A Year of Junk Journaling

A creative companion for scrapbookers, memory-keepers, and paper lovers ✂️📓
A Year of Junk Journaling is a year-long invitation to slow down, reflect, and create. Designed as a 52-week guided journey, this book is packed with prompts, ideas, and inspiration to help you fill your junk journal with meaningful memories, textures, and stories—one week at a time.

Using Martina’s simple and flexible COLLECT · REFLECT · CREATE framework, each weekly prompt encourages you to gather materials from everyday life, reflect on memories and emotions, and transform them into expressive journal spreads. Prompts range from nostalgic and personal (my first memory, favorite film, friends) to playful and unexpected (the sea, pasta), keeping your creativity fresh all year long.

Along the way, you’ll discover heaps of original ideas for what to include in your journal—ticket stubs, packaging, photos, handwritten notes—as well as practical tips for brainstorming, sourcing materials, and overcoming creative blocks. Whether you’re new to junk journaling or a seasoned scrapbooker, this book offers gentle structure without limiting your personal style.
