I’m not sure who keeps making these negative remarks, but this is an idea book, journal, a beautiful work of art , and obviously so much love and joy went into this. This has been the most informative and in depth series I have yet to see and have enjoyed it enough to watch it several time.
There seems to be a lot of “joy stealers” running around YT lately - curmudgeons attacking our favorite artists with mean, pointless comments! You and our dear Gayle deserve only love, kindness and thanks for all you share with us!! Apparently their moms never told them “if you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all.” You are loved and deeply appreciated! Thank you, Cori!
Thank you for the sweet pep talk Barb. I DO value and appreciate constructive feedback, with emphasis on "constructive". Lord knows, I still have a lot to learn!
Barb, I had a 4-H leader that if anyone,, and I mean anyone!, said something negative or unkind, they had to say 3 positives before our meeting could continue. We learned very fast to not be a ‘Nellie' as she would refer to you if you got negative,,, thankful we had no Nellies in our club or she would have needed a different name, lol
They do it for attention, (perhaps their mothers don’t love them enough). Whatever, the best thing we can do is ignore them, don’t give them any attention or words.
Your idea journal is beautiful Cori! I’ll never understand why people find the need to criticize the process or content. You are offering up your knowledge for free and people should either take it or leave it. Thank you for continuing to bring your content even when your life gets busy!
I found when people try to manage your Vedic they are really unable to do one themselves. Best to say great idea what Chanel are you one and how’s that working for you. Have a pat answer. I sold real estate and found people always suggesting how I should do things.
Watched and will watch again and again. Thank you for every little, medium, large and extra large technique you share. You are a blessing to 99.9% of your viewers. So sorry for the naysayer. Please keep on .
@@CoriDahmen As I have recently taught my friend who has a laptop for the very first time and was being deafened by Zoom meetings, there is volume control. Just turn the sound to the level that is comfy for your ears. It helped her. ;) LOL
@cdscrappin I would enjoy hearing you, even 2 years later! But actually, I just found you! Between you, and Natasa at Treasure books, I love hearing your thoughts and processes.
Who in the H. E. Double Toothpicks criticizes something for being too artistic and beautiful? Or thinks they should manage someone else’s artwork? So appreciate how you make my head spin.
I was just listening to that part. Here's my thought....educate yourself (if you don't know things about jj) AND if you don't care for someone's presentation style......don't watch!!! (exercise self control!!!) Cori do whatever works for you!!! We're all fine!!!
Love you all. I don’t mind the criticism… I appreciate the opportunity to learn!… I’m just not a fan of folks stating something must be done a specific way. It all works!
Exactly! Some people seem to think these videos are made specifically for them, and therefore, should be to their exact liking. If they're so perfect that they feel they can criticize someone else's work, why aren't they out there making their own videos instead of watching learning/idea videos? SMH
I absolutely love everything in your journal. Your comment on doing what you like was perfect for me. I don’t like writing in journals but I love making all the neat things for them. I really enjoy following all your videos.
Right! I always thought keeping a diary was boor-ing as a girl. (My mom thought it would help my handwriting) I wanted to cut and glue paper, fold it, paint it, draw on it, Not do homework in disguise!
I’m well into my 70’s & my son has asked me to make a journal of my life, (changing times, that sort of thing). I won’t make a large one, but this video has given me so many different ideas for decorating the pages, so thanks for that.
YOU are the person who got me started 8n to paper crafting. I got addicted very quickly watching your videos. I followed all your Flips, Flaps, and Folds videos and my brain just went wild with my new art hobby. Your projects are so intriguing and artsy and you are an excellent instructor. I cannot even count the number of cards I have made since then. I make about 5-6 cards at a time and mail them to family and friends. Thank you for the inspiration!
I was thinking this "idea book" is going to be a beautiful heritage gift your great grand children will cherish. You do you. Thank you for taking us along on your journey.
Beautiful. Love love love it…thank you for so many ideas as I am just starting out. Don’t understand why people watch a video then find the need to be negative and give you all THEIR should do’s. That’s what I love about creating journals, they are the way we like them and what brings us joy, not to please anyone else but us.
Don't listen to those negative comments. I have been watching tutorials for about 3 months now and I just found you. I lovve your style you have given me so many ideas. Love all the folders, tucks,, etc. I am making some of your stuff. Please don't stop doing what you are doing. The best ideas I have seen. Good on you girl.
I honestly can not believe the negative comments that you're receiving. You are such a creative book maker and have helped so much. If they don't like what you do then why are they watching? I'm so sorry that their comments are making you sad, that's sad to me. Keep doing what you're doing, most of us love it.
Hi I just love watching teacher who craft yous go into detail and I love the way you list and most time things I forget. Don’t listen to the neg people I don’t see there work on crafting chows your work is always so clear and I love the detail thank you for trusting your knowledge with us thank sincerly Liz ont Canada
Oh heck Cori, that box alone is the treasure! Missed you and everyone understands how very busy any teacher is just before school lets out. Don’t forget to breathe Sweet Cori!
I don’t care what you call it; I don’t care what you use it for or if you use it at all, I JUST LOVE IT! I would happily just thumb through it and enjoy all the wonderful things in it. Thanks for sharing!!!
"Why waste time?" geez , People who make these kind of comments are not your people. Pay them no mind. Your book is beautiful. You even inspired me to make this page that's at the 30 minute mark. Thank you.
Those of us who have been doing this for awhile can fast forward. We should be considerate of the newbies...we were once newbies..some of us may have forgotten how to do things if we haven't done in awhile so its nice to be reminded. So please continue as you do. We thank you for your time, your ideas, & just being a pleasant crafter to watch. I'm just now reading the nice comments of your viewers...i totally agree with each.
It’s hardly a waste of time it’s a work of art I love it thank you for sooooo many ideas I love it I can’t believe someone thought it was a waste of time yikes xxx
Morning from Australia, I agree with collettte , this is fantastic, I’ve just found you , love you and your work. All the neg. people go bake a cake you need some sweeping up.
Cori, this is absolutely amazing and it went right into my save file for inspiration. If I made something this beautiful I'd probably carry it with me everywhere I went to show it off!
Your style (with tons of pockets and tiny tuck spots, etc) is right up my alley!!! I make at least two mini jj (6” tall x 5” wide) each week to give out for free to folks when I run errands. I do things on a small scale a lot. I do make larger ones also, but it’s fun to make the small ones and test the different elements. And remember if folks don’t like your style, there are plenty of choices on UA-cam! 💝🧵💝
Your videos are never too long! Was happy to see you on today’s subscription list. Missed seeing your wonderful art and ideas while you were busy doing things that needed to be done.
Your style is AMAZING…I’ve watched this series 4 times now to REFRESH on ideas…you’re an INCREDIBLE TEACHER(I am a retired SpEd teacher) …so, I know there are many learning styles …BE HAPPY & IGNORE the naysayers ❤❤❤
Why would anyone say something negative about your “free” videos. I am thankful for them and think you are awesome, no matter how you do them. Don’t cater to them....you do you. I love how the journal turned out! Thank you 😊
So so sad that these folks who say you are wasting your time doing these journal, are infact wasting their time watching in the first place, obviously haven’t got to the part in the manual that is the stop and move on button !!!!! I would like to echo lots of the positive and lovely comments made by the other members of the cori tribe, and that is thank you. This book of your has been invaluable to me in getting ideas and seeing how things are done. It’s a piece of art in its own right. And if this makes you happy, then it makes me happy, I don’t think those whingers can be very happy people somehow !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Always remember: your channel = your playpen. Do what you enjoy, how you enjoy, when you enjoy... There are hundreds and hundreds of other places/channels crabbypants can go irritate. They won’t be happy there either. F- ‘em 😎 (just my take at The Lake)
That expression is now a new favorite! My channel, my playpen. LOVE THAT! Thank you and now that I’m (almost) free for the summer… do you need any company at the lake? 😊
That was not a rant, but a very kind response to some whiny babies. I LOVE that you took the time and care to make your idea book beautiful and full of tiny details that make you happy, like the little bell from your grandmother (a great idea i might steal, by the way, as I have some similar bells from a door bell pull that I have from my grandparents' home). You allowing yourself to slow down and enjoy the process instead of just getting it done really inspires me, because sometimes I have a tendency to feel rushed after I watch a bunch of videos and get a false sense of urgency. So thanks for being you!
Thank you Carrie and man, I hear you! I do it to myself sometimes…. Feel as if I need to rush and hurry and get it done. But I don’t and we don’t and since this is designed to be fun, we shouldn’t berate ourselves for enjoying the process. Happy and joy filled creating wishes to you!
As this is my first time seeing this I absolutely love it! Many hours of viewing mixed media art but this journal is beautiful and taps into so many new ideas. I hadn’t decoupaged in 52 years and now my desire to expand has been inspired by so many lovely people like you. Thank you. 💜 🔑 🔐 🔔 ✉️ 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you Sally and welcome. It is always my wish to inspire or encourage others, so I’m happy to hear that you’re interested in trying something new 💕
Why do naysayers feel the need to comment? I love the idea of making journals like this. How wonderful it would be to open a book like this and find a love one’s memories tucked away on a tag or booklet written down in no particular order. I would find it a treasure book to explore. I’m so thankful that you don’t stop sharing these wonderful ideas with us because of a few negative comments. I just love these journals and find them to be more of an encouragement to jot down a thought or memory than I would in a plain journaling notebook. ❤️🌷
Thank you Kate. I understand that everyone has different ideas about how things should be done. I can certainly learn from t he ideas and suggestions that others share. I love the comment Tim Holtz often makes... You do YOU.
Love this Cori. Can’t wait to do the journal cover and journal. You were missed, but I’m sure the time w/your grand daughter was well worth it and much needed. 🥰😊
What an amazingly amazing treasure trove of ideas! Thank you so much for sharing this series with us. I am working through Flips, Flaps and Folds, then going back through Scrapbusters. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hi Cori, I love and greatly enjoy your videos and appreciate your sharing your ideas with us. I totally agree with many of the other comments here. If someone is not interested 5hey don't have to watch. Plus you are 💯 correct when you said do what you like and what makes you happy. We are individuals with a variety of likes and dislikes. It is what makes us unique. There is no rule book saying a journal has to be either this or that. You are so very creative Cori! Thank you!
Ignore the negative comments - it is jealousy. I ❤ the idea of having an idea book like this and you have done this so beautifully! We forget about old ideas and this is wonderful to have techniques and ideas all in one place. Art is how you inspire others, but each person interprets with their own frame of reference and from what they have experienced. People who appreciate others' art and respect that each have his/her own reasons and style, those are the ones who can show appreciation and take away from your gifts their own new ideas!
Cori my dear u r truly amazing. I'm new to junk journaling and i love how u show n explain everything plz don't take that away from us newbies.. Also that green paper looks like old file folders with the metal holders for a file box just saying that b cuz i have lots of them n they look just like what u showed.. Can't wait 4 ur next video.. Have a bless day
Thank you Donna and welcome to JJ creating! I love teaching, so will try to remember and honor those that are new to it. That green paper is similar to those file folders, it’s just thinner and the green color is a bit deeper. I’m determined to find some!
I love what you do! Everyone has different tastes. I hardly ever like everything that anyone makes, but I get ideas every time! BTW, a journal is what you want it to be. Some of like to “journal” by using our creativity more than our writing.
I know this video is a year old but it came up in my feed and Im so happy it did. This is AWESOME! Wow! So many wonderful ideas in one video. How fun is this journal you created! You have inspired me. Thank you!!
I love this journal! So cute! As I newbie I really appreciate the explanations and details you give in your videos...so very helpful! I’ve made about 3/4s of the items to go into this scrap buster book and look forward to making the rest and my own journal for these goodies. Can’t wait to see the next video...thanks again for all you do!
Hi Cori , your work is a joy to see and hundreds of us get a great deal of pleasure from watching your creation process, during which daily responsibilities and pressures are made to rest for a while.However, it doesn’t stop there when the video ends, our minds have been enriched with new ideas, our creative self has been encouraged and , I for one, feel like I’ve just spent time with a friend. So, those who would say hurtful things, look to yourself and ask why you do it and ,If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything and move on .
New subscriber here - watching this video sure made me happy. I can't wait to spend time on your channel and watch more. Love making junk journals and am curious about some things that you added to your journal. Well done. Keep up the great work! Love being here! Thank you for sharing your talent.
Keep doing what you do and do it your way. Isn’t that what art is? Those who don’t understand hopefully will, eventually, as they learn more. Or, unfortunately for many, they never will, because of an inability to ever understand. It’s just who they are. Your art is amazing. I wouldn’t watch crafting videos if they were all the same. It’s the artist’s take on a technique that make the videos and the art so beautifully individual. And that’s what keeps me searching UA-cam for more. Thank you for sharing your ideas and your art.🙂
Cori, I love this. Your pages are always so pretty, creative, and inspirational. I love that you decorate the pages. It helps me with ideas and gets my creativity flowing. Thank you so much for taking the time to do all that you do!
I love this journal! Your ideas, style and colors are my favorite that I have seen! Thank you for sharing! I am very inspired! Getting ready to make my first journal!♥️
Thank you for sharing your lovely book- I absolutely love EVERYTHING… I have scrap booked for many years & now love journaling & making books … Your treasure book was a blessing to watch & to be reminded of all the joy in making all these wonderful pages … ❤️❤️❤️
This idea book is absolutely amazing and gorgeous! I have really enjoyed watching this video and will probably watch it a few more times to absorb all of the wonderful ideas you have put together in this book. Thank you for all the inspiration and for sharing your art : )
I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am that I can only 'like' this video once. Fabulous idea after fabulous idea! A true work of art! So glad I found you. Thank you so very much for posting this. ❤👍
I must have watched this video at least 10 times! I watch a lot of junk journalers, love them all, Cori, you are in a class all your own. My absolute favorite. I've also watched your flips,tucks videos over and over, your little mini bits are my favorites. There is nothing you've ever made that I don't love and want to try. Keep up the great work!
The thing I like most about this craft is that there are no rules. You can totally do your own thing. I guess some people just can’t live without rules and lots of structure. I’m feeling quite sorry for them lol. Love your book. And I love that you have made a reference book absolutely beautiful. Thank you💖
Once, AGAIN, I have learned the "names" of various tucks, pockets, flips, etc. because I'm so new at this journaling. I love your videos - you're one of my favorites. Thank you so much.
Suzanne, you are too kind. Thank you very much and please, just remember that many JJ items are called different things by different people. Heck, sometimes I call the same items by different names 😁
I agree, do what makes you happy. I love playing with papers and turning them into pages I love to look at. I adore this book of yours! Fun ideas and the pages are so fun to look at. Marvelous “Idea book!). I now have so many ideas to play with. The folded piece that holds 4 tags that Gayle showed us, I made 4 more tags for the back and gave it to my 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter, for she loves to play with putting tags in their place. Thanks again for sharing all these ideas and how to do them. They’ll keep me busy for an entire journal!
I'm glad you're back. We missed you! Your book is so cool. I want to recreate it all but first I need to make a card with thin scrap strips that I have been collecting since I saw your video where you made one🤣 thank you for sharing with us 🌹
Wow I am always super amazed with experienced junk journal creators even when these are simple elements just arranged and decorated but look crazy fun put together all like this lol! Thank you for sharing.
Cori, you are amazing! Continue doing what you do because you do it great! You are a wonderful inspiration to us. I have learned so much from you and I know there is still A LOT more for me to learn! Keep it coming, your fantastic work!
@@CoriDahmen you’re very welcome 😊. I will definitely be watching this series. It’s actually perfect for me because I’m not one to journal much but I loooove making journals lol! Especially chunky ones 😀 like yours lol!
It is your book…do it your way! I don’t understand why anyone would criticize you for what you do with your own work…oh well…I am just enjoying your art, so thanks for sharing.
My sister sent me this link for your video,I’m so happy she shared it…I subscribed after 60 seconds in…I will save and cherish this video to consult it millions of times for the unbelievable amount of ideas it contains…thank you so much for sharing your passionate hobby…🇨🇦
Welcome Pierette and thank you! I'm working on making a playlist of the scrap buster items now, so hopefully that will help with creating specific things.
Doing something that brings you a sense of joy is NEVER a waste of time,,, bothering to leave negative comments is a waste of everyone’s time. Cori it’s my first time watching you, been doing this stuff for a lot of years (I’m 73 and I started enjoying life at about 4 or 5!) and I agree with others that folks can just scroll on by. Don’t ever try to please the outside world, it’ll break your spirit! You just be the best YOU that you can be on that day. ❤
@@CoriDahmen I was watching a video about making a pocket page book and I grabbed a cheap composition book (they’re on sale in August for back to school) and just made a giant mess. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I’ve since gone back in and torn a few out that I didn’t want and decorated others. Your journal reminded me of it, so it’s on my table again. If I just scan through it and enjoy, that’s good enough too! 🥰
Hi Cori! I am in the process of making my own scrapbuster idea book as per your guidance. The videos are such a gift and the process is food for my soul! I am enjoying every minute. Thank you so much for all you share xx.
I love your channel soooo much that I’m using it as my “degree” in journal making. I’m going to make me a journal like this for myself. I’m new to journaling/paper crafts. About 15+ yrs ago I bought what came to be 2 dressers worth of scrapbooking materials- but never did anything with any of it. Now I have a great opportunity to do journaling. As I learn to make each of these components I’ll be putting it in my idea journal. This is such a pleasure for me. Thanks for sharing what you know.
I love your idea book. I want to make one for myself. Thank you. I do not understand why some people tell people they should or shouldn’t do anything on their own page. to all… YOU DO YOU!!!. ❤
Am fairly new to your channel. I basically started with the scrap busting and just watch this one where you put it all together. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. You don't talk too much you don't show too simple stuff because not only am I fairly new to your channel I am also very new to making journals. Can't go too slow for me. And for those who think you do go too slow, speed the video up. Thanks so much for sharing so much.
If you don't like it - don't watch it - because some of us love it and want to watch. Thanks Cori.
So many video options to choose from! Thank you Jen 😊
I'm new to this stuff, and I must say I'm hooked! I love this. Thank you for sharing. 😊
I adore these when she shows how to make these items

This is by far, absolutely NOT a waste of time‼️❤I am grateful that you give your time to share. ❤‼️😊A fantastic journal❤
Thank you Carol 💕
Morning from Australia, I agree with collettte , this is fantastic, I’ve just found you , love you and your work. All the neg. people go bake a cake you need some sweeping up.
Thank you Robyn and hmmmmm. That “bakes cake” idea has me craving a good cupcake! 😄
Neat book love it ignore those other people that don't like it. Who wants a boring book full of writing paper.
LOL! Not us. Thank you Simone 😊
Cori, this is absolutely amazing and it went right into my save file for inspiration. If I made something this beautiful I'd probably carry it with me everywhere I went to show it off!
Lol! You are too kind, thank you 😊
Your style (with tons of pockets and tiny tuck spots, etc) is right up my alley!!! I make at least two mini jj (6” tall x 5” wide) each week to give out for free to folks when I run errands. I do things on a small scale a lot. I do make larger ones also, but it’s fun to make the small ones and test the different elements. And remember if folks don’t like your style, there are plenty of choices on UA-cam! 💝🧵💝
The quote you used “logic will take you from a to b and imagination will take you everywhere” do you know who it is from? I love that quote!
That’s attributed to Albert Einstein. Brilliant man who clearly thought outside the box.
This is a quote from Einstein.
People are so rude! "Do what you want!" Thanks for sharing this beautiful sample book!
Thank you Cindy :)
Your videos are never too long! Was happy to see you on today’s subscription list. Missed seeing your wonderful art and ideas while you were busy doing things that needed to be done.
Thank you for your patience and understanding 💕
Your style is AMAZING…I’ve watched this series 4 times now to REFRESH on ideas…you’re an INCREDIBLE TEACHER(I am a retired SpEd teacher) …so, I know there are many learning styles …BE HAPPY & IGNORE the naysayers ❤❤❤
Wow, thank you!
Why would anyone say something negative about your “free” videos. I am thankful for them and think you are awesome, no matter how you do them. Don’t cater to them....you do you. I love how the journal turned out! Thank you 😊
Thank you Donna. I’m pleased with it too 😊
So so sad that these folks who say you are wasting your time doing these journal, are infact wasting their time watching in the first place, obviously haven’t got to the part in the manual that is the stop and move on button !!!!! I would like to echo lots of the positive and lovely comments made by the other members of the cori tribe, and that is thank you. This book of your has been invaluable to me in getting ideas and seeing how things are done. It’s a piece of art in its own right. And if this makes you happy, then it makes me happy, I don’t think those whingers can be very happy people somehow !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sharing concepts and ideas just makes me happy. I'm glad to hear it is benefiting others as well.
Always remember: your channel = your playpen. Do what you enjoy, how you enjoy, when you enjoy...
There are hundreds and hundreds of other places/channels crabbypants can go irritate. They won’t be happy there either.
F- ‘em 😎 (just my take at The Lake)
That expression is now a new favorite! My channel, my playpen. LOVE THAT! Thank you and now that I’m (almost) free for the summer… do you need any company at the lake? 😊
Love it! True! You made me laugh!
That was not a rant, but a very kind response to some whiny babies. I LOVE that you took the time and care to make your idea book beautiful and full of tiny details that make you happy, like the little bell from your grandmother (a great idea i might steal, by the way, as I have some similar bells from a door bell pull that I have from my grandparents' home). You allowing yourself to slow down and enjoy the process instead of just getting it done really inspires me, because sometimes I have a tendency to feel rushed after I watch a bunch of videos and get a false sense of urgency. So thanks for being you!
Thank you Carrie and man, I hear you! I do it to myself sometimes…. Feel as if I need to rush and hurry and get it done. But I don’t and we don’t and since this is designed to be fun, we shouldn’t berate ourselves for enjoying the process. Happy and joy filled creating wishes to you!
As this is my first time seeing this I absolutely love it! Many hours of viewing mixed media art but this journal is beautiful and taps into so many new ideas. I hadn’t decoupaged in 52 years and now my desire to expand has been inspired by so many lovely people like you. Thank you. 💜 🔑 🔐 🔔 ✉️ 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you Sally and welcome. It is always my wish to inspire or encourage others, so I’m happy to hear that you’re interested in trying something new 💕
Why do naysayers feel the need to comment? I love the idea of making journals like this. How wonderful it would be to open a book like this and find a love one’s memories tucked away on a tag or booklet written down in no particular order. I would find it a treasure book to explore. I’m so thankful that you don’t stop sharing these wonderful ideas with us because of a few negative comments. I just love these journals and find them to be more of an encouragement to jot down a thought or memory than I would in a plain journaling notebook. ❤️🌷
Thank you Kate. I understand that everyone has different ideas about how things should be done. I can certainly learn from t he ideas and suggestions that others share. I love the comment Tim Holtz often makes... You do YOU.
I really love the way you put things together. I have learned so much from your videos and appreciate you teaching us. Thank you so much
You’re very welcome and I love to share the things that work well for me 😊
Trolls are their own worst enemy. You my friend are gifted and I need to watch more of you.
Thank you. That sweet comment made me smile 😊
You can be very proud of yourself! This book looks gorgeous!!! I love watching your video’s! Thank you for inspiration!
Thank you Anneke 💕😊
This is one of the prettiest junk journals I have ever seen❤️👍
Love this Cori. Can’t wait to do the journal cover and journal. You were missed, but I’m sure the time w/your grand daughter was well worth it and much needed. 🥰😊
Thank you 😊 That little peanut owns me!
Who on this God's green earth is not love it! Thank you Cori
LOL, I know it's not for everyone. Thank you and happy 2024!
This is amazing and just the inspiration I needed 💡 I have put myself on a buying ban 💴 so I shall be using a lot of your ideas. Thank you 😊
Me too! The buying ban bit. I’ve just cleaned my cave and realize how much stuff I need to use first! I hope you find some ideas that inspire you 😊
What an amazingly amazing treasure trove of ideas! Thank you so much for sharing this series with us. I am working through Flips, Flaps and Folds, then going back through Scrapbusters. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You’re very welcome and it makes me smile to read that you’re finding the videos beneficial.
Hi Cori, I love and greatly enjoy your videos and appreciate your sharing your ideas with us. I totally agree with many of the other comments here. If someone is not interested 5hey don't have to watch. Plus you are 💯 correct when you said do what you like and what makes you happy. We are individuals with a variety of likes and dislikes. It is what makes us unique. There is no rule book saying a journal has to be either this or that. You are so very creative Cori! Thank you!
Thank you Beth and I think, sometimes, I need to remind myself that it is okay to create just for the sake of creating. Do what makes YOU happy!
This journal is so stunning and inspiring, I love every page!
Thank you. It really was quite fun to pull together 💕
Ignore the negative comments - it is jealousy. I ❤ the idea of having an idea book like this and you have done this so beautifully! We forget about old ideas and this is wonderful to have techniques and ideas all in one place. Art is how you inspire others, but each person interprets with their own frame of reference and from what they have experienced. People who appreciate others' art and respect that each have his/her own reasons and style, those are the ones who can show appreciation and take away from your gifts their own new ideas!
Thank you Lita, and so eloquently stated. You beautifully sum up my thoughts on how we each create.
Cori my dear u r truly amazing. I'm new to junk journaling and i love how u show n explain everything plz don't take that away from us newbies.. Also that green paper looks like old file folders with the metal holders for a file box just saying that b cuz i have lots of them n they look just like what u showed.. Can't wait 4 ur next video.. Have a bless day
Thank you Donna and welcome to JJ creating! I love teaching, so will try to remember and honor those that are new to it. That green paper is similar to those file folders, it’s just thinner and the green color is a bit deeper. I’m determined to find some!
Keep watching this over and over for ideas and inspiration 💕 thank you for sharing your gift🥰
I'm glad you enjoy it! Write them down and they'll be right there when you need them 😊
This Idea Book makes me so happy, I love how much effort you have put into it. Truly inspiring thank you xxx
Thank you Michelle. Making them an watching them come together makes me happy, so I’m glad to hear it makes you happy too!
I love what you do! Everyone has different tastes. I hardly ever like everything that anyone makes, but I get ideas every time! BTW, a journal is what you want it to be. Some of like to “journal” by using our creativity more than our writing.
This is amazing. Thank you! I'm new to making journals and ephemera so this video is very helpful. BLESSINGS
Welcome and congratulations on joining the fun addiction that is JJ.
Your football your game. We are your cheerleaders! Go gurl go. Luv this! Again
Love that too! I am a fan of football :)
I would love to see Your list, because I started very late with following You and just love it all! TFS! Judyxx
I added it to the description box. The number at the front is the video number. I intend to make them a playlist… as soon as I remember how 😊
I know this video is a year old but it came up in my feed and Im so happy it did. This is AWESOME! Wow! So many wonderful ideas in one video. How fun is this journal you created! You have inspired me. Thank you!!
I love this journal! So cute! As I newbie I really appreciate the explanations and details you give in your videos...so very helpful! I’ve made about 3/4s of the items to go into this scrap buster book and look forward to making the rest and my own journal for these goodies. Can’t wait to see the next video...thanks again for all you do!
My hope has been that all interested paper crafters can follow along, if they choose. Glad you’re enjoying the projects 💕
Hi Cori , your work is a joy to see and hundreds of us get a great deal of pleasure from watching your creation process, during which daily responsibilities and pressures are made to rest for a while.However, it doesn’t stop there when the video ends, our minds have been enriched with new ideas, our creative self has been encouraged and , I for one, feel like I’ve just spent time with a friend. So, those who would say hurtful things, look to yourself and ask why you do it and ,If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything and move on .
New subscriber here - watching this video sure made me happy. I can't wait to spend time on your channel and watch more. Love making junk journals and am curious about some things that you added to your journal. Well done. Keep up the great work! Love being here! Thank you for sharing your talent.
Thank you and welcome! Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions about how something was made or where it was found 😊
I love you just as you are. I love how descriptive you make your tutorials. I have been a crafter for many years and every day we learn something new.
Amen and thank you Erinn 💕
This is sooo beautiful! Your book makes me motivated to make one!
Yeah! That’s the goal… to share with people that creating the bits is easy and do-able. Happy creating!
Keep doing what you do and do it your way. Isn’t that what art is? Those who don’t understand hopefully will, eventually, as they learn more. Or, unfortunately for many, they never will, because of an inability to ever understand. It’s just who they are. Your art is amazing. I wouldn’t watch crafting videos if they were all the same. It’s the artist’s take on a technique that make the videos and the art so beautifully individual. And that’s what keeps me searching UA-cam for more. Thank you for sharing your ideas and your art.🙂
What a beautiful sentiment and a wonderful perspective. Thank you April 💕
Cori, I love this. Your pages are always so pretty, creative, and inspirational. I love that you decorate the pages. It helps me with ideas and gets my creativity flowing. Thank you so much for taking the time to do all that you do!
Thank you Karen. That Tim Holtz paper makes creating things fun!
WOW. It doesn't get any better than this video. THANK YOU
I love this journal! Your ideas, style and colors are my favorite that I have seen! Thank you for sharing! I am very inspired! Getting ready to make my first journal!♥️
Such a fun adventure fir you! The first journal can be intimidating, but we all start somewhere. I hope you have loads of fun creating it.
Thank you for sharing your lovely book- I absolutely love EVERYTHING… I have scrap booked for many years & now love journaling & making books …
Your treasure book was a blessing to watch & to be reminded of all the joy in making all these wonderful pages … ❤️❤️❤️
It's a Fabulous book, you do you.
Thank you 😊
I appreciate all journals, they have many uses. Sometimes it is just fun to make it that way…couldn’t agree more.
Thank you 😊
This idea book is absolutely amazing and gorgeous! I have really enjoyed watching this video and will probably watch it a few more times to absorb all of the wonderful ideas you have put together in this book. Thank you for all the inspiration and for sharing your art : )
You’re welcome Cathy and thank you for the kind comments 💕
I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am that I can only 'like' this video once. Fabulous idea after fabulous idea! A true work of art! So glad I found you. Thank you so very much for posting this. ❤👍
My pleasure and thank you for your kind comment. Liking it once makes me smile :)
My pleasure and thank you for your kind comment. Liking it once makes me smile :)
Woohoo! Good to see you back! Hope you enjoyed the HECK outta that grandbaby!!! Now to dig in to this gorgeous piece!
Thank you Monica. That kid melts my heart. Oh, Breck, you want a pony? Okay. Oma will get it 💕😊
@@CoriDahmen LOLLLLL!!!!
I must have watched this video at least 10 times! I watch a lot of junk journalers, love them all, Cori, you are in a class all your own. My absolute favorite. I've also watched your flips,tucks videos over and over, your little mini bits are my favorites. There is nothing you've ever made that I don't love and want to try. Keep up the great work!
You are too kind Yolande, thank you. I hope to be able to create again soon and I hope you find ideas and projects that will work for you ❤️
But I have learned a lot of new ideas to embelish mine!!
I’m happy to hear that!
The thing I like most about this craft is that there are no rules. You can totally do your own thing. I guess some people just can’t live without rules and lots of structure. I’m feeling quite sorry for them lol. Love your book. And I love that you have made a reference book absolutely beautiful. Thank you💖
Thank you Yvonne. This hobby embodies the statement "you do YOU!" I so very much love that 😊
Love your idea journals, I need your ideas as I am new to journaling. They are so beautiful!
Thank you and if you have questions, please ask. I’m happy to answer if I can.
Once, AGAIN, I have learned the "names" of various tucks, pockets, flips, etc. because I'm so new at this journaling. I love your videos - you're one of my favorites. Thank you so much.
Suzanne, you are too kind. Thank you very much and please, just remember that many JJ items are called different things by different people. Heck, sometimes I call the same items by different names 😁
Thank you so much ❤️
ooohh, so good you´re back :-D
Thank you. Darn life, anyway 😊
I agree, do what makes you happy. I love playing with papers and turning them into pages I love to look at. I adore this book of yours! Fun ideas and the pages are so fun to look at. Marvelous “Idea book!). I now have so many ideas to play with. The folded piece that holds 4 tags that Gayle showed us, I made 4 more tags for the back and gave it to my 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter, for she loves to play with putting tags in their place. Thanks again for sharing all these ideas and how to do them. They’ll keep me busy for an entire journal!
That is fabulous to hear. Thank you Cheryl!
I'm glad you're back. We missed you! Your book is so cool. I want to recreate it all but first I need to make a card with thin scrap strips that I have been collecting since I saw your video where you made one🤣 thank you for sharing with us 🌹
Be careful, those little bits multiply like crazy! It’s good to be back, thank you 😊
@@CoriDahmen I'm far beyond being careful. I'm surrounded by scraps 🤣
These people who are being negative need to stop, if you do not like what Cori is doing, don't watch and move on. I love what you do Cori x
Thank you Carrie 😘
You are ahead of your time and some don’t get it. It’s called ART folks.
Well, it’s fun anyway and above all else, our hobbies should be FUN!
Wow I am always super amazed with experienced junk journal creators even when these are simple elements just arranged and decorated but look crazy fun put together all like this lol! Thank you for sharing.
I'm happy to hear that it inspired or encouraged you. Thank you!
Do what makes you happy its ypur vision that's why it's called art
Cori, you are amazing! Continue doing what you do because you do it great! You are a wonderful inspiration to us. I have learned so much from you and I know there is still A LOT more for me to learn! Keep it coming, your fantastic work!
I absolutely LOVE your idea book! It’s gorgeous! Don’t let those negative nellys affect you. Do what makes YOU happy. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jania and I appreciate your kind words :)
@@CoriDahmen you’re very welcome 😊. I will definitely be watching this series. It’s actually perfect for me because I’m not one to journal much but I loooove making journals lol! Especially chunky ones 😀 like yours lol!
@@janiarosario8107 truth: I’ve tried making thinner journals, but it just doesn’t work for me 😊
It is your book…do it your way! I don’t understand why anyone would criticize you for what you do with your own work…oh well…I am just enjoying your art, so thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Sue 💕
My sister sent me this link for your video,I’m so happy she shared it…I subscribed after 60 seconds in…I will save and cherish this video to consult it millions of times for the unbelievable amount of ideas it contains…thank you so much for sharing your passionate hobby…🇨🇦
Welcome Pierette and thank you! I'm working on making a playlist of the scrap buster items now, so hopefully that will help with creating specific things.
Doing something that brings you a sense of joy is NEVER a waste of time,,, bothering to leave negative comments is a waste of everyone’s time. Cori it’s my first time watching you, been doing this stuff for a lot of years (I’m 73 and I started enjoying life at about 4 or 5!) and I agree with others that folks can just scroll on by. Don’t ever try to please the outside world, it’ll break your spirit! You just be the best YOU that you can be on that day. ❤
You're too sweet Luann, thank you. I'm smiling as I picture you loving and thoroughly enjoying life!
@@CoriDahmen I was watching a video about making a pocket page book and I grabbed a cheap composition book (they’re on sale in August for back to school) and just made a giant mess. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I’ve since gone back in and torn a few out that I didn’t want and decorated others. Your journal reminded me of it, so it’s on my table again. If I just scan through it and enjoy, that’s good enough too! 🥰
Hi Cori! I am in the process of making my own scrapbuster idea book as per your guidance. The videos are such a gift and the process is food for my soul! I am enjoying every minute. Thank you so much for all you share xx.
I love your channel soooo much that I’m using it as my “degree” in journal making. I’m going to make me a journal like this for myself. I’m new to journaling/paper crafts. About 15+ yrs ago I bought what came to be 2 dressers worth of scrapbooking materials- but never did anything with any of it. Now I have a great opportunity to do journaling. As I learn to make each of these components I’ll be putting it in my idea journal. This is such a pleasure for me. Thanks for sharing what you know.
It’s always my pleasure to share ideas and I’m happy that they’ve helped you.
Love all these ideas more and more every time I watch this! Thanks for sharing❤️
Thank you and I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the ideas.
This is my favorite thing ever. I’m going to keep it for reference whenever I can’t think of something to do. ❤
Thank you and I'm happy to hear that it gave you ideas 💕
Absolutely beautiful. So neat and full of ideas. Don't let the naysayers get you down you are incredible.
Thank you very much Karen :)
I love your idea book. I want to make one for myself. Thank you. I do not understand why some people tell people they should or shouldn’t do anything on their own page. to all… YOU DO YOU!!!. ❤
Thank you and yes. Making idea books can be a whole lot of fun, and I go back and use them any time I'm stuck on what to add next!
I am new to junk journals and this video has a wealth of information and techniques. I love the journal. This is truly a work of heART!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Am fairly new to your channel. I basically started with the scrap busting and just watch this one where you put it all together. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. You don't talk too much you don't show too simple stuff because not only am I fairly new to your channel I am also very new to making journals. Can't go too slow for me. And for those who think you do go too slow, speed the video up. Thanks so much for sharing so much.
Thank you Connie and welcome!
One of the prettiest journals I've seen yet! Thank you for sharing.
What a sweet response. Thank you Lynette ❤
