I share short videos of finished junk journals along with instructional tutorials and creative tips to inspire and help those interested in making or possessing unique, hand crafted artisan books.
I especially love old papers and ephemera! And I love writing, books and all kinds of fibers, lace and ribbons. It’s natural for me to combine all my loves into making books and share them here with you. I created my first collage with a whole box of bandaids when I was just a little girl and I have been seeing the beauty in everyday things ever since. I adore mixed media art from grungy to shabby chic to classic and especially vintage styles. Collage, assemblage, printing, dyeing and especially altered books are just a joy to me. I find deep satisfaction in recycling all kinds of common materials in something as wonderful as a re-made book.
Weedy barnyards, farmhouse attics and urban thrift shops are my favorite places, particularly when I can carry home a treasure of paper and lace.

Very lovely journal Kathleen. I love all of your tucks, flips etc that you put in your journals. Hope you have a lovely weekend ☺♥
@@JoansJunkJournalsAndMore Thanks very much Joan!
Your expert stenciling is my favorite part of this journal!!!TFS
@@ginachristopherson7525 Oh thanks so much Gina! That makes me happy.
Beautiful, I love it.
@@katheriner9613 Thank you very much Katherine!
😍❤️ another beautiful journal.
@@carolbeeding4270 I’m so glad you think so Carol - thank you!
I made powders from broken-off pieces of pastels and Inktense blocks. I put them in a scrap of muslin, tied up with a rubber band. I often rub them over a whole page , to tint the paper before drawing.
@@anniegabriel5892 That’s a genius idea Annie! Thank you for sharing it!
Beautiful ❤
Wonderful idea oh my goodness that is so nifty
@@nettieblanchard3622 Thank you very much Nettie!
Oh my goodness, this journal is so precious and beautiful ❤❤❤ I love all the pages, ephemera and interactive elements ❤❤❤😊😊😊 Your creativity is outstanding ❤️
@@virginiamartin-authorspeaker thank you very much - that makes me blush!
Gasp! Adorable!!!
❤
Cuteness overload love it so much! Don’t like fairies they move stuff in my craft room and refuse to clean up after themselves lol it’s not me it’s the fairies 🧚 lmao😂
Love it!
@@JustAprilakaJuJu Thank you so much JuJu!
Great 💡! ❤ interactivity I watch before but was too busy playing to leave a comment lol 😂 had to come back drop u a line
@@JustAprilakaJuJu Aww- thanks so much April, for the double time, haha!
Omg it is so cute! I love all your flips and flaps and tucks ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@JustAprilakaJuJu I’m so glad you think so April! Thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous! I adore the colors of autumn! This is really a lovely, journal, Kathleen! We are still in summer weather here in Kansas & it looks like we’ll still have this weather going into November! The trees are starting to rebel, however, & I’m so glad, these colors just can’t be beat! Hope you’re having a wonderful week! Erica❤
@@ericastannard2635 Thank you so much Erica! I love autumn colors. We also have been enjoying these late warm temperatures - thanks for the connection!
I wish you could write a book. Ever considered it? You have such unique creative ideas that are hard to process in a video. It would be a huge task I know. Your style is one I admire and wish I could install you in my craft room for continuing inspiration. LOL!
@@bettystychno5723 Well, I’ve never considered it Betty, but I thank you for the lovely compliment. I’m also old school and would rather look at a book than about anything.
The most beautiful journal !!! ❤
@@LynnDespatie Thanks so much Lynn! Very kind. 😊
Very pretty journal! I love the rich hues of color. Your journal’s are always filled with wonderful ideas. Thanks for sharing.
@@carrieschaetzel8649 Thank you very much Carrie!
Love the Autumn colours and especially the 'patchwork' cover. Lots of great ideas again, thanks for sharing 🤩
@@cottonconfetti Thank you Davina and thanks for keeping my back!
So lovely, I absolutely love the stencilled leaves and the colours are beautiful!
@@sheilabartlett6044 Thanks so much Sheila!
❤
@@markpaige4795 Thanks very much Karen!
What a charming, whimsical autumn journal, Kathleen. I just love those bright colors and especially all of the stenciled leaves in those tones. The interactive pockets and flips are so fun, and of course, the authentic ephemera is always a favorite of mine. I read '24 on that prescription, too. Isn't it shocking that it is 100 years old? I had to stop the video and read that apple cake recipe. Sounds delicious. Interesting that it's baked in a shallow broiler-sized pan. Enjoyed this flip through as always. The little blue rose bead on the closure is sweet, too. I always love your journals.
Oh thanks Linda! Ephemera is one of my favorite aspects of junk journaling. I just think all these old papers are so fascintating and I’m so glad they were saved by somebody! I so appreciate your support Linda!
@@BeAgainBooks I agree about the old papers. They tell a story, or at least part of a story. I'm always trying to fill in the details in my mind. You're welcome. I am blessed by your sharing your artistic skills and talents.
Fun indeed! Hugs and blessings, 🤗❤️🇨🇦
Aww -thanks so much for the hugs and blessings Laura!
Just beautiful, Kathleen. I love the colors and that paper!
@@dakielty Aw thanks Dorothy!

@@patriciajordan4671 Thank you Patricia!
love it! the scarecrow is so cute 🎃🎃
@@suelawson4011 Awww - thanks so much Sue!
beautiful! love this way of using up envelopes, thanks for sharing Kathleen😍
Glad you like it Sue - thank you!
The mood board is brilliant.
Thanks very much!
@@BeAgainBooks thank YOU. I'm guessing it saves a lot of time and heartache. I'm on my second journal, and I'm finding that whatever my original plan was, I end up diverting Pretty far away from it as I go. 🤷♀️ My projects develop a life of their own. About how long does it usually take you to put together a mood board?
The time just honestly depends on how complicated the project is. I don’t do it for every journal - only the ones that are kind of stuck in my imagination. Themed books are pretty easy to just go forward with or styled journals - like steampunk or shabby chic. I do often put things together in a “mood bin,” or a project bin. But I think it’s a good thing when a project takes on a life of its own.
Gorgeous! Filled with so many ideas and colour! Love this whimsy filled journal!
@@Mommyoffive4Him Thank you Kerri!
First, what a fantastic journal! Love your artistry. Second, I am so grateful for RUclips's algorithms and the fact your video came into my suggestions to watch. Third, your closure is perfection! Can you possibly do a video showing how to do this? And, if you've already done so, would you share the link? Thanks so much!💙💙💙
@@sherrireeves8110 Thanks very much Sherri! Yep, done that - here’s the link. Button Elastic Closure for a Junk Journal ruclips.net/video/uDmxt8AJOHM/видео.html

Thank you Lorna! 😊 I’m glad you like it.
Very pretty. The recycled notecard with the punched out butterfly is a nice addition. I also really like the way you used an Ideals page to create a pocket in the center of one of the signatures.
@@CPcomments Thank you! I appreciate you!
Beautiful!

Kathleen this is awesome❣What a great way to incorporate an interactive element and use up the tons of envelopes we accumulate. You have such a great eye for color and balance in your decorating. I learn so much from your videos. TFS hugs and stay well.
@@inaboucher144 Thank you Ina! That makes me very happy - hugs back!
Fabulous!! I love how you take something as simple as an envelope and create something so interactive and fun! This will definitely be added to this Twee journal I'm making! Thanks again, Kathleen! Looking forward to the flip-thru!
