The only thing I find more enjoyable than the sharing of your truly brilliant ideas ( you are a Paper Whiz! ) is listening to the sound of your soft voice as you explain them!! Thanks for what u do. I’ve been away from UA-cam for a while and I’ve enjoyed catching up and seeing what your brain has to offer up. Hugs… Belinda
Ahhhh Belinda. What a kind and thoughtful thing to say. I found you through a recommendation from Jibid Neary and I'm thrilled to hear that you're back! Life has not cooperated for me lately, but I plan/hope to share ideas again very soon!
Loved 🧡 the series and the Idea books are absolutely awesome 👍! You have a wonderful creative space, the signature rack is such a cool idea 💡! Thank you for sharing 🙏 and enjoy your time out and about 🙂
Cori I have truly loved this series and getting to know you!! I can't wait to go watch the flips, flaps, and folds series!! I also am looking forward to creating a similar journal because I have menopause brain and forget what I wanted to put on the pages!! Thank you so much for sharing your process with us, and as a fellow educator, your students are lucky to have you!! This is our 2nd school year back in person and to say it has been rough is an understatement. Thanks for the smiles you have put on this old girls face!! Always, Leslie
Bless you Leslie! Every time I whine about my 12-14 hour days, I remind myself that teaching virtually isn't as tough as teaching in person right now. I keep hearing about the challenges you face daily and my heart and thanks go out to you. Keep fighting the important fight and enjoy the mental health breaks that creating provide!
"You can take the Teacher out of Teaching : but you can't take the Teaching out . . . . " What's not to like? Your quiet calm voice - quality sound from your new microphone through my headphones; your professionalism which shines through the pages - always 'on task', no chit chat or nails (!!!) and your PATIENCE which you have in spades with we viewers who can't quite make out how you folded that envelope . . . I look forward with anticipation to Stamperia Forest - which I already have, but I may order another. An antidote to these troubled times which we live in. Carry on please. Jacky
Thank you Jacky, and though I’m loving every minute of my visit with friends, I’m also looking forward to completing and sharing the next journal project 😊
Thank you Cori for making all of these fun videos. I didn't start making them until you were finished but caught up quickly because of you making your videos short and right to the point and also because you had all your supplies at hand and ready to go. (I found this to be sooooooo refreshing and professional). Please don't slow down as you have stated some people don't "get it". I feel they should use the pause button because you are very clear in your directions. I don't watch many tutorials because they take too much time. But I LOVE LOVE LOVE yours! I finished this book in no time and used a different way than yours to put it together. I'm extremely happy with it and can't wait to see your next project. Keep up the great works and again, Thank You.
Hi Cori, apart from saying that this is an amazing culmination of your idea book series, I also wanted to send you a massive big thank you. I received your thank you card this week. You are so, so kind!!! It was not necessary at all. After all, I had only sent my happy mail to you because I wanted to thank *you* for sharing your brilliant art and ideas with us! However, your card (and included goodie ☕️) made my day. Huge thanks to you, and I am now looking forward to your next series here. Love from Ireland - Sonja xx
well! I have enjoyed this series so much! I got a late start but i did finish my my little scrap buster idea book. I was beginning to think i had bit off WAY more than i could chew. But i did finish. I have a new respect for just how much you put into these videos and projects that you share with us. A very heart felt thank you!
I can't believe how much work you did for us and to add the index and video list. You went overboard and I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. Beautiful journals and looking forward to trying all the ideas. Thank you so much. You deserve your holiday for sure. I will have withdrawals until you are back again....Thank you so much and take care.
I was lucky enough to purchase one of these incredible books. I just received it today. The craftsmanship is outstanding. Every detail a work of art. Thank you Cori for your time and dedication to your students. I am honored to support such an awesome teacher.
First want to say you are so incredibly talented and such a joy to watch create and are such an inspiration to me and so many others.... Thank you! The other mention I have is I just learned a valuable lesson after scrolling for at least 10min in my notifications list for this video after I had seen it pop up a couple days ago and was super excited about it. I was at an appt and could not pull it up and watch it at that moment so I just took a mental note that I would come back and watch it. So I come back now to find it and cannot for the life of me remember the name of your channel even though I watch you all the time! I think I am having pandemic brain or something! Lesson learned to SAVE the video next time when I see it! lol (Also I gotta try to use my memory muscle more!)
Hi Miss Cori, OHHHH MYYYY GOODNESSSSS THESE JOURNALS ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.........Just found you and will be binge watching your you tube videos to catch up.....NEW SUBBIE....... YOU ARE SOOOOOO VERY CLEVER................................Hugs🤗🤗🤗 and Kisses 🥰🥰🥰from Rhonda Laine Aussie Land xoxox STAY SAFE.......
Wow 😍👏👏👏👏 It is Amazing what you have done 👏👏👏 Im gonna make a journal following this series 😍 Thank you for sharing great tips and ideas 🙏 Thank you for all the work you have done to make this 👏❤❤❤🙏🏵🌻🌺🌼🌹🤗
Yay! There's that video playlist. Altho never did it by screenshot usually it's under the arrow before we get started to tell you which videos to do first before you get started on the book. And yes you're right Cori I'm new to your channel and didn't realize that the scrap buster videos was coming up to the main event of the scrap buster idea book. Again I love watching your tutorials and you are so very helpful and I am seeing more and more of the details that you actually put into it. And I thank you so much for that as a kind of newbie that is very helpful and more enjoyable. Big hugs.
Sending you a BIG THANKS for teaching us Big Kids ! Teaching does seem to be your calling I have a few more pages to do but I feel like a little kid I am so proud of myself and love my little book I am glad you are not grading them tho lol !
Lol! No participation trophies given here, but an A for effort and determination, for sure 😊 If you’re happy with your journal, then that gets a top grade!
Cori, I hope this finds you well, as you are probably back to school by now. I must say that I loved your series on your Idea Book. You are an amazing crafter!!! I regret not being able to purchase one of those books. I have been trying to purchase journals from my favorite designers. If you are taking orders for journals please let me know, as I would be honored to have one in my collection. I wanted you to know that I use your ink box every day and gifted one to my sister. She loves it too. It’s a life saver for me as I am not supposed to be putting my head below my heart. Needless to say the ink blender always rolled to the floor. Please feel free to email me when and if you have any journals for sale. Thanks again and happy crafting❣️❣️
You are so kind Sandy, thank you. I don't go back to school until after Labor Day, but life has been strangely busy and my creative time has been nonexistent lately. I do not do custom orders, but I've got 4 more idea books in the works and will list those when they are ready. I'll post before they go into the shop. Thank you very much for your interest.
Hopefully you will have a few days of rest before the start of classes. I know that is probably wishful thinking, as you have a classroom to organize and curriculum to plan. I will look forward to seeing your videos. As always, thanks for your your response. Have a safe and fun school year.
Thank you Cori! This is one of the best series for teaching how to use scraps. I appreciate that you explain things so clearly. You are such a great teacher!!!
This was AWESOME! I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and I plan to keep these videos and use them often. Thank you for sharing your talents so generously with us.
You are both very welcome! We all get stuck for ideas sometimes, so I’m hopeful that having them contained and easily accessible will help some folks 😊
Sad to be at the end of the series but it was a wonderful journey. The idea books are awesome! Thank you for sharing your time and artistry with us! I will be watching Cori “reruns” while you are gone.
Cori. I love your journal # with the monocramatic pages. It's beautiful. I'm going to save this video so that later I can go back and make all of them myself. I dont copy, just get the general idea and make it my own !I also like your multi syringed bow. Very well organized craft room. I like the way you have it organized ! I'm hoping to have a craft room doing maybe within the next year hopefully.
Hi June and thank you. That's why I share... to hopefully encourage and inspire others. Copy or not, I'm just happy something here has led you to making something new.
The series was so wonderful ! Thanks so. Much for taking the time. It really is a highlight of my day to watch one of your new videos or re-watch an old one . always fun because you put so many details it never gets old to watch the 2nd even 3rd time around. Enjoy your time off. Hugs
I have just now found your channel from Cara Brandon. She was right....you are AMAZING!!! Oh how I wish I had one of these journals/workbooks. I have been in such a rut lately. Getting stuff out and just looking at it. I will be watching you videos from start to finish. Thank you!
Hi Cori - I sure am missing you and your videos. I know school has begun so you must be so busy. I have two sisters who are teachers and it’s been a challenging school year for them so far! Hoping you, and your family, are well. Take care!
Thank you Paula! Life and school have kept me way too busy these last few months. I'm hoping to share a between-the-projects video this week, then FINALLY get to the Stamperia Forest project next week.
We are here whenever you find time for videos. In the meantime, I’m revisiting your previous videos. So much good stuff! Hopefully you are at least finding some creative time for yourself. Do take care, Cori!
Thank you, Cori! I am awarding you a Masters in Scrap Busting!!! You nailed it! 😘 I love your work, your attention to detail, your diligence and commitment, your passion for what you do and share and the list could go on! Really enjoy your break and the company of your friends in California! I’m looking forward to your journal making, however only after you’ve had time to relax. 😀💞
Thank you - for the showing and explanation of your books- so many great ideas. You are so organized- which keeps you from having a big mess 😄 Thank you again - have a great time with your school friends 💖🦋🌵
Cori, thank you SOOO much for this fabulous series!! I worked along with you and created an inspiration journal - LOVE it!! You share so willingly and generously and it is MUCH appreciated ❤️
Thank you for this amazing series. I really loved it. We had some family illnesses recently, so I am just catching up , but I look forward to trying several of these techniques in my projects. I know you are a teacher, and are probably back at school or getting ready for going back. But selfishly, I hope you have time to do more tutorials! You teach really clearly and well, and your artistic style is just beautiful.
So wonderful, I really do need to go back and watch the videos again from the very beginning. THANK YOU so much for sharing all of your hard (enjoyable) work. I love how full the pages are, neutrals never looked so good.
Enjoyed the video. You are very talented. I have a lot more to watch. I'm planning on making stuff as I watch each video. I tend to learn by doing. I notice you've been gone a lot more than a couple of weeks. I know that teaching is time consuming. Other teachers I have known have been very busy before the school year starts because of getting things ready for their classroom. However you said that you would not be teaching in a classroom this year. I hope you and your family are well. I hope you come back soon, I am looking forward to the forest themed journal. I happen to have the graphic 45. Thanks again for all your instructions thus far.
Hello Connie and thank you! I am teaching at our district's new online platform and the learning, planning and preparing process has been HUGE! Between life, some health issues and the needed hours to make learning as smooth and valuable for the kids as possible, I've been swamped! I have a short, between the projects type video planned for this week (fingers crossed!) and Stamperia Forest will begin next week. I've said that before, but maybe this time ....
So glad to get your reply. Sorry to hear about health issues, hope they are over with. Who says computers will make things easier? 🤪 That has not always been my experience. Looking forward to next video.
Please direct me to the video where you do the shiny almost glass look to some of your items...I have never seen this and do not know what it is called...You are the Queen of this journaling!!
Hi Becky and thank you! I make things shiny often and the product I use is Nuvo Crystal Glaze. Glossy Accents, Diamond Glaze and Crystal Lacquer are others that have a similar finish. Just dab a bit on the area you want t o be shiny, make sure to let it dry completely, and voila! Shiny bits that stand out.
I love these books so much, I’m sure they will sell the second they’re listed. This series has been amazingly thorough and rich in learning opportunities. You are a treasure, Cori. Enjoy your well deserved time off and then it will be so much fun to see the Forest journal. 🌲🐿 BTW, for the people who like screenshots, you can temporarily slow the playback down to 25% and that will give you plenty of time to make the shot. Then just speed it back up again.
I’ve been binging all of your videos and you are a creative genius. Your attention to detail puts you on a higher level of maker. I’ve been trying to find your Etsy store and am having a tough time. I would love to have the opportunity to purchase some items . I would especially hope to someday purchase one of your journals. You’re one of the best instructors that I’ve come across on UA-cam. Thanks so much for sharing your genius with all of us.
Oh, my son and I loved The War that Saved My Life!!! We read it two years ago in our homeschool. Loved it so much, we bought it’s sequel The war I Finally Won! Both are fantastic reads!!! Loved this video series, Cori. Thanks so much for taking the time to teach us! ❤️
You truly are amazing for making such an in depth video of your beautiful journals. Thank you so much for the tour of your creative space. I absolutely love it especially your “junk journal” sign.
That junk journal sign just makes my repurpose-loving heart happy. The only “new” items in my cave are my chair and the IKEA Raskog carts. Everything else is repurposed and started life as something else.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 absolutely gorgeous. Well done and a huge thank you for the sheer volume of work you have put into this as well as all the tips! I've never sewn anything that small or over a paperclips! Also tension adjustment scare me 😄. Love your workspace! Oh wow is that an antique singer? My craft space is in my bedroom but getting my L shaped desk to give more work area. Wow that cart is really sturdy! I hope you have a great time with your friends and enjoy your well deserved time away! We'll be here when you get back lol. Thank you so much for sharing everything with us 💖
It’s been my pleasure and I’m always happy to share ideas and what works for me. Isn’t that old “sample” Singer fabulous?! I found it at an antique mall in Alabama and knew it had to live with me 💕
Amazing how same things can look so different...the tree of them are súper and I have enjoyed every single video...many thanos for your time and great ideas...
Hello! Life....it's always life. And a reminder to myself that I need to make time for people. I have so much in the works... more coming soon, I promise!
Thanks for sharing your talent with us! Thanks for going a bit slower so we can take screen shots of the layouts. The timing was perfect! Love how organized your room is. I can’t wait to see what you make next.
Thank you Yvette. I’m the kind of person that works much more efficiently when my Soace is organized, so I try to think of things that will help with that.
Thank you, Cori, for being so generous with your time and ideas! I am busy making a couple of idea books based on yours and it is reinvigorating my creative being as this last year has been such a hard time for me and my son, I felt lost!! So thank you so much for sharing so much with us, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it.
This series was amazing. I truly enjoyed it. I like how well you explain everything and the attention to all the little details. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. You are awesome! 💕
Cori, I visited your Etsy store but there were no items. So, how do I purchase one of your journals? Can I commission one? Loving all the beautiful work, energy, creativity and love that you put into your journals. Hoping I can talk you into making me one!!! 💜💚💜 Pam
Wow just wow… finding your channel just recently I am thankful you recorded this series step by step so that I can start from the beginning. I really enjoy your style and the presentation of your artistry. What a gift you are sharing with all of us. Thank you Cori 😊 P.S. thx for the quick tour of your studio space!
Thouroghly enjoyed every video. Thank you for sharing. Can’t wait to see what’s next! PS now we have to see your backyard once complete ❤️😂 dandelions are underrated.
🤣 the backyard is a hot mess! Complete with (another!) new hole as Maggie has decided that she wants to hang out underneath the back deck 🤦♀️ But, deal. When it is presentable, I’ll share 😊
just an FYI, Emerald Creek both a Canadian and US website so we only pay US postage. Love you finished books. Have fun on your break. thanks as always for sharing.
Cori, Thank you for this series loved it..You have helped me so much not to over think my projects!! New to Junk Journaling I have learned so much!! Looking forward to your next journal!!
Cori, thank you so much! I know how much time it takes to put these videos together. Sure do appreciate it! I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this series. Looking forward to the next. 😁 I am going to start working through the flip flops and folds. So fun! Kristi
Thank you so much for your sewing demo... it was very helpful! I have a basic Brother machine I will use for paper, but seeing your basics can be helpful for any machine! TFS!
My pleasure! I’m sure the seasoned and talented seamstresses here are cringing, but it’s what works for me, so hopefully it will benefit someone else too 😊
Love the things you do and how you “show & tell” us every step. The written instructions are a bonus! Thank you so much!
It's truly my pleasure SusanMarie. Thank you!
I miss you. I binge watched to catch up on all your series- now it’s Cold Turkey! I’m having withdrawal symptoms!!!
LOL! You and me both! My craft cave misses me and oh man, do I miss it! My fingers are crossed that tomorrow works out for some craft and share time.
The only thing I find more enjoyable than the sharing of your truly brilliant ideas ( you are a Paper Whiz! ) is listening to the sound of your soft voice as you explain them!! Thanks for what u do. I’ve been away from UA-cam for a while and I’ve enjoyed catching up and seeing what your brain has to offer up. Hugs… Belinda
Ahhhh Belinda. What a kind and thoughtful thing to say. I found you through a recommendation from Jibid Neary and I'm thrilled to hear that you're back! Life has not cooperated for me lately, but I plan/hope to share ideas again very soon!
Loved 🧡 the series and the Idea books are absolutely awesome 👍! You have a wonderful creative space, the signature rack is such a cool idea 💡! Thank you for sharing 🙏 and enjoy your time out and about 🙂
These j.j.'s r this best n most awesome books I've ever seen made!!!!! THE COOLEST!!!!! KIM
I just finished mine tonight, a year after you did the videos!! It took me a month, and I had a blast! Thank you for all you do!
You are so welcome! I've got got plenty of projects to complete 😊
I thoroughly enjoy your channel. 😊
I'm so glad and thank you for taking the time to comment ❤️

I enjoy these idea book projects. I wish it would never end. 👍
I have really enjoyed this series too, so perhaps I’ll pop back in once in a while as new scrap buster ideas occur 😊
Thank you Cori, and you have such a nice and organized space! Love it,
Thank you. It’s a continual work in progress, but I’m grateful to have it 😊
I only just came across this video now. I love it, it really appeals to the way my brain works 😂!!
So organized!! Thank you so very much ❤
Thank you, Linn, and welcome! I hope you'll be able to use some of the ideas shared here.
well! I have enjoyed this series so much! I got a late start but i did finish my my little scrap buster idea book. I was beginning to think i had bit off WAY more than i could chew. But i did finish. I have a new respect for just how much you put into these videos and projects that you share with us. A very heart felt thank you!
Woo Hoo! I'm with you there. I also thought I'd bitten off more than I could handle. Congratulations on finishing the project!
I can't believe how much work you did for us and to add the index and video list. You went overboard and I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. Beautiful journals and looking forward to trying all the ideas. Thank you so much. You deserve your holiday for sure. I will have withdrawals until you are back again....Thank you so much and take care.
Thank you and it truly has been fun to work through these ideas and journals. I’m happy to have you along 😊
I’ve already commented but did I say this is AMAZING!! What a great idea! :)
Thank you so much for doing this series! I have learned so much. Your generosity is beyond compare. What a gift you have given us!

Vos créations sont vraiment magnifiques. Je vais essayer de faire un album en regardant toutes vos vidéos. Encore merci pour vos explications
Merci! Though I understood what you said, my French is too old and rusty to reply in kind. Happy creating!

Thank you for your inspiration 🥰. You are the best part of my day. This is my current project ❤️

I hope this finds you well, as you are probably back to school by now.
I must say that I loved your series on your Idea Book. You are an amazing crafter!!! I regret not being able to purchase one of those books.

Thank you for your ideas. You are teaching me a lot!
You're very welcome Debra. Happy creating!
This was AWESOME! I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and I plan to keep these videos and use them often. Thank you for sharing your talents so generously with us.
So have I kept them for future ideas. These are great - so many different ideas I haven’t seen anywhere else……Many Thanks.
You are both very welcome! We all get stuck for ideas sometimes, so I’m hopeful that having them contained and easily accessible will help some folks 😊

So pretty!

The series was so wonderful ! Thanks so. Much for taking the time. It really is a highlight of my day to watch one of your new videos or re-watch an old one . always fun because you put so many details it never gets old to watch the 2nd even 3rd time around. Enjoy your time off. Hugs
What a sweet comment. Thank you and it truly has been my pleasure.
I have just now found your channel from Cara Brandon. She was right....you are AMAZING!!! Oh how I wish I had one of these journals/workbooks. I have been in such a rut lately. Getting stuff out and just looking at it. I will be watching you videos from start to finish. Thank you!
Thank you, welcome, and happy creating! The ideas are ready for you when time/life allow 😊
Hi Cori - I sure am missing you and your videos. I know school has begun so you must be so busy. I have two sisters who are teachers and it’s been a challenging school year for them so far! Hoping you, and your family, are well. Take care!
Thank you Paula! Life and school have kept me way too busy these last few months. I'm hoping to share a between-the-projects video this week, then FINALLY get to the Stamperia Forest project next week.
We are here whenever you find time for videos. In the meantime, I’m revisiting your previous videos. So much good stuff! Hopefully you are at least finding some creative time for yourself. Do take care, Cori!
Thank you for sharing this. I thoroughly enjoy your wonderful expertise. The journals are truly lovely.
Thank you Cathy 😊
Thank you, Cori! I am awarding you a Masters in Scrap Busting!!! You nailed it! 😘 I love your work, your attention to detail, your diligence and commitment, your passion for what you do and share and the list could go on! Really enjoy your break and the company of your friends in California! I’m looking forward to your journal making, however only after you’ve had time to relax. 😀💞
You’re too sweet Keryn and just to let you know, that is one award/degree I’ll hang on my wall 🤣
Amazing series Cori -thank you so much for so many wonderful ideas and sharing your time so generously 😊
It’s been my pleasure Jane and thank you 😊
Love all your work

Hi Cori. Scrapbooking with Me sent me. New subbie here!
Hello and welcome 😊
Thank you - for the showing and explanation of your books- so many great ideas. You are so organized- which keeps you from having a big mess 😄 Thank you again - have a great time with your school friends 💖🦋🌵
I love this series and will be referring to it occasionally…..enjoy your visit with friends….
I just found your channel, beautiful books I will love to follow you
Thank you Ruthann, and welcome!
Cori, thank you SOOO much for this fabulous series!! I worked along with you and created an inspiration journal - LOVE it!! You share so willingly and generously and it is MUCH appreciated ❤️
You are very welcome 😊
Thank you for this amazing series. I really loved it. We had some family illnesses recently, so I am just catching up , but I look forward to trying several of these techniques in my projects. I know you are a teacher, and are probably back at school or getting ready for going back. But selfishly, I hope you have time to do more tutorials! You teach really clearly and well, and your artistic style is just beautiful.
Thank you Ann and I'm sorry for your illnesses. School and like have kept me busy, but I'm hoping to make a video soon!
New subscriber, suggested by Edith from scrapbooking with me. Thought you might enjoy that she has mentioned and linked your channel.
Thank you Evelyn and welcome! I will go over and let her know that I appreciate her :)
Awesome series! I learned soooo much! You are such a patient and precise teacher. I love all you do. 💗 Thanks so much for sharing. 🤗
You’re most welcome Nancy 💕
It was so much fun watching you do this from beginning to end. The journals are fantastic in every way! Looking forward to the next project!
Thank you 😊
So wonderful, I really do need to go back and watch the videos again from the very beginning.
THANK YOU so much for sharing all of your hard (enjoyable) work. I love how full the pages are, neutrals never looked so good.
PS, lovelovelove your studio. I love being able to see everything while I'm working too
It has really been my pleasure and a craft space that works with you is important, so I’m happy to share ideas 😊
Enjoyed the video. You are very talented. I have a lot more to watch. I'm planning on making stuff as I watch each video. I tend to learn by doing. I notice you've been gone a lot more than a couple of weeks. I know that teaching is time consuming. Other teachers I have known have been very busy before the school year starts because of getting things ready for their classroom. However you said that you would not be teaching in a classroom this year. I hope you and your family are well. I hope you come back soon, I am looking forward to the forest themed journal. I happen to have the graphic 45. Thanks again for all your instructions thus far.
Hello Connie and thank you! I am teaching at our district's new online platform and the learning, planning and preparing process has been HUGE! Between life, some health issues and the needed hours to make learning as smooth and valuable for the kids as possible, I've been swamped! I have a short, between the projects type video planned for this week (fingers crossed!) and Stamperia Forest will begin next week. I've said that before, but maybe this time ....
So glad to get your reply. Sorry to hear about health issues, hope they are over with. Who says computers will make things easier? 🤪 That has not always been my experience. Looking forward to next video.
Please direct me to the video where you do the shiny almost glass look to some of your items...I have never seen this and do not know what it is called...You are the Queen of this journaling!!
Hi Becky and thank you! I make things shiny often and the product I use is Nuvo Crystal Glaze. Glossy Accents, Diamond Glaze and Crystal Lacquer are others that have a similar finish. Just dab a bit on the area you want t o be shiny, make sure to let it dry completely, and voila! Shiny bits that stand out.
I love these books so much, I’m sure they will sell the second they’re listed. This series has been amazingly thorough and rich in learning opportunities. You are a treasure, Cori. Enjoy your well deserved time off and then it will be so much fun to see the Forest journal. 🌲🐿
BTW, for the people who like screenshots, you can temporarily slow the playback down to 25% and that will give you plenty of time to make the shot. Then just speed it back up again.
Excellent idea to slow it down! Thank you Denise. I’m hoping to learn how to make better videos this summer, but it is flying by quickly!
You are so very kind to share this information!
I’m happy to share 😊
I’ve been binging all of your videos and you are a creative genius. Your attention to detail puts you on a higher level of maker. I’ve been trying to find your
Etsy store and am having a tough time. I would love to have the opportunity to purchase some items . I would especially hope to someday purchase one of your journals. You’re one of the best instructors that I’ve come across on UA-cam. Thanks so much for sharing your genius with all of us.
Thank you Linda 💕 My shop is Etsy.com/shop/CreatingWithScraps and I have more things to list when I return from CA 😊
Oh, my son and I loved The War that Saved My Life!!! We read it two years ago in our homeschool. Loved it so much, we bought it’s sequel The war I Finally Won! Both are fantastic reads!!! Loved this video series, Cori. Thanks so much for taking the time to teach us! ❤️
My pleasure Julie and that you for the recommendation. I’m looking forward to exploring that novel with my students 💕
Super fantastic - I just stumbled upon this little gem and will be using your reference system to go back and devour this lovely feast of creativity 💕
Thanks again for sharing your talent, have learnt a lot since finding your channel!
That makes my teacher heart happy to hear. Thank you 😊
You truly are amazing for making such an in depth video of your beautiful journals. Thank you so much for the tour of your creative space. I absolutely love it especially your “junk journal” sign.
That junk journal sign just makes my repurpose-loving heart happy. The only “new” items in my cave are my chair and the IKEA Raskog carts. Everything else is repurposed and started life as something else.
Wonderful
Thank you Vania!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 absolutely gorgeous. Well done and a huge thank you for the sheer volume of work you have put into this as well as all the tips! I've never sewn anything that small or over a paperclips! Also tension adjustment scare me 😄. Love your workspace! Oh wow is that an antique singer? My craft space is in my bedroom but getting my L shaped desk to give more work area. Wow that cart is really sturdy! I hope you have a great time with your friends and enjoy your well deserved time away! We'll be here when you get back lol. Thank you so much for sharing everything with us 💖
It’s been my pleasure and I’m always happy to share ideas and what works for me. Isn’t that old “sample” Singer fabulous?! I found it at an antique mall in Alabama and knew it had to live with me 💕
It's wonderful! I think it's in it's rightful home now!
Amazing how same things can look so different...the tree of them are súper and I have enjoyed every single video...many thanos for your time and great ideas...
You’re very welcome and I’m happy you’ve enjoyed the series 😊
This was great! Love what you do. And thank you for all your sharing and questions you answer!!
Thank you Hope and creating the series has been my pleasure 😊
Great series Cori! What a labor of love! I'm excited to craft the Stamperia Forest Journal!
Me too Nancy! It’s about darn time, right? I think I got that paper in February or March 🤣
Cori, I hope all is well... I miss your videos! Would love to see what your wishing on😁
Hello! Life....it's always life. And a reminder to myself that I need to make time for people. I have so much in the works... more coming soon, I promise!

I’m a little sorry it’s ended too, but I’m looking forward to the next projects. It has truly been my pleasure 😊
Thanks for sharing your talent with us! Thanks for going a bit slower so we can take screen shots of the layouts. The timing was perfect! Love how organized your room is. I can’t wait to see what you make next.
Thank you Yvette. I’m the kind of person that works much more efficiently when my Soace is organized, so I try to think of things that will help with that.
Amazing series! Thanks so much! I have learned so very much.
Thank you, Cori, for being so generous with your time and ideas! I am busy making a couple of idea books based on yours and it is reinvigorating my creative being as this last year has been such a hard time for me and my son, I felt lost!! So thank you so much for sharing so much with us, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it.
You are very welcome and I’m glad to hear that the series has helped you out 💕
This series was amazing. I truly enjoyed it. I like how well you explain everything and the attention to all the little details. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. You are awesome! 💕
Thank you Deborah and right back at you with the awesomeness 😊💕
Awesome series, Cori! Thank you!
You’re very welcome 😊
The grand finale!!!!!
Cori, I visited your Etsy store but there were no items. So, how do I purchase one of your journals? Can I commission one? Loving all the beautiful work, energy, creativity and love that you put into your journals. Hoping I can talk you into making me one!!! 💜💚💜 Pam
Amazing album! Thank you for the inspiration and instructions! 😊
My pleasure Martha and thank you 😊
Wow just wow… finding your channel just recently I am thankful you recorded this series step by step so that I can start from the beginning. I really enjoy your style and the presentation of your artistry. What a gift you are sharing with all of us. Thank you Cori 😊 P.S. thx for the quick tour of your studio space!
Thank you Sarah and welcome! My approach isn’t a standard junk journal, but it works for me. I’m glad you’re enjoying it 😊
Hi Cori, I love your channel and videos, I'm curious if you've watched Mrs Coggs at all, she's awesome to TFS!
She was my very first UA-cam video junk journal watch. Amazing lady!
Thouroghly enjoyed every video. Thank you for sharing. Can’t wait to see what’s next! PS now we have to see your backyard once complete ❤️😂 dandelions are underrated.
🤣 the backyard is a hot mess! Complete with (another!) new hole as Maggie has decided that she wants to hang out underneath the back deck 🤦♀️ But, deal. When it is presentable, I’ll share 😊
just an FYI, Emerald Creek both a Canadian and US website so we only pay US postage. Love you finished books. Have fun on your break. thanks as always for sharing.
Thank you very much for letting me know! I clearly didn’t look closely enough at where my beeswax EP is coming from ❤️
Epic journey Cori, loved every minute of it, thank you for all your hard work :)
It’s been my pleasure Gaye, and thank you for your kindness and incredible creativity 💕
Cori, Thank you for this series loved it..You have helped me so much not to over think my projects!! New to Junk Journaling I have learned so much!! Looking forward to your next journal!!
Thank you Connie and welcome to the addiction 😊
Thanks so much Cori. I just love this idea book and your explanations are exact and so helpful. I am a newbie, obviously.
THANK YOU !!!!!!! I so appreciate the screen shots and I did all 3 books😊. You are such a wonderful teacher!!!
Cori, thank you so much! I know how much time it takes to put these videos together. Sure do appreciate it! I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this series. Looking forward to the next. 😁
I am going to start working through the flip flops and folds. So fun!
Kristi
Finishing up that book and series is on
My (lengthy) to-do list this summer. But, TJ’s is me, so 🐿 is a definite possibility 😊
Thank you so much for your sewing demo... it was very helpful! I have a basic Brother machine I will use for paper, but seeing your basics can be helpful for any machine! TFS!
My pleasure! I’m sure the seasoned and talented seamstresses here are cringing, but it’s what works for me, so hopefully it will benefit someone else too 😊
