Thank you so much for your lesson. I did make a book from one of your tutorials which was fun using my beads. I'm still at the fun filling part. I also made some paper to use. You explain so we'll and I love your accent.
Help me .....I am going to make a journal .....I don't understand why u add the papers that come outta a book or even the music sheets or pictures. Do I write on them or is it for looks ???
looks... part of the "treasure" to find within. such as making pockets thru out and filling them things like... vintage cards, recipe cards, trivia cards, a nice poem folded up and placed inside an envelope...U could also cut off Strips of the musical notes and glue it on to a blank page for decoration.. Or use as background FOR a Blank piece of paper. maybe tear and ink the edges of the blank paper u want to write on. 😊
I really love your videos, and whenever I’m feeling the slightest bit down, I come to your channel and watch various videos you’ve made and they never fail to lift my spirits. Thank you for sharing your processes, and your light. ❤
My my goodness- I watched every single second of this entire process. You are my biggest inspiration of how I want to approach junk journaling ... but ... I’ve purchase SO many printables and wishing I had started out with more of an organic style. That said, it’s never too late. I will implement more and more this style and will eventually stop buying printables. Thank you, Natasa... you’re one of the great ones, in my opinion xo
I know you’re u think not to use printables but make a in hand keep in folders to create smaller piece for pockets or to make pages and add them to gift bags pulled apart there is a thousand ways you o create ❤
You are so amazing..What I love is how clear you make things. The way you lay out instructions and explain things..It must take a lot of time to do that..So THANK YOU for all of the thought and time that you put into your tutorials for us. beautiful as always! xx
This is by far the easiest junk journal I have ever viewed. I just love your instructional sheets. That's what makes it so easy. Yes I would like to see how you continue to decorate this or any other journal. Thanks so much Natasa.
Love this, this is my style of crafting, I use boxes for my covers all the time,a tip for guilding wax, mix metallic eyeshadow with coconut oil,cheap and work is a treat.
Excellent tutorial start to finish!! You have answered questions I didn't know I had - LOL!! Now I know why I've been saving all those bits and pieces for the past ten years - and now I know exactly what to do with them. LOVE your junk journal and your creative process. YES - - I would enjoy MORE journal tutorials, walk throughs, techniques, etc... Thank you so much for taking the time to share your creative expertise. Looking forward to getting started on my very first junk journal!! :-)
I like it that you fast forward on places that are repitition. Some people don't do that and it gets boring to watch steps repeated that don't need to be. You can cover so much more instructions. You are very thorough too. Thank you so much!
Wow Natasa, you have really gone above and beyond!!! What an amazing and fun true junk journal you have created!!! Love it! And I love your hand-made paper beads!!! Thanks for joining me in this collaboration!
This was my first video to make a junk journal. I have not made one before. So glad I choose this one! Having directions to screen shot at the end and to read during the instructions is a brilliant idea! Thank you!
Loving this video for not only the instruction and techniques but also because you do not go off on nonsensical tangents. I also appreciate your fast forwarding through the repetitive demonstrations. Even though I am new to Junk Journals, I look for meaningful content rather than silliness and disorganization. You nailed my preference!! Thank you.
I just love your amazing teaching style! I learn so much from you. Traditional junk journaling is something I love. So thankful for you and your channel!
I look forward to watching your videos I am a late bloomer to Scrapbooking. I agree with the comments below I thank you for taking the time to write up the instructions and the videos. You explain in detail what to do how to do it. You have a very pleasant voice and I enjoy listening to you. I have learned so much just by watching your videos and I am still learning. Thank you!!
I’ve already watched this video numerous times but I keep coming back to it. So many wonderful ideas for anyone but especially beginners like me. I’ve got my notepad to jot down all the ideas and inspiration that is flowing through. Thank you so much for sharing this fabulous fantastic fat journal 👍✌️🙏❤️
i so appreciate your attention to detail. i tell my hubby often, "details matter." and you are great at explaining your process. thank you for sharing your talent with us!
"I WANT TO BE WILD AND FREE LIKE THE SEA 🌊 🎶 ✨️" Darling Natasha, perhaps you don't realize that your wild and free waves have lapped upon the shores of Michigan! Do you know you've changed my life? Your sweet, lyrical, easy-going commentary so freely providing artistic details has inspired my creativity and lifted me out of a SEVEN YEAR DEPRESSION? I lost my Mama and myself, and now through your tutorials, I am creating memory books, recipe books, family tradition books, and JOY! I AM CREATING JOY AGAIN THANKS TO YOU, DARLING NATASHA❣️ I apologize for all caps, but I'm not sure how long ago this gem was made (thank you for specifically showing me HOW to use the journal to PLAY) and I feel it's important you realize your "I dunno. Doesn't matter. It's not perfect but that's ok. I'm not sure if I like it but that's what we're going with." and all your little sing-sing phrases of love and acceptance of things the way they are, the way they've fallen into place, and if we don't like it now, we might later, and if we still don't like it later, we can beautifully change it to our liking. 😊It may seem trite, but you have helped my little retired suburban housewife life in an unimaginable way. All of my curated things can be beautifully enshrined in a book made of junk mail for pennies. Thank you thank you thank you 🎉🎉🎉 😢 I'm not kidding, 7 years😢
Natasha your tutorials are out of this world girl 🤗 - I always take a screenshot of your instructions - OMG ty so much for sharing all this with us free of charge girl 🤗 it's so enormously appreciated - ty ty ty is not enough 🌺🤗
I know i watched the beginnings of this, before but not right thru ....I don't think....can't remember now....so as I was up super early this morning doing some fuzzy cutting i wanted to watch and listen to the FULL version and how awesome it was ...Big thank you for taking the time putting this together, learned MORE again 👌have to try the cover technique definitely
I am a newbie to junk journaling. I would be very interested in seeing more videos like this one. Thank you for sharing your creativity and knowledge, especially for one’s like me that are beginning!
I started to put a journal together as I watched this. The glue isn’t drying fast enough! I will look through the instructions and gather stuff so I will be ready when I watch this again. So many ideas are in my head!
WOW!!! You are an excellent instructor! So easy to understand. Not too slow,...not too fast. You have a great personality!!! And I especially love YOUR idea of a TRUE JUNK journal, using nothing you bought. What a great way to recycle and help to STOP creating TRASH!! I'm devoted to repurposing!!! Your video was my introduction to junk journals. I had NO IDEA what a junk journal even was! I feel lucky I found you from the start. I have a huge trash can full of junk mail & paper my son was suppose to discard. But he moved and I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of it. But, NOW I'm excited to go thru it and see what great JUNK I can use. Thank you for sharing, and teaching such a cool idea. Much love to you!! Barbara - Austin, TX. USA
Thanks to you, I just put together my first cover with two signatures for my nieces wedding junk journal last night. I was so nervous! lol why? I had an expert teacher and your book and videos to refer to. It went great but I was shaking the whole time. How funny 🙄 I so hope she loves it, I do❤
I hurt my dominant wrist so not much I can do for 2 weeks in my studio - so I decided to binge watch your videos. typing with left hand so excujse typos. Even though I'm not a beginner I still like to watch beginner videos because we can learn so much. I relly liked this video especially where you showed the used sticker backing with a pocket attached. THAT WAS verY creative. Even though I love to hand embroider I don't like sewing signatures very much - si I tried stapling mine. it worked ok...but I admit sewing is prettier. Subscribed nages ago, love your channel, your voice, thorough instructions, and tips - great job!
Natasha, I have watched this four times, on two different computers and two different television sets. You are the bomb ! ~ which means you are amazing where I reside. Your instructions are terrific. Thank you!
I watch so many videos, and I never leave comments… As a matter of fact I don’t think I’ve ever left a single comment ever! But I just had to let you know that your tutorial is absolutely amazing. You’re so detailed, it’s easy to follow along and keep up. You explain everything in such amazing detail that your video would be hard to beat! Thank you so much, I watched 100 of these videos… Never completely satisfied. I’m so inspired by this video and excited to try it out!
Natasha you are so inspiring to me. I just love your videos. I have never made these paper beads. But my mother had two necklaces made from them. Now I can’t wait to make them!!!! Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
I would definitely be interested in watching you play in your junk journal! You called it a "Junk Journal with me" video series, or a now-and-again Junk journal with me, and YES, I would Love that!
The answer is yes: yes, you have inspired me, yes, this has given me the urge to make my own and YES I would love to see “Junk Journal With Me” videos, PLEASE. Thank you for presenting this in your special way, and making it seem approachable and doable. 😊 I love the way you joined the spine and sides of the cover. I’ve never seen that before.
Dear Natasa, No detail ever escapes you. This is soooo inspiring...especially the cover. Just a couple fyi's: your stitching around the sides of the cover is called whip stitch (don't ask me how I know that because I don't sew)and what you called "wall tape"...close. It is drywall tape to cover seams. Some call it Sheetrock or wallboard instead of drywall. Now how is that for totally useless trivia? Giving thanks this Thanksgiving in America for your kind spirit.
hehe Susan, thank you so much. I was calling it embroidery the whole time, and each time I would say it, I winced because I knew it was wrong, but just didn't know what else to call it. The wall tape - hehe, I knew it had the word "wall" in there somewhere. Thank you for giving me correct names, and its definitely not useless!!
I am new to the concept of junk journaling. I love collecting pretty things but never knew what to do with them until now 🙂 This video great. Thank you 🙏🏾
Hi, I don't speak English but I understood everything because you explain very well with your pretty hands :) Thank you for these wonders. kiss from france
I love everything you do. Your written instructions are perfect. I appreciate you showing each step. I will watch whatever you post so keep them coming. Love your speaking voice and accent. You are lovely. XO
I absolutely love this because it actually show how to use those junk pages and addressed envelopes that I tend to throw away. Thank you. I am inspired by this!
I would love a journal-with-Natasha video! I learn so much from you in these vids. And now I have your book for reference as well. I’m a lucky girl! Thank you, Natasha!❤
I have binge watched your channel, it was your beaded pens that brought me here. I have now gathered my supplies and I am going to start my first journal now. Thank you for bringing me into this wonderful world of junk journals😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks Natasa. What I love about this TRUE Junk Journal is the fact that each one is unique and personal. Thank you for helping me value my own TRUE junk journal!
Cute little journal. Thank you for taking the time to share your projects and your skills with us viewers. As I watch your videos, I can clearly see you have a gift for teaching/instruction giving. Congrats for getting over 20,000 viewers on your channel.

Hey from Canada, Natasha....a huge thank you for sharing this as I know it was a lot of work. You said in this video, "sometimes you get overwhelmed with all you can do to it" and I thought to myself, I am the exact opposite. I've never made a junk journal so I"m in the process of learning how to create one. I think I'm ready to start now. I want to thank you for the education and inspiration. I so love your work!
I have been binging on your wonderful tutorials for weeks. You have a wonderful way of teaching, and when you include your thoughts on how you get your inspiration, I love it. Thank you so much.
I know it's been 3 years, but I just found you. I prefer your writing actually to the stamped word. I have been enjoying your videos and I LOVE the printed instructions.
It was by chance yesterday that your content popped up. I am doing journaling but never heard about junk-journals before. All I can say after watching some of your videos: Absolutely amazing! Your creativity, style, superbe explaining and ideas are outstanding! Never again will I buy any journals now but have plenty of fun in future with my own projects. Thank you so much. I am especially delighted since I kept some lovely magazines for years due to some realy beautiful pages and always thought they are worth being upcycled. Now I know what for. So, thank you again, greezings from Germany. Besides: a happy and healthy new year 2024!
I watched this through all the way and now I will be gathering all the materials and making this. I have just about everything except the white gesso. Thanks for sharing, this is great. It will make an awesome 🎁 gift. 👍❤️
I love how your mind works to keep and add certain things to your journal that others may have thrown away, such as adding things from your daughter's shoe. I have watched a couple of your videos so far and there are so many great ideas! Thank you for the time and effort you take to make and share your talent with us.
I have enjoyed this tutorial so much. Thank you for sharing. I can proudly say, after following your instructions, I have completed the cover. Ok it has taken me a week but I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been a little distracted by watching some of your other videos and thinking ‘oh I can make that now’ lol. Now for the bookplate and organising my signatures. Xx😘
Yes! Journal with you is something i want to see! Junk journal always fascinated me because i collect lots of junk because i find it wasted to throw away but then I get stuck without knowing what to do with them. I’m sure a journal with you video will give me some ideas and inspiration to destash my junk ;)
Love to see a TRUE junk journal from start to finish.. fantastic inspiration... great leather look...and thanks for showing some of the possible decorations..... can't wait to make my own 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😁
I’m loving the idea of junk journaling with you sessions. I am binge watching your videos again and now that I’ve finally understood h what papers to put in, I can’t wait to start. I want to make some pages using my gel plate and leaves from garden to go with the “found”, junk art theme.. thank you Natasha for the professional and thoroughly well thought out tutorials - you’re wonderful generosity is much appreciated. ❤️
Hi! This is so pretty! I did something similar, but I didn’t use gesso. I didn’t know about it, I’m a newbie to all of this paper crafting. I’m loving it and I’ve learned so much from your tutorials! Thank you for that. With my project I used a brown paper bag and I used paper mache’ glue with a beautiful napkin which I separated. It did wrinkle, but I like the effect very much! I’m having problems binding my journals, but as time goes on, and I watch these tutorials, I’m learning so much! Have a great day!
Wow so amazing I watched all of it you do a great job on all of your journals 7m a beginner I ve done serval but I'll never be as good as you I'm trying I live watching yours
Thank you so much for writing everything down step-by-step. I’m writing down the glue. That way you make sure we understood. I’m a new phone or so for your awesome.
I made albums out of cereal boxes. i I made the one cover out of papers of the wrappers of Christmas oranges. I painted it after with gold paint and it is just now breaking after over 30 years. Everyone loves it.
As always, fun to watch & ideas start flowing in on how to put your various treatments to other uses! Thanks so much for your time and energy in putting these videos together for everyone.
Thanks for this tutorial! It's great to see someone is making an actual junk journal! We have come across so many paper and I always feel such a waste to trash them. This is definitely something I can make with those junk paper.
Love your junk journal video! Your instructions are so clear and easy to understand. I would love to see the inside of this journal when you start creating. Love your soothing, clear voice. Thank you for sharing!
Omg I'm never going to sleep again with all these ideas! I made your faux handmade paper yesterday and it was amazing! So pretty and my mind was filling with all sorts of things I could add. Now this! It's absolutely beautiful and glad to see you don't have to look at the actual cereal box for it to be called a Junk Journal, as I like to turn junk into pretty treasure, but would love to challenge myself to use simply junk and make it look as pretty as possible. Guess what I'll be starting today? ;) Thank you so much for your amazing inspiring videos they have really given me back my creative mojo x
I love every one of your videos and the projects you create. The written notes in the video itself are a great help in following along. Please do go ahead with your idea to post a series of "junk journal along with me" videos. Thanks so much for sharing you talents and creative ideas.
So fun, Natasha! You have inspired me to try to make this to look like birch bark for a Native American Journal. Love the way you connect your tassel. Avoids expensive findings and still very cool. Also love your sunflower/doily spread. So cute! 💖
Hi, I've subscribed and when I have somewhere to do crafts and art stuff I'm going to be having a go, started collecting stuff already. Love how you don't waffle with instructions and the written bullet points are great. A journalling with me (you) sounds cool too
I have subscribed, and emailed your tutorial to myself so someday I will try to make one myself.You are a great teacher and would love to watch you add your goodies to your journals. Thank you so very much for your video, and I am in middle of May watching this video. Tfs cheers
This was very informative and it has inspired me to be ruthless and rip out all kinds of pages from the magazines I'm about to recycle! I usually just close my eyes and drop it in the bin... you have some very unique ideas and I'm enjoying your tutorials. Thanks for sharing. Yes the junk journal with me sounds great!
just discovered your channel a few days ago and LOVE everything you've been making. your instructions are so clear, THANK YOU!!! I, as I'm sure many, appreciate all your time spent on your tutorials. You're the BEST!!!!!
I love the leather look to your cover! I have been saving cereal boxes in order to make one for each of my daughters and one for myself! I am so new at this and am amazed at the beautiful things you have for your pages. Thank you so much for you detailed instructions. LOVE how you write it all down so that I won't get too lost!
Loved the your process on how to make a journal cover. Right now I’m using a gutted old book cover, this wii be my first journal with 2 or 3 signatures inside! I decided to step out my comfort zone & do a signature journal 🤭. I just love all your thick journals,, thats what inspired me to go outside my comfort level. I pray it turns out well I’m always doing one signature. TFS for sharing this video 🤗😊💕.
Wow, wow, wow!!! This was fantastic! Thankyou for breaking it down into achievable steps and for doing the written instructions - it makes it so much less daunting! Really looking forward to having a go at this! And, YES to the journal-with-me YTs! Thanks for all the hard work you put in to make tutorials. Hugs. Also - I bought a Journal from you last year, and it was just the other day I had it out again and was going through it slowly page by page enjoying the look and feel of it!!
Fantastic. I will definitely do this one. Can’t wait to play. Love your work and your videos are so detailed and easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing. I am in the middle on doing the used Envelope one first. 💕

Natasha you are so inspiring to me. I just love your videos. I have never made these paper beads. But my mother had two necklaces made from them. Now I can’t wait to make them!!!! Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
I would definitely be interested in watching you play in your junk journal! You called it a "Junk Journal with me" video series, or a now-and-again Junk journal with me, and YES, I would Love that!
Thank you so much Catherine :) Will do!
I have saved so much of this packaging. It is so nice to know useful things to do with it. Thank you.
The answer is yes: yes, you have inspired me, yes, this has given me the urge to make my own and YES I would love to see “Junk Journal With Me” videos, PLEASE. Thank you for presenting this in your special way, and making it seem approachable and doable. 😊 I love the way you joined the spine and sides of the cover. I’ve never seen that before.
Thank you so much Elizabeth :) I already have uploaded a few "Junk Journal with me" videos since this video :)
I love love the way you teach ....i love your patience on teaching and i love your ideas ...Best teacher for 2024🏆award in my book.....
You are a dear spirit! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creativity. I am grateful for your generosity and gift. 🙏🏼
Dear Natasa, No detail ever escapes you. This is soooo inspiring...especially the cover. Just a couple fyi's: your stitching around the sides of the cover is called whip stitch (don't ask me how I know that because I don't sew)and what you called "wall tape"...close. It is drywall tape to cover seams. Some call it Sheetrock or wallboard instead of drywall. Now how is that for totally useless trivia? Giving thanks this Thanksgiving in America for your kind spirit.
hehe Susan, thank you so much. I was calling it embroidery the whole time, and each time I would say it, I winced because I knew it was wrong, but just didn't know what else to call it. The wall tape - hehe, I knew it had the word "wall" in there somewhere. Thank you for giving me correct names, and its definitely not useless!!
I am new to the concept of junk journaling. I love collecting pretty things but never knew what to do with them until now 🙂 This video great. Thank you 🙏🏾
Wonderful! Thanks for watching :)
Hi, I don't speak English but I understood everything because you explain very well with your pretty hands :)
Thank you for these wonders.

I was mesmerised from start to finish. You are so inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos.
Hey from Canada, Natasha....a huge thank you for sharing this as I know it was a lot of work. You said in this video, "sometimes you get overwhelmed with all you can do to it" and I thought to myself, I am the exact opposite. I've never made a junk journal so I"m in the process of learning how to create one. I think I'm ready to start now. I want to thank you for the education and inspiration. I so love your work!
Your instructions are excellent. Simple and easy to understand. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.
Thank you Pam 😊
I have been binging on your wonderful tutorials for weeks. You have a wonderful way of teaching, and when you include your thoughts on how you get your inspiration, I love it. Thank you so much.
I love this! U inspired me to stitch a journal that's been waiting on me for 3 months. 😁 I would definitely watch a journal with me. Thanks Natasa!
Thank you so much Misty!
I like that she has directions written down....how organized she is!
I know it's been 3 years, but I just found you. I prefer your writing actually to the stamped word. I have been enjoying your videos and I LOVE the printed instructions.
This is the journal that actually put me into action. I am so excited about this style of Journal!
I love your voice, accent, and lucid instructions!
Thank you Debra!!
Natasa, you ALWAYS create the BEST tutorials!!! Thank you so much for sharing your talents!!! Hugs, Mary😘😍😍😍💕💕😘
Thank you so much my lovely friend :)
It was by chance yesterday that your content popped up. I am doing journaling but never heard about junk-journals before. All I can say after watching some of your videos: Absolutely amazing! Your creativity, style, superbe explaining and ideas are outstanding! Never again will I buy any journals now but have plenty of fun in future with my own projects. Thank you so much. I am especially delighted since I kept some lovely magazines for years due to some realy beautiful pages and always thought they are worth being upcycled. Now I know what for. So, thank you again, greezings from Germany. Besides: a happy and healthy new year 2024!
Your work is certainly exceptionally beautiful. I haven't seen anything like it . Very unique I love watching your videos ... keep up the great work
Thank you so very much 😊
I watched this through all the way and now I will be gathering all the materials and making this. I have just about everything except the white gesso. Thanks for sharing, this is great. It will make an awesome 🎁 gift. 👍❤️
I love how your mind works to keep and add certain things to your journal that others may have thrown away, such as adding things from your daughter's shoe. I have watched a couple of your videos so far and there are so many great ideas! Thank you for the time and effort you take to make and share your talent with us.
Thank you so much!
Beautifully done. So well illustrated!!
I love love love this. Thank you so much. Now I need a box of cereal.
I have enjoyed this tutorial so much. Thank you for sharing. I can proudly say, after following your instructions, I have completed the cover. Ok it has taken me a week but I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been a little distracted by watching some of your other videos and thinking ‘oh I can make that now’ lol. Now for the bookplate and organising my signatures. Xx😘
Wonderful! I'm so glad you feel inspired Liz, thats awesome!!
Beautiful Journal!! I love watching you create.
Thank you so much 😊
Yes! Journal with you is something i want to see! Junk journal always fascinated me because i collect lots of junk because i find it wasted to throw away but then I get stuck without knowing what to do with them. I’m sure a journal with you video will give me some ideas and inspiration to destash my junk ;)
Awesome, thank you! I will definitely do a junk journal with me!!
Love your work. Also loving the Keith Lemon advert.
Love to see a TRUE junk journal from start to finish.. fantastic inspiration... great leather look...and thanks for showing some of the possible decorations..... can't wait to make my own 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😁
Thank you Brigitte, I'm glad you like it!
I’m loving the idea of junk journaling with you sessions. I am binge watching your videos again and now that I’ve finally understood h what papers to put in, I can’t wait to start. I want to make some pages using my gel plate and leaves from garden to go with the “found”, junk art theme.. thank you Natasha for the professional and thoroughly well thought out tutorials - you’re wonderful generosity is much appreciated. ❤️
Thank you so much Julie!!!
Hi!
This is so pretty! I did something similar, but I didn’t use gesso. I didn’t know about it, I’m a newbie to all of this paper crafting. I’m loving it and I’ve learned so much from your tutorials! Thank you for that. With my project I used a brown paper bag and I used paper mache’ glue with a beautiful napkin which I separated. It did wrinkle, but I like the effect very much! I’m having problems binding my journals, but as time goes on, and I watch these tutorials, I’m learning so much! Have a great day!
Practice makes perfect!! I used to have trouble with binding but now I can do it with my eyes closed :)
Wow so amazing I watched all of it you do a great job on all of your journals 7m a beginner I ve done serval but I'll never be as good as you I'm trying I live watching yours
Thank you so much for writing everything down step-by-step. I’m writing down the glue. That way you make sure we understood. I’m a new phone or so for your awesome.
I made albums out of cereal boxes. i I made the one cover out of papers of the wrappers of Christmas oranges. I painted it after with gold paint and it is just now breaking after over 30 years. Everyone loves it.
As always, fun to watch & ideas start flowing in on how to put your various treatments to other uses! Thanks so much for your time and energy in putting these videos together for everyone.
Thanks for this tutorial! It's great to see someone is making an actual junk journal! We have come across so many paper and I always feel such a waste to trash them. This is definitely something I can make with those junk paper.
Love your junk journal video! Your instructions are so clear and easy to understand. I would love to see the inside of this journal when you start creating. Love your soothing, clear voice. Thank you for sharing!
This journal is actually COMPLETE and bursting at the seams. Here is the video: ua-cam.com/video/0kLVW8YcBO0/v-deo.html
Omg I'm never going to sleep again with all these ideas! I made your faux handmade paper yesterday and it was amazing! So pretty and my mind was filling with all sorts of things I could add. Now this! It's absolutely beautiful and glad to see you don't have to look at the actual cereal box for it to be called a Junk Journal, as I like to turn junk into pretty treasure, but would love to challenge myself to use simply junk and make it look as pretty as possible. Guess what I'll be starting today? ;) Thank you so much for your amazing inspiring videos they have really given me back my creative mojo x
I I love it, thank you!!!!!
I love every one of your videos and the projects you create. The written notes in the video itself are a great help in following along. Please do go ahead with your idea to post a series of "junk journal along with me" videos. Thanks so much for sharing you talents and creative ideas.
Thank you so much Diane!!
So fun, Natasha! You have inspired me to try to make this to look like birch bark for a Native American Journal. Love the way you connect your tassel. Avoids expensive findings and still very cool. Also love your sunflower/doily spread. So cute! 💖
Thank you so much Julie!!
Hi, I've subscribed and when I have somewhere to do crafts and art stuff I'm going to be having a go, started collecting stuff already. Love how you don't waffle with instructions and the written bullet points are great. A journalling with me (you) sounds cool too
Thank you so much Kat!!
Your beautiful works make me happy and excited. Thank you for sharing a good video.. I hope you have a great day.
I have subscribed, and emailed your tutorial to myself so someday I will try to make one myself.You are a great teacher and would love to watch you add your goodies to your journals. Thank you so very much for your video, and I am in middle of May watching this video. Tfs cheers
Awesome! Thank you! Have fun, and thank you for subscribing!
This was very informative and it has inspired me to be ruthless and rip out all kinds of pages from the magazines I'm about to recycle! I usually just close my eyes and drop it in the bin... you have some very unique ideas and I'm enjoying your tutorials. Thanks for sharing. Yes the junk journal with me sounds great!
Thank you so much Wanda!
just discovered your channel a few days ago and LOVE everything you've been making. your instructions are so clear, THANK YOU!!! I, as I'm sure many, appreciate all your time spent on your tutorials. You're the BEST!!!!!
Thank you SO much Cecilia!!
I love the leather look to your cover! I have been saving cereal boxes in order to make one for each of my daughters and one for myself! I am so new at this and am amazed at the beautiful things you have for your pages. Thank you so much for you detailed instructions. LOVE how you write it all down so that I won't get too lost!
Thank you so much Angela! Have fun :)
I thinking of a baby junk journal thanks for all the tips.😊
I love the step by step written directions.
Loved the your process on how to make a journal cover. Right now I’m using a gutted old book cover, this wii be my first journal with 2 or 3 signatures inside! I decided to step out my comfort zone & do a signature journal 🤭. I just love all your thick journals,, thats what inspired me to go outside my comfort level. I pray it turns out well I’m always doing one signature. TFS for sharing this video 🤗😊💕.
Thank you so much April, and have fun getting out of your comfort zone. If you can do one signature, you can do 2 or 3 or more!!
Wow, wow, wow!!! This was fantastic! Thankyou for breaking it down into achievable steps and for doing the written instructions - it makes it so much less daunting! Really looking forward to having a go at this! And, YES to the journal-with-me YTs! Thanks for all the hard work you put in to make tutorials. Hugs. Also - I bought a Journal from you last year, and it was just the other day I had it out again and was going through it slowly page by page enjoying the look and feel of it!!
My dear Jennifer, thank you so much :)
Fantastic. I will definitely do this one. Can’t wait to play. Love your work and your videos are so detailed and easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing. I am in the middle on doing the used Envelope one first. 💕
Thanks so much 😊 Thanks for watching!!
