About the Maker
Hello! I’m Beth, and I’m a paper addict. Welcome to my rabbit hole.
I love creating handmade junk journals filled with beautiful papers, interesting textures, vintage touches, and all those little details that make each one feel completely different from the next. What started as a creative hobby quickly turned into a full-blown obsession with paper, fabric, ephemera, old books, and anything else that might find its way into a journal.
Every journal I make is created by hand and has its own personality. Some are romantic, some are whimsical, some are a little quirky, and some feel like they’ve been waiting for their story for years.
Have a look around and see what catches your eye. And if you have any questions, please feel free to email me — I’d love to hear from you.
