✂️ The Blank Page Struggle Is Real
You bought the washi tape. You saved receipts from your favorite smoke sesh. Maybe you even have a little stash of stickers waiting in a drawer. But when it’s time to actually start a junk journal? Cue the panic stare at a blank page.
I get it—starting something creative can feel intimidating, especially if you think you have to do it “right.” But here’s the secret: there’s no wrong way to junk journal.
This is your space. Your mess. Your moment.
And I'm going to show you how to get started—no pressure, no perfection required.
💨 Step 1: Shift Your Mindset
Junk journaling is about documenting your life, not creating a Pinterest masterpiece.
It can be:
✅ A collage of candy wrappers and to-do lists
✅ A scribbled love note to yourself while high
✅ Stash packaging turned memory page
Don't overthink it. You're not trying to impress anyone - you’re just capturing the vibe.
📦 Step 2: Gather Your “Junk”
Here’s what I recommend starting with:
-
Envelopes, receipts, candy packaging
-
Dispensary bags or pre-roll labels
-
Scrap paper, stickers, stamps
-
Random stuff in your junk drawer (seriously)
- Magazines, Junk Mail and Grocery Cataog Clippings
✨ Bonus: My Gifted, Lifted & Thrifted subscription gives you 15 curated sheets of paper, 12 stickers, and 1 roll of washi tape every month for just $15 or subscribe and save 20% Off!

📒 Step 3: Pick a Page & Just Start
Choose one page, any page, and glue something down. Maybe it’s your receipt from your favorite dispensary. Or a photo. Or a scrap from your last high-dea scribble.
Then write a little blurb:
“This was the day I tried the watermelon sativa. 10/10 for creativity, 2/10 for taste…”
That’s it. You started.
✍️ Step 4: Use a Prompt (Optional but Helpful)
If you’re still stuck, try one of these KushKards journal prompts:
-
What’s something that made you laugh uncontrollably while high?
-
What’s in your stash today?
-
What is your favorite place to sesh?
Then journal about it with your scraps, junk or the things included in our Monthly Scrap Stationery Kit. Let the page be as simple or chaotic as you want. There are no rules.
🎨 Step 5: Keep Going (Stoned or Not)
The more you play, the more you’ll find your groove. Some people like themes. Some people layer like crazy. Some keep it minimalist.
You just need to keep going.
Your journal will become a timeline of vibes, highs, art, and little things you would’ve forgotten otherwise.
