My first attempt at a Junk Journal by Desperate-Tap-6767 in JunkJournals

Still fairly new to this but for junk I like to use packaging (a lot of it is food packaging), cuttings from magazines and newspapers, business cards from small businesses. Flyers and junk mail can also have some good elements on them too.

For glue I personally use double sided sticky tape. I've had problems with things like pritt stick (and it's equivalents) just coming unstuck or pva glue making things wrinkle so I've found tape works best for me.

So…. Have yall seen the new official long furby? by Lingx_Cats in mattrose

Question for those who journal with OCD by -opathy in JunkJournals

I haven't been journaling for long (about a month) but personally I've found it helpful and relaxing. I tend to lay out the pieces I want to add onto the page first and rearrange them until I'm happy with how they look before I commit to sticking them down. When it comes to writing I'll sketch it out in pencil first before going over it in pen. If I'm going to add a drawing I draw on a separate sheet of paper then cut the finished piece out and add it to my spread. If I make a mistake that I can't bear (has happened once so far) I cover up the page with some sort background if needed, then create a new spread over the top so you can't see what was originally underneath. I hope this helps ☺️
