This month’s April Pro Club is all about collectibles, and naturally… we turned ours into the cutest look-and-find junk journal spread. Because why just collect stickers when you can turn them into a tiny interactive treasure hunt?

This project is equal parts junk journaling, organizing, and I-Spy nostalgia, and it's especially fun to make with a friend (and then challenge them to find everything 👀).

No rules, no pressure, just tiny collectible chaos in the best way.

Supplies

• April Pro Club Sticker Pack
• Pippy Zine from the pack
• Junk journal (or loose paper)
• Pen or marker (for outlining compartments)
• Scissors
• Glue stick (optional)
• A friend (optional but highly encouraged)

Step 1: Draw Your Tiny Collector Drawers

Start by outlining your spread to look like a drawer full of tiny compartments, we did a practice page in pencil first! Think vintage collector boxes, sticker organizers, or those little craft drawers filled with treasures.

We drew:

• Different sized boxes
• Some tall compartments
• Some tiny squares
• Maybe a few wonky shapes for fun!

The goal is to make it feel like a little cabinet of collectibles.

Pro tip:
Don't overthink it, the more imperfect and playful it looks, the more charming it feels.

Step 2: Create Backgrounds Using the Pippy Zine

Next, we grabbed the Pippy Zine from the pack and started cutting out pieces to use as mini backgrounds for each compartment.

We mixed:

• Patterns
• Colors
• Tiny textures
• Little scraps

Then glued them into each drawer space to make each compartment feel like its own tiny world.

Step 3: Start Categorizing Your Collectibles

Now comes the fun part, placing your stickers.

We started grouping them into their own little compartments:

• Tiny keychains together
• Mini perfume bottles together
• Matching colors together
• Totally random groupings (because junk journaling = no rules)

This is the part where you kind of lose track of time in the best way.

Step 4: Create Your Look-and-Find Key

To turn your spread into a look-and-find, we created a little key on the side of the page.

We added things like:

• the Paris post stamp
• Spot the mini blue pencil
• Find the matching set
  

You can:

• Draw tiny icons
• Use mini stickers
• Write a checklist
• Make it as simple or detailed as you want

Now your spread is officially interactive.

Step 5: Challenge a Friend (Highly Recommended)

This is where it gets extra fun.

Hand your spread to a friend and:

• See if they can find everything
• Race each other
• Add new things for them to find
• Make one for each other

It’s like junk journaling meets I-Spy meets collectible treasure hunt! Happy journaling!
