Must-haves
If you're trying to build your junk journal kit, here are the must have items.

Scrap Paper
Add a POP of white ink to images, dark pages, and more!

This is the BEST glue stick I have tried.
Elmer's Craft Bond Extra Strength Glue Stick
Took my spreads to the NEXT LEVEL - everything is evenly cut every time!

An incredible starter pack for your journal - dual tip, twice the possibilities!
Flair Dual-Tip Pens - 8 Piece Set
Thought these would be crap but OMG was I wrong. They write on PHOTO PAPER, people!!!

Invest once, cry never.
White & Sage Fiskar Scissors
You think you don't need it…. you do.
Westcott Graph Ruler
You MUST get a journal with a strap to keep it shut once it gets thicker due to spreads!
