What is a Summer Junk Journal?
A summer junk journal is a creative way to document your favorite summer memories, ideas, and inspirations. You can use it to:
✔ Collect and collage pressed flowers, tickets, maps, and summer memorabilia
✔ Write reflections, lists, or even doodle sunny day adventures
✔ Use vintage printables to create layered, textured pages
✔ Experiment with mixed media—think watercolor, stamps, and ephemera
The beauty of junk journaling is that there are no rules! It’s all about layering, playing with textures, and making something uniquely yours.

Frequently Asked Questions About Junk Journal Pages
What exactly are junk journal pages?
Junk journal pages are printable backgrounds you glue, fold, or layer into a journal to build a textured, scrapbook-style spread. They give you an instant base — vintage paper, soft florals, sun-faded patterns — so you can skip straight to writing, sketching, or sticking down your summer keepsakes.
What’s included in the free summer junk journal pack?
The free pack has 31+ printable pages built around a summer mood — pressed botanicals, beachcombing finds, picnic ephemera, postcards, tea-stained textures, and soft watercolour florals. Every page is high-resolution and ready to print at home on A4 or US Letter paper.
How do I download the free printable pages?
Pop your email into the form on this post and the download link lands in your inbox a minute or two later. If you don’t see it, check your promotions or spam folder — it sometimes hides there. Add hello@artsydee.com to your contacts so future printables come straight to your main inbox.
What paper should I print these on?
For everyday journaling, 100–120gsm matte printer paper holds up well and takes pens, washi tape, and a light wash of watercolour without buckling. If you want a more antique feel, print on cream or kraft paper. For pages you’ll paint over with watercolour, jump up to 200gsm mixed-media paper.
How do I actually use these pages in my journal?
Print the pages, trim or tear them to size, then glue them straight into a notebook as full backgrounds — or cut them into smaller pieces and layer them with ephemera, photos, ticket stubs, and pressed flowers from your summer. Tea-stain the edges, add a stitched border, or pair two pages as a fold-out spread.
What summer themes work best with these pages?
Anything you want to remember from the season — a beach day with shells and sand journaling, a garden walk pressed between the pages, a road-trip bucket list, a recipe from a picnic, a sketch from a slow morning in the sun. The pages are designed to sit quietly behind your words and photos, not compete with them.
Can I use these pages for commercial projects?
The free pack is for personal use only. If you want to use the pages in junk journals or kits you sell, or in client work, a commercial license is included with The Vault — a £45/month membership that also unlocks the full Artsydee template library.
Where can I get more summer junk journal pages and kits?
Every Tuesday a brand-new 50-page themed junk journal kit drops inside the Artsydee Creation Club — full-colour spreads, ephemera sheets, tags, and covers built around a single mood (cottage gardens, summer picnics, vintage seaside, and more). Members get the kit early plus the whole back-catalogue.
