Hi, I'm Colleen McCarthy
I'm a long time junk journalist who started out as a scrapbooker. I always loved using scrapbooks as a way to showcase photos and memories.
​
Soon I started adding little things I collected along the way. Things like ticket stubs, maps, tags or labels. Before I knew it, I was a full blown junk journalist! My favorite supplies are magazines and catalogs. I love used book stores and thrift shops.
​
But lately it's been getting harder and harder to find the scraps and junky bits that I want to work with. Nobody mails catalogs anymore. And magazines are all online now.
​
One day I thought "What if I just make my own?"
​
It turns out, I love designing and printing my own junk. I'm thrilled to have an endless supply of ephemera in my favorite styles and colors.
​
Now, my computer is overflowing with digital tags, envelopes, fussy cuts and journal pages that I'd like to share with other junk journalists, scrapbookers and crafters.
