'tis the most exciting time of the year! DEPHEMEREMBER!
Join us on a fun journey of making ephemera for our junk journals!
This year, we're celebrating 5 YEARS OF DEPHEMEREMBER! Whoop whooop!
NEVER HEARD ABOUT DEPHEMEREMBER?
So, what is Dephemerember?
DEPHEMEREMBER - YOUR EPHEMERA INSPIRATION IN DECEMBER!
Dephemerember is a creative challenge in December, focusing on making ephemera for junk journals. That's also where the strange name "Dephemerember" comes from: it's a coined term from "December" and "ephemera".
This series is a collaboration with the wonderful Barbara @49dragonflies! From December 1st to December 31st, 2025, we'll be showing you new ephemera ideas for your junk journal and this year, we'll be focussing on COMPARTMENTAL MAKING!
Additionally, we have hidden plenty of freebies and goodies in our videos! And there's also a giveaway!
We're excited to see your DEPHEMEREMBER CREATIONS on social media!
Please use #DEPHEMEREMBER in your post or YouTube video description, so we can all inspire each other with amazing ephemera ideas!
THIS YEAR'S THEME: COMPARTMENTAL MAKING
In 2025, we’re switching things up! Instead of creating a journal, we’ll be making components — the smaller building blocks of ephemera.
Whether you have just a few minutes or an entire afternoon, you can join in:
Short on time? Make the components only.
Feeling inspired? Turn them into finished pieces!
Not feeling a prompt? Save your components and use them later!
No matter how you participate, you’ll end up with beautiful bits ready to use in future journals.
SNACKS'N"STASH GIVEAWAY!
This year, we are introducing something new — SNACKS'N'STASH!
We each sent the other a box filled with 50 ephemera components and 3 snacks, and we’ll be using them throughout the month (and tasting the snacks whenever we need an energy boost).
At the end of December, we’ll both refill our stashes and draw a lucky winner who will receive a mix of components from both of us!
FREEBIE FOR YOU!
We’ve created a special SNACKS'N'STASH label printable as a freebie for you — the same labels you’ll see on our packages in the videos!
You can download it below along with everything else related to this year’s challenge.

YOUR HOSTS!
Barbara and I first connected a few years ago through social media, and what began as an online friendship has blossomed into something truly special. We’ve since had the joy of visiting each other in person and collaborating on a variety of junk journal projects—Dephemerember being our favorite! Over time, we’ve become not
just partners in creativity but also dear friends. In fact, we like to call ourselves junk journal “sistas,” bonded by our shared passion for junk journaling and creativity.
