Sometimes the best projects come from the scraps already sitting on our craft tables.
For my project for the Silver & Sparkles June Tiny Journal Challenge, I created a Tiny Journal in a Pocket using leftover papers, vintage-inspired embellishments, and bits and pieces from my stash. This little project is proof that you don’t need a lot of supplies to create something beautiful and functional.

The journal slides neatly into a decorated pocket and unfolds to reveal plenty of space for journaling, notes, favorite quotes, or treasured memories. I added tuck spots, journaling cards, tags, and decorative details to make each page interesting while keeping the construction simple and beginner-friendly.
One of my favorite things about this project is how easy it is to customize. Change the papers, colors, theme, size, or embellishments and you’ll have a completely different journal. It’s a wonderful way to use supplies you already own while creating something unique.

This project is also my contribution to the June Tiny Journal Challenge. If you’d like to participate, create any tiny journal using any theme, size, or binding style and share it using #tinyjournal2026. I’d love to see what you create!
