Discover the Art of Found Ephemera

📅 June 10–13, 2026
🎥 Online + free to attend
What “Found Ephemera” Really Means
Found ephemera isn’t about having the right supplies.
It’s about learning how to see differently.
In this summit, you’ll explore how to work with:
Papers you’ve saved “just in case”
Vintage scraps, packaging, and odds & ends
Sentimental pieces that feel too special to use
Everyday paper that doesn’t look impressive — yet
You’ll learn how to turn these pieces into pages that feel intentional, layered, and uniquely yours.
What You’ll Learn
Through thoughtful, skill-based sessions, you’ll learn how to:
Recognize the creative potential in found materials
Combine unrelated scraps into cohesive designs
Add depth and interest without over-embellishing
Work around imperfect shapes, sizes, and textures
Trust your instincts when building a page from scratch
These are techniques you can use again and again, no matter what materials you’re working with.
WHO THIS SUMMIT IS FOR
This summit is for you if you:
Save paper because it feels meaningful, but don’t know how to use it
Love the idea of found ephemera but feel unsure where to start
Want your pages to feel more cohesive and intentional
Enjoy learning in a calm, encouraging environment
Want to strengthen your creative confidence
Beginner-friendly.
Judgment-free.
Rooted in real-life making.

Hi, I’m Kristi — creator of Junk Journal Boss.
I believe found ephemera carries stories, texture, and quiet magic — and that learning how to work with it builds both skill and trust in yourself.
This summit was created to help you slow down, notice what you already have, and create with intention instead of pressure.
You don’t need more supplies.
You need permission — and practice.
