Skittledog - Junk This Journal

Junk This Journal

Transform blank pages into personal art with prompts you can follow or destroy

Junk journaling transforms everyday ephemera, ticket stubs, magazine clippings, fabric scraps, into personal creative archives. Eleanor Blatherwick's guide provides the structure newcomers need without restricting the spontaneous, anything-goes spirit that makes this craft so addictive. Each of the 128 pages presents prompts and imagery designed to spark ideas, from "About Me" pages to fruit sticker collections, giving you concrete starting points while you develop your own aesthetic.

The beauty lies in how you respond to those prompts. Follow them exactly if structure helps your process, or tear them out entirely and collage over the carefully designed pages. Spill paint across typeset tips. Layer washi tape until the original prompt disappears. This paperback format handles glue, stamps, stickers, and mixed media additions without precious-object anxiety, it's meant to be thoroughly transformed. The removable cover sticker sets the tone: even the packaging is raw material for your creativity.

At 8.2 by 6.3 inches, the journal fits comfortably on a desk while providing enough space for collage compositions. Social media has amplified junk journaling's popularity, but this tactile practice offers something screens can't, the satisfying physicality of building layered pages that document your life through collected fragments.
