20 Junk Journal and Pen Pal ideas!! | DIY Ephemera | Paper crafting 

Absolutely love quirky specimen cards with the junk. Reminds me of peering in a window to see people's homes

Not to sound too dramatic but this video is life changing. You've given so many first ideas! Thanks!

I watch a LOT of junk journal videos. This one blew my mind. So many unique and fresh ideas. I love your style! Don’t get me wrong… I love grunge and vintage, but your pieces are so fresh and clean, while still being junky and scrappy. 😂 BTW - that’s a BIG compliment. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos!

Love shaker cards, the scrunchie sound of dyed paper, cloth tabs…everything you created here is full of ideas that continue to inspire. Thanks so much. Happy creating for ‘24!

No, no no -- scraps are great !! I tried to explain to my daughter why some day she might find lots and lots of them in my craft room. She thinks I'm just a paper hoarder, LOL, but I know we all understand the deal about scraps! I love your ideas, they're fantastic!!

One of the most original ideas I've seen in a long time! You have me so freaking excited to create!

Specimen cards: I have some pics of material from some dresses I made my daughter when she was little, then attach a journaling card telling what it was used for.

The pouch of scraps...😮... just love that one. I'm addicted to shakers and what I call "soundy" things... and those definitely check the boxes for me. TFS!

First time on this channel, and I LOVE the simplicity and freshness of these ideas! My favourites are the quirky specimen cards - SO much more fun than the usual ones! I love the humour of them, and they look great. The cards with the little coloured hearts, also the ones with the anatomical hearts blew me away - some really sophisticated colour ideas here. Love how coherent they look - and all in the true "junk" spirit! I'm going to go and check out your videos - though there's enough in this one to keep me going for months.

I love love the last project. Those black words really pop on your gorgeous background!

I love the scrap paper shakers! Excellent idea! 🩷😁 Thanks for sharing all your creative examples! Really inspiring!

You mention coffee dying. I like dying the whole page and later using stencils and spray colors or darker coffee. Your cards at end totally rock.

These are totally my jam, thank you for sharing! Now I need to find where my magazines are.

Obsessed with index cards!!!

Thank you so much for brilliant ideas. I was thinking that those little packets could have things you had from a special party.Things like bits of wrapping paper, sparkles,etc.

I love the crinkle sound too

I love the cards with a plastic centre I would put a jungle scene behind the lion so that you can journal on the other side a brilliant idea. Thank you for the amazing ideas my head is spining with ideas now I am new here I have tons of vids to watch can not wait to see what else you do. tfs Nicole UK

Love the window of scraps

The scrap specimen card is my favourite

I am writing a huge list of ideas, thank you. I love the specimen card with the shoes - kind of reminds me of Renē Magritte work - he did a painting of a pipe with the words "this is not a pipe" under it, and a framed oil painting of a wedge of cheese under a glass dome - so anyway, maybe you could add "Fig. 1" next to it at the bottom, subtle but gives the idea of specimen card. Very cool work, thanks for sharing! I would totally work with a little bag of scraps - I like working on a small scale and I love the restriction of only using limited supplies. Maybe I would add another type of element - twine, fabric, teabag or label it with a journal prompt maybe?

So many fun ideas! I especially like the scrap pouches. 😊

Here for ALL OF IT🙌🏽 ❤❤ Polaroid!! 🥳 fly Friend fly✨

I love how you use scraps! Keep talking about them. You’re so creative. Great video!

I can’t pitch little pieces of pretty ribbon so that’s what I’d put in a specimen card. Actually, this might be a good project for my elementary school art classes at the end of the year - thank you!

So many scrappy ideas. I’ve got to try these.

Hi! I'm new here and I just subscribed because I can already see that you think outside the box, and I love that in a junk journaler. I totally love your idea of putting scraps in a specimen card! I was thinking I could put threads in there from my ort jar. It's almost like a shaker when you use the tiny stuff. But I love that you now have me thinking about what other things would be interesting to put in a specimen window.

Love Love love it, well done, I'm into your fun and how you find it fun, thank you for sharing, subscribing now 😊

Can you due process videos of each of these? Especially the specimen type things and confetti!

I'm new to the junk journaling universe and I do *not* understand the tag obsession! 😆

Hi! new viewer. The string you were trying to think of .....Jute string, or Jute twine.

How did you cut the frames for the specimen cards and confetti things?

A lipstick, a purse

Wonderful! Are you a New Yorker...?
