I am an Art Teacher at a college in New Zealand. Although I have been creating art in multi medias for 20 years, I began Junk Journalling in Nov 23. It has fast become my mindfulness happy place.

My goal is not only to share my art, but to help others do so as well. I have received a lot of kindness in my life at a time I needed it most, this is my way of paying it forward.

Good journals take time. I create my journals one page at a time, and only list them once I feel they're complete. The best place to follow the journey is on my YouTube channel, Sara-Lee Armstrong, where I share a full flip-through and a link to the listing if the journal is available.

Feathers & Foliage

This journal marks an important milestone in my creative journey.

Every journal I create is one of a kind, but this one feels different. She's the first journal where I truly found my own grungy style, and I completely fell in love with her.

I never rushed her, I let her evolve over six months, picking her up only when inspiration struck. Every page, every layer, every stitch and every interactive element was added thoughtfully, allowing the journal to become exactly what I imagined.

At over 120 pages, she's also one of the largest journals I've ever created.

I've honestly had a hard time deciding whether to keep her or let her go. For now...she'll happily stay right here with me. 🥰
