I totally agree with you that an accordion journal is so much easier to start in. If I make a regular journal I will rip and glue parts of book pages, etc just to get something down on the pages It works!
Hi Steph, I have never seen a journal base created like this. I just LOVE how it turned out. You are correct, the pages have so much interest. For someone who is unwell, you have created an amazing collection of items which will be brilliant in your journal. While I have been watching JJ videos for about three years now, I have yet to make an actual journal! I have only made some small folios and ephemera pieces. You have really inspired to give this method a try! I just love the collaged pages. Also, as a journal cover, I just LOVE the plain book cover. The colour and texture are fabulous, IMHO. I hope you feel much better soon and thanks so much for sharing. 😊🦘🐨🇦🇺
Oh thank you so much! It is hard to get going with junk journals because there is so much content out there which is why I like to keep it simple. I hope you will give this a go x
I wasn't going to watch another accordion jj video bot it started and I'm so glad it did. I loved how you ditto it and I want to do one and join your January challenge. I've never done any challenges, swaps or trades as I just watch the videos. You made me excited to try this one and I even turned on my bell for you and it's my only bell. I'm going to sew mine with my new expensive sewing machine using different stitches. I hope it won't hurt the machine as it was my 40th anniversary gift from my husband. I think if I just have it cleaned more often the paper dust won't hurt it. I loved your video. Great job. Get well and inspired for January as you've made me. I'm not into Christmas this year either do to health. Best wishes dear.
Oh I hope you do take part. I have been sewing paper and I’m really cruel to my sewing machine at times but it’s coped fine with my projects, albeit a broken needle or two fairly often. Cleaning it is essential and avoid wet glue. Also you can’t sew through glue gun glue. I hope you enjoy the process and make a journal xxxx
Awesome, thanks for the advice. Im going to rest for a bit but i have everything gathered up to do the book pages while i watch tv tonight. Tomorrow im going to make me some strps and cluster rolls for it also. I might have to watch it again as i forget things real fast. Im actually excited about this challenge for the first time. How many days do you do it and is it live??? Thanks@hilltopviewjournals
Steph your jour al has blown my mind! I was transfixed watching you make this and feel super inspired now to have a go and make one. Brilliant way to assemble the journal and you made it seem effortless and fun! Off to watch part two now 🥰😘. Hugs. Rach xxxxx
I'm glad you're feeling better to be able to do some crafting, I pray you continue to get better each day. I absolutely love the way you made this journal, I don't think I've ever seen it made like this before, such a clever idea, thanks for sharing your inspiration ❤
Me too, I've done one but never finished the last 3 pages but it was a lot of work just to make the book. This looks fun and pretty simple that I might actually finish it for a change of pace.
this is such a versatile way to get all those bits and pieces of paper and fabric into one journal I love it ♡ I'm working in on at the moment and I've title it " Dear Diary"
I agree these types of journals take a little of the stress off because there is already something on the page. Another great thing is you can tip in extra pages or add to the end that is why I don’t put a back cover on until I get to that spot. You may want to do a two paper spread so that messes up your numbers, also I always include my prompts for the days in the journal so that’s another sheet you need to count for. All these things can be solved with tipping in a page, an envelope, glassine bag, just another collages paper. With this type of journal it’s fun!
You're not alone. I abruptly stopped last January & never finished that journal, I've no clue even where it is. Thank you for transparency & a kick-start for me. I have handmade paper from a year and a half ago that will make a great page base. Best wishes for an inspired 2025 JJJ challenge.👏😊
Love this Steph, I have worked out how I can craft in the lounge next to Ed so might make some of those scrapy snippet strips, his mum will think I’m more barmy than she already does 😂
I have my cover pieces for my JJJ. I was going to do pamphlet stitch but after watching your tutorial I will do accordion style too. My cover is about the same size which will make it easy to complete each day. Thanks for the extra ideas of sewn strips and snippet rolls to prep ahead of time!❤
Love this, I'm definitely going to give it a try before I'm buried in scrap paper, thanks and I have subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to watching more of your work😊🇨🇦
I love those little stitched thin scraps. I will definitely make some of those! I also really like the accordion style journal since making one for No Sew November. I think that's the way I will go for my January journal as well. I can't wait to see you work on it!
Hello, new subscriber here from Western Australia. Found your channel thru JJ January. Never seen this type of journal before, its a great way to get started and use up your scraps too. Thanks for sharing.
