How to turn Unwanted 12"x12" pages into ten backgrounds

- Опубліковано 4 кві 2022
- There are always those 12"x12" pages in a pad that don't fit your style, they're not ugly, they just don't work for you and this is one of the ways of utilising them to build your stash of ephemera backgrounds.
Happy Crafting

Please don't stop doing these basic videos. I am not a newbie, but just LOVE the template. I have not seen the plastic wrap trick before. Thank you!
Victoria, I’ll keep doing what I can as long as I can, if I can help the next generation of creative people in some small way I will have done my job.
Love! Thank you
👁👁 CERI: THANKS FOR THE 12” TEMPLATE - am adding diagram to my Binder‼️
Since I am 79 yo & the last of the original family members,
I will make a journal of “remembered moments.”
It is to honor the most amazing, creative, humble, strong-minded, delicate, forward/advance thinking, fun/funny, constantly kind, female, ever...
❣️my mother❣️
Praying I live long enough to create and leave it to my only son and to his one and only son ...
my one and only grand child 💞
🙋♀️Thanks dear dear man 💖
for sharing your time & talent plus teaching ability -
I now understand the concept of what a “journal” can BE and what it can DO ❤️
Forever grateful, your loyal fan 🙋♀️ in Arizona🌵 USA 🇺🇸

Dianne, long may you enjoy your creativity.
To any new people, welcome, you're in for a treat!
Ceri, I just adore watching you work and create magic. I'm so glad you share
Thank you Linda, only by sharing skills and techniques can others be inspired and take our artistic skills to the next level.
I watch these videos over and over and catch something new each time.
Hello Ceri I have only just joined you on UA-cam. Would like to thank you for giving me a new hobby. I have been retired since June last year. And I been drawing and painting on and off for years. I needed a change. All the best for 2024, look forward to following you. Xx
Leslie thank you and happy new year.
Dear Ceri, I’m a newbe around this journaling art community, ( so 'thank you' too for acknowldging us newbes') I feel so grateful and amazed by your lovely gentle willingness and methodology of sharing, I adore it. The free flowing approach to starting and in particular the template is a magical key to getting going on this art journey. And if you are ocd then I guess I am too because everything you say makes perfect sense to me. Thank you so much for your guidance, I will now go off in search of more of you. Namaste.
Thank you Jane and welcome, I’ll be trying to create templates wherever possible as so many enjoy them.
Mr. Finkel from the British Museum is collecting all Journals from around the world because it is history. He does have a U-tube channel where he explains why it is important to save these journals. I think this is a wonderful idea because history is not just about war, it should also include how people lived their daily lives. Love your ideas Ceri!!!
Thank you and what a great idea. .
Omg Ceri! That template is a game changer for me! Love watching you and your great ideas. I love that in the journal world we always get to learn new ideas from fellow crafters!
Thank you, I’m constantly inspired by our creative community.
I've only just found your channel and am impressed! I love the idea of using up some of the "unusable" 12 x 12 papers. I know we've all fallen victim to the 12 x 12 packs that have maybe 3 or 4 designs that we can't live without but then we're left with a LOT of pages that just won't work for us. This is an ingenious idea! I'm primarily a card maker but I've decided that 2023 is the year I'll get back to my favorite art form - mixed media. I love to make journals so your ideas will be so useful. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you Linda and don’t forget these could easily be layers or a topper on a card front, have fun creating.
You brought back some childhood memories for me too Ceri! We never had a washing machine either and I also used to turn the handle on a mangle for my mum but not so much for clothes, more for sheets and blankets. It is always good to see how each crafter vary basics and get inspiration. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you
“Little bit of gossip from me” ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️‼️‼️love it!!!
Thank you
Such a fabulous video, my friend! Love the template and always enjoy an “ugly paper” make over! And…you gave me a tear. You’re too kind, dear Ceri. Love you, my friend! ❤️
Love you back Gayle, you’re a treasure.
You manage to give us so much info in each of your lessons. Thank you!
I’ve used so many of your ideas, especially the eight-pocket 12x12! You’re always so good at explaining and your neatness is so welcome!
You are the first creator that has explained the advantages and reasons for mass making , that has made sense to me. I am neurodivergent ( or neuro spicy) and the idea of focusing on one thing makes me anxious. But your process doesn’t feel so restrictive. Now to tidy up my creative space and start a few processes that will make creating journals a little faster and more enjoyable. I think you understand the anxiety of perfectionism better than anyone else on UA-cam! Thanks for your realism and kindness.
I must also say that I appreciate the bold colors you sometimes use- I resorted to making my own backgrounds because I couldn’t find intense colors that make me happy. Love the whole vintage / Victorian look, but too many cabbage roses gives me 1980s flashbacks!
Thanks to you and your subscribers for being supportive, curious, friendly, and a safe place to become the creators we are all meant to be.
Warm wishes to all from Colorado Springs, Colorado- USA.
Thank you so much and good luck with the mass makes.
I am so glad I found your channel. I am new and learned so much in such a short period of time. I will be coming back routinely. Thank you so much for considering beginners!
You’re more than welcome, thank you.
I am new here as well as to making journals. I love the template as well as the direction for what to do with the unwanted 12 by 12 papers. I am watching different artists create at this point with the goal of creating backgrounds, pockets, and other ways of displaying for future generations the plethora of ephemera left to me from past generations. I hope at least one member of each generation shows an interest in the stories and genealogy as well as all the little bits and pictures that can be tucked into handmade books.
Lovely idea Ann, I wish you all the luck in finding the perfect match’s for your vision.
I am a newby and love watching your videos. I learn something from every video.
Thank you Paula and welcome to my channel
I'M learning so much from you, Ceri!!! Systematicity, process, details of deciding the process!!!
Happy to help!
I just love the way mine turned out, and love the journal cards and tags so much, will definitely be doing this again ❤
Wonderful
I’m a newbie, 😊👋🏻 November 2023, and loving all Ceri does here on UA-cam. You are such an inspiration to all who enjoy creating. Thank you!
Thank you so much and welcome to my channel.
Again, Thank you for thinking of us Newbies 😆 Love this arrangement. I appreciate you for sharing this with us Ceri❤️
The template is a wonderful idea Takes the pain out of deciding where to cut.
It certainly helps me.
You made it look so easy…….and it was………as a creator that often wants all my pieces perfect…….love this piece……let’s me work outside my comfort zone and still have my 12x12 piece( that quite often never will be used) not become a wasted sheet!
TFS.🤗🤗🤗
Great news.
Ceri, I just love the look of this 12x12 background...simple but just elegant looking. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
I have been making tags like this for years, but I never tire of watching others make them, and also, you taught me to think about making a template. I usually willy-nilly cut randomly, but I like this extra step. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome.
I’m a newbie and appreciate you taking the time to make something for those of us who are going through some of the nervousness you talked about. I also don’t like my own handwriting, but my family members tell me I’m too hard on myself. I totally relate. Thanks so much for expressing what many don’t express.
The newbie here appreciates the beginner info!!! I’m still figuring a lot of things out!!!
We all started at the same place and I hope my videos will help and support you on your creative journey.
I’m that new person to this hobby you’re talking about ! I started making cards then tags but I wanted to make my own backgrounds. I started on this journey of cards only just before Christmas so these videos are wonderfully creative. ❤🇦🇺
Thank you Cindy I’m glad these videos are helping you on your journey.
THANK YOU ❣️❣️❣️
I’m a new subbie and new to junk journaling 🤗 you make everything look so effortlessly beautiful ❣️❣️❣️ I took a screenshot of your template and can’t wait to get started making ephemeral little masterpieces ❣️❣️❣️ Lol! Again, you’re much appreciated 💜💜💜
Thank you Debbie and have fun on your creative journey.
I am very happy how calmly you told this page. Now I'm starting to understand. How beautiful you can make this.
Wonderful
I am a newbie to your channel and I’m so excited to be here. I’m in south Australia and about to embark on a journey of helping my 8 year old twin grandsons to make their first junk journal…so having some basic videos are great AND by a male is even better so thank you. Thank you very much
Thank you Liz, make wonderful memories with your grandsons.
YES PLEASE, all the tips & tricks you got under your sleeve !!
Thank you
I'm glad you revisit things for us, and I'm glad you mentioned not filling the journals so full, I truly would want the person who receives it to be able to use it. 💜 The template for cutting and the tag corner template are brilliant!
Thank you
I love how you “explain “ every step!! Fabulous! and thank you for your great work and sharing.
You are so welcome Victoria
I love what you were saying about your handwriting. I’m the same and I have Children and Grandchildren. I can remember going through my Mothers things after she was gone and hanging on to everything she had written . So I think what you said is very wise. ! Thanks for the reminder 👍
You're welcome
I have no idea how I got to your page, but I'm so glad I did. I'm new at this and I love listening to you and watching you. I would have never thought of this!!! Thank you!
Thank you and welcome.
Thank you for a relaxing and stimulating video. I have only been looking into scrapbooking for a very short time after making cards for about 6 years. So the level was perfect for me. Your whole persona was so natural and your instructions so very clear. I thought it was brilliant. Thank you very much.
Wonderful, thank you for your kind comment.
Thanks for sharing the 4x4 cards. I love to watch you work. I learn more and more tricks and tips. You help me just jump in and go, not worrying
What to put next . That has taken the stress away.
Thank you
Wonderful
Great idea, Ceri! Yes those not so desirable 12 x 12’ s....... just didn’t want them to go to waste. Hooray for that template! Another inspiring video. Thank you, Ceri! 🦋🦋🦋
Thank you Sally
I really appreciate your teaching and explanations that give is the thinking behind how you do something!
Glad you enjoy it, thank you
You know, you are saying that you hate your handwriting, I don’t particularly like my own hand writing either, but, if you just think of someone that loves you so very much, has a touch of something that you cared enough to write on, they will cherish it forever. Just a thought…🤔
Love this idea that you are doing to use up the old. LOVE the darling tissue paper over the texts!❤️🌸❤️🌸
Thank you and I’m pleased you like it.
Thank you, Ceri, for the lovely video. I do have a few "hideous" 12 x 12 sheets from otherwise lovely paper packs. Now I know what to do with them. I love how calming your voice is. It lends itself to a serene crafting environment. And thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your talents.
Anna you’re more than welcome
Awesome tutorial! I laughed when you talked about Mom's carrying damp cloths in bags, my Mom gave us "spit baths", LOL spit on a tissue. She figured Mom spit was okay.Love your videos.
Love that…..yup that’s how my hair was sorted when I was a kid.
Very systematic approach thus lessening the time to make tags and pockets. Thank you so much.
Great thank you
I'm new to all of this and this is one of the best videos I've seen! Thanks so much for taking us "newbies" into consideration when you explain what you're making. I got a lot of great tips to incorporate into my crafting 😊❤
Glad it was helpful!
I know this video is a year old,I’m very late to the party, but I love it! Thank you! Love your channel!
Thanks for watching
Yes Ceri I'm a new bee to your channel and have never seen this before and am catching up on past videos. This is fantastic. Val.🐨 💟
Welcome aboard Valerie

.I am learning so much about how and what tools are out there......i am just soaking it all in and soon I will be creating something....teehheehee cant wait. good thing I am retired. so thank you thank you....
Have fun.
@@CeriGriffiths I got called away and just finished watching to the end and am blown away... I really love it and you made it with such ease. fantastic results....thank you again.
What a pleasure hearing you ! It takes me more than 50 years ago, when I went to see my granny for my holidays in Southampton. Her way of talking was like yours, same style same words same particular idioms (tickle in the throat for e.g.) that I haven’t heard since. When I watch your videos I'm a little bit at home. Now I’ve lost all practice and vocabulary and the « Oxford » way of speaking is the only one I can understand. Thanks so much for this « madeleine de Proust ».
Thank you
Genius! Thank you for sharing your method, Ceri!!
You’re welcome.
Hello Ceri! I love watching you create! I'm going to try turning the page as I glue down, what a wonderful idea. Thanks for pausing and letting me get a couple of snapshots so I remember the sizes and all the places I can find you. Hugs from Monroe, Georgia. USA
Thank you Vicki
I love this idea Ceri…. No waste.
I try never to waste.

What a great idea. This is a time saver and also great idea to use up those over flow pages that we don’t LOVE . haha
And your pleasant conversation is just icing on the cake . TYFS and TY for the screen shot .
Thank you and you’re welcome.
This is such a wonderful idea! Lots of interesting things going on in this page. Tearing the edges off the book pages while watching TV is a great idea that I will be doing! Thanks for the video.
Fabulous.
Always enjoy watching your videos 👍😉❣
Thank you Sharon.
Thank you Ceri, for a most fascinating tutorial! I love the project and love your store card template that you made! So clever.
Thank you so much!
I love this so much! I thought I was the only one who used a template--glad to see I am in great company.
Oh I couldn’t cope without templates.
Hi Ceri. This is your first video I've watched and absolutely love your style and methodology. Thank you for sharing
Thank you and welcome.
Ceri, I love these!!! I think they would work great for card fronts!!! ♥️♥️♥️
You’re right Cindi they would.
