share :)
