Tame the Chaos: How I Organize My Paper Scraps for Journals

Are your paper scraps piling up? Before you decide to just toss them in the trash and start over, please watch this video! As part of Cara Brandon’s #declutterorganize2025 Collaboration, I’m sharing my 3-part DIY system for organizing paper scraps and larger cut-offs for junk journaling! Using recycled and decorated cardboard trays and a large tote, I’ve created an efficient and visually inspiring setup that helps me easily find what I need at every stage of the journal-making process. Plus, I’ll show you how I use these scraps in a project, and you’ll get a peek at some finished journal pieces

I’ll take you through how I organize:
• Large designer paper scraps in a tote for big projects.
• Random scraps in nested trays sorted by size and style.
• Smaller scraps and bits in a six-tray system designed specifically for creating journal elements like pockets, tags, clusters, and more!

Whether you’re new to junk journaling or looking to improve your organization, this video is packed with practical tips to help you tame the chaos and stay inspired.
