Make a Junk Journal

Here’s a peek into my process of how to make a junk journal, specifically for #junkjournaljanuary this time around. It’s super easy to do!

Make a Junk Journal - video of process by tortagialla.com

This year, I decided to join in with the Instagram challenge #junkjournaljanuary and made this quick journal for this particular challenge. I’ve used a mix of papers from my stash, magazine pages from Flow Magazine and the cover is an old handmade pocket journal from the past.  Check out my process and thoughts in the video below.

If you don’t already know about junk journals, I highly suggest you try it out! It’s an easy and fun way to get creative, but without all the pressure of art journaling that often has drawing or painting associated with it. Technically, you can do anything in your junk journal, but at it’s simplest, you can just collage and mix and match papers and vintage items for a very cool look.

I’m just getting into junk journals lately because I’m short on time and find it super easy and satisfying to create in a junk journal. I’m excited to perhaps create more printables around this style… and if you are looking for the vintage style, check out my free vintage paper printable here and these vintage journaling cards here. They can help to give you a head start in your junk journal creations.

End of 2018 // Art Journalling Review

Art Journalling has been a blessing in disguise this past year. A place to express myself with marks, colors, images and journaling! I decided to take a look back on the many journals I have created. It’s a way to say goodbye to 2018 and welcome 2019 with open arms.

Do you like to art journal? How often do you actually look back at your old journals and flip through? It can be very satisfying to see what you have created, but also helps you to see your growth, your change, over time. I hope you enjoy and thank you for watching!

Are you ready to get organized and fire up your planner game? Download these FREE blank calendar pages that give you structure but also flexibility.

Each of us leads a very different lifestyle, so we have to customize our calendars and planning styles accordingly. A blank slate will give you flexibility, but still start you off with a barebones structure. That’s exactly the kind of thing I like – freedom to do what I want, but some guidance to start with!

Since I love to use printables, I’ve created a couple sets of printable calendars for the next evolution of my planning. I love how digital printables enable me to constantly tweak my planning layouts. I’m always reviewing my planning habits and changing things, so that I can improve my productivity!

This year, I’ve come up with a new set of perpetual blank calendars to cater to my planning needs. They are all Monday start layouts, because I find that it make more sense with my schedule, grouping the weekend together for weekly and monthly views. Otherwise, they are blank so that I can fill in the details as I need and decorate (or not decorate) as I please.

This set of perpetual blank calendar pages includes:

  • DAILY PAGE
    All 24 hours are noted, because I like to visually see the entire day and be able to track things, don’t forget sleep is important!
  • WEEKLY PAGE
    There’s a box for every single day and habit tracker area plus notes list
  • MONTHLY CALENDAR
    Includes enough rows to give each day it’s own box (I dislike squishing two days in one box at the end of the month on other calendar layouts)
  • YEARLY PAGE
    It’s a year-long list format, so you can see the whole year at a glance and list birthdays or track habits. It’s also great for overview planning, blocking off with colored pens and highlighters.
  • This printable set includes both portrait as well as landscape layouts, so download your preference!

You can download ALL these printables for FREE and for personal use only. Yup, I’m offering them up for you in hopes that they might help you get organized and plan for success!

Ways to Wrap Gift Cards + Free Printable Stars Paper

Let me share a few ways to wrap gift cards for last minute gift giving plus free printable star patterned papers that you can print and use instantly!

free printable holiday stars patterned paper + ways to wrap gift card // tortagialla.com

As we get closer to Christmas day, gift cards make it easy to quickly check off your list, especially for hard to shop for friends. Are you are on the last-minute band wagon grabbing gift cards as a last resort? Or perhaps, you actually enjoy giving gift cards, because they allow you to show your gratitude without burdening people with another generic novelty gift item?

Personally, I really love the idea of gift cards if you don’t have a very specific gift in mind for your recipient. It gives THEM the power to choose what they truly would like and eliminates the random knick knacks and junk that ends up cluttering the house.

The problem is how to package up the gift card as an actual pretty gift.

You have to admit that it’s nice to unwrap an actual gift during the holidays. The element of surprise is always a delight. But even just the aesthetics of packaging up a gift, shows that you put effort into it. I think it’s nice to add a special handmade touch to gift card giving, so check out the ideas below for wrapping them up as gifts.

Even though gift cards are easy to pick up at the store and have pretty designs on them already, I still like to put them in a pretty envelope at the least. Or even better, is to package it in a pretty box or container that you can traditionally wrap up. The extra effort of packaging it up really does make the recipient feel special and loved. And for those who are making multiples for teachers or co-workers, it’s definitely a good idea to spruce up the gift cards with a handmade component.

Well, I love paper printables and the easiest way to package up a gift card is to put it in a small box and wrap it up like a traditional gift! Even wrapping up an envelope can be a nice idea, because there’s still that element of presenting a nicely wrapped gift with a ribbon on top.

So I designed a set of simple, elegant, printer-friendly holiday stars papers to share with you. They are easy to print at home, as many copies as you might need for wrapping up small items like gift cards.

Download the 12×12 inch printable PDFs below, in your preferred color and wrap away.
