Junk journal joy club
Where Creativity Meets Chaos,
and Every Scrap Tells a Story!
Welcome to your new creative haven - the junk journal joy club
Are you ready to turn scraps into stories, clutter into creativity, and everyday junk into a creative masterpiece?
Welcome to the Junk Journal Joy Club—your new home for playful, soulful, and gloriously messy creativity. Whether you're someone who’s been hoarding scraps for years or just discovering the joy of turning "junk" into personal treasure, this is where your creative journey truly begins.
We believe that joy lives in the layers—in ink-splattered papers, stitched-together pages, pop-up pockets, and messy hands full of possibility. This is your creative sanctuary where journaling becomes interactive, personal, and gloriously imperfect.

mix and match courses
create on a budget * create joy
Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned artist looking to shake things up, you’ll find step-by-step classes, hands-on projects, printable resources, and a like-minded community ready to cheer you on. Every module is self-paced, standalone, and bursting with creative inspiration. I believe that journaling should never feel rigid or intimidating. It should be joyful, expressive, healing, and uniquely yours. That’s why I’ve created a space filled with modular, mix-and-match courses that let you explore journaling, bookmaking, mixed media, and storytelling at your own pace, in your own way.
Start off with the free taster course and then pick and choose from the extensive course menu that will be shared in the coming months. From creating your own portable art studio to making all sorts of painted paper and collage fodder to learning different book binding techniques and even making themed journals that tell a story, this club will have it all!
You’ll learn to stitch books, splash color, craft texture, and engineer interactive pages—all while embracing imperfection and finding joy in the scraps.
