I watch so many videos to get ideas for the journals I make for friends and family. I thought I’d seen every idea out there but you brought some new creations to the game. Excellent! I’ll be watching this again.
Carol, you are by make the best junk journals ever! This is my all time favorite junk journal. You are so incredibly talented, and I love watching your flip throughs &&tutorials.. You reaaly are amazing&have a great talent that I wish I had!!
You are absolutely brilliant when it comes to creativity. I have been binge watching your videos for inspiration and ideas. I don’t think I could ever live up to your abilities but I’m sure going to give it a try. Thanks for sharing your beautiful journals.
I love the cover. It's stunning !! I really like the effect it gives to leave the part of the page that held the paper to the orrigional notebook. Very clever !!
Just thought I'd look back, over my early morning brew and, I have to say, this journal is gorgeous. You always include so many different elements, everything coordinates, and your stamping!, well it's second to none! Mx
Stunning!! I have the worst time stamping also. I have my crafting area in garage. The other day I noticed my old, sad looking rubber garden kneeling pad. I cut it in half and used it under a page while stamping and it really helped me. Lol!
Thanks Jeanne :) Now thats called using your initiative lol I use the fun foam - that seems to help a bit but i rather press too hard and smudge or not enough and half the image is missing lol .... Ill stick to stencilling i think ;) xx
I used the fun foam with the same results you mentioned. I thought about Tim Holtz's new toy but would rather spend on something else. I just started stenciling and I love it but need to wear gloves I stained a couple of my fingers last night and it looks like some serious nicotine fingers Ewww! ha!
You are sew funny Carol, I had to subscribe to your channel. You smacked your hand and I thought I would die laughing. I bought your digi kit and it is the most beautiful vintage flowers I've seen. Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing and being sew funny...:)
Hi Carol! I just found your Channel and subscribed! I'm brand new to making journals. I love, love your heart envelope, it's so so pretty! I will have to learn how to make one! Your journal is so beautiful!
Ohh Carol... this journal is amazing! Your journaling class must be sensational! You include so many little details that are unique and special that I am forced to love your work lol. Thank you very much for being such an inspiration! (Stamping and everything) 😊
Hello Carol, I found your FB Group and put in a request to join. It was nice to see your photo and put a face to the funny lady that makes me smile...thank you for that...hugs...;)
Stunning Journal, Carol. Love how You wrapped those doilies around the envelopes & hung the hearts with that green ribbon. I've got those doilies. They look beautiful in this. Love everything about this, to be honest. That pull out booklet is fabulous! Really interesting Journal, so many eye catching & creative things. TFS
+sewcarol Aw, I've only just noticed that beautiful lace on the spine! That sheer lace. I love My lace. :) x thanks for your reply. I'm only catching up now x
I felt sure I had replied Leigh but now there is nothing there ( can you see me rolling my eyes lol) anyways ... Thanks Leigh you are always so kind :) xx

waves to the new subbie :) Thanks for your lovely comment and that is praise indeed if someone sent you a link, im blushing!! l I hope you enjoy watching the strange British lady lol Also hope that you are safe and sound being from Texas xxx
Hi and Thanks for your comment :) I rarely use double sided tape. I tend to steer more towards my pva tacky glue (I live in the UK and use the glue from Hobbycraft) I have some of their old bottles that have the finer nozzle where as their newer bottles are fatter and have a more cumbersome nozzle. They give me a nice fine line of glue. Hope that helps :)
Wow wow I sooo love this journal. I'm baby newbie to this and what to learn to make them as pretty as yours. I live in new Zealand and its so hard to get things here. I'm a stay at home mum of a 18 year old servally handicapped girl. So this is something I'm hoping to do for me. Any help you can offer I'd be so thankful
Thanks Tania for your lovely comment :) We all need a bit of me time as it keeps us sane!! Are you on FB? There is a group called Junk Journal Junkies or Friendly Junk Journal People if youre not already a member of those groups where you will find great inspiration and support. I belong to both those groups. And feel free to ask me questions anytime and ill help if I can :) xx
>>>>>>>> OK Nancy Im back. If it is the button that is at about 5 mins ( the cream button??) then it is a 2 holed button I used a brad and I placed the brad prongs through each hole of the button. Hope that helps :) x

I just don't understand why this is called a junk journal... I don't see a bit of junk in it. I thought junk journals were supposed to be made of things around the house... I must have missed something.
Sherry Snow you didn’t miss anything at all Sherry. It’s just a general term. I’m not hung up on a name and I now prefer to call my “Junk Journals” Journals anyway as the craft has evolved.
Your eye for detail is just delightful. Thanks so very much for sharing your talents!!!
A lot of ideas I’ve never seen before Carol. Thank you.
I watch so many videos to get ideas for the journals I make for friends and family. I thought I’d seen every idea out there but you brought some new creations to the game. Excellent! I’ll be watching this again.
