    This is such a refreshing video, no digitals! So many junk journal videos lately are thinly disguised advertisements for digital downloads from a few people. Thank you.

    • @joiedefi

      You're right, no digitals...just lovely junk and the odd scrapbook paper 😁💜 Thanks for popping by to watch!! Joie 🌿❣️

      Edwardian Lady I totally agree. I enjoy watching junk / vintage journal videos but I think the digital kits (even though some are lovely) just make everyones journals look similar. Luckily there are channels like this one where you can tell there has been a lot more thought and attention to detail put into the whole process.

    Joie, I love listening to your thought process as you prepare your signatures. This is the type of journal I prefer making using very random papers. I have to say you have crazy page folding skills! That’s one thing I would like to feel more confident about for sure. Thank you for sharing ❤️.

    • @joiedefi

    I learned so much from the way you do your journals. I've been doing altered books, but I love the idea of the smaller, easier to carry journals. I'm excited to see your embellishments. Had to rewatch a couple of times because the is so much information in this! Thank you for the tutorial and the sharing of your talent!

    Super video and so easy to follow!! TFS Joie :) Oops, forgot to answer some questions...I do not sell my journals (not going to say "never") I just like to make them and give them away, and it never hurts pass them on. I figure if it brightens someone's day, that is, at the same time, a gift to myself in the end. Looking forward to watching you decorate this lovely journal. Elizabeth x

    • @joiedefi

    Tracing paper, including old pattern papers, are great in a journal. The journalist can use the paper to trace a motif from a book, or make a rubbing with it. Tissue paper, vellum, likewise are nice additions for sound and visual effect that comes from layering. Graph paper is nice to add to do design work on. Gentlemen like a wallet sized notebook of graph paper to plan projects and take to the hardware store. I love your inspiring channel!

    • @joiedefi

    This is the best video I have watched on making these types of journals! You do not assume we know anything about how to make them.

    My comment is a bit late but I’ve had no keyboard for a couple of days! I love the way you are putting this journal together totally tailored to the likes and personality of your friend. What an original and personal gift to give, not just your time but your thoughts and creativity making this such a special gift. I only do my journals for myself as a means of having a special place to be creative for my own pleasure. I used to paint and frame pictures but there are only so many walls in a house! My journals are far to eclectic to contemplate selling as I don’t theme them but do what I feel like on any given day. For the junk journal side I’ve pretty much copyyou 😊😊but the art is all mine. Looking forward to watching you decorate this journal as I really love what you do and unashamedly pinch your ideas xxx

    • @joiedefi
      @joiedefi  4 роки тому

      Now I understand why those pictures that you shared on Facebook are so good.. you're actually an artist...and always so generous with your words too. 🥰 No keyboard, hmmm, not much you can do without one of those these days. I really appreciate your support Rita. Wishing you well. Happy journaling!! Joie 💜🌿

    A book is a great idea, but also, using an AWL to punch the holes us much easier on the hands as it is longer and has a handle to hold onto. :) but does same job. :)

    I may make one for a friend, after your inspiration. She doesn't do any crafts but likes to write letters. Maybe I can get her into journaling. I like all the beautiful digital for junk journals. However I have not figured out how to download them and had to enlist help from family members when I purchased them. Luckily I have a variety of books and papers to use. Thanks for the inspiration.

    I really enjoyed your video--and imagine my surprise when I saw I map of where I live (north shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota) and then where my daughter lives (Blaine, Minnesota) in your pages! I've just recently learned about junk journaling and have been binge-watching so many of your videos. I made my first junk journal for my young granddaughter so we can make pockets and tags and decorate pages together. My second one will be for my daughter to use as a travel journal. I was so glad to see you use two signatures, which was just what I was needing at the moment. Thanks for another great video!

    • @joiedefi

    Hi Joie, I’ve finally found the perfect time to watch you most recent tutorial. (My husband had Emg. Surgery and is finally home and resting.) so many, many fabulous ideas. You have chosen wonderful pages once again for your journal remembering your friends most likely things she will enjoy. I find if a journal is pleasing to look at we are most likely to use it to write, pencil color or paint in. I too enjoy Amity Blooms wonderful inspiration. Great idea for some who may not have a score board. I especially like how you have placed your papers. ( not every page even with one and other. I do like using an awl and an only phone book. I put the signature in the open page fitting it tightly in to the spine of the phone book, then punching my holes. Just an idea I saw on another channel a while ago. I always bind mine the same way so I can add two small charms dangling that goes well with the journal. Thank you, again, for sharing how your process of putting together your journals especially why you choose the papers you do. I too especially liked the different vibrant colors of what looked like scrapbook paper and your middle signature and how you made the book page fit so well as to include the entire page. I’m looking forward to seeing how you will decorate it. Perhaps that lovely bird can be fussy cut for a tuck spot. I did really like him as well. So happy for UA-cam as I was still able to watch what I was so looking forward to. Btw, yes indeed when I clean up and put things away I’ve forgotten that perfect place I’d thought it should go. Hope it reappears🤗 hugs

    It's nice to watch and hear your process; I love ledger paper, especially the old ones (haven't found any old ones yet, but I do like using the newer ones). I really like how you not only used a variety of "found" papers, but you used folds to make them interesting. I'm going to have to practice that, I love the way your pages came together. You made me chuckle about putting things away and then not finding them. I do that all the time! I try to be organized, but I do spend a lot of time looking for something that I KNOW I have somewhere because I JUST had it a little while ago and put it AWAY, lol. Very educational, thanks for sharing. Take care!

    I just love this, Joie! I'm just a bit late with a handmade item for a friend's birthday. I think she would love this! I'll grab up a few papers, and have a bit of crafting in the evenings on my vacation next week!
    I do lose items when I tidy. Just need to tell myself outloud where I'm putting things!
    See you next time! Hugs!
