Bringing the junk journal community together through immersive creative events.
Showing up live is an act of courage — and you did it beautifully.
A full day of live sessions means stepping into the moment without overthinking, without perfect lighting, without rehearsing. And you did it. You created in real time, you asked questions, you tried new things, you let yourself be seen.
Reflections
✨ Creativity doesn’t wait for perfect conditions
✨ You’re more capable than you think
✨ Showing up is the bravest part
You don’t need a plan to make something meaningful.
Today’s sessions were such a beautiful reminder that creativity doesn’t always start with a vision. Sometimes it starts with a mess, a color you’re drawn to, or a scrap that whispers “use me.”
Reflections
✨ Meaning often shows up after you start
✨ You’re allowed to make something just because it feels good.
✨ You don’t have to know where a page is going
I played with water color paint and alcohol inks.
I'm enjoying the presentations, and I can't wait to get some time to create some junk journals. I don't know how, but I made that mini booklet once, but I'm having trouble doing it again.🙂
Ella-you got it! I saw you get it! LOL I am glad you are enjoying everything! A little secret--I think (don't quote me but more than likely) we are going to do them again today and I am going to redo the design so hopefully that will help.
Small moments matter more than perfect pages.
Today reminded Michelle and I of something I think we all forget: creativity doesn’t need grand gestures. It grows in the tiny, ordinary moments — the scrap you almost threw away, the smudge that turned into a texture, the story that surfaced when you weren’t even trying.
Reflections
✨ Small moments are enough.
✨ Small moments are the magic.
✨ Small moments are where our stories live.
That I was able to find so much inspiration from all of the speakers. Every project was presented in such a wonderful way that I could actually craft with them.
I’m so excited to be here and learned all sorts of new techniques
YAY!!!! So am I! Thank you for joining!
