    Junk journal wellcome! Thank you for this idea. I too look those videos and find them inspiring. I especially like the idea of using things which come to my house and are normally trash. Normally the junk journal community is a little bit too messy and too vintagy for my taste. Your combination with nature journaling is the perfect fit and looks great. I love it. Please do more. For example I have lots and lots of playing card like cards from escape room plays. And I don't like to throw them away. They should be used because they are sturdy and all the same size. But how?

    Thanks for watching! Adding recycled materials into a nature journal seems like a perfect fit. Your playing cards could be perfect for pockets or attaching dried flowers or plant materials to… maybe paint them first with a white gesso for the background. Sounds like a fun time to experiment with them😊 Thanks again!

    Wonderful idea! I have lots of pressed flowers & leaves so this display card would be perfect alongside a sketch. Thanks for this idea!

    Sounds perfect! I love the idea of being able to see the pressed plants against the light…gives a totally different perspective. Thanks for watching 😊

    This is a wonderful idea and so helpful for those of us who love nature, who love chronicling nature but who aren’t great artists (yet)! Adding natural materials adds so much beauty to the page. Thank you!
