I have been working on a piece of textile art that was destined to become the cover for a personal art journal project of mine. I was going for a soft, romantic look so that my journal would be calm on the outside and then (as it happens most of the time) an explosion of […]

Wee Art Books
At the end of the month I release a new batch of journals in my shop, and my previous batch was number one that was announced to the subscribers of my Newsletter, because they always get first dibs. If you want to be the first to know when the next batch of yummy journals comes […]
I make Junk Journals | Journal release number 1
One of the things I really love when it comes to paper crafts and making is creating notebooks in different forms. I make all kinds of journals, for myself and for sale. I used to sell via Etsy, but ended my affair with them last year. So this year it is finally time to experiment […]
Junk Journal September | Hello, I’m iHanna
Hello September, my old friend, it’s time we meet again… Well, that is to say I’m doing a month long challenge on Instagram called “junk journal + month name”, so Junk Journal September right now. It’s a word or sentence each day for thirty days, something to inspire you to be creative in a junk […]
Re-using an Unused Calendar
I have started a new project. It is about repurposing an unused and expired planner/ calendar, and giving it new life. It’s the kind of enriching and fun project I love to do because it costs next to nothing (except new glue sticks) and it saves a notebook from going into the trash unusued. I […]
Junk Journal: Room for the soul [Video Process]
![Junk Journal: Room for the soul [Video Process]](https://www.ihanna.nu/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/neonstars.jpg)
Another junk journaling video from me. But… I think it was a bad idea to dedicate one journal for filming every spread of in. It’s totally not the way to fall in love with a journal for me. How to fall in love with a journal is to live with it intensely, to work on […]

Thrifted Books to Cut Up
Sorry to say that my site was down a couple of hours before I could ask support to fix it, due to a server move. I got contacted by a few of you saying you couldn’t reach this or that, but now I think it is alright again. I hope that everything is working as […]
Process Video: Filling pages in a Junk Journal
I have started working in the pretty journal that I showed you in my last video. Yay! Finally, right? This is an Art Journal/Junk Journal that I bound together a few years ago. I will try to “fill it up” before the end of the year, but it might take a bit longer than that. […]
Junk Journal Video: Flip through
Today I want to share a Junk Journal that I bound a while ago, but never started using at the time. Flipping through its pages I think you’ll get a pretty good idea what you yourself could save and include in a mixed paper journal if you want to make one for yourself. So take […]
Thrift Store Haul: Mexican Lotteria Cards & kids a
Thrift is poetic because it is creative; waste is unpoetic because it is waste. G.K. Chesterton It’s been a long time since I shared anything here that I thrifted or bought second hand, right? Too long if you ask me. Thrifting is a big part of being a creative to me. I’ve kept buying stuff […]
Christmas Journaling in a Traveler’s Notebook
I’m filling my December Daily / Christmas journal with stickers, photos and journaling. Here’s an update on what’s on the first couple of pages in my current one. I don’t know what it is about a traveler’s notebook that makes me so very happy, but I’m guessing it has something to do with it’s compactness. […]
