- Опубліковано 1 тра 2024
- My friend Darcy Sanders is creating an No-Sew Envelope Journal and the process has intrigued me so much so that I've decided to try to create my own following her videos.
This Video is all about making sense of what this journal is to me and how to guide it towards that goal.

I live in the US. I'm 74 and I have crafted for over 50 years. You have opened a new door for me; a new world, if you will. I would never fast forward you; nope, nopey, nope. Thank you for giving me purpose; thank you for sharing your artistic endeavors with me. Never underestimate yourself; you are good at your craft.
I totally agree! 73 here and have just rediscovered my love of paper arts and gel printing!
Cheri, don’t change a THING about how you work!!! Your process and thinking really helps me plan and figure things out on the fly when I have to! I immensely enjoy watching your videos and can only hope to one day be as talented as you are!
I totally agree aswell. Im 52 yrs and Ceri I NEVER fast forward you. You do such a wonderful with lots of little tips n tricks. The colours of this journal are so bright and just beautiful. ❤
Ceri, I watch your videos over fully a couple times. I am making an envelope journal. I painted the envelopes, and glued them together.I am coloring rows of flowers out of a color book and fussy cutting them out. I have notched the pockets . And that is where I am at. Really enjoying this project!
Thanks Ceri lots of great information. The journal is looking beautiful already and I am looking forward to the next video.
Thank you Connie.
I love how everyone puts their spin on this. 100 people, 100 different ideas. No rights, no wrongs.
Absolutely Robin
Not only do YOU learn from your "struggles" but by sharing them and your thought processes with us, WE learn too! thanks❤
We love you and all of your art. A book of quotes is a perfect idea!
I love how you placed smaller pieces of the coffee dyed paper so the beautiful art work still showed. ❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊
Fabulous work Ceri. You should put the quote "trust the process" in this too :)
Great idea
Wow this is a Beautiful journal. Makes me happy just looking at the beautiful colors. TFS.
Ceri : avec toutes vos belles Créations, vous rendez ce Monde Meilleur !❤🌷💐⚘️🌺💞❤️💕💋‼️
Merci
Ceri, I love watching you create that journal, it gives ideas too. Your doing a great job, keep it going.
Thank you so much
Just when I was thinking how could it get any more stunning, it did! This is such a beautiful work of art.
Loving this, looking forward to number four. Enjoy your break away. 😀
No. 4 launches on the 8th.
Enjoying everything so this time I am not going faster.Thanks Ceri
Look at you going outside your comfort zone and creating something unique and beautiful! Well done Ceri. 🇨🇦💙
Thank you so much Alison
I have watched Darcy's, PM Artist and yours. My favorite has been watching your process.
Thank you Sherry
Here is a quote you may enjoy. " Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way." -- Edward de Bono. Thank you for stepping out of your comfort zone and sharing your creative processes with us.
Love that, thank you
I'm absolutely loving how this journal is going and I love the idea of a quote book. I look forward to your next video on this. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you so much!
Amazing for me, to see a person, and listen to that person. You are facinating.
I love that you went way out side the comfort zone, love the envelope journal and I love your purpose for it. Such a good result!!
Good evening dear Ceri, we all have our ways of crafting. You, are such a unique and talented, creator with your own way of creating. I just love how your mind works, your thought process, your way of teaching, everything about you shines through when your are creating. In or out of your comfort zone you create beauty. I learn something each time I watch you. Thank you dear man for all you do and for all the conversations . I so appreciate you. Hugs and blessings ❤🙏🤗
Brenda thank you, I’m so pleased people enjoy my content and find it useful.
Ceri, what a beautiful and colorful Ceri style journal. I’m sorry you struggled with putting the envelops together. I believe Darcy flies by the seat of her pants, she doesn’t over think her envelop glueing. I’m like you I try to figure out what I’m doing and why.😂 thank you sharing your craft with us. I also enjoy seeing your face on camera. Your very good at what you do. 😊
Thank you so much Pat
As always I learn something new from your videos Ceri, Thank you. Beautiful journal even if not yet completed. 💜💙💚💛🧡❤
Love, love, love this Ceri! I never fast forward thru any of your videos! I want to see it all, and I’m never disappointed! I really hope you will be able to enjoy your time away….remember to collect moments, along with any things you might want to collect as well. Til your next video…
Fast forward !!? What are you talking about Ceri ? Never in a million years ! You've got this Great Grandma excited about creating an envelope journal for my two Great Grandbabies! I love hearing your sorting out process.
Ceri, I’m loving this series and this book. Really likeable. I really loved your thrifted scrapbook with the pages all ready to cut into tags. So much creativity.
Hi, Ceri!
This maze of openings makes me dizzy. It is, of course, its complexity which makes it so interesting and attractive.
I think this would make an excellent book of quotes.
Your master boards are to die for. In fact, I don`t think I could cut them up.
On second thought, I don`t "think", I know for sure that I couldn`t cut these beauties into cards and hide them in pockets... No, no, no, not me.
Thanks for all you share! I’m a bit more in the box myself so what you do is useful to inspiration!
am enjoying the journey. Your process is so amazing Thank you so very much.
I love that you didn’t skip the second one. I also struggle sometimes still with more random, my brain likes to line things up, etc. However, watching you go through your thought process helps me! I’ve stepped outside my comfort zone and played with Geli printing a few times and now I really enjoy it (and need to play some more!) Keep inspiring us with your fun and beautiful work! 💗
Ceri, I love the way you think and teach, and I love this journal. I look forward to using these videos in the future!!!
Thank you Ceri. I really love the idea of a journal for favourite quotes. This is such a beautiful journal.
Absolutely love your work! TFS Both you and Darcy have inspired me. Your journal is turning out to be great! 🤙❤
Thank you Tutu
Love your work Ceri. Marinate and trust the process. Thank you thank you.
Enjoy your travels
Thank you! Will do!
A lovely journal to give your favorite quotes or poems a beautiful home. Ceri, your master boards are absolutely stunning.
Thank you so much!
I'm absolutely loving this journal ❤❤❤
You wait until you see it being finished on the 8th, even I’m happy with it at that point. Thank you Darcy ❤️
@@CeriGriffiths awesome sauce! ♥️
Ceri, it’s stunning, even without decorating.
Love it Ceri! Amazing design! ❤
I find this project fascinating. I also must confess I am not an art journal maker, that being said I sooo appreciate your talents and love watching you create. There is no way I would have known you were struggling with this project had you not said so. I struggle just getting the cap off the paint, lol. I live vicariously through all you creative folks!❤
lol…..thank you
What an interesting piece this is. It's absolutely beautiful. Looking out it thrills me as much as a masterboard does.
I really like your choice of the children for the cover. All the colors go so well. ❤
Thank you Donna
Awww...SEE! Trust The Process darling!! It's looking magnificent. Well Done Griffiths xx Love You dear xxxx
Thank you Paulla
You, Mariah and Darcy have inspired me to try this envelop journal myself. I love all the colorful work you have shared. Thank you.
This project is looking fantastic Ceri. Looking forward to the next installment with anticipation. Thanks for sharing your time and creativity with us.
When you said you were adding coffee dyed paper, I thought, noooo, you will cover up all that fabulous colour. 😮 Then you came back and it looked brilliant, I love the journaling spots.......I know, I know, trust the process. 😂😊😊 can't wait to see the finished journal. ❤❤xx
Final part launches on the 8th
Love your channel and creativity!!!
The way you added journal spaces turned out very neat.
By far my favorite video you've done. What a gorgeous journal
Wow, thank you
A little bit different from Darcy's one but so lovely. Can't wait to watch part 4 😊❤
Thank you! 😊
Love love love this journal lovely way to keep little quotes ❤️👏
Thanks so much! 😊 Karen
This process looked a bit daunting in the beginning. What an excellent ending (sans final decor) this was. Appreciate the explanations as you went along.😊
I am really full of admiration for you and this journal. I had my doubts when you 1st started (I know, trust the process 😁) but it is turning out beautifully. Enjoy your travels..
Sheila I’ll admit it was a struggle but by the end it was enjoyable, pt 4 launches on the 8th.
Love, love, love it! Put my envelopes together this morning!
Wonderful
Fantastic Ceri, thank you again. Am looking forward to the next few steps of my journal. Thank you also for suggesting purposes for the journal, I was certainly struggling with that aspect as well.
I am loving where this is going Ceri. Such an inspiration. BTW I'm nearly 65 and this has been my direction for ovr 3 years
Wonderful
Ceri, you have inspired me! I had broke my shoulder in February and started watching videos about junk journaling. I am out of my sling now. I am starting my very first journal. I had a rough time yesterday, but am telling myself to trust the process and that I can fix my mistakes. I have decided to make mine about quotes and inspirations. One will probably be "what would Ceri do?" I like your heart to heart talks!
Thank you, and take it slow a shoulders a hard injury to fully recovery from.
As always, inspiring and informational. It is somehow comforting to hear that you sometimes struggle while creating.
Oh I do struggle sometimes.
This is marvelous!!!! I've watched all 3 videos and still don't know how you did it. My brain can't keep up
Great delivery Ceri. Love to watch your videos so much. Enjoy your fortnight away ❤
Also, I find the way you work very calming for me because sometimes all the colour against a manic background just freezes me where as you are all nice and tidy and I can focus on what you are doing ❤
Oh thank you
Ceri, with all the apprehensions you mentioned in your introduction, please be aware that you are a fine crafter. I know of no one who can do everything. I am not aware that you seriously sell any of the projects you create. In fact, I think I recall you saying you purposefully do not sell your projects. This is an asset rather than a problem. What you create you create from your own desires. I know of no UA-cam journal maker who sells their journals who does not look for what the public likes and wants and then provides them with those kind of projects. The result of this kind of commercial approach to what they create is that the only difference between projects is the subject matter and not the way in which they decorate. It could be a book about fall or a book about clowns. The fact is, the system has been established and the same images and placement of bits and pieces remain the same from book to book. Butterflies and scraps of book pages are de rigueur. And, for people who make a living from creating journals, this makes sense. It's a faster way of producing product, it provides the customers with what they want and if a person is really in touch with their customer base, it is financially rewarding. I've watched your videos for several years now and I don't see you creating from a need to make what other people want. To me, it seems that each project is a challenge that you try as best you can to conquer. I think that is so refreshing and admirable! You are among friends. It excites me when I see you stepping out of your comfort zone because then I know you are REALLY trying to expand and improve your skills which is something every crafter should actively pursue. Thumbs up, my friend!
Thank you so much.
Never boring !!!!!! X
Потрясающе!
Whoo hoo, #100 thumbs up baby Thanks Ceri
🎉 thank you
I love the Gold you added! Great idea! Also love the idea of a journal for sayings or quotes you love- this will invoke good memories of friends and family!
Thanks so much! 😊
I'm so glad you posted part 2! It was fascinating and very helpful. This one also looks set to be fascinating as well - thank you!
Edit: Indeed, a master class in construction and purpose. A lot for me to think about - many thanks.
Thank you Judy, the final part launches on the 8th
Ceri contribue à enrichir la Beauté du monde !❤🌺💞🌹
Thank you
I am really enjoying in this video series! I look forward to the next video. You have impeccable taste!
Wow, thank you
❤❤❤
Wwwooowww Ceri, this looks fantastic! I love the panels you put in for writing space as well.
Thanks so much! 😊 Julie
Awesome !! If it’s getting a bit chubby you could just ink the white sides of the journal cards ? I’m loving it’s :))Have a beautiful day 🌿
This was such a fantastic video series. I loved how you created the gel prints on the envelopes and hoe each of them came out. I hope you step out of your comfort zone more often! Great job and love your Mother’s quote!!
Thank you so much
I am impressed with your work, Ceri. This project was not exactly in my comfort zone mostly because of the bright colors and variety of patterns - I usually go for more subdued palettes. But as usual you brought it all together in a tasteful fashion! Amazing!
Beautiful job, great processing each step of the way & know you are an inspiration and a wonderful artist
Thank you so much Rebecca
Love the idea of quotes journal ❤
This is wonderful! ❤️❤️
Hello from Ohio 💗 I love this project. And I think your master boards are beautiful 😍 you're an inspiration to me and I hope to have beautiful master boards like you create. ❤
Thank you so much
Loving this journal. I have to say I liked the raven better for the cover. The two children work OK though. Thanks for sharing. I will watch Darcy's video.
Wait till you see part 4
Such a great project Ceri. I'd never make one (well, elements, but not the whole thing). I love the idea of quotes. Thank you for sharing this, so fun!
You are so welcome
✨💖✨ Lovin' this!!!
Always enjoy your thinking processes, especially as they contrast with so many of the other artists tackling this project! Your style is diametrically different from Darcy’s, yet you both have ended up with wonderful results, as has Mariah! 👍👏❤️
Thanks so much Sandy
Ceri, it's coming along nicely. I have been enjoying all of you that have been doing them. Fun to see how each of you approach it. I like your idea to use it as a quote catcher. I made a journal many years ago (thanks to Gayle, Medevial Mirage, and Traci Fox) that I sectioned off and one section is for quotes. Great to record them so they can be carried on. I look forward to video #4. Have fun on your trip.
Thank you so much, no. 4 coming on the 8th.
Did you hear me say “yes that’s the one” when you brought out the cover card with the butterfly on it. It brought out the dark pink and another color on the cover. My birthday is May 20 when I will be 90. I have done so many crafts since I was in high school and still do paper crafts. I just moved into a smaller home where I use a bedroom as My craft room. Did have one that was 20 x 18 so am getting rid of a lot. You don’t need to answer this as it is so long but love your work. 😊
Your process is great, I like how you use pieces of the coffee dyed paper☺
Thanks so much! 😊
Wow! I've throughly enjoyed while watching this project (and through your process learned more about my own creative process). I've seen these types of layouts with junk mail, but never attempted - as it didn't make sense to me. Adding this to my bucket list to try now. Especially as I am finding myself venturing deeper into mixed media! Truly inspiring - Diolch yn fawr iawn! 🥰
Wonderful, just remember there are no rules, just have fun with it.
Lovely!!!!❤❤❤❤
Ceri - You have almost sucked me into this project. I need to go to bed, it’s 2:00am in the USA. I love you young man and you look great in blue. (😅Greensboro, NC, USA)
Thank you
Great video Ceri❤ I enjoyed your process very much. Is coming along so well. I was thinking in doing some more motherboards, your folder give me some great ideas for it. The question about what put on the envelopes and what is the purpose of the journal was make during my stream today, we may need to think harder😂TFS
I found your journal make fascinating as well and I’m so happy you posted it. We were able to see a similar yet very different process from what Darcy completed. I also watched TutusHale video and was fascinated by her process as well. I hope you will watch mine as well, mine is very different as I didn’t have enough envelopes. Wonderful work as always. Thank you.
Thank you so much, I’ll catch up on video watching when I get home.
Part 4 will complete this visual symphony.
Thank you, part 4 launches on the 8th
Hi Ceri. Personally I would have enjoyed watching you add the papers/tissue but I understood why you didn't record it. Your "quote" journal is an awesome idea. I have a quote journal/notebook I made several years ago (before I even knew about this wonderful world of paper). I hope you share which quotes you put in it (something you could do occasionally with a short video perhaps? A Coffee with Ceri episode maybe? I have several favorites of my own but I'm always open to new ones. 😁 TFS Hope you have a great day. 🌞
That a great idea, thank you
❤❤❤ coming along nicely. I really like the idea of quotes. I'm considering a Faith Journal. I could do it similarly and use scripture that speaks to me as I work on each envelope. TFS ❤❤❤
Perfect Susan
Thank you always for your videos. I am a fan of your voice, too. There are actors and actresses that I love their voices. Yours is up there. I listen to auditable books. Have you thought about maybe narratoring books? I think you would be great at it.
Thank you Jody, many years ago I did some voice over work in the states for advertisements and yes I’ve looked into audio books but the process is more than I think I could handle.
@CeriGriffiths very cool. 🤩
Now on to part 4.
Pt 4 is releasing on the 8th
💜💜💜
💖💖💖
❤❤
❤
Fantastic book. Looks very bohemian to me how many envelopes did you use?
I think I used 13 envelope in the end

Ceri, I am in awe. This is turning out so gorgeous, and I love the writing spots. Thank you for sharing your process with us
You are so welcome Sonia
