SHAKE UP YOUR SIGNATURES with random papers you wouldn’t use anywhere else |

- You don’t need the basic 8 1/2 -by-11 folded papers for your junk journal page signatures. Why not glue together junk mail, book pages, and other larger scraps from your bin into a long scroll of paper - creating a sort of FrankenPage - then let the individual cuts fall where they may? That’s what I did here, and I’m delighted with the cobbled-together look of it all.

If you’re looking for more junk journal ponderings…. Last summer, I made a limited-series podcast about all my deep thoughts regarding junk journaling. It’s free on the Spotify app! Search for “Ordinary Paper” or link here:

Note that in the first episode, I mention that I was doing a podcast because I didn’t think I had enough ideas for a UA-cam channel. Things (happily) went a different way, so ummm, never mind on that!
Wow ❤ I must try this because I agonize over collecting pages for my signatures. Love the randomness of it! Connie's fabric tape is great too! 🥰🇨🇦
Clearly, I hadn't been happy with my signature assembly for awhile, either! This really snapped me out of it! Thanks for watching, Leah - and yes, Connie's fabric tape is awesome (I inadvertently called it "paper tape" a couple of times but I'm glad you - and Connie! - followed the idea anyway!)
When you were gluing the papers together, I thought no way! But it really turned out amazing! I can't wait to try it!
Diedre, thank you so much! It was a bit of a leap of faith, but I knew I had to try it! Yours will be amazing, I know! Thanks for watching!
Now that is really a true junk journal. I love it. Its funny how things line up sometimes without planning. Thanks anne for coming up with easy but thoughtful ideas😊❤
You are so welcome, Suzy, I appreciate you as always!
Hi, Anne! With this freestyle journal, waste no more.and we can save nature´s resources. Love this video! TFS!🩷🌹🌹
You're so kind, thank you! And yes, it's great when we can minimize our consumption of paper resources and simply upcycle - thanks for watching, I appreciate you!
What an amazing journal! This would be so great to do as an early introduction to junk journaling with kids or seniors crafting classes. No stress, not much expense, and random ephemera that has been created to learn to the process. WOW! ❤😊
I REALLY liked the flippy pad sewn to the page. I just love watching to learn and be inspired by you. My friend and I are working together weekly creating a journal. I learn and practice from watching you, Natasha, Gayle, etc. , then I teach her how to make. We are having a ball 🎉❤😊. Thanks for all you share.
Oh, Pam, this makes me so happy - what special times you are creating with your friend. I feel so honored to be part of it. Thank you so much for watching, as always.
I love this. It’s so random. A great lesson in not taking journal making so seriously. Thanks so much.
Random it is, that's for sure! So glad you enjoyed it, Mary - thank YOU!
This is great! It’s refreshing to see someone doing a journal with only junk. I have nothing against digitals but this is truly a junk journal. This is fun, I’ll definitely be making one. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for this kind thought! I have a weird relationship with digitals myself. I admire the artists who make and sell them, but somehow, at least for me, a journal with a lot of digitals ends up looking like something anyone else can make. I like individuality, even when it's kooky! Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!
I love this and I love watching Natasa too. Thanks again.😊
Thank you so much for watching! This technique has become one of my favorites. I use it all the time now!
nods and smiles affectionately. Oh yeah this is a really good idea! Gonna give this a go today! Hugs, Gina B 💕😍💖🥰❤
Hugs right back to you, Gina! Thanks so much for watching, and have fun with your own FrankenPages!
😊when you started I thought oh God how is this going to work but I really love the end result 😊 good job
More suspense than a Hitchcock movie, right? haha! Thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate it.
The randomness is very freeing! Love the result you got!
Thanks, Ruth! I agree, it really opened things up mentally for me! I appreciate your watching!
Anne I look forward to your videos. You amaze me every time. Love all of your ideas. Thank you for showing us how to be a little kooky!
Dayna, you are so kind, thank you! If anyone's amazed, my friend, it's ME - amazed that people are enjoying my creative wanderings! Thank you so much, I so appreciate your support!
Love the journal Anne!...I also LOVE your friend's MATERIAL TAPE...YES PLEASE! ❤B
Thanks, Brian! I talked to Connie this afternoon and she will gladly share her technique for fabric tape with me, so we'll do it soon! Take care, friend!
@@annekenlon excited...staying tuned!
"It's messy, it's grungy, it's kooky..." sounds like you know me well!! 😂 I really want to give this a try!!
Thanks, Judy! I've gotten so I'm not afraid of the messy, grungy, and kooky! I really appreciate your watching, than you so much - yours will be terrific, I know!
Thanks for the inspiration! I made a "scroll" out of random sized gel prints with gluestick, then cut into managable sheets. Then I sewed the seams with my sewing machine and used and 8.5x11 template to cut finished pages. I love them so much. I will use in my next journal which will include lots of whimsy.
Oh, I'm so happy to know this worked for you! I do think it's a delightful process and there's a spontaneity to it that is worth a lot to me. Thanks so much for letting me know you tried it, I'm truly excited! Yay!
Nik the Booksmith coined the phrase "Franken" papers. I really like your take on this, very inspiring!
I salute Nik! I've seen lots of folks since then patch together lots of papers for a single page (a technique I also love) - it was fun this time make a whole scroll-like thing for a signature. Thanks so much for watching, I hope you try it soon - and so many of us are inspired by Nik!
I was thinking the way you described it sounded like the Adam's Family! I was humming their theme song! Lol
Oh, I know it well! How funny! Now we can sing it together - they're creepy and they're kooky...mysterious and spooky...they're altogether ooky...the Addams Family! Thanks for watching!
I've enjoyed this video from beginning to end. What fun! Great ideas for both novice and "pro". I love making junk journals, my "craft/office/storage space is full of items that I have been saving up for just such a project, only I didn't realize it. Thank you. I must get busy now. 🥰
Mandy, this thrills me, you have no idea! I hope you're having a fantastic time creating your own fabulous signature! Thanks so much for watching!
What a great way to make signatures. Love these
Thanks so much! It's pretty amazing how it just seems to work, and really does seem to add a vitality to journal pages.
🎉This is Fantastic 🎉
Re-purpose Re-use 😀
Truly, I think this style of creating signatures is wonderful. The window envelopes work so well in this style or technique. (would you call it a style or a technique?)
The addition of some writing spaces are nice 😊 The sewing in of a tablet is genius 👌
I Love Love Love this journal. Many Thanks for sharing. Definitely a "Must Do" item.❤
Julie, THANK YOU as always. I love trading ideas with you!
@@annekenlon I am excited about doing more Anne creations! 😃
I love this idea - it makes it so easy to create pages that are fun and creative without the stress!! I have glued and cut mine - looking forward to sewing on them and putting it together!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you so much, Lisa! You've likely done yours by now - I bet it turned out great! Thanks for watching!
This is a cool idea. I am going to try this for my Messy May or Junk Journal July signatures.
Messy May!!! I love that! I'll look for the hashtag. So glad you can use this, and thanks for watching!
Another great idea, Anne! Love this concept for a signature! Thanks for sharing! Sue😊❤
Thank you so much, Sue! I'm delighted you enjoyed it!
This was a super fun project Anne. I was working along with you and I'm really loving all the franken pages. Thanks for your great tutorial!
I'm so honored that you'd be crafting right along with me! Thanks for letting me know that, it means so much!
I absolutely LOVE this!!!! I watched it yesterday, and I just got done pulling papers/items together. I can't wait to get started. Thank you!!!!
Nadine, it makes me SO happy to read this! Thank you so much! How'd it go? I bet your patched-together pages are fantastic! Did you have fun?
@annekenlon It went really well. I'm still working on sewing certain pages and adding bits and pieces. I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to seeing the end result. I may make it into my idea book, but not sure yet. ❤️
A real junk journal! Great video 😊
Thank you so much, Susan!
So very interesting!
Thanks, Mary! I hope you try it soon - have fun!
Such a great idea!!! Thank you for sharing this. I will definitely try this one.
Thank you so much! I'm excited for you to try it, too - it's so easy and results are so unexpected! Have fun!
love! this is my technique for my wee folios of frippery. I love the idea of doing it for a larger journal!
Wonderful! Your frippery will be fabulous! Thanks for watching!
Love this idea!!
So glad! Thanks for watching!
Working on making my own scrap paper snippet. I made washi tape with masking tape similar process.
This is my kind of recycling ❤️
Glad we think alike on this! Thanks so much, Shelly!
That was pretty cool to watch. So unique and you're right, it looked like fun on a page! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! Yes, it was little weird to do, but I loved the process and the result so much - and I'm delighted you enjoyed it as well!
@@annekenlon 😊
Wonderful! I would love to write in that journal. Great idea
Thank you so much! Yes, I plan on writing in this one a lot! Thanks for watching!
I love this!! I’ve received so much scrap paper for a workshop I’m going to teach. I don’t think all of it is usable but I think I’ll use it for this! Thank you for sharing
Thanks, Jennifer! I hope you enjoy the technique - I find myself using it regularly now, and some pages work out better than others, but each one is unique and special in its own way - as we all are! Thanks for watching!
I love this idea❤ I have grabbed a bunch of papers to do my own! Thanks for sharing 😊
Wonderful! I'm sure yours turned out great, Susie - let me know, OK? Thanks for watching!
Great idea! I’m definitely going to try this.
Thank you so much - I hope you do try it! I actually used the technique again in a journal I'm going to post on Tuesday - it just seems to work, and I love the look! Thanks for watching!
Great ideas!
Thank you! 😊
Love this idea thank you. New subbie. I have just gotten into using more household items, true junk!
Kim, I'm so delighted you have joined me here! I definitely share your idea of using "true junk" in junk journals! There are times when the beautiful digitals are useful, but I feel a lot better about using stuff I'd otherwise throw away, like packaging and junk mail. Thanks for watching, lots more fun stuff to come!
At 8:17 when you glued the not so liked paper to the pink envelope-did you notice how the heart in the flowery paper joined the line in the pink paper? It ended up being on a fold I think. But that was cool. And I kinda liked the flowery paper (70’s flare?).
Amazing that you ended up with just the right length of paper - what are the chances when you’re gluing odds and ends together?!?
This is a very interesting idea/completed journal.
I noticed you switched the flowers out in the flower pot (or made a new one?). Looked very nice.
I have yet to create but I do ponder quite a bit (surprise!!?!) and I’ve wondered about window envelopes placed here and there in pages where you see the next page. This would do that.
The Amazon packing and other print from the printed junk mail worked out quite cool with how you left and embellished it.
Still can’t believe it was just the right length!
The intermittent stitching, especially in the piece of paper you don’t quite like turned out very unique and flattered the pages.
Lots of detail showed up in “new” ways. Aren’t you glad you tried this? Wonder what else you’ll do with this creative page option.
Oh yeah, fabric tape. How cool is that!!!
And so quickly done. Which highlights my (unnecessary) procrastination!! 😂
My dryer, washer and dishwasher play those kinds of tunes. One day they went off either on top or in close proximity of each other. My son hadn’t heard this before since he visits and doesn’t live here. But it gave him a good chuckle. And I have a pill wheel which would signal as well, not sing but signal) so sometimes it’s quite melodic to noisy here! And bells on the door which the little dog knew right away to ring when he wanted out.
Okay ‘nuff rambling.
Enjoyed watching, learning and pondering! Thanks. ❤
Ramble away, Jenn, I always enjoy your ponderings! Yes, the musical interludes are everywhere at our house, too - washer, dryer, microwave, and the gizmo that reminds us to change the water filter on the fridge! Thanks as always!
@@annekenlon ❣️
I love it!
Thanks, Denise!
Love it
Thank you so much! Hope you try it!
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much, Diane!
Love this!!!! I going to have to try this!! Btw, I’m in a group that we have a challenge (ABC) where we are featuring an artist. I have chosen you as my featured artist. Just thought I would let you know!!!
That’s why I came back. To see hers. As I did watch your video as well.
@@kymlafontaine1162 thank you
Ava, this is so very kind of you - thank you so much, I feel very honored! I will stop by your channel this evening and check out the fun! Thanks again, I really appreciate you!
@@annekenlonyou are welcome!! You have inspired me and as I do this challenge you inspire me even more!!!
I want to see the "junk mail journal" please! I have saved too many envelopes and need a way to use them up, and you talked about writing on the inside of the envelopes. Do you have a video of it? I could really use some inspiration!!
Elizabeth, thanks so much for your interest in this! Yes, I definitely have a video on this - I used junk mail and a lot of other stuff I diverted from my recycling bin.
Here's the first one: ua-cam.com/video/45cUEBH9MFw/v-deo.htmlsi=Td2dFH2D552-O-1i
And the wrap-up: ua-cam.com/video/URSQOfJO5Mo/v-deo.htmlsi=qnPE-ib40BKZ_fhr
The journal with the sugar bag cover is the one I use constantly - it's for my lists and reflections on UA-cam projects, and it's almost full! I'll start on the second one soon - and I may make more! Have fun using your junk mail, it's fantastic! And thanks for watching.
@@annekenlon Thank you! Those are Awesome!! You have definitely given me some ideas. I am saving these in my favorites so I can refer back to them as needed.
