If you’ve been crafting along with me for a bit, you know we’ve made A LOT of journals but this quarter, we’re doing something a little different.

Q3 2026 is all about building the things that go inside a journal. Tags, pockets, flips, belly bands, tickets…all the little bits that make a journal feel rich and layered and completely yours. Think of it as the Big Book of Junk Journal Ideas fused with a mass make March, and you’ve got the spirit of From Scratch to Stash, the quarter that builds your collection.

Here’s how it works…

Each month this quarter, you’ll receive a new set of reusable templates designed for US letter size paper. Print them on card stock, on decorative paper from your stash, or directly onto one of the over 150 gorgeous free papers that comes with the kit. Cut them out and use them as bases to build on or as part of a page or cover.

Whether you have a special paper pad you’ve been saving or you’re brand new and raiding the recycle bin, there’s a path in for you. And if you have a Brother Scan N Cut, the dark template edges make cutting a breeze.

Along with the monthly templates, the kit includes a catalog of 12×12 seamless digital papers spanning everything from floral and geometric to witchy, faith-based, mermaid, and Christmas. You don’t have to download all 150, just pull what you love and print to size.

I’m kicking it all off with this how-to video on using seamless patterns in Canva, plus a storage project and a whole bunch of makes this month.

By the end of September, you’ll have a real stash to pull from whenever inspiration strikes.

The Q3 kit is completely free through the end of September 2026. Grab it now using the link in the description of the video or scan the QR code in the video to grab it, and keep an eye on your inbox for bonus templates each month. 

This is going to be one of those quarters you come back to again and again. Come make something beautiful with me this quarter.
