Just Add Junk - by Megan Roy (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A modern junk journal that transforms everyday scraps into art--no rules, no perfection, just creative play.

Just Add Junk reimagines the traditional junk journal as a vibrant, design-driven space for creative exploration. Illustrator and designer Megan Roy invites readers to cut, paste, and collage their way through playful prompts and colorful spreads using what they already have--ticket stubs, packaging, notes, and other bits of life.

The book includes 6 sticker pages, 6 perforated cardstock pages of collage fodder drawn by Megan, and a simple envelope for collecting ephemera. With its bold graphics and light creative guidance, Just Add Junk makes junk journaling accessible, modern, and endlessly fun for beginners and experienced makers alike.
