I have watched many journal workshops. I just discovered yours. You are the very best teacher I have encountered in the 3 years I have been journaling! This is the first time I have commented on a video. Keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to see what you are doing in 2018.
I have been trying to grasp the concept of how to start making a junk journal for a few years and it wasnt until I watched this video that I FINALLY understand how to begin putting it together!!! Thank you so much for the tutorial!!!
Jessica, I came across your channel a few months ago. I had been searching for some sort of scrapbook type craft. Scrapbooking was too stressful for me (I'm a perfectionist). Watching your videos, I thought, "OMGosh! This is exactly what I want to do!" This challenge was my very first junk journal. It was a great way to learn and exercise my creativity. I asked my hubby's opinion on some things and he helped me with some hot gluing. He's really happy that I finally took the plunge to make one and that I enjoyed it so much. I have supplies for several Botanical, Autumn/Gratitude and December Daily journals that I've collected. I've just been too nervous to start. I'm excited now to assemble those other journals now. I shared my pics on instagram. (I still plan to make a video flip through at some point) Thank you for your inspiration, help and encouragement!! ❤️
Thank you for making your directions so simple and CLEAR! New to making junk journals and have had many questions and doubts. Your videos have been easing my fears. THANK YOU!
Thank you for telling me I can use a thumb tack! I was legit going to bust out a screwdriver and make a huge mistake. I didn't think of a thumb tack. XD
Okay, this old dog is learning some new tricks. Not only am I attempting to make my first junk journal for this challenge, I also am learning how to make You Tube videos. My part 1 video showing the Dollar Tree supplies I am going to use is posted here (I hope!): ua-cam.com/video/m0GVToMl0P8/v-deo.html
This is one of the best (how to) junk journal videos I have watched!! ❤️🥰 I am a newby and just getting started. I’m a little intimidated but I’m going to try 🤞Thanks for being so patient and explaining things so well!!!!!👍👏☺️😊
What a super job you did with this vid ... thank you so much for keeping your tutorials less talk more action ... you are a cool crafter and I thank you
You're awesome and you have just inspired me to make a JJ i already got a book today at dollar tree and a lot of my craft supplies are from DT i even make my gesso and paste with glue, baby powder and white paint 💜 TFS
Hey Cool Mom, I don't know if you check new comments on old videos but here goes. I really love that you posted tutorial on a very affordable journal and so simple and understanding instructions. I love watching all the different tutorials on Junk journals but, felt overwhelmed by the expense of making one. The Dollar Tree how neat. Now I am going to make one, and I'm subscribed to your channel : ) Bekah
I love how easy you make junk journals. The idea to use instant coffee⭐️ is brilliant! I just subscribed and love your video. Thank you for your easy tutorial as I am a beginner journaled. Lol
I don't know if you will see this message because the video is so old. I would love it if you would do another one of these in the new year! That would be awesome! I LOVE that I am financially resourceful in my junk journal I use more personal ephemera and it makes it more special to me anyway. I know everyone is different. I am getting ready to do my first Golden Book so I wanted to check out your binding. Your journals are always perfect!
Hi Jessica, I am very excited to make my first junk journal. Your tutorial on this one is the most helpful that I think I can actually make one. I have shared on facebook. Take care and be safe.
Thank you so much for having this challenge!! I'm super excited! I'm new to Junk Journal making, so this will give me more practice! 😊. You're videos and beautiful personality is what sparked my interest in JJ's. You're truly an inspiration! I shared on Facebook. 😊
i love this idea. i'm going to make a journal with $15 of stuff from the dollar tree. even though i'm like 2 years late in this challenge, i'm still going to do it and post a video on my channel and credit you in it. i've watched so much of your content and i love it. i also am going to make another one but only using $15 of dollar tree stuff that i'm going to have my mom choose for me!
I started this today, boy, this is really a challenge! It's a lot more challenging to create a journal when I can't use the papers, digitals, cardstock, etc I normally use. You're really making me think! lol I shared your challenge on Instagream (where I first saw it), JJJ Chat group on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and I made a VR with a link to this video and just posted it on UA-cam. I hope you get a lot of entries, and good luck to all who do! Debbie :)
I think you missed my videos because I don't see them on your playlist? I did the VR as mentioned here, and I've since done a video showing the completed journal. That was harder to make than I thought it would be! It was tough remembering to only use things from the dollar tree lol.
This challenge has been so fun!!! I’m still working on my journal, I’ve had so much fun watching what everyone has made !! Maybe a December DT jj challenge ??
I did mine...oddly. I created a December Daily Dollar Tree Challenge Junk Journal, so mine is all done as a Christmas journal, and I am using it to enter my December Daily Prompts.
Finally it is finished. I just made my first of hopefully many junk journals. This was fun to do even though I had no clue of what I was doing. I posted pictures to your e-mail address (I hope). Ramona Suina
I love it :) What a cool journal :) I cant wait to make my first journal because you made it so easy to learn how... I will make a VR and link it :) I cant wait to go to the dollar tree :) Can we use a book we have on hand? instead of buying a book at the DT? If not i will buy a book :) TY for sharing
Hi I’m in the Uk and we don’t have a Dollar Tree but we have a shop called £1 land where mos things can be brought for £1 can I still enter the competition look forward to your reply Love Bobby x
I have created a dollartree junk journal and have shared it with you on instagram and #dollartreejjchallenge I hope I have entered correctly !!!! I shared this video on FB also !!! Thanks for the challenge, this is my first journal. I will share inside pic soon.
I just first now found this video and am wondering where is the tutorial on how to do the hidden book binding. I searched your channel and cannot find how this is done. Can you assist?
I would like to participate in the Dollar Tree Junk Journal Challenge. I have sent you an email tonight explaining how I am able to share about the challenge.
Is it a junk journal if it's all stuff that you have to buy first to make it? I always wondered this because I see a lot of scrapbookers making junk journals with all brand new things. For myself I have a hard time using anything non-archival if I intend to sell/give it away, especially if I'm using all new supplies.
Belinda Short Nope you can use stuff you already have! I'm in the middle of gathering stuff together to make a new journal and I'm only using supplies I already have, not gonna spend a dime :)
This is amazing to show that cheap materials don’t have to LOOK cheap!!!
I just love your videos! You are clear and precise and to the point while adding your own personality!
I have watched many journal workshops. I just discovered yours. You are the very best teacher I have encountered in the 3 years I have been journaling! This is the first time I have commented on a video. Keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to see what you are doing in 2018.
I have been trying to grasp the concept of how to start making a junk journal for a few years and it wasnt until I watched this video that I FINALLY understand how to begin putting it together!!! Thank you so much for the tutorial!!!
I like how you sewed the signatures to the backing, then glued to book cover. I haven't seen it done like that before!
