10 COMMON MISTAKES IN JUNK JOURNALING | Junk Journals by Jen 

The only mistake in junk journaling is not trying it at all!

I love that not only do you warn about common mistakes, but you show how to work around them if they happen

I thought your first junk journal looked pretty good for a first attempt. The pages looked very creative.❤️

I really, really like your philosophy of making junk journals being about the journey. So refreshing to have those 10 mistakes pointed out. thank you!🦌💌❤️📚

Thanks! I found this very helpful!

OMGosh. #5 is totally me. Too much stuff on my desk. If I'm gonna make a single tag, I have 6 piles of 'stuff' on my desk.

These are great tips!!! By the way… I absolutely LOVE your “tag line”…. Journaling is About the Journey! So true.

Hi...new subscriber here. I am new to Junk Journaling and haven't bitten the bullet yet and jumped in. I have been watching videos and amassing knowledge... What to do, how to do, what to use... Oh my...I can save so many things 🤪. I love the what not to do tips. I also love how so many journal gals will show what they did and how to fix it. You all are so helpful. I am hoping to get settled in a new home and set up a place to work soon. Thank you ! 🥰

I have wasted so much money trying different glue sticks until I found this one and love it. I like it is larger than many, lasts longer and fits my hand nicely. Glue sticks are such a personal thing. When I look at it realistically, I realize this is part of my junk journaling experiential journey…to find out more about myself, what I like and dislike, and what I enjoy. I have a couple of folks I know also just starting out with paper crafting and we exchange things we personally do not like. Not only is it a way to save some money, but we are able to recycle items we my toss in the trash, and experiment with items we might not think about trying. It is a win-win for all 3 of us. I have to agree poster Cleo T, I am learning the only mistake in junk journaling is for me not trying. Thanks for sharing your experience, thoughts and tips! Thanks for sharing

Thanks for your transparency. I hope the newbies find you and are grateful for the tips! Well done.

Thank you for this!! Especially #1. We are all a bit neurotic with fear. Sometimes I can't make a decision of what looks best. Drives me crazy. I did see on the interweb that there was a way to time yourself I give yourself what 2 minutes to make this decision or something. Anyway from 60-year-old new Crafter from the Bay Area

Thanks for the tips! I've made many of those mistakes too. :) Great tip about re-inking the Tim Holtz ink pads also!

New here, and appreciated the tips you shared for Junk Journaling. Love the view of your desk for crafting. Sure looks cleaner than mine, it’s a disaster, lol. I’m off to see some more of your videos now. Take care, Gilly

Good tips. Another way I have used to spread ink is the back of a plastic spoon.

Very helpful

Currently making a journal rn so TYFS this!!
