What is a junk journal?

A junk journal is a creative and eclectic type of scrapbook that combines various materials such as old papers, magazine clippings, fabric, and other found objects. It's often used for personal expression, art, and storytelling, allowing individuals to repurpose items that might otherwise be discarded. Junk journals can serve as a place for writing, drawing, or collaging, and are typically characterized by their whimsical and unstructured nature. They encourage creativity and resourcefulness, making each journal unique to its creator.
