I have been looking for this folder of collage images for, I dunno, 3 years! I found it the other day, I totally forgot I moved it all into this folder! I haven't looked at this, yet....so come along as I rediscover all these collage images that I had carefully saved and thought that I had lost! Who knows what is in here!
Thanks for watching!
Stitch scrappily, scrap happily!

Come see how I try and try again and maybe practice sketches with me!

Hoarding up some stash?
Bought it and never used it?
Love it and don't know what to do with it?
ME TOO! Come see my collection of mushrooms and beetles. Pair it all with ledger paper and add grunge and, voila, 2 journal cards come to life! It's like magic!
I am working my way through the #50stackchallenge7, hosted by the lovely and talented Amy @craftycat7212 . (Be sure to follow the hashtag to see what other creators are sharing!) Jump in and play along! Pull out your stash of supplies and glue sticks and let's get crafting! I love how these journaling cards came out. They have me feeling inspired to make a whole nature journal. The mushroom card really started to develop its own delightful story. My collection of journaling cards is really starting to grow!

I am continuing to Consider Orange while I work on week 39 prompts, orange and punched circle. The #artisanjournalprompt2025 is hosted by Kiki (@kikiandshawn ) and Lori June (@Sarcastically60something ). Meanwhile, I have decided to spend a little time every day this week working with the color orange. Mainly to challenge myself to step out of my comfort zone and work with a color that doesn't often make it onto my palette. What softens the heart towards orange more than some beautiful fall trees? I use some tried and true techniques and make a background using neocolor crayons to support this forest of trees created from punched circles.
I hope you have a great time exploring orange with me! This one is really just some relaxing creating!
Until next time,
Stitch scrappily, scrap happily!

Join me as I paint my way to a new understanding of the color orange. While I really love color, all color, orange has always been, well, my least favorite. I have been doing the #artisanjournalprompt2025, hosted by Kiki @kikiandshawn and Lori June @Sarcastically60something . When Kiki gave prompt Orange for week 39, I decided to try spend a little time for the entire week thinking about my least favorite color. Come along as I explore the color orange here at the beginning of fall. Maybe I will warm up to orange!
I am going to release my exploration of orange over a series of videos. In this video, I share some orange notes on an orange journal page, practice some seasonal orange watercolor and talk about what I think orange symbolizes.
Here is the link to using complimentary colors in watercolor: youtube.com/shorts/ORGgZ0NVGPA?si=6_pCZv0f3SFhZjQK

#DIYephemera, #junkjournaling #papercrafts
I came into this video recovering from the shock of having lost the contents of my entire hard drive and my camera not holding a charge, but needing to soldier on. The act of turning to some simple creative exercises, placing stickers, making a simple leaf stamp, decorating a page, helped me to move from a state of frustration back to a peaceful center. This year, this has been the lesson that has come to me again and again. It gets easier with practice and I am grateful to find myself in a place where I can slip into the pages and find a salve for my hurts, a place where the disappointments of life slip away as creativity reminds me again and again what really matters.
The #artisanjournalprompt2025 is hosted by Kiki @kikiandshawn and Lori June @Sarcastically60something . Feel free to jump in and create using the weekly prompts or just follow the hashtag!

#50stackchallenge7 , week 3
prompt 5 - postage stamp
prompt 6- flower
Hosted by Amy @craftycat7212
Hello, welcome to my art studio today!
I realized after I made these journal cards this week that one is made from purchased ephemera and the other one is entirely my own artwork. The postage stamp card is made entirely from purchased ephemera, washi tape, scrapbook paper, postage stickers, rubber stamps. I had collected all this in my stash and today was the day it all came out to play!
On the other end of the spectrum, the flower journal card is entirely original art. So often, I just want to create and don't even think to go to my stash of collected goodies. In the second part of the video, I make my own foam flower stamps. Don't worry, I walk you through the whole process and I have made the flower prints available on my Ko-fi shop! I wanted to make these stamps for a while and this prompt was all I needed to get started!
Either way, I absolutely love both of these journaling cards! Which ever way you make your ephemera, I hope you enjoy watching my process in this video! Get cozy and craft along with me!
Stitch scrappily, scrap happily!

The bonus prompt for #artisanjournalprompt2025 this week is gratitude leaves, that is week 38! This was perfect for making some foam stamps so I can make a lot of leaves. I have a lot to be grateful for! I test these out on some gel print paper. These would be great to make and send in happy mail too!
Thank you so much for watching.

This is week 2, of the #50stackchallenge7
prompt 3 - Green Tree
prompt 4 - Flower
This collab is hosted by Amy @craftycat7212 . Every week she pulls 2 prompts and makes a piece of junk journal ephemera for each prompt. Feel free to join in and craft along and be sure to search #50stackchallenge7 for more inspiring prompt responses.
I create 2 mixed media journal cards every week for this challenge. For Green Tree, I use stencils to create a green pine forest, pretty simple. I will chat you though the whole process, so grab your favorite beverage and settle in, or maybe craft along!
I pull out some ephemera from a scrapbooking kit that I have had in my stash for a long time, add some grungy lace and some grungier leftover paint waste paper. This makes for a lovely journaling card with some pockets and tuck spots for a TON of writing space. The card also has a little humor added, which I hope you will enjoy.
I really enjoyed making these 2 unique pieces of ephemera. Again, a big thanks to Amy at Crafty Cat for hosting a fun challenge! I am starting to see my collection of journal cards grow. Each one is a little piece of art on its own!
Stitch scrappily, scrap happily!

Today I am doing some easy watercolor pumpkins. join me for some jazzy music and watercolor. I hope you enjoy!
I am catching up on week 37 prompt for #artisanjournalprompt2025, hosted by Kiki's Life. Kiki @kikiandshawn gives the prompt for the week every Monday. Be sure to check it out if you want to play along. There is also a bonus prompt for this, given each week by cohost, Lori June @Sarcastically60something . This week 37 is Gratitude Leaves. I have another video coming out for that, so be sure to check back.
Week 38 bonus prompt is punched circles, which is going to be a lot of fun. Next week I have a lot of catching up to do! I hope you are ready for some fast release videos!

Prompt 1: Ripped Prompt 2: Sticker
If you like big crafting videos that you can craft along with, I recommend: youtu.be/fSGF8fXCq84?si=bSxXijyKVtxbZ7gh
I decided to jump in and participate in #50stackchallenge7, hosted by Amy at Crafty Cat, @craftycat7212 . Amy picks 2 prompts randomly, and announces them every Monday. Week 1, the prompts were Ripped and Sticker. Check out Amy's channel to follow along; search the hashtag to see what other collaborators are making!
I am a little late learning about this, so I am playing catch up! For my ephemera, I am going make a stack of 50 journal cards. My plan is to make 50 collages over the next 25 weeks on 4 x 6 cards according to the prompts. This is the first time I am participating and the idea of having a growing pile of journal card collages is really exciting.
To get started, I used both prompts for both my cards. I was really excited about using my Bibliophilia sticker book for making focal points on my collage. I really had fun using a mystery sticker for the first card, check it out to see what it is! The second card, you know me, I just couldn't help but make it a mini book, spontaneously, in the middle of crafting it. Watch while I figure out how to follow my inspiration! What will I get up to next. I love both these cards. One is just plain pretty, the other reminds me of childhood imagination, nursery rhymes and cozy books.
A super big thanks to Amy for hosting!! Thanks so much for watching! It means the world to me!

Watch as I turn vacation brochures into beautiful handmade paper beads. The process is simple and relaxing.
1. Cut brochures into long triangles
2. Ink the edges for definition
3. Roll onto a skewer and glue in place
4. Seal with clear nail polish (with or without glitter!)
At the end, I also share how I’ve organized my bead-making triangles into a handy project bag. This way, I can grab it anytime I want a relaxing craft for my hands while I’m unwinding, thinking, or watching something.
✨ A fun, practical project that turns scraps into treasures!
First, I walk you through the prompt cards and explain how this unusual collaboration works. The remaining 28 minutes are pure art journaling — painting circles, playing with color palettes outside my usual comfort zone (thanks to my collaborator’s suggestions!), and layering in patterns that echo ritual and rhythm.
Highlights:
Discovering how asking for outside input pushed me into new color combinations
Using simple forms like circles to create a meditative page
My favorite detail: a yellow-on-yellow flower pattern finished with brown pen accents
Reflections on ritual, repetition, and collaboration in art journaling
This is the start of an ongoing series — we’ll be pulling a new prompt each time and letting the journal grow one page at a time. There are 25 of these prompts, some of them seem pulled from my ongoing chats with Chat, and some seem to be uniquely Chatty in nature.
💡 Would you try a collaboration like this in your own journal? Let me know in the comments!

Join me as I work in my Visual Journal. I am following a prompt from #artisanjournalprompt2025, for week 36, the prompt is coffee. This is a theme that I have worked on recently and it has really evolved to mean much more than just simply coffee for me. Join me as I reflect on how coffee has become linked to memories of friends and time spent with family for me.
Journaling and making coffee are both rituals that bring me peace and remind me to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life. Practicing the watercolor, the repetitiveness of painting the beans becomes a meditation. I am so grateful for the time that I spend working in my journals, and for themes that grow deeper in meaning every time I meet them. Considering this theme again has enriched my coffee ritual, I have renewed enjoyment every time I brew a pot. It is all about the little things in life that can make such a difference.

Check out Hazy Crazy Artz @hazycrazyartz for some inspiring doodles and mixed media junk journal inspiration!
This bright and unexpected art journal collage took me 3 days to complete — way longer than I planned! I started with a simple idea: giving a marble statue of Sequana, Goddess of the Seine, a new home on a watercolor background. But the page quickly took on a life of its own!
First came a whimsical doodle jungle, then I decided to paper-piece an ancient ruined temple to match the statue. With layers of watercolor, ink, fussy cutting, and textured stone effects, the spread turned into a magical scene that I never saw coming.
I had so much fun following my creativity on this journey, and I hope it inspires you in your own collage and journaling!

🎨 What you’ll find in this video:
Drawing whimsical houses for your art journal
Easy inspiration for visual journaling spreads
A calm, creative process with my cat Grimm Grimm

In this video, I’m working in my Visual Journal, finishing a tag that I had already “seeded” in the pages earlier. I like to flip through the journal and see what’s ready to be completed today — letting the book itself guide me.
For this tag, I pulled color inspiration from the pocket it sits in — soft neutrals with pink highlights. I used a masterboard of avocado-dyed paper scraps to decorate the front, tying it into the pinks already in the journal. On the back, I created an inviting journaling space with a pink pen for doodling and drawing, and a brown pen for writing a few thoughts about life in this moment.
As I worked, I reflected on the slower pace of August and how the heat makes me move more gently. This journal is built day by day — little decorated spaces that invite me back, piece by piece, until it feels more and more like me.
To close, I tucked in a small scrap of avocado-dyed paper, a little “seed” for a future visit.
Thanks for watching!
Christina

Join me on a little road trip through the vintage backroads of California! I found this book at an antique shop. I love this book so much as an inspiration for travel journaling and it makes me want to pick up a pencil and make some sketches. This is a really a travel journal in print. Settle in and soak in the images of Backroads of California, sketches and trip notes by Earl Thollander.

This piece is part of my ongoing art journal journey, where I’m learning to slow down and let each page tell its own story in its own time. Instead of rushing to the next step, I’m giving this work the space it needs to grow naturally.
Join me for a quiet, reflective painting session and a reminder that sometimes the most beautiful things come when we let life unfold at its own pace.
Stitch happily, Scrap happily,
Christina

Come along as I pack, travel, and create with a light but intentional set of art supplies for my latest river trip. In this video, I share how I organize my travel bags for pens, papers, and journaling essentials — all centered around a manageable creative plan: testing my new Posca markers and continuing work in my visual journal.
In the first half:
✏️ Packing my travel journaling kit — including cardstock scraps in pretty and moody tones for marker testing, fun papers for collage, and the fundamentals (scissors, glue, and more)
✏️ Organizing everything into my traveler’s notebook and travel bag
🌊 Bonus: peaceful kayaking footage on the river
In the second half:
📓 Unpacking and sharing my finished pages — collage made from an Arkansas travel magazine I brought, doodles and designs created while testing the Posca markers (which were a joy to use)
🗒 Bullet journal spreads — a last-minute packing list and a bit of scheduling on the road
💡 My approach to travel journaling light — why I keep it manageable, choosing a project that fits the trip’s length, travel style, and planned activities
Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a longer adventure, this video offers ideas for packing light while still making space for creativity and memory-keeping on the road.

This is triple-duty creativity:
Creative Playtime – Let intuition guide where each scrap belongs.
Studio Clean-Up – Clear the desk and make space for the next project.
Reflection Time – Journaling about my most recent Maximal Mini Journal page and the story behind it.
Grimm Grimm the Cat keeps me company, adding to the peaceful, cozy vibe. If you love junk journaling, mixed media, or just slowing down to enjoy the creative process, this session is perfect for you.

In today’s Maximal Mini video, I share a deeply personal creative journey as I work through a challenging spread featuring the quote:
“Never, no never did Nature say one thing and Wisdom another.” – Edmund Burke
This page features a beautiful owl from a vintage field guide and takes a turn I didn’t expect. I struggled with the composition, the colors, and the message—until I stepped away and let the page speak for itself.
✨ Learn how I:
Build a stamped background on book pages
Create a nature-toned pocket using dyed muslin
Push through the “ugly phase” of the process
Layer focal points, labels, and rare ephemera to bring it all together
Sometimes, the most difficult pages have the most to teach us—about patience, perspective, and creative trust.
🧡 If you’ve ever gotten stuck mid-project, this one’s for you.

In today’s video, I’m sharing a glimpse into a brand-new visual journal I’ve just started—born from the need to combine my love of writing with the joy of junk journaling and mixed media collage. ✨
I realized I wasn’t using my traditional writing journal much lately, simply because I’ve been creating so many beautiful scraps, journal cards, and collage elements—and I wanted a space to use them in a meaningful, personal way.
This new journal is a place for daily reflections, goals, hopes, and dreams—a real record of my life, built from beautiful scrapbook papers, images from my art desk, and the ephemera of everyday living. I’m also tucking in stationery for longer written reflections and using those journal cards I’ve been making.
In this video, I reflect on the two journals I’m currently working on—the Maximal Mini Journal (filled with inspirational quotes) and the Modern Collage Journal—and I share my intention to work in this new visual journal for at least 10 minutes a day for the next 100 days.
Whether you’re new to junk journaling or looking for ideas on how to bring more of your personal story into your pages, I hope this inspires you to create a journal that reflects your unique journey.
🖋️ Let’s redefine what a junk journal can be—one day, one page at a time.
Until next time, Stitch scrappily, Scrap happily!

A huge thank you to host @leighcreates
It was so much fun to collab with so many wonderful creators.
You are all the best!
A few additional touches from a The Paper Outpost digikit and “book-worthy” stickers from my Imaginarium book added depth and interest. The soft, neutral palette let my creative inking techniques take center stage, bringing rich texture and subtle contrast to the spread.
This prompt felt like the perfect ending to the challenge—celebrating the humble book page as both material and muse, and showcasing the many forms of ephemera it offers.
Thank you for joining me throughout this journey!
Stitch scrappily, scrap happily,

As the town unfolds in depth and perspective, I included a handwritten quote that reads:
"No ticket required—just your imagination, and the journey begins."
This spread is a celebration of creativity, memory, and the places our minds can take us — with nothing more than a spark of imagination.
It was a challenge to edit this one (my desk assistant, Grimm the cat, had opinions!), but I’m proud of how it came together. I hope it inspires you to dream beyond the edges of the page.
Thanks for watching and creating alongside me!

These patterns were a joy to work with. I make some pockets and do some journaling about what? Patterns of course!

The page features neutral, organic tones pulled from handmade tea paper, thread, and joss paper. I included precious tea bags and layered used coffee filters to create a tactile, natural background. Two belly bands hold journaling cards collaged with scraps from the page itself — each one backed with coffee filters and filled with words that evoke tea, creativity, and community.
As a playful and touching detail, I added tiny “photographs” of anime-style girls in a café — AI-generated images that feel like snapshots of imagined creative moments. Each card and word tag draws on the shape of a teabag tag, a nod to the prompt and a symbol of steeped connection.
I also created hidden pockets behind the background for tucking away secret notes — reminders of the quiet magic that happens when we gather to make things together.
💌 This page is a love letter to the friendships formed through this shared creative journey.
🫖 Materials used:
Handmade tea-stained paper
Used tea bags & coffee filters
AI-generated café-themed images
Collaged paper scraps
Word tags shaped like tea labels
Journaling cards & hidden pockets
If you’ve found connection or inspiration through this challenge, I hope this page resonates with you too.
But honestly? I’m posting this video reluctantly. The page didn’t come together the way I envisioned it. I didn’t give the background enough attention, and the composition feels flat to me. Normally, I don’t redo pages. Junk journaling, for me, is about embracing imperfection—turning the page and moving forward. It’s a space to play, practice, and learn without judgement.
But this journal feels a little different. I want it to have more intention and completeness. So, I’ve decided that I will return to this spread, not to “fix” it, but to rebuild it with the care and depth I know the story deserves. I’m sharing this as a reminder: not everything goes right the first time—but when something is important, it’s okay to begin again.
Let me know how you interpret today’s prompt, and how you handle pages that don’t meet your vision. Do you redo them? Leave them? Layer over them later?
Thanks for being here, and for being part of this journey.
