create a junk journal 📓

I’m really trying to disconnect from social media a little bit more because I feel like we are stuck in a loop. junk journaling helps me to be more present in every day life and collect momentum to remember all the memories🥰

I added a lot of stickers because I didn’t love the words that were over the journal and I added stickers to the back of the journal as well to customize it and make it more personal! I love all this turned out especially because I’ve always wanted to do this but never had the guts to put stickers on the outside of my journal!🤭🎀

Who I am with some words to describe me!

the first official junk journal spread!

I use some pictures and junk from my birthday to create a birthday spread I still have a lot of other items that I will create more spreads ways but for now this is the first one!

i created a photobooth and little junk dump!

my final birthday spread!

I’ve been seeing a lot of people to color pages and since pink is my favorite I wanted to do a pink spread!

i’ve really been loving empanadas lately and found a really good place close to us! I decided to keep all the junk from our food delivery and make a spread with it while adding a photo of my boyfriend and I🥰🤭

i used old TOILET PAPER rolls and some bounty!! i love how this spread turned out.

now that the weather has been a little more crisp it officially feels like all day and when I think about autumn I remember when I used to live in New York! I still had a lot of my film pictures printed out and decided to make a page dedicated to New York

we got Bobby for the first time and I wanted to make a spread with the boxes and also use some of the can!

for the Christmas tree pop up I just folded a large piece of paper so that when I stick it it would create this cute effect! I also added the interactive presence that when you open them they have my Christmas wish list on it !

for the spread I did more of a scrapbooking spread! I added some of my favorite photos during the holidays and road around the pictures what exactly it is that I love about Christmas! This is such a fun spread to re-create every year because you can see how your favorites change!

making the snow globe was easier than I thought but still a little challenging! This is such a fun interactive page that I recommend everyone to try!

I decided to use all of my scraps from my holiday spreads and create a woven page! You start by attaching all of the vertical pieces to the top of the page and then leaving the rest un-glued. then as you add your horizontal stripes one by one after you move it through going under -over a few times you secure your horizontal strap on the side which then secures the vertical at that exact spot! continue this throughout the whole page and just finish the bottom by securing all of the vertical straps together and your woven page should be complete 🥰

i wanted to do a sticker “dump” page before the journal is finished! I love how the golden bomb added something a little extra and made the page look really cute!

finally got around to doing the first christmas spread! only 2 more pages to go before we start a new journal!

i didn’t expect to receive a gift card at work for christmas since i just started but they gave me one and it made me so teary! Crazy how a good work environment can change your perspective on work!😂

I’m so proud of myself for finally accomplishing a goal and it’s all because I was able to keep track of my progress on the Opus Café app! I usually get discouraged when I try to accomplish some goals and I believe that by seeing progress that I’ve made and having it logged motivated me to continue going! ON TO THE NEXT!✨
