Hi, I'm Colleen McCarthy

As a long-time junk journalist, I was sad when catalogs and magazines started disappearing from my mailbox. I decided to put my skills as a graphic designer to good use. I started designing my own junk!

Now I have an endless supply of shabby chic, vintage inspired ephemera. I love sharing my personal library of digital tags, fussy cuts, and journal pages as freebies and printable kits in my shop.
