Introducing the Junk Journal Joy Club — And a Free Taster Course to Get You Started!

I’ve been struggling with my creativity for a while now. And whenever I feel like I’m not doing enough I am always drawn back to journalling. Whether I use words of images, collage or paint to tell my story I feel like journalling is something that calls to me no matter what frame of mind I am in.

There is something magical about it.

·       Maybe you feel the same way?

·       Do you have a drawer full of scraps you swear you’ll use someday?

·       Do you find joy in paint-splattered pages, washi tape borders, hidden pockets, and stitched-up stories?

Then this club is for you, my friend!

Welcome to the Junk Journal Joy Club!

This is my brand-new creative space where journaling gets messy, magical, and oh-so-joyful. Whether you’re completely new to junk journaling or a seasoned creative looking for fresh inspiration, this club was made with you in mind.

What Is the Junk Journal Joy Club?

It’s a modular, online art school where each course dives deep into a specific technique or theme—from junk journaling and bookbinding to pop-ups, texture paste, themed journals, and even book sculptures!

But more than that, it’s a place to:

Explore your creativity without pressure
Use what you already have at home
Tell your story through layers, color, and chaos
Turn everyday “junk” into deeply personal treasure

No rules. No rigid formats. Just creative self-expression in its happiest, scrappiest form.

Start for Free with “From Junk to Joy”

To celebrate the launch of the Junk Journal Joy Club, I’m offering a completely free taster course to get you started. And trust me—it’s packed with value!

In “From Junk to Joy: Set Up, Spray, Stitch & Start” you’ll learn how to:

Turn a bookshelf or cabinet into your personal art studio
Make your own color mists using supplies you already have
Whip up homemade texture paste for delicious dimension
Create your first junk journal with a simple pamphlet stitch and lots of handmade charm

And yes—it’s 100% free.

Why I Created This Club

Junk journaling helped me through burnout, stress, and seasons of self-doubt. It reminded me that you don’t need perfect conditions to create something beautiful. You just need a little corner of space, a handful of scraps, and the freedom to play.

That’s what I want for you, too.

This club is my love letter to creativity—to the messy, experimental kind that doesn’t worry about straight lines or matching pages. It’s about making space for yourself. And turning your story into something you can hold in your hands.

Ready to Get Started?

Let’s spray, splatter, fold, and stitch our way into joy.

I can’t wait to create with you.
