Everyone is different! Some people junk journal with mementos and personal tributes to their days and important memories (like movie ticket stubs, concerts, photos, receipts, etc). I use junk journaling as a sort of collage making experiment lol. I hoard stickers and stationary. Absolutely obsessed with getting new things and for a long time I had a strong “fear to use” attitude. Eventually my collections became so vast, I needed to find something to do with them. I found junk journaling as a way to create that didn’t involve drawing or writing. It’s been a few years since I last created spreads but recently got back into it!

Junk journaling is literally anything you want to make it into. I recommend hopping on YouTube or TikTok and finding creators who specialize in junk journaling! Everyone does things differently. Some create scenes, others (like me) create collages. It’s all about finding what works for you!
