I enjoy watching these older videos! You, my dear have not changed, you are still a down home southern girl, that enjoys doing what you do!!
Aw thank you 💗
Super job. I especially appreciated you showing us how to keep looking for solutions instead of giving up. 🤗🤗
New here, I subscribed, love junk journaling, alot of neat ideas for your junk journal.
I ❤ this Junk Journal. Its not too long. You shared your struggle with the cover shelf paper and that made me feel so much better when I struggle all the time with things. 🫣🥴😉👍🏻 Thanks for allowing us to see that. The journal was pretty!! ❤❤❤
Aww thank you! 💗
Love to see you finish it!!!!
God bless you and thank you so very much for sharing!!!😊
No rambling at all!! Love your honest videos!😄❤️
I like how detailed your videos are I have already learned a lot. Thanks for being so detail oriented.
Thank you 💗
Good job! Yes I’d love to see you decorate this journal. It’s fun watching you make pockets and tags 🏷
Chrissy, this was so sweet of you to show this video. Considering all the other times you recorded doing the same thing. Thank you for your time. Also, I was so happy when you used the wallpaper and got it straight, that looked hard, but you did it. I also loved you showing everything you purchased from dollar tree and utilizing everything, that’s just awesome. Great video and thank you. 🙏🏻 You rock my dear.
Thank you so much! This dollar tree journal for some reason just did not want to be made. Lol 😂 The wallpaper stuff was pretty difficult but I’m going to keep playing around with it & find easier ways to use it. Lol Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!
So cool! I love how genuine and patient you are. Thank you!
Thank you that’s very sweet! 😁
I love the real time and when problems are encountered makes it real for us! Perfect videos are not the real world! Thank you for not editing these little struggles out of your video!!!!!👏🏻🥰👍🏻
Yes absolutely! We all struggle at times. Thank you for watching! 😊
After having used both contact paper and wallpaper, my suggestion on how to handle getting the paper over the clasp is to mark where you need the hole to be before you take off the backing. Then cut an X at that spot. Then after the contact paper is on the envelope, you can trim back the extra on the X to fit, and if any of the yellow still shows, cover it with a touch of black pen or Sharpe. Hope that helps!
I love your videos and am excited to try one of my own! Thank you for your great videos! I've enjoyed them all!
Thank you! 😁
It will look great!!!❤🎉
Hi I love your cute junk journal. It's great to know you can make mistakes also. I do a lot! Lol, when you put on the contact paper, I love that blank & white paper, you could measure on the back before you stick it on, the distance around where the clasp is mark a X , put a hole in the middle. Take backing off & place it on. Cut into the X to fit it. Then you could put those peel & stick hole covers like for note books in school so in case your paper holes get torn you can put a cover over them & then they look brand new. I'm sure they have them at the $1.00 tree & maybe in different colors! Hope that helps! You're doing great & I like the long videos & I like to watch all the details. I think it's great you show all your boo boos! Lol That makes us human! Thanks for sharing! Can't wait for the next video! ☺️🫂🍁🎃🦇👻🐈⬛
Thanks so much for showing us how to overcome the fear of trying the sticky paper! Sometimes art takes courage, yet perseverance wins.
Yes! Thank you. 😁
Great job. You didn’t ramble. I appreciated the time you spent. Have a blessed day. Thank you.
Thank you! 😁
Love this video. It's real! You show us that things happen and you can work it out..you are an encourager. Thank you! BLESSINGS

You are so sweet and real - really nice to listen to you and very insperational 🥰🤩
Thank you!! 😊 💖
Great video! Thorough and fun!
Thank you! 💗
I'm a new subscriber. Love your junk journals for beginners! I had never heard of these but I'm so excited to make some. No need to apologize for anything, I feel so relaxed and like we have been crafting buddies for ever! I love it! Thank you!❤
Awe that’s sweet 😁 that’s how I hope my videos are for everyone. Thank you 💗
I use those mini glass bottles for tiny message in a bottle and that would be adorable on a junk journal. I haven't made my first journal yet but I'm definitely going to add a mini message in a bottle to my first junk journal 😁
Yes the tiny bottles add such a cute touch to the journals! 😁 Oh you gotta make a journal, they are so fun to express your creative ideas & it gives you a cool feeling looking back through them once you’ve made it. 💗
I love how your nails match the journal cover.
I’m a little bit obsessed with pink & black. Lol 😂
I have been looking to learn how to make a junk journal. I love how you do yours and I do not mind if you have long videos. I love all. I am excited about starting my junk journal. 😊
Thank you! I love when someone is just starting out making junk journals. I kinda live through that excitement all over again. Lol 😁 Making junk journals or the parts to build it is probably the one thing I never get tired of doing. Lol
I get a lot of hate about my long videos or bc I talk to much & I don’t edit any of my videos but that’s the whole reason I even started this channel. You can’t edit & fast forward in real life & this is like my replacement of crafting with a friend. Lol So thank you again! 😁
L
Awesome
this is beautiful, even though I couldn't hear it
I’m so sorry..I’m not sure why the volume isn’t working. I’ll have my daughter check it out for me. Thanks for letting me know! 😊

Don’t feel bad it happen to all of us (just not on video) sorry,we saw you struggle, I had a giggle. Thanks for sharing. I’m new to,this journaling so I’ll probably make a million mistakes!
Great ideas and tips/tricks. Thank you so much. I love your videos because you explain everything so well.
Thank you! 😄
I love this video and I can’t wait to make one
I love the video. Thank you so much for going into the details about how to do it. It helps out so much getting started on how to make one and I would love to have that one if you decide to give it away. Thank you.
I am new to your channel and I hope you will continue making tutorials like this because I like listening and learning from you.
New subscriber here. Haven't delved into junk journaling, but researching. I am a Happy Planner addict and overall crafter ...many, too many different crafts, and I love, LOVE the idea of junk journaling, just unsure where to begin. Thank you for the vids! They are helping A LOT!
Oh thank you 💗
That’s too funny, I actually first started with happy planner. It was the new thing out & everyone was doing it. But I couldn’t stay on track tho & I would always put so much pressure on myself to keep up with the latest & greatest. Lol There was just way to many rules for me, even if it was self imposed rules. Lol 😂 Then about 6months after that I seen my first junk journal video & I was hooked! I knew that was more my style & meant for me. I have been hooked ever since. Lol I do still use my old happy planner stuff tho it’s just mixed in with my junk journals. Lol I’m actually using an old happy planner for the 25 days of craftsmas this year. lol Ok I’ll stop rambling now. Lol 😂
I love the determination and the not giving up attitude on that sticky paper Chrissy! Your books are always soo beautiful 💗
Thank you so much! 😁
Your fine your fine take your time I’m not going anywhere I want to see how your going to do it. We love watching or we wouldn’t be here, so go for it girlfriend!!!❤😂😊
i love the extra burnt paper
Great video!!! I loove these kinds of videos!😍😍🥰
Thank you! 😁
Thank you
This was a great video. Not to long for me. I totally enjoyed watching everything you were doing. I'm thinking these would be great Christmas presents for my girls this year. Thank you.
Ruler and pencil ! Mark the centre from top and side! Punch hole! Remove backing and place!😄🇨🇦
Our Dollar Tree now is 1.25 now. 😱
You can use a credit card or your bone folder to spread that sticky out so it has no bubbles as you lay it.
Nice video
Unroll contact paper and refill it with decorated side inside and then in roll it will remain flat. Lay the paper you want flat down against the contact paper trace
around. Peel a small section press down
on journal and slowly unroll contact paper. I usually made paper a quarter
inch wider so I have enough. Then use
Paper punch to re punch hole.
Hi Chrissy. The little journal turned out great. 🌸
Thank you! I struggled a little but finally got there. Lol 😁
I would love to see you add more decorating
I LOVE THIS!!!!
Thank you! 😁
Maybe I would cut the hole for the clasp before I peeled over the backing.
This is a good idea too! I have thought of a few different ways I could’ve went about it that I wish I had thought of at the time, but I knew I would do that. Lol 😄
What are the measurements of the template that binds the journal
when u used the other envelope to trace it the first time you should have traced the hole or hole punched it before you prrled it off so your hole would have been done before hand
Maybe you could cover the bigger hole with a hole reinforcer
Yeah that’s a good idea! 😁
Can I see a complete finished one with actual writing (don’t want to read anything) just want to see it altogether if you don’t mind. I’m trying to follow you and make one. Thanks!
You could use a black pen or marker and fill in the yellow at clasp 🤔
That’s a very good idea! 😁
That was my thinking as well as outlining the while edge of the cover so if it wasn't straight it wouldn't show either.
Yes decorate
When you get the books you should get 2 that way you can use all the pages.working on some pages now using dollar tree books right now lol.
In one of my journals I put 64 pockets
I have some of those same stickers. I love them!
👍😁
What if before you peel the back off can you fold your cut out pice in half and then measure where the hole should be and cut out the hole then pull the backin off.
Jump to about 23:20 if you want to skip me showing the items I bought at the dollar tree & where I start in the journal. 🙂
Lot of people like me Star making junk journald, like me i Star using dollar tree store about 4 months algo, AND people make challege like no body use stickers paper glue fabrica for DT lol
Yes. Lol Dollar tree has really good cheap supplies for junk journals. I get excited to see if I can find something to use in a new way. Lol 😄
The roses as a cover is lovely but I think you’ve put it upside down 🤗
Yes it is upside down. Lol I thought it looked prettier that way bc the vines & roses kinda crawl to the middle. Lol I’m weird tho. Lol 😂
Did u get those big paperclips at DT?
Are you going to make a journal with Dollar Tree stuff or Just keep showing what Dollar Tree sells???
i’m so lost! i saw a bunch of instagram accounts junk journaling and it looks so fun and what in the world . what is a signature and anyone explain more to me? i really want to do this
In my newest videos I’m making one step by step there’s a part 1 & 2 so far. I also have another older video thats for beginners & I explain what everything is.
A signature is just the grouping of papers that you put in between the covers of the journal. It’s the pages that make up the journal. I hope that helped a little. 😊
Where did you get that really big clip to hold your junk journal together? I've been looking for the big clips?
I got it at Tuesday Morning. They usually have a nice selection of office supplies & crafty items for discounted prices! 😄
What glue do you use?
Where in DT do you find these tickets??
I been wanting these for a while now, but I can't seem to find them.
I found them in the office & school supplies area. Like by the poster boards & pens & paper. The dollar tree is my favorite place besides the second hand stores to get junk journal stuff. & now a lot of dollar trees have really expanded their craft section. Their double sided tape works really good & their packs of paint canvases are perfect for the journal covers. 😁
@@ChrissyDesigned thank you I will check it out. Our boys club has a second hand store and everything is half price tomorrow. Maybe I'll find some goodies 😃
@@lindabell125 oh that sounds fun! I love going to a thrift store & then find out there’s a sale too! Lol I embarrass my husband bc I’ll haggle at thrift stores. Lol 😂
get a black magic marker and dab in the hole
Yes that would work. That’s a great idea. Thank you! 😁
Just fill it in with a sharpie
That’s what I did with the second one after messing it up too! Lol
Please turn up your volume.
I’ll try to figure that out. Thank you 😊
I just wanted to know why are you complaining about the plants at the Dollar Tree? If you are going to complain don't buy it.
Can barely hear you it's almost like you are Whispering or too far away from the microphone. In my volume is all the way up on the device I am on
Hi! I’m so sorry the volume is too low. I wasn’t aware of that. It is a different mic that I am not used to & it has so many functions that I’m sure I’m doing something wrong. Lol On my end the volume in playback seemed fine so I figured it was ok for the viewers too. I’ll see if my daughter can maybe fix the volume in the video. Thank you for letting me know! 😁
Too much detail for me
