completed junk journal flip through ✿ tips, tricks and ideas for your journal

[@Lucky42lvl]

This is EXACTLY what I wanted to see when I went searching. I keep seeing people make junk journals that are creative yet empty. I wanted examples of something more sentimental. I want to make something more like this! Thank you!

[@Iroh12345]

I think it's wonderful that so many spreads are family-focused, and I also love that you did a lot more painting in this journal, it makes it feel very unique and it's a great addition to the papers, writing and pictures. Hope to see more painting in your new journal!

[@Creativefairydesigns]

Yes I agree❤

[@janedoe1790]

Sentimentalists are special people. They are generous with their love and seek authenticity. The journals we have kept for our memories are a spectacular achievement because our lives are in them. Reminding us to treasure them and to value them and the people in them. Look at all the followers clamouring for your handmade journals it because your loving hands and thoughts have created them. Be proud that people see your journals a fitting place to keep their most precious memories in because you have become so kindred to us all that appreciate your authenticity.

I LOVE your journals! I love that theyre a mix of photos, images, ephemera, and written journaling. All the layers and textures are wonderful! Thank you for sharing!

[@DakdoukahTales]

I liked the mix and match of so many things in the same journal and the way you using different spaces and pockets for lots of family memories. I'm sure your grandkids (after many years) will enjoy reading this journal. Thanks for sharing.

[@denisal278]

Always a delight watching your finished work. I admire the consistency, I always struggle with that in my journal keeping 😅

[@MyPrettyPaperPassion]

I agree that this is your best journal yet. I appreciate how you included more of your beautiful 😊 paintings and drawings in this journal. That is something that I would like to incorporate more as well. Seeing your process step-by-step makes it less intimidating for me and I’m sure others. Thank you so much for the inspiration! 😊

[@Lillythe1andonly]

This was the first video I've watched on your channel and it was so nice. Thank you 💕 I'm new in journaling and I got a lot of inspiration. 😊

[@riteasrain]

It's so interesting seeing you write goals and fashion and home stuff, reminds me of what I did in my 20s and then into my 30s with kids, so much more goal setting and career and establishing oneself, creating a life. Things are so diffferent now at my age, of course it's so less busy, and those things are no longer the centre or as important. Interesting the different stages of life. Great video, thank you 🤩 I love going back over my journals too.

[@caroleanderson1106]

So fun to go through the flip through. Loved all the family pictures. Thank you and take care, Johanna!

[@rosalieclough608]

Loved it Yo ❤ I always feel like you're so busy and I'm not present in your life enough but it's nice to see your year's summary & know we were present and aware of your biggest moments ❤ so nice to see it all as a flashback. Wish I had your diligence in capturing all these moments in time xx

[@aleksandra.s.89]

So many beautiful pages in this journal! The paintings and drawings add a really sweet touch. 💕 I also like writing down conversations with strangers! I find that older/elderly people are more likely to start talking to me while we're waiting in line or for an appointment. And they always have interesting stories about their lives, so I feel sentimental and like to write down those meetings. 😊 Thanks for always being such a big inspiration to so many of us!

[@afeeser]

You have lots of fun ideas here. I always enjoy watching your flip-thoughs. Thanks for sharing.

[@chaektory451]

This is a journal with so many stories and techniques. I was very inspired by your journal and thank you so much for sharing. ❤❤❤

[@moreliasmood]

This is the most incredible journal I’ve ever seen. Thank you for so much inspiration & excitement for starting a new journal!

[@thelovelyyyone]

I’ve been watching you for like 4 years and your methods and thoughts are really inspiring and interesting! sometimes I feel overwhelmed and unable to think clearly, but when I watch your videos, I get excited and more creative HUGE THANKS, Johanna for all the beautiful things you make🙏

[@Jeannes1234]

This journal is such a lovely tribute to your family members. What a wonderful keepsake.❤

[@eherrera0130]

Wow!! I am watching your video as I'm crocheting and You inspired me to try to catch up on my journal. Very informative and good ideas. Tysvmfs Looking forward to seeing more of your vids.

[@RustyTrainor]

Such a beautiful record of your year and so much fun to look back on with your kids in a few years. I am just starting to create my own art journal and I think I will use some of your ideas to personalize it. Thanks for sharing Johanna 😀

[@lisas7025]

I always love seeing your finished journals as it inspires me to journal more and get ideas of how to decorate the pages. A great treasure of memories to look back at some day.

[@jenniferpetrasek]

I love seeing your artwork and journals. From the first video I watched of yours during yucky covid till today I still get so much Joy from your videos. I feel that I owe my love for journaling to you.

[@CoffeeAndColour]

You are so inspiring! Looking forward to all your videos!! Can't wait to see how your new Journal will look like! Hope you will share it very soon!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@RobinfromCA]

I love your filled journals and your "journal with me" videos. They are so inspiring for family memory keeping which is what I do.

[@PatSimmons-g4r]

Love the 'nice to meet you' idea. Such a special journal. Thank you for sharing.

[@priyasambasivan2249]

I love the Nice To Meet You page!!! I love the idea and the look of it :)

[@sherriparojcic5929]

Beautiful and inspirational. I save and collect so much memorabilia and you have helped to spark so many ideas as to incorporating it into memory keeping! ❤

[@kimw4324]

Love these videos. Inspired me to create my own for 2025

[@MissJay4258]

Wonderful and creative journal with so many crafting ideas.

[@beckydorian7043]

Such gorgeous journal ❤❤

[@lauracook725]

Johanna, This journal is one of my favorites you have decorated! I love all the journaling to your family and the paintings are absolutely beautiful! I LOVE the carousel!!!!! ❤ You never disappoint with any of your journals , it shows the love for your family and friends!! Thanks so much for sharing! 💗

[@AzaleaLala]

It's absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@riapieterse5861]

Gorgeous 💗 Exactly my style. Absolutely love it.

[@vikkivanveldhuizen2290]

I own a Singer Featherweight sewing machine. I about jumped out of my chair when I saw the piece you put in your journal. I want that piece!!! lol. Thanks for sharing this journal. I love the family items you put in it.

[@katecollis3659]

Great inspiration and love the art and mix of items x

[@kimw4324]

Great video on how to use a journal. I love making them but never can figure out what to put in them

[@m.zamora8005]

Johanna, I love your style of journaling - I love how you preserve the every day little bits and make them into incredible collages. I struggle with whether to add the one of a kind pieces, like the original post cards and boarding passes and seashells to the family scrapbook or to add it to my personal journal - how do you decide? Do you also keep a truly personal journal that only you have access to and is the format of it different than the journals that you share here? Anyone else also have the same struggle? I have ephemera of recent trips and don't know whether to save it for what will be a family type of scrapbook or to keep it for my own journal.

[@fabiana58]

Your flip-through are so inspiring!

[@LoveOfArt87]

I love this. I often journal and do a lot of paper craft but I go back and forth. I need to focus more on journaling. I have the worst memory and this would help reminisce those special moments

[@EmerySkyStudio]

Just so beautiful and meaningful and inspiring! ❤

[@ChantelleArts]

it's like every page is full of memories!! 🥰

[@beckydorian7043]

Beautiful ❤❤❤

[@T34Panda]

Learning to worry less about aesthetics and put more personal touches like artwork into my journal is something I've been really wanting to do, so seeing how someone else has done it has really helped inspire me. I love how it looks as well, so it definitely hasn't taken away from the aesthetic. I've considered getting one of those Instax printers too (I've avoided most thermal ones because of fading), but the refills are not the cheapest. Have you found the prints come out well first time, or have you had to waste some with trial and error? For receipts, I've also been trying to prevent them fading long term and considered scanning them and printing a copy on tracing paper, then stapling it with the original for the journal. I haven't tried this yet but perhaps it's something you'd want to try out too 😊

[@JohannaClough]

The instax refills are not cheap! However they have come out nicely every time! I love them

[@T34Panda]

@JohannaClough thank you! I might still get it then for the odd occasion 😊

[@MyDjturner]

Thanks for sharing this journal. I should journal myself more often, so I have some more ideas to make it interesting.

[@EllenBelli]

beautiful!! God Bless you and your family!!

[@maikeannamohr2119]

Wonderful picturebook!! 😊❤️👍👍👍

[@perfectlyimperfectcrafts3615]

Your journals are always amazing . Always inspiring . Live your videos

[@GabriellaAcabella]

Excellent video. Gorgeous journal 🎉

[@caseface8645]

this is so special and very inspiring!

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Love your journal. thank you for sharing. great inspiration. 😃👍

[@farrfarraway1902]

I love watching your flip throughs. They are always so inspirational. I notice you don't use fabric on the inside of the spines of your hard cover journals and instead paint them. How do you prevent paint cracking the crease between the cover and spine? Thanks!

[@scrapbookshopplanner6084]

This journal is beautiful what do you use for every day diary planning or to do lists?

[@JohannaClough]

I have a planner from bespoke letterpress at the moment!

[@shirleenapachito5451]

I love your journaling style. I recently started junk journaling, but felt a bit overwhelmed decorating about a couple weeks in and found I like to write more than decorate. Thank you for your inspiration, I will try more of your style journaling for December. 😊❤ Also, what camera do you use?

[@T34Panda]

Decorating is only for yourself anyway so try not to feel obligated to do it when you find it overwhelming. I also started out with Junk journaling about 10 years ago and burnt out after a year because I had a certain standard of decorating I wanted to do for each page. A solution for me was to save a digital entry when I had something to write about, and then only put it into the journal when I was in a creative mood. You might also find you like to just write and leave some space in the borders in case you want to go back later to add stuff. I really hope you don't get put off journaling, it's one of the best things I've decided to start doing. I hope you find your perfect method/style and that it brings you a lot of joy 😊 good luck!

[@JohannaClough]

I use the sony zv-1 ♥️

[@jenniferwatson7118]

So lovely!

[@lucyfanning7496]

I love it! Thank you for sharing. Where do you purchase your wide washi tape from? I haven’t seen such pretty patterns in a wide version. Thanks

[@JohannaClough]

The wide tapes are from Washi Wednesday ♥️

[@PiinkBunniie]

I just started junk journaling and I wanted to add a sash from my bachelorette party in it .. what glue do you think i should use since it is a thin fabric?

[@alexandrasstudio5308]

[@ibagm.8]

wie viele meter bücherregal wirst du im alter von 50 jahren für diese junk journals benötigen? *das ist eine ernstgemeinte frage meinerseits ... *

[@JohannaClough]

I ask myself this question too! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@romysv]

My problem witj journals is mt life isn0t eventful enough. I mostly work tbh :/ si 've merged journaling with my planner and write and past things when they do happen. I need tips T.T bc this is gorgeous!

[@JohannaClough]

My life isn’t very eventful either! I totally get it, i touched on this a little in this video, but you can get really creative about journaling really small moments!
