Hey there, journal junkies!

If your summer vibe includes sunshine, iced coffee, beachy tunes, and a glue stick in hand—then this one’s for you. Whether you're new to junk journaling or you've got washi tape in every room of the house, here are some super summery and seriously cute ideas to fill those pages with sunshine. 

🍓 1. Summer Bucket List (With a Twist!)

Don’t just write your list—journal it. Collage magazine cutouts, doodle little icons, or add flip-up spots where you can check things off. Bonus points if you include a tiny envelope to tuck in Polaroids or ticket stubs from the adventures! 

🏖️ 2. Beach-Inspired Mood Board

Sand not required. Think torn pages in ocean hues, pressed wildflowers, beachy poems, photos from summer trips, and maybe even a few shells glued in. Yes, 3D is totally allowed. 

🍦 3. Sweet Treats Scrap Page

Document your ice cream obsession or favorite summer snacks. Save and journal about cute napkins, bakery wrappers, or those coffee cup sleeves from your go-to café. Add a doodled "Top 5 Treats" list for extra cuteness. 

🎶 4. Summer Soundtrack Playlist Page

What are you blasting on repeat this season? Create a playlist page with song lyrics, hand-drawn headphones, and space to write about why each song just hits different this summer. 

🌻 5. Found Object Challenge

Each week, pick one small thing you find (a leaf, a fortune cookie fortune, a random receipt) and turn it into a full-page spread. It’s amazing how a crushed daisy or a beach tag can tell a whole story. 

📸 6. Summer Snaps Collage

Print out your phone photos—yes, even the blurry ones—and layer them up with washi tape, stickers, handwritten captions, and little notes about what was happening behind the scenes. 

✨ 7. “If My Summer Was an Aesthetic” Spread

Think: glitter gel pens meet Pinterest board IRL. Cottagecore? Coastal cowgirl? Retro road trip? Create a vision spread full of magazine cutouts, swatches, mini fabric samples, or color palette cards.  

✂️ Hot Tip:

Don’t aim for perfect. Aim for fun. Summer is messy, colorful, full of spontaneity—and your journal should be too. So grab a cold drink, slap on some sunscreen, and go wild with those pages. Your summer memories are just waiting to be glued, scribbled, and splashed in watercolor.
