Meet Einat, your teacher and instructor!
Hi there! I’m Einat Kessler, fellow crafting fanatic and the teacher, author and project developer behind this eBook.
I’m also a former diplomat (really!), lover of French fries and mushroom and onion pizza, wife to a very patient engineer and mom to two boys.
I created this eBook because I fell completely in love with junk journaling the moment I discovered it, and I wanted to share that feeling with you. There is something magical about turning scraps and found materials into a beautiful, finished book that is entirely your own. I wanted to make the process as clear, as easy, and as joyful as possible, so you can experience that magic too, from the very first page.
So are you ready to Make a junk journal?
Do I need any prior experience to make a junk journal?
Not at all! This is a 101 guide – it starts from the very beginning and walks you through every stage of the process. Even if you’ve never made a junk journal before, you’ll have everything you need to create a beautiful one by the end.
What if I don't have the right materials to make a junk journal?
No problem at all! The eBook includes a printable kit, just print it out and you have all the materials you need to create your first junk journal pages right away. No sourcing, no waiting, no stress.
What format is the eBook in? How do I access it?
The eBook is delivered as a PDF file that you can download immediately after purchase. Use it on your device for easy access to video links, or print it out – whatever works best for your crafting style.
What supplies do I need?
Junk journaling is wonderful because most of what you need is things you already own or can easily find – paper scraps, old book pages, packaging, adhesive, scissors, and basic craft tools. A full guide to materials is included in the eBook, along with tips for finding the best “junk” to use.
How do I access the video tutorials?
Each mini album design in the eBook includes a direct link to its video tutorial. It’s recommended to use the eBook on your device – phone, tablet, or computer, so you can tap the video links quickly while you craft. You can also print the eBook if you prefer to have it on your desk.
Can I print the eBook?
Yes but it’s not recommended. Because you can’t access the links to the video tutorials on a printed version – you can only access them digitally.
What if I have a question while I'm creating?
That’s the best part – you can DM or email me at kessler054@gmail.com and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
