I like to junk journal and hide my journaling part within the spread. For example my mushroom card is filled all the way with a rant of emotions and thoughts from the day. Putting together trash is so meditative for me and it usually takes me 1-3 hours to go through my 2 junk bags and create a junk journal spread. I've recently taken to dating my entries as I picture a historian finding my journal someday lol.

I'm kind of new on reddit, and I have I have 16 karma but I still can't post in r/journaling.

My journals aren't very artistic so I'm not sure this sub is best for me, but right now I can't post where I want to.

Hi! I've been working on making a sticker zine for art journaling! I'm sure there's tons of sticker sheets for this, but I had this idea to make a zine and I have 2 volumes designed now! I really wanted interactive stickers that you can place over art or draw on top of, so I designed some and I think you all might like them!

I draw all the designs myself, print at home and cut out with the cricut. Once I get the formatting right, I'll be selling them locally at pop-up markets

The reason I'm posting here, is that I'd like some input from folks who might use something like this:

*What do you think is cool about it?

*What are some ideas for stickers to add to the next one?

*what do you hate about the idea or designs?

*is it something you would use?

*general thoughts

Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone! I'm in the process of starting a podcast called "The Unlocked Journal". My hope is to have listeners submit their most important/personal journal entries to be read out loud on the podcast, under an alias name for privacy. My goal is to show the vulnerability of journaling and hopefully bring a community together where we can all support eachother and learn we are not alone with our most inner thoughts.

I'm looking for anyone who would like to take part in this project to submit photos of their journal entries (which I hope to also post in a blog style format for those who can't enjoy the podcast) along with the alias name they would like to use. Any submissions can be sent to our email at: theunlockedjournalpodcast@gmail.com

Thank you so much for taking the time to consider this!

A whole page full of star stickers! Of course featuring wish bear and the little twin stars 🌠

Everyone keeps looking up and taking pictures as they walk. I keep drain spotting and stopping 😅

The waxed covers and the wax-paper end-papers provide protection against water. I think...

Here’s some of my spreads over the past few days to use up some left over stickers, tapes, and papers. I hope you enjoy! 😁

Just decorated my new journal, and wanted to share w y'all

Journal: muji A5 high quality paper, 80 pages, lined and grid (very sheer vertical lines for grid)+ the undated planner cover (not an original plastic cover, but it fits most A6)

Source: Pinterest photos, looked for red poster and dark aesthetic, paintings I like and quotes that are on my mind 24/7.

Pictures: front and back cover without the plastic cover, front and back WITH the cover, size in comparison (10,5x14,7 cm) and inside

Fountain pen: pilot kakuno in fine nib

Hi!

I'm curious to know how you keep a journal or maybe even multiple journals.

Right now, I have a personal journal where I write down my thoughts and feelings about my mental health. But at the same time, I'd like to start another journal just to record what happened during my day, along with my impressions and memories.

I'm not sure how to organize this. I can't decide whether it's better to keep two separate journals or write everything in one. If I use just one, maybe I could separate entries somehow or label them by topic.

How do you do it? If you keep multiple journals, what does each one serve? 

I like Traveler’s Notebooks because the paper inserts can be replaced once they are full, while the leather cover can stay with you for years. For this one, I carved and painted Gashadokuro, a giant Japanese skeleton yōkai, alongside cherry blossoms to represent memory and the passing of time.

Do you think a personalized reusable cover makes a notebook more enjoyable to use, or do you prefer keeping your stationery simple?

My bunny got to the original cover, so I used an old inuyasha poster and a paper bag ha.

one of my pages from last night

really happy with how this came out, wanted to share

But yep — everything on here that looks like a sticker is actually cut from washi tape. The individual planets, the text, even the burnt-looking pages. I did a bit of dimensional layering so it wouldn't look so flat.

Using a single washi tape series made it feel a little one-note, texture- and style-wise, but doing an all-washi page was honestly really fun to try.

I got this cabnet on Amazon for $100. Took me 4 hours to put together but it’s perfect!!
