Welcome, I’m Linda.

I love crafting nature-inspired junk journals, as well as art junk journals suited for mixed media and paper collages, making jewelry art, and upcycled decor.

Crafters Journal is a creative diary for exploring nature-themed arts and crafts, including junk journals, art journals, jewelry art, and upcycled decor inspired by the beauty of the natural world.

Here, you can discover nature-themed crafts with vibrant and natural colors, lovely patterned papers, vintage book pages, coffee and tea-dyed paper, and mulberry paper, along with sparkling vintage and costume jewelry, acrylic paint, rub-on transfers, and more. Here are a few creations.
