Table of Contents
This snowman junk journal kit fills every corner of winter with friendly, round-bellied snowmen: in front yards behind picket fences, out on farm fields by the red barn, and gathered on village greens with their scarves and twig arms. The set holds 20 scene pages, 4 seamless background papers and 5 lined writing pages, so you have everything needed to build a full winter diary from cover to last page.
Print on matte cardstock heavy enough to take glue without curling, set your printer to its best or photo quality, and trim close to the edge before you cut and paste. Everything is full colour and already fills the sheet, so there is nothing left to colour in unless you want to add your own touches.
Using these images: free for personal projects such as printing, coloring, cards, journals and gifts. Handmade items that include them may be sold up to 30 pieces per design. More than that is commercial use and is not permitted, and neither is selling or sharing the images themselves or passing them off as your own. Please ask before any other use.
Front Yards And Fences
Settling a snowman into a front yard behind a weathered picket fence gives this page a cosy, lived-in start to the whole kit.
Pair this page with the soft blue tiny-snowmen background a few sheets along: use the background as a pocket lining behind this page, so the little patterned snowmen peek out from the side when the journal opens.
The family group on the village green, with their small snow dog at their feet, makes a lovely spread opener for any page about neighbours or a winter walk into town.
Glue a small torn ticket stub, a pressed sprig of dried grass or a recipe card for hot cider right onto this page, tucked near the broom so it looks collected from an actual farm walk.
Two children in mittens hand up a carrot and a handful of buttons to the snowman they are building, with a sled and a half-rolled snowball nearby.
Village Greens And Gardens
The usual trouble with a page like this is cramming it with too many chickadees until the snowman disappears; keep it to two or three birds and let the birdhouse and twig arm stay the clear centre of the picture.
Try writing the date of your first snow of the season right under this little ornament, the way you might note it on the inside of a cherished decoration box.
A snowman in fuzzy earmuffs watches over a frozen pond, with a pair of ice skates resting on the snowy bank and bare trees ringing the water in the distance.
This one is for anyone who wants a quieter page: a melting snowman in soft spring sun, with the first crocuses poking up through the last patches of snow around his feet, makes a gentle closing note to a winter section before the journal turns toward warmer pages.
Write a short line about the changing season right beside him, or leave the space empty and let the picture do the talking.
Seat a snowman at a small garden table with a teacup and saucer set before him, steam curling up, for a whimsical five-minute version: skip the full background wash and just add a quick blue sky behind the table.
A tiny snowman perches on a porch railing beside a glowing lantern and a pine wreath, small enough to feel like a decoration rather than a full figure.
Woodland And Farm Fields
A curious deer leans in to nibble the carrot nose right off a snowman standing alone in an open meadow, its twig arms spread wide as if in surprise.
Tuck a handwritten sugar cookie recipe into the corner of this page, right beside the cooling rack, so the page doubles as both a picture and a keepsake recipe card.
Wrapped in a pink scarf, this snowman leans against the running board of a vintage blue truck loaded with a small pine tree in its bed, parked on a snowy farm lane.
A snowman wearing a wreath like a necklace stands among rows of young pines at a Christmas tree farm, a saw and a sled for hauling trees left nearby in the snow.
Picture this page glued in right after the frozen pond scene earlier in the kit: the two share the same hush of still water and bare trees, and placing them on facing pages lets the eye travel naturally from skates to fishing hole across the spread.
Gardens And Cottages
Two snowmen stand close together holding a small heart made of twigs between them, in a quiet snowy garden that feels made for a Valentine or anniversary entry.
A snowman stands beside the warm glowing windows of a cottage at soft pastel dusk, the kind of quiet blue-and-gold hour worth pairing with a short evening journal entry about the day just ending.
A row of small snowman figurines lines a mantel alongside lit candles and a length of pine garland, the whole scene meant to feel collected over many winters rather than bought all at once.
The usual mistake with a sled page is making the dog look alert and busy; let it curl up asleep at the snowman’s base instead, and the whole page settles into something quieter and warmer.
A bright cardinal perches on the brim of a snowman’s top hat while snow falls steadily around them both, closing the scene pages on a small, bright, hopeful note.
Background Papers
Use this soft blue pattern of tiny scarved snowmen under photos from a snow day, as a pocket lining behind a scene page, or wrapped around a plain cover for the whole journal.
Scatter carrot noses and little coal buttons across this cream paper and use it as a pocket lining, a title page backing, or cut into strips for a border around other pages.
This blush pink pattern of small round snowman faces and scattered snowflakes works well as a cover wrap, a pocket lining, or backing for a photo of a snowy day out.
Little top hats and knitted scarves repeat across this sage paper, handy under a photo mat, inside a pocket page, or as the lining for a handmade envelope.
Lined Writing Pages
Use the delicate scarf corner on this page for a gift list, a short letter to next winter’s self, or a note about the first snowfall of the season.
Jot a hot cocoa recipe, a short poem about snow, or a simple packing list for a winter trip along the lines above this row of tiny snowmen.
The top hat and twig arm frame around these lines suits a letter to a far-away friend, a short memory from a snowy walk, or a menu for a winter supper.
Use the striped scarf border down one side for a short gift list, a few lines about the day’s weather, or a quick note tucked in for someone to find later.
A small snowman family stands along a snowy hill across the top of this page, a nice spot for a family letter, a holiday wish list, or a short note about the year ahead.
What to Do Next
Print the set, sort the scenes into little sections as you like, and start gluing: a snowman journal like this pairs naturally with the wider winter junk journal pages or a Christmas junk journal set if you want to keep the cosy season going past the first snowman.
Frequently Asked Questions
What paper works best for a snowman junk journal kit?
Matte cardstock around 65 to 110 lb works best, since it holds glue and ink without curling or showing through. Plain printer paper feels flimsy once folded and glued into a journal.
What printer settings give the clearest pages?
Set the printer to its best or photo quality setting with the paper type matched to cardstock, so the fine ink outlines and soft watercolour tones print crisp rather than washed out or streaky.
What size should I print the pages?
Standard letter or A4 size suits most journals, since the pages are already filled edge to edge. Trim a thin margin off after printing for a cleaner, more finished edge once glued in.
Do I need to colour or glue anything onto these pages?
No colouring is needed, since every page already prints in full colour. A glue stick is enough to add them to journal covers, folded signatures or pocket pages.
How do I use the background and lined pages together?
Use the background papers as pocket linings, cover wraps or photo mats, then follow them with the lined pages for actual diary writing, gift lists or short letters to keep the whole kit working as one journal.
