Who This Is For
This workshop is for you if...
- You love the idea of junk journaling but feel overwhelmed by all the supplies, techniques, and "rules" you see online.
- You want a creative prayer practice that feels tangible, beautiful, and grounding, not just another thing on your to-do list.
- You've tried regular journaling or devotional books but they feel too structured or too blank, and you need something in between.
- You don't think you're "artistic enough" but you're drawn to beautiful things and want a creative outlet that honors God.
- You want to preserve prayers, answered prayers, Scripture, and spiritual moments in a way that feels sacred, not scrapbooky.
Workshop Outline
What we'll cover in 90 minutes together
Part 01
Setting Up Your Sacred Journal
We'll start by choosing your journal base (you don't need anything fancy), preparing your first signature, and understanding the simple structure that makes junk journaling work. You'll leave this section with your foundation ready.
Part 02
Gathering Ephemera That Tells Your Story
I'll show you exactly where to find free vintage papers, what to look for, how to print Scripture and devotional quotes, and how to tea-stain modern paper to give it that aged, sacred feel. No expensive supplies needed.
Part 03
Layering Scripture and Prayer Prompts
This is where your journal comes alive. You'll learn simple layering techniques to add Bible verses, handwritten prayers, floral accents, and devotional prompts without overthinking it. I'll show you exactly what goes where.
Part 04
Creating Prayer Pockets and Hidden Spaces
We'll build pockets, fold-outs, and tuck spots where you can store answered prayers, ongoing prayer lists, Scripture cards, and spiritual milestones. These become your sacred hiding places within the journal.
Part 05
Making This a Creative Prayer Rhythm
Junk journaling works when it becomes part of your regular prayer life, not a one-time craft project. I'll show you how to use this as a weekly or monthly practice that deepens your walk with God and gives you something beautiful to look back on.
โ
I never thought I could make something this beautiful. My prayer journal is now my most treasured possession. Every page reminds me of God's faithfulness, and I actually look forward to spending time in it each week.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
I have never done junk journaling before. Is this for beginners?
Yes. This workshop is designed for complete beginners. I walk you through every step, show you exactly what supplies to use, and explain techniques in simple terms. You don't need prior experience, artistic skill, or fancy materials. Just bring a willing heart and basic supplies you already have at home.
What if I am not artistic or creative?
Junk journaling is not about being artistic. It's about creating sacred space on paper that holds your prayers and faith journey. There is no right or wrong way to do this. Your journal is for you and God, not for anyone else to judge. I'll show you simple techniques that look beautiful without requiring any special skill.
Do I need expensive supplies to get started?
No. You can start with a simple notebook, old book pages, scrap paper, a glue stick, and scissors. I'll show you where to find free printable ephemera and vintage elements online. Junk journaling works best when you use what you already have. Expensive supplies are not required.
What if I cannot make the live workshop?
You will get the full workshop replay immediately after the live session ends. You can watch at your own pace, pause, rewind, and work through the techniques on your own time. The replay stays available so you can reference it whenever you need to.
How is this different from regular journaling or scrapbooking?
Junk journaling is more tactile and layered than regular journaling, but less structured than scrapbooking. It's a creative prayer practice where you combine Scripture, vintage ephemera, handwritten prayers, and devotional prompts into something that feels sacred and personal. It's not about documenting events like scrapbooking. It's about creating a prayer space you can hold in your hands.
Will this actually help my spiritual life or is it just a craft?
This is a creative prayer practice, not just a craft project. When you slow down to layer Scripture, write prayers, and create sacred pages, it becomes a form of meditation and communion with God. Many women find that junk journaling deepens their prayer life because it engages their hands, their creativity, and their heart all at once. It's a tangible way to remember God's faithfulness and hold onto what He's teaching you.
How long will the workshop take?
The live workshop is 90 minutes. You'll have a working junk journal foundation by the end of the session, and you can continue adding to it on your own time. Junk journaling is not a one-and-done project. It's an ongoing practice you can keep coming back to whenever you need creative prayer time.
Your prayers deserve to be held in something beautiful.
Join the Sacred Pages Workshop and learn to create a junk journal that becomes your most treasured prayer companion.
