The Journalverse Diaries - Ephemera Dreams
When I talk about collecting scraps, ticket stubs, ribbons, old notes, and “junk,” I’m not just gathering paper. I’m gathering soul food. Evidence of moments that mattered, fragments of dreams I refuse to let slip away.
Some people see clutter.
I see possibility.
Just like a baker falls in love with the way flour transforms into bread, or like a producer layering beats until it feels like church, I fall in love with every scrap that enters my hands. That’s the Journalverse, baby. A place where glue bottles, stickers, scissors, and journals aren’t just tools—they’re portals. Portals to healing, to joy, to becoming.
And let’s keep it real—when I journal, I’m hearing 90s R&B runs in my spirit. SWV harmonies over pages. TLC telling me to “creep” with a glue stick and glitter at 3 AM. Aaliyah whispering that journaling is “one in a million.”
🖤 That’s the vibe. That’s the high. That’s why we don’t quit creating.

🎀 Why Ephemera Vibes Exists
I created Ephemera Vibes for my junk journal lovers, trinket babes, doll collectors, arts-and-crafts ass bihcxs, planner babes and DIY queens who deserve a soft, sacred place to create without apology. This is your permission slip to be messy, to be bold, to make “ugly” art that feels so good it shines.
Supporting Ephemera Vibes doesn’t just bring journals to life—it brings the Journalverse alive. It keeps this world growing for dreamers, collectors, and every single artist who refuses to give up when life tells them to.
✨ One page at a time.
✨ One scrap at a time.
✨ One dream at a time.

💎 5 Junk Journal Gems You Need to Know
1. Ugly Pages are Sacred Pages. Stop trying to be perfect. Your “ugly” spread is where your truest magic lives.
2. Scraps > Expensive Supplies. That ticket stub, that candy wrapper, that ribbon from your cousin’s birthday? That’s gold. Don’t underestimate your scraps.
3. Layer Like You Mean It. Collaging is like cooking—season generously. A page ain’t done until it feels like a meal.
4. Write, Even if It’s One Word. Your journal isn’t just for pretty paper. It’s for YOU. A single messy word is more powerful than silence.
5. Romance Your Tools. Scissors, glue, stickers—they’re your lovers in this process. Treat them with care, and they’ll always give back.
