How junk journaling saved me from a creative funk

Over the past few months, the art of junk journaling has taken over my life. A perfect blend of traditional diary writing and scrapbooking, it's become the ideal way to capture my memories and help me get out of a creative funk.

I've always found an empty page quite intimidating, but the messy, candid and imperfect style of junk journalling soon fixed that. While a couple of pens and a glue stick will suffice, for me, the real joy comes from customisation, from sticker collages to watercolour flourishes, allowing you the freedom to curate your own unique aesthetic.

To get you inspired on your own junk journaling adventure, I've collected some of the best art supplies on offer this Prime Day, from Posca pens to Moleskine notebooks. Whether you're looking to get stuck into junk journaling or just after some new art supplies to jazz up your pages, now is the perfect time to stock up.
