Crafty Cart Grab & Go Crafting Kits

Junk Journaling is more free-form and playful twist on scrapbooking. Instead of just photos, you use scraps like ticket stubs, maps, postcards, book pages, lace, stickers, or “junk” you love. The pages don’t need to match or be perfect—they’re about layering, collaging, and creative expression.

👉 In short: Scrapbooking is memory-keeping. Junk journaling is memory-making + art play.

How to Host:

1. Pick your base: Use a small notebook, folded paper, or a single tag/card.

2. Layer papers: Mix scrapbook pieces, old book pages, maps, or envelopes.

3. Add texture: Use washi tape, ribbons, fabric, or lace scraps.

4. Glue it down: Overlap and layer for a “scrappy” look.

5. Decorate: Add stickers, stamps, doodles, or buttons.

6. Write or doodle: Jot down a quote, memory, or fun note.

7. Make it yours: No rules—mix, match, and create your own style!
