Beautiful! If you are gifting it, pockets with gift cards would work.

Maybe I could make a junk journal with stuff or my mom? She recently died on thanksgiving and maybe I could turn old cards into still have from her and stuff from my dad he sent me like the poem he read at her memorial in it as a sort of memorial junk journal?

For me, the great thing about junk journals is that a person can basically do whatever he or she wants to do with them. I learned about JJs from Gayle Agostinelli. As soon as I started making my first booklet, I immediately departed from how Gayle makes her projects. I did not purposefully change things. I just imagined another way to do what I wanted to do. The biggest change I make in my books is I don't journal. I'm not that much inside my head. Instead, I create stories which I write and augment them with graphics. It takes longer but I feel I have more to show for my efforts than if I just wrote about my daily life. For me, the fun is in creating a life rather than recording one.😀

It’s fun to make a little journal like this to break up a more intense large journal making. It gives me “new eyes” on a larger project and often fresh inspiration! Thanks for the reminder Justina. Blessings to you from Ohio.
