The crisp morning air carries a hint of warmth, the sky feels a little bluer, and all around, the gardens are waking up in a symphony of colour. Spring has officially sprung! And as the world blooms outside, it’s the perfect time to breathe new life into your creative space and journaling practice.
As a paper crafter or junk journaler, your supplies are more than just tools—they’re the inspiration behind every page you create.
But let’s be honest: we all have that stash of supplies we’ve collected for years, waiting for just the right project.
Maybe it’s time to freshen things up and infuse some of that spring energy into your craft.
“Is it time to declutter my creative space?”
I know the feeling—those drawers full of half-used papers, random ephemera, and washi tapes you’ve only ever used once.
You pull them out, thinking they’ll bring you joy, but instead, they remind you of half-finished projects and lost inspiration. You’re not alone!
This spring, I’m inviting you to take a new approach: instead of feeling overwhelmed by your stash, how about curating a fresh palette of supplies that spark joy?
Lean into the vibrant, floral energy of the season and breathe life into your journaling practice with fresh ideas and materials.
Sentiment Inspiration for Spring!
Recently I asked the Turtle Journal Papercrafter Facebook Group Members this question:
"What are some of your favourite spring inspired names or words?"
See if any of these spark some inspiration for you in your next project - use them as you get into the Spring Season :)
All suggestions from group members xo
Floral Inspiration to Fuel Your Creative Spark
Spring is the perfect time to embrace florals—nature’s own journal pages, filled with stories of rebirth and growth. Imagine flipping through your journal, each page a garden of its own, bursting with colourful petals, delicate vines, and soft textures.
Whether you prefer soft pastels or bold, rich hues, there’s something about floral designs that feels timeless and inspiring.
Here is a special Spring Bundle I have for you!

Take Action: Freshen Up Your Crafting Space
Feeling inspired to create and de-clutter to make room for some fresh new things? Here’s how to get started:
- Step 1: Declutter and Refresh: Set aside an afternoon to go through your stash. Let go of materials you haven’t used in over a year—chances are, they’re not sparking joy anymore. Donate or swap supplies with a friend or local crafting group.
- Step 2: Embrace Florals: Dive into your favourite floral designs. Whether you’re drawn to bold, bright blossoms or soft pastel petals, now’s the time to fill your creative toolkit with new supplies that reflect the beauty of spring.
- Step 3: Create with Intention: Instead of hoarding that beautiful new floral paper, use it! Let yourself play, experiment, and create pages that make you smile. Each time you pick up a fresh piece of paper or floral ephemera, remind yourself: this is your time to bloom too.
- Step 4: Use what you are 'saving': We all have those special supplies we feel like we need to 'save' for something special. Can I encourage you that using them - even on something mundane or everyday feels amazing! Like getting out your fancy tea cup and saucer each morning instead of looking at it on a shelf.
