Are we REALLY junk journaling? A deep dive into craft trends & consumerism

Today’s episode is a bit of a hot topic in the journaling world… with junk journaling having her It Girl moment in 2025, what does this mean for a hobby rooted in rebellion and sustainability?

We chat about junk journaling supplies, how different trends and styles have evolved over the years, and our approach to documenting. We also discuss consumerism in the craft space and Meg flips through one of her first handmade journals!

Disclaimer: We are absolutely not here as 'journal police', your journal is yours! With the sudden rise in popularity of junk journaling, branded as a 'TikTok trend', we thought it would be an interesting discussion to chat about journaling trends over the years, including creative journaling, art journaling and scrapbooking.

We hope you enjoy joining us for this crafternoon!
