This is one Challenge I will never forget. I did the whole 31 days and this is my first time doing Junk Journal January and I am happy I was able to do all the prompts. It was a beautiful journey. I will never forget it. My journal is super chunky and I am just loving it. Sometimes I did multiple pages for one prompt. I just really enjoyed the journey.
Amazing!! Congrats for making it all the way ✨✨
I was able to finish as well!!! Wish it wasn't ending!!!!
This is awesome!!!! I did my 1st one a year ago and been hooked ever since❤❤❤
@@nicolecalhoun7670 same here!!!
I’ve almost kept up with all the prompts, the first time I’ll have done them all. I’ve enjoyed it so much, thanks Meg. Yesterday was the 31st in Oz and I spoke at a dear friends funeral after she lost her 4 year battle with cancer so I’ve made my last page a reflection on our friendship, thanks for the apt prompt. So many of these have been appropriate for the day in question, probably why I managed to do them all this time❤❤❤❤
I really enjoyed taking part in this event. I'm surprised that I actually managed to journal every day (for the most part). I've learned a lot about the way I want to use my journals going forward and as a bonus I've found new favourite channels to follow. Thank you so much for hosting this. I'm definitely participating in future events xx
I did it all and enjoyed it every day. Thanks a lot. It’s really junkjournaling. And not using all the stuff you can buy. This is much more Creative.
That’s the spirit! Using what we have!
This project has given joy, learning, uplifting fun, and I’m very grateful. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this. I truly enjoyed doing every prompt and delighted with what I have accomplished. So glad I found your channel. TFS. Happy February ❤️🥰🙏
Thank you so much for this challenge, it has really helped me be creative during a difficult month. This is my first time doing one of your challenges and I so appreciated the permission to use the prompts in my own way. Your videos and the other artists’ videos have been such a source of inspiration!
It was wonderful 1st challenge event for me! Thank you so much,Meg 🥰
Thank you Meg for a wonderful collaboration! ✨🎉 I am just finishing up yesterday and today, and can't believe how quickly the month has gone - I have learned so much! This is my first time and I've had lots of fun🥰
Thanks @megjournals, what a ride! I have watched every video and I love your finished journal, thanks for taking us along xx
Thank you for hosting another fantastic Junk Journal January!
C'est ma 1ere fois dans l'art collage et j'ai adoré apprendre grâce à ce défi et grâce à vous et tous ces invités. J'avoue que ça n'a pas toujours été facile vu que je commence mais j'ai adoré et ce n'est que le début d'une longue histoire. J'ai beaucoup appris à vos côtés encore merci 😀❤️
Ahh I can’t believe it’s over! Thank you so much, Meg! Enjoyed watching all of your videos and the collaborator ones too. Thanks for letting me be a part of it ❤
Enjoy every single video all days of the month ..😍👏🏼👏🏼
Can't thank you enough for so much inspiration and introducing me to new artists. Its been my first junk journal and I've done every prompt. Ive always loved showing up even if I haven't always loved my page. I now need a month to tidy up!
Yes, I really enjoyed this challenge... I agree, it's hard to believe that the challenge is already over... it's already February 1rst. It's crazy how fast time goes. I'm looking forward to watching your flip through.... I plan to do one too... I got interrupted while I was working on my "Reflect" page yesterday, So I will finish that today (I hope)... and Then I will finish the extra pages.... and then.... will do the flip through, hopefully it won't be too long.... Anyway. it was a great challenge.... and the prompts were great! 😃👍🏼 I really enjoyed your videos each day, including this video. 😃👍🏼 You're pages (including this one) are all beautiful and wonderful. 😊👍🏼 My journal got very chunky, too. 😉👍🏼
Thank you Meg for your inspiration, loved all the creativity, I’m still busy but I love all the ideas and inspiration. Thanks again🌺
Meg, you did so awedome this go round. U r such an inspiration and sweet soul! Tfs all ur ideas w us!!! Please make a video showing how u make ur washi tape strips! I'd love to give it a try❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a wonderful month of videos, ideas, and gorgeous photos! Even though I just could not do my journal, that’s not going to stop me from watching the videos and enjoying the comradie among the artists here so much joy and talent coming together for a whole month! I love it! Thank you so so much, Meg for hosting this! I am looking forward to seeing the flip through of your precious journal. Hugs, treen 💕💕💕
So glad you enjoyed it and thanks for all your kind comments x
I didn’t do any journaling, but I did watch a lot of the junk journal January content and learnt a lot about junk journaling. I made my own junk journal and I will use it this year. It has been a fun time and I will miss the daily content.
My third year of doing this Meg and yet another great way to start the year. Thank you so much for your time and inspiration and for bringing together such an amazing community. So sad it's over. Roll on Junk Journal July x x x
I didn't participate, but I enjoyed watching those who did. Job well done 👍 I know you all had fun. I know I did watching you creating wonderful junk journals. 😍👍 Thank you for sharing 😊
Great fun, thank you to all ....Tried new things and learnt new things.
Thank you for a great month of Junk Journaling. I haven't posted anything i have done. I enjoyed it all and learnt some things on the way.😊
I did all 31 days and loved every minute of it. I had tried July and stopped in the middle so I was determined to finish it all. Thank you Meg, Get Messy, and all the artist it was so much fun and learned so much!!!!
Thank you so much Meg. It was a wonderful month of learning and playing. Still two pages to finish, but so glad I joined in. I hadn't seen your channel before, so glad I found it. :)
Thank you so much Meg! My favorite challanges were the book/library which I'm including in future journals (audio book fan here too! and the interactive. My birthday was on the 19th (interactive) and I cut up all my birthday cards to fit and they all opened, had pull tabs or pockets. I've already made another journal to start February!
Thank you for a month of challenges and inspiration. Your journal is awesome.
What a great challenge! I had so much fun! I enjoyed creating each page and loved how they turned out! This is my favorite journal to date! Thank you for putting these challenges together and I look forward to July!
Merci Meg. it has been a real blast and I did all the 31 days!!! The prompts were really good for me and very stimulating to create! Merci!😀
I did as you suggested in the beginning and made a kit of items I would use. That box of goodies made it so easy to start creating as soon as I had a break in my day. It took all the dread out of trying to think of something for the prompt!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, experience and time. Job well done!
Thank you for doing this. I had a wonderful month seeing great creations and meeting creative people from all over.
Glad to hear it! ☺️
Thank you so much for organizing junk journal January as a newbie scrapbooker/ junk journal person I learned so much from everyone that I’m using the junk journal July from last year to learn more I wish you did this every month so much fun
Thanks for an interesting challenge. This was my first time joining in and I am happy to say that I finished the whole month. I wanted to push myself a little bit and to try to use some crafting items that I tend to overlook and that is what I did. Love the look of my completed journal which is all nice and chunky.
Thanks for all you do for this, I didn’t post any of my pages but I had a great time doing all the days and following along with the daily videos
Thank you so much Meg for putting this challenge together - I’m nearly finished - doing Day 30 this evening and so pleased with myself to have played along. Thanks again
So pleased you enjoyed it!
Thank you Meg for this beautiful challenge. It was a beautiful journey ❤

Thank you so much for all your work putting this together, and for all of your videos. You make it so easy and fun to participate! This is my first YT/IG challenge of any kind.

This was my first jj challenge…watched all your videos, loved your many ideas. Posted some of my pages on Instagram. Will definitely do this again!
I really enjoyed this Junk Journal January 2024 challenge. I was truly challenged by the prompts and I learned so much during this month’s challenge. Truly inspirational. I tried different things like using fabric and cardboard in my creations.
Oooh yes fabric was a fun one wasn’t it!
Thank you so much. I look forward to the July challenge
Thank you Meg! This was really fun.
Loved this challenge. Sorry to see it end
Enjoyed this year’s challenge very much (still have two days to finish up)!

Yay so glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
My 1st time participating in this challenge. It was a blast. Thanks for part in bringing this together.
Thanks for joining in! 🥰
Thank you ❤
Your journal turned out lovely. I'm behind on mine, day 19. But, I still plan on finishing it. Also want to add more pics to my Instagram. Thank you for this challenge. ☺♥
19 is amazing!! So pleased you’ve been enjoying it ☺️
Thank you, this is my first one of your challenges. Pushed me so many times ☺♥
Thank you!!
💜💜💜
I am enjoying this so much. I am behind, I was not able to start January 1. I will continue till I finish all the prompts for January, but I’m sad cause I don’t have prompts for after. Apparently I work better with prompts. Thanks!
I am so sad to say that I was not able to participate this year. I always look forward so much to these challenges. However I have had physical problems that have kept me out of my craft room. I am praying I will be good enough to do the one in July
Hope you’re feeling better soon 💜
Loved the challenge. Did the whole 31 challenges and finished on time. Learnt so much. Unfortunately I couldn’t access the other lessons, could be due to living in the southern hemisphere, or just my technical ability.😂
