What is a Junk Journal?

A junk journal is a handmade book made from recycled materials, such as old papers, magazines, envelopes, and wrapping paper.

Junk journals can be used for many purposes, including:

• Writing, drawing, and painting: The pages can be used for recording thoughts, ideas, and inspiration
• Scrapbooking: Junk journals can be used for scrapbooking memories such as vacations or kids' photos
• Art journaling: Acrylic paint, watercolor, and gouache can be used in junk journals
• Project keeping: Junk journals can be used to keep track of projects
• Mood boards: Junk journals can be used to create mood boards

There are no rules for what to include in a junk journal, and the maker can decide how they want to use it.

What is an ATC?

An artist trading card (ATC) is a small piece of art that is traded, collected, and created by artists. ATCs are typically 2.5 in x 3.5 in, the same size as a baseball card or playing card. They may also be used for displaying photos of your children & family, or special memory from a vacation.

What is Ephemera?

Ephemera is a term used to describe the items used to decorate or make a junk journal, including:

• Tags
• Bookmarks
• Postcards
• Tucks
• Pockets
• Notepaper
• Images

I can't wait to create art and share good company with you!
