Your photos are lovely, and the birthday cards are too special to throw away. That little receipt from your favourite cafe reminds you of a day you don't want to forget. And then there are all the bits and pieces that don't really belong in a scrapbook - but somehow matter.
That's where a junk journal comes in.
This one started life as a vintage Little Golden Book, The Tawny Scrawny Lion, and has been given a completely new life as a fun, flexible memory-keeping journal. Think of it as scrapbooking with fewer rules and much more personality.
Write in it, draw, paint, stick things in, add photos, cards, trinkets, receipts or anything else you want to remember.
And because the pages can be removed and rearranged, your journal can grow and change along with your memories.
Junk journalling has become a real creative vibe in Australia, and it's easy to see why. There's no perfect way to do it - just make it yours.
DETAILS:
* Upcycled vintage Little Golden Book: The Tawny Scrawny Lion
* New red and black reinforced fabric spine with decorative trim
* Metal book corners
* 3 removable signatures
* Signature elastic binding lets you add, remove and rearrange pages
* 120 sides in total
* Mix of upcycled papers and new pages (some with trim)
* Plenty of room for writing, drawing, sticking and creating

WHAT CAN YOU PUT IN A JUNK JOURNAL::
Pretty much anything you want to remember.
* Photos and Polaroids
* Birthday and greeting cards
* Concert and movie tickets
* Travel memories
* Receipts from favourite places
* Little notes and letters
* Stickers
* Recipes
* Wrapping paper or pretty scraps
* Doodles and drawings
* Paintings and creative experiments
* Pressed flowers
* Favourite quotes
* Pages and pictures from magazines
* Bits of everyday life that would otherwise end up in the bin
There really are no rules. Your junk journal can be a scrapbook, diary, travel journal, art journal or memory box in book form - or a little bit of all of them.
WHY REMOVABLE PAGES?
The three signatures are held in place with elastic, so you aren't locked into the way the journal arrives.
Want to add more pages? You can.
Want to take some out and work on them separately? You can.
Want to move things around as your journal grows? You can.
It means you can keep adding to your memories instead of eventually running out of room.
PERFECT FOR:
* Memory keeping
* Scrapbooking without all the rules
* Creative journaling
* Travel memories
* Family memories
* Art journaling
* An ode to either a loved one or pet that has passed
* Anyone new to junk journaling
* A thoughtful gift for a creative person
* Lovers of vintage books and upcycled treasures
