Struggling to start a junk journal page? That blank page feeling is real—but it doesn’t have to stop your creativity.

In this video, I’m sharing 3 simple junk journal starters that help you jump right in without overthinking:
• Creating flaps and pockets for instant structure
• Using shape punches to build a focal point
• Blocking out journaling cards (yes…those ones we all hoard)

These are easy, repeatable ideas that you can use again and again—especially on days when your creativity feels a little stuck.

I’m also sharing a bonus tip for using the scraps left on your desk at the end of the day to create something unexpected and fun.

This is all about making junk journaling feel approachable, flexible, and low-pressure—because you don’t have to overcomplicate it to create something you love.
