I have upgraded my new journal. I was inspired by a few pinterest ideas and this is how it turned out. I am so proud 🦚

Page themes: haunted, vampire, fruit bats 👻🧛🦇

The contrast between rigid machinery and loud, bold color was the whole fun of this one. Cut and layered from old nat geo magazine pages.

I really like how the translucent layer makes the scene feel distant and dreamlike, almost as if the garden exists somewhere between reality and a dream.
I'm curious — when you make a journal spread, do you usually plan the whole composition first, or do you discover the idea as you layer things together?

I saw them in store and like some of the designs but I never saw any pics of them being used online so I don’t know how they hold up or if the paper can hold more than a ballpoint pen.

These have been my favorite. I've been inconsistent. But when I finally sit down and take the time, I always ask myself why I dont make the time to do this everyday.

Where do people get their journals? I just buy mine at TJ Maxx. But I cant imagine the binding will hold by the time I get half way through this journal. Financial situation = broke college student.

Lemme know if you can spot the theme of each page!

It takes me so-much time to do these I set asaide a day just to do journaling so I can really get into it.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here it is anyways. I'm new to scrapbooking, junk journaling & collage art & I have a few questions regarding all 3 of them (This is a long post. So don't feel the need to answer all of them. Take as long as you like with your answers):

a.) Is it too late to do all of them or either one of them as I'm 22 turning 23F this year & I've never done them in my life like ever. I started doing it around July 2026 & so far, I've made 5-10 pages worth.

b.) Is there any wrong way to do all of them as the way I do them, I print pictures from my computer and paste them on my pages, canvas or cardboard paper & I buy stickers, ribbons, scrap paper, tape etc. to use for my pages, canvas or cardboard paper.

c.) Are there any websites or apps to post my creations as I want to make online friends that have similar interests & backgrounds. Due to my conditions & histories with them/myself, me being bad during my childhood & adolescence to myself and those around me, me wasting my childhood & adolescence to screens & laziness, me getting bullied & being a bully myself, & me being a loner (I'm autistic (level 2-3) & have global developmental delay all physically & mentally), I can't really do anything & have no irl friends.

d.) Similar to the abovementioned (sort of), are there any sites or apps where I can enter them into exhibitions for the world to see my creations or if I want to enter them into competitions. I'm from Australia so if there's anything from my country where I can post or enter in my creations, I would love to know, otherwise feel free to tell me where I can post my creations for the world to see.

e.) This is probably a silly question, but I'm going to say it anyways. Can you do all 3 of them or either one as a job &/or career, or are they just personal hobbies as I still don't know & have no idea what to do with my life in an AI generated world.

f.) Can you do all 3 of them to release any trauma that you've been through &/or have caused as like I said before, due to my disabilities & histories with myself & what I've done, I can't really do anything. I can't draw or paint, but I've discovered years later that I can glue & paste stuff on pages & cardboard paper (something I wished I did during my childhood & adolescence).

g.) Finally, what really is scrapbooking, junk journaling & collage art as I feel like they're all the same thing, but I've looked online & they're either completely different or people think what I think they are. The way I do them all is I just put stickers, scrap paper, printed stuff etc. in books, journals, scrapbook paper or on big or small cardboard paper. I would love to hear some answers with this one.

And those are my questions about scrapbooking, junk journaling & collage art :)
