What is a junk journal?

A junk journal is a handmade book filled with a mix of papers, ephemera, and embellishments—both new and vintage. It's perfect for writing, memory keeping, art journaling, or creative play. No two are alike! Pages may include book pages, scrapbook paper, envelopes, tags, fabric, and more. You can write in it, glue things in, or just enjoy flipping through its unique textures and layers. It’s called a “junk” journal, but it’s truly a treasure!
