Junk Journal January 2024 Prompts from megjournals on Instagram or YouTube
First, I created my junk journal… here’s a peek at a few of the pages.
I absolutely love this digital kit! So vintage, so grungy, with hints of botanical elements and butterflies (you can never go wrong with butterflies!)

Next, because I have never been very good at the follow through of daily prompt challenges (especially month long challenges), I wanted to ensure that I would be well prepared for completion! So I searched my happy place (craft room) to find little bits of treasure (I’m using my stash, not buying anything new) to use in my journal.
I have gathered a variety of items, such as, vintage book pages, coffee dyed papers, postage stamps, vintage map pages, twine, cheesecloth, brown paper bags, index cards, and junk mail envelopes.
I will also have glue, scissors, rubber stamps, distress ink, a ruler, paper punches, and more at the ready on my crafty table.
Digital Supplies for Junk Journal January
I also searched the internet for free junk journal printables. Here’s a list of the fantastical freebies that I found on the world wide web:
- I absolutely fell in love with this Free Vintage Film Photography Ephemera from Rose Clearfield.
- These Quotes & Inspirational Sayings by DreamyMM are fantastic!
- Aren’t these Free Vintage Insect Illustration Collage Sheets from The Art Scavenger terrific?
- Kate Crafts has several fabulous freebies that I added to my stash.
And last but not least, I also printed my Butterfly Stamp Collage Pages.

Remember how I said, “I’m terrible at follow through” when it comes to challenges…well, I am hoping that this lovely little suitcase will help keep me motivated each day. I have already cut out the fussy cuts, pockets, journal cards, journal tags, etc and put them in little baggies to have at the ready. All I have to do now is grab my little suitcase, head to my happy place, and craft away!
So, fellow journaling comrades, gather your supplies, sharpen your pencils, and let the magic of Junk Journal January unfold as we embark on a month-long adventure of creativity and self-expression! May your pages be a reflection of your unique style and the joy of the journaling journey.
Be sure to follow me over on Instagram, that’s where I will be sharing my Junk Journal January adventure.
Happy crafting!
