Thanks for sharing 💜 Caroline 🎶🇨🇦

[@julesiou12]

I've just found your channel and it's brilliant. I love your relaxed way with how you put everything together. I love that you use everything and anything and make this patchwork effect with it all. It really gives a great base and comes together so beautifully. Thank you for sharing x

[@megjournals]

Thank you so much! Patchwork pages are my favourite :)

[@creativebreathings]

This quick accordion journal looks so fun and easy. It's July 2 when I'm watching, but I love making JJ's and all sorts of journals. I think I'll still try to join in!

[@thegrandfernalley9146]

I've never seen anyone make a journal like you did here! I love it! So freeing! I'd love to know how you hold it together, though. I've got so many scraps so will be using some of them for this project! TFS!

[@megjournals]

Thank you so much! i've punched a hole on the right hand side of the front cover, tied some string and then used that to wrap around the journal.

[@EssieRuthMakes]

I *love* this method for making a journal - I need to try it straight away! 🥰

[@julievitous8069]

Thank you Essie Ruth for introducing me to this channel and this journal style!

[@PixieKDesigns]

Hi Meg, Kate from NZ. So happy to have found you, pretty new to journal making and very new to actual journaling. So timely to have found Junk journal July as I am currently wanting to practice journaling on a regular basis. So yay, bring on July. thank you. x

[@megjournals]

A great time to get involved! Happy journaling!

[@salvagedpieces7967]

Yes I will be doing the #JunkJournalJuly challenge. Looking forward to it

[@megjournals]

Yay!!

[@ajca3161]

I love watching how you made this journal. I'm off to try it 🙂

[@megjournals]

Have fun!! :)

[@brigitter1469]

I am going to try this. Thank you

[@timothymathetes]

Thanks for the tips, they are very helpful and encouraging. I have often started things and would get discouraged when I miss days, then I don't go back to finish, which is another measure of discouragement. I like the tip of keeping at it and going back to pick up where I left off, as well as doing a little at a time being better than doing nothing at all. Thanks again. ADEBO (Tim's wife) PS I love this journal idea! I recently started an accordion ideas book, which I enjoy working in, so adding the collage journaling element to that is inspiring to me.

[@megjournals]

Thanks for watching!

[@sandrafisherhayes3219]

So Meg...I have finally summoned up the courage to create my own accordian junk journal! It is imperfect (I have made one before but it was using watercolour paper which is quite thick and the only paper available to me). Now I know I can use different papers 😁 it is so much fun! I love the fact I can use most papers and paper bags etc. Thank you Meg! So glad I subscribed to your channel ❤🌹 Oh! Do you have a tutorial for making the covers for your journals?

[@kcueva313]

That is super cool 👍🏻

[@megjournals]

Thank you!

[@glendadyar8975]

I love your challenges and how wonderful that you’ve got a collab going on with so many awesome and talented journalers and KZbin artists. I made one of your a6 soft spine journals to go into my new Grace & salt ink pocket TN. I love it, but I may make something a bit smaller for the July prompts. Thank you for hosting this and I’m really excited to join in. Xx

[@megjournals]

It's going to be so much fun! Your new journal sounds dreamy !

[@joiedefi]

Great idea to share this with us meg, I was just wondering today which junk journal on my shelf to use in July, although I suspect I might need more than one. I've recently added a few new supplies too which I'm super excited to use in our daily spreads. I confess my washi tape tub runneth over 😁💜

Try everything!!!! That’s the only way to see what you like 😊

It looks challenging to me… Never done this before but I would love to make it as a present to someone. How many single pages did you use? Can it be more or it would be too much? Thank you for the great tutorial! 👌🏻🥰🪶

After a mental break down, I got rid of Instagram. Is there other options ? or should I re-join IG? I am currently making the jj for it :)

You can totally join in with the prompts without posting to Instagram :) There's a link in the description to access (and print if you'd like) the prompt list via Dropbox.💛
