Create Junk Journals With Marylou

I may be looking for one more creative person to work with my Paper Dolls by Marylou collection. ✂️

I’m not looking for someone to simply add a paper doll to a project. I’m looking for someone who understands that these dolls are little characters with stories, wardrobes, places to go, and worlds to live in.

Someone who would enjoy showcasing the dolls, dressing them, creating scenes for them, building storage, making journal pages, and finding their own imaginative way to bring them to life.

You do not need to create the way I do. In fact, I would love to see a different creative interpretation. But the Paper Dolls need to be the focus of the projects.

This could be shared on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, or another visual platform.

If this sounds like you, please message me.

💕 Community Spotlight! 💕

One of the greatest joys of creating these paper dolls is seeing how they come to life on someone else’s craft table.

Becky Anne shared this beautiful La Lavande et Le Café spread, and I absolutely love all the vintage details and soft lavender touches she added. 🌿💜

Thank you, Becky Anne, for allowing me to share your beautiful work and for being such a wonderful part of our little paper doll community. 🥰

Seeing these creations living beyond my craft table brings me so much joy.

❤️ Shared with permission.

Friday night we’re leaving modern times behind and taking a trip to the French Rococo Court!

Join me live as we create a junk journal spread featuring one of my 18th Century Court Paper Dolls. Expect plenty of lace, layers, vintage-inspired details, and a little bit of creative chaos along the way.

🕖 Friday at 7:00 PM Central

Bring your journal, your favourite supplies, or simply a cup of tea and craft along with us.

Will you choose Marie Antoinette levels of elegance… or a little more grunge? 😊

See you Friday night!

Create Junk Journals With Marylou

One year ago this week, I uploaded my very first YouTube video.

I remember recording this. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I didn’t know how to edit a video, how to properly upload it, or even what I was really starting.


I just jumped in with both feet… apparently straight into a 100 day project.

I had no idea what I had gotten myself into.


And yes… this was the very beginning.

Amazing how much difference a year makes. 💛

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this first year.

Create Junk Journals With Marylou

Powdered wigs, silk gowns, towering panniers, and all the drama of the French court… 👑

This week I stepped into the world of 18th century fashion and created a brand new collection of Rococo-inspired Paper Dolls influenced by the extravagant styles of Marie Antoinette and the women of Versailles.

These sets include:
✨ Layered undergarments
✨ Wide panniers & petticoats
✨ Ornate gowns
✨ Shoes
✨ Feathered court headpieces

Everything was designed to mix, match, and layer just like historical court fashion.

NEW VIDEO ✨

I may have gone a little overboard turning paper into “metal” again… 😅

Today’s project has vintage hardware vibes, interactive details and one of my favourite kinds of junk journal magic — making ordinary supplies look like something completely different.

And yes… that lock, hinge and key are handmade.
