I create cozy, handmade junk journals and paper ephemera using rescued, recycled, and upcycled materials whenever possible. Each piece is thoughtfully made, one-of-a-kind, and meant to spark creativity, nostalgia, and joy.

Most of my items are crafted from rescued packaging from well-known brands (like macaroni and cheese boxes), giving forgotten materials a second life and keeping them out of the landfill. My ephemera packs are collected from thrifted or found materials that may no longer be useful for their first purpose but will find new life in a journal or collage.

Whether you’re a junk journal lover, a paper artist, or just someone who appreciates unique, tactile treasures, I hope you find something here that makes you smile and inspires your next project.
