November Junk Journal Ideas & Inspiration

November is here, and it’s time to infuse your scrapbook or journal layout with the warm and inviting vibes of autumn. As the leaves change and the air gets crisper, we’ve got a list of activities to inspire your next crafting masterpiece. Let’s dive into a month of cozy fun and crafty adventures that will give you sooo many ideas for your November layouts.

1. Leaf Pile Jumping or pictures: What better way to kick off your November junk journal layout than by leaping into or taking pictures of piles of colorful autumn leaves? Toss them into the air or bury your favorite subject in them. These vibrant, earthy hues are our absolute favorite, and they are so good to translate that into your scrapbook, journal or painting. Don’t want to use pictures in your layout? No worries, look through your mail. During this time of year you will find so many fall images to cultivate and curate into your mix media crafts.

2. Thanksgiving aesthetic: Thanksgiving is a treasure trove of creative opportunities. You can use Thanksgiving cards or placecards in your junk journal layout. Take pictures of an amazingly festive Thanksgiving dinner table setting and incorporate that into a scrapbook page. Or the idea of watching football on TV after you feast! So many things to be inspired with from the Thanksgiving festivities. It can also inspire an overall theme of gratitude, family and togetherness.

3. Nature Walks: Step outside and embrace the crisp air with a nature walk. Fill your journal with the stunning fall foliage and the crunch of leaves beneath your feet. Not just pictures, but you can look for and gather bits of ephemera to put in your junk journal layout – much like the monsters do! Or, you can let this inspire you to create a page based on the beauty of the season and its natural artistry. You can’t beat the richness of the colors during the fall.

4. Pumpkin Patch Visit: Pumpkins aren’t just for carving. Visiting a pumpkin patch can be a completely inspiring for decor, recipes, aesthetic pictures or even as the subject of your crafting projects. You will find lots of pictures of this type of aesthetic in grocery store magazines that you can incorporate into your junk journal layout for the perfect autumn aesthetic.

5. Baking Treats: Baking is a delightful way to celebrate November! The weather can be cool but it will be warm and cozy and smell oh so good in your kitchen if you are doing some autumn baking. Pumpkin pie, apple crisp, or cinnamon rolls, the aroma and flavors of the season are unbeatable. A scrapbook layout idea would be to include your favorite recipes and the stories that come with them in your junk journal. Another idea is to feature stickers of these delicious deserts within a coffee theme. Yummy!

6. Bonfires: The warmth of a bonfire on a chilly autumn night is one of the best things EVER! Roasting marshmallows, telling stories, and enjoying the company of friends make for memorable moments. This is amazing creative inspiration for a paper craft reflecting these cozy nights. Using pictures or stickers, this can be the center of your junk journal page theme or scrapbook page.

7. Harvest Festival: Local harvest festivals are a goldmine of inspiration. Capture the vibrant foods, crafts, and entertainment in your journal. Candy apples, toffee and butterscotch are all fall foods that immediately capture a cozy autumn aesthetic. The colors, tastes, and sounds of these events can transform your junk journal into a fall extravaganza. Use a cozy girl sticker with this type of aesthetic to create a gorgeous journal layout, scrapbook page, or mixed media page.

8. Seasonal Reading: This one is near and dear to us! Book lovers unite! As the days get shorter, find a cozy nook for reading. Your November junk journal layout can feature a reading list, reviews, or the quotes that resonate with you during the season. It’s the perfect time to explore classic or new autumn-themed books and novels.

9. Indoor Board Games: Chilly November days are perfect for indoor board games. Whether you’re a puzzle enthusiast or a strategy master, your journal can be a scoreboard, a canvas for game night memories, and a testament to friendly competition.

10. Visit a Winery: Experience wine tasting at a local winery to savor autumn flavors. Your junk journal can be a wine tour diary, filled with notes on your favorite vintages, picturesque vineyard scenes, and the delightful company you shared.
