I used to do journaling, but then I stopped as I thought I was doing it wrong. I've since started looking at journaling, and found out about junk journaling. This idea with minimalism is sort of what I was doing, but then I stopped. This video has been so helpful, and helped change my thoughts on what I was doing!
So happy to see you back. Sorry you fell under the weather. Illness is a miserable state. You have such an important voice in the junk journalling world to me because you ask questions, do research and then discuss. Not many people do that and I think that is an important aspect of … eh … developing an art form. I always enjoy watching your episodes no matter what you do. Thank you so much for sharing your passion and art with us. Happy you are on the mend! 💕💕💕💕💕
Long live clutter!! Haha! I love clutter and “busy” so on one hand I struggled w this bc I look at some minimalist work as unfinished or like they gave up. I cannot do less is more in any way, my home is full of vintage knicks and goodies from thrift stores. I have a lot of “things”…. Not hoarder style but I like and feel good with stuff. It feels safe. I grew up in a house w stuff but we were poor so maybe my aversion to minimalist is a direct reflection of having to go without as a kid. Bc, if I’m honest, minimalist makes me feel uncomfortable…. Like something is missing and what is missing is important. Not to go too deep here but the idea of a minimalist home or art makes me a bit anxious. It’s not enough. I can appreciate the idea of being minimalist in my art I suppose in theory. Clean lines and simple palettes sound refreshing and are uncomplicated, like spring. But, it’s ALL out in the open. No room for error, no hiding mistakes and no do-overs. Scary stuff haha! I really enjoyed this…. You made me think. Thanks for the mini therapy session…lol! Hope you are feeling better. Til next time…take care 💕
Thank you so much for this content. I’ve only been junk journal(ing) for a year now and I sometimes get pages where I don’t want to add anything but feel I have to. FREEDOM
I love to see how your thought process plays out! I really find your “education” videos informative. Almost like a digital book about all different types of journals! Very cool
Great video for me who is new to the Junk Journal world. I am trying to figure out my style ??? I haven’t come to a definite conclusion yet but am hopeful that will come with experience. Also have some problem with knowing when a page is finished. I like the minimalist concept and look so will definitely be trying it. Sorry you have been ill. Hope you continue to heal each day. I do so enjoy your calm enthusiasm. 😅
Hi Bree .. I just found your channel and it’s awesome! I like minimalism (if you could see my house you’d understand) lol. I think this style of journaling will suit me well. Thanks again😊
Great to see you are back! I only recently discovered your channel but have been binge watching. To me all of your journaling has a refreshing, seemingly minimal style.
I very much enjoy your videos because you give such a fresh perspective! You send me straight to my desk to try something different. Thank you for sharing your insights and inspiration with us.
I am new, just found u by searching for Starting to junk Journal….and this is exactly What i was searching for. I love to Dekorate Sites in my calenderf, so i wanted to start jj, but i reaaaaally dont like all this ovberwhelming Stuff and Full junk Journals. That is tooo much for my Brain 😅. Thanks for your Inspiration. Lg Dana
Thank you so much for this video…is so full of interesting stuff and inspiration for future projects…..I love the fact that you provide such meticulous and well researched information on concepts and styles. I love it, love it, love it!!
Hello! First time I watch you, and I like it! Refreshing to listen to thoughtful youtube content creater , à smart woman artist that doesn't have " the big head" 😉, and that talk about àa subject in a cool way. I dont June journal ( but thinking about it and wanted to see what people were doing in theirs. SO THANK YOU, you did inspired me!🤗
Great to have you back! Thank you for such a profound exploration of minimalist junk journaling. I'm currently in a search for my own style and I feel like minimalism is something that I'm drawn to. And thank you for great examples. I think I'm going to screenshot most of them and try to replicate to explore this style by practice.
Great to see you, Bree ❤️ Good topic. I already seen some minimalist junk journal pages on IG. I liked the idea, I’ve tried it. But I don’t think it will be my always go-to style to journaling :D I have a habit to add more stuff to the pages lol Tysm for sharing your thoughts & take care ❤️
Maximalist who appreciates all you minimalists (more junk for me!! just kidding). Ironically enough, because I inherited my parents house full of stuff, I STILL need to purge, to actually be able to do maximalism well. hehehe. Though, as you flipped through artists, the one that made (that always makes) my heart sing was Paul Klee. So perhaps I'm an Expressionist? Regardless, I love listening to you talk about styles, aesthetics, etc.
Yes!! This video is both entertaining and inspiring. We missed you. Thanks for explaining both m and M in Minimalism. That is a style of journaling I would like to challenge myself to use. I'm going to try the Photo a day December Daily challenge. I'm not sure how far I will get, but I am certainly intrigued. Thanks for coming back!!!
Very excited to watch this, I feel like this might be my style of junk journaling. I enjoy your teaching and explanation, glad you are well and back in this place!
This is so interesting! Most videos I have watched since I started with junk journaling a year ago about creating and journaling in junk journals have featured a lot of layers and lace etc. I like to build my jjs with self dyed paper because I like the feel of the texture. I think my style of decorating and journaling is a little bit reduced and muted but not actually minimalist. I don´t know. Some aspects of minimalism seem to fit, some don´t. I am still in the process to find out what I like. But that is the way art works, I think. Developing and trying new things! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!
Nice to have you back! I feel like sometimes I enjoy both. And maybe even in the same journal, because my eyes need to rest. It becomes visually noisy. A page that is full of clutter, and continues page after page, I find myself missing some of the details. Details that could be an essential part of what is being said. I really enjoy listening to the message(s) of your videos. Thanks! ❤ Tamara

Thank you for such a profound exploration of minimalist junk journaling. I'm currently in a search for my own style and I feel like minimalism is something that I'm drawn to.
And thank you for great examples. I think I'm going to screenshot most of them and try to replicate to explore this style by practice.
Pinterest is another great resource. "aesthetic journal" or "minimalist art journal" are good keywords to begin your search as well!
Beautifully put. I love the idea of a minimal approach especially during such busy time in my life. Also, artfully.
Thank you Paula! I'm glad you found some value.
Great to see you, Bree ❤️ Good topic. I already seen some minimalist junk journal pages on IG. I liked the idea, I’ve tried it. But I don’t think it will be my always go-to style to journaling :D I have a habit to add more stuff to the pages lol Tysm for sharing your thoughts & take care ❤️

Paul Klee is one of my favs too. The whole cubist expressionist movement is joy for me.
Great Video! I felt the audio was fine, lol. Sending you healing and abundance 💞💖
Thanks Shereen! I hope you're doing well too!

Great explanation between Minimalist and minimalist. I always feel so inspired after watching your videos. Thanks 😊

Thank you so much for sharing your insights and your kind words 🥰
Great video!! TYFS
Thanks for watching!
Been thinking about how making it more minimal, makes it more functional to actually journal in.
Yessss. This.
Good to see you back. Missed your videos.
Hey Lydia! Thank you! There's more to come 😎

Thank you Tamara! I’m happy that you found something useful in the video! 🥰
Welcome back! ✨
Thank you Skye!!! I hope you’re doing well 🥰
Niccee...making me think....love it;) S
I’ve missed you. I’ve needed inspiration.
Aw thank you Debbie! I'm happy that you came back to watch!
Love
Missed you!
I missed you too!
Truth.
I'm very interested in junk journals, but I don't like how they're overstuffed. Many don't seem like a journal so much as a collectable to look at.
White space, minimal.. let's just go buy a notebook!
😂
I prefer less than more
yessssss.

I found this interesting. Food for thought. 🩷
