Thank you! I am, but I rarely post creative things, it’s more personal pics and scenery etc. No idea why; I think maybe I’m just so in the creative groove I never think to take/post a photo. I’ll try to be better with that. My username is dally_k. Not sure if this will work, but this is the link to my profile: instagram.com/dally_k/profilecard/?igsh=MTZxazVvZjZ6N2I3MQ==

Awwww, thank you Mary Ellen, your words really warm my heart. ❤️❤️ I’ve missed you too, as not only have I not been making videos, I also haven’t been watching any. I’m going to take a day soon and binge all your videos I’ve been missing. Love that you’re gluebooking; it’s so nice to have a simple alternate to junk journaling, a nice change of pace to relax.

All the damn time. 😂

Thank you for your kind words Raewyn (beautiful name btw, is it Welsh?). Welcome to the amazing world of paper crafting! Heads up tho, it often goes hand in hand with the maybe not-so-desirable hobby of paper hoarding. 😂 I don’t always create a story in my collage; in some gluebooks, like my monochromatic colour ones, I just make a pretty picture. If you do enjoy the story type of collage, I recommend checking out @DokiDokiForest She comes up with the most delightful stores for everything she creates. Her imagination is wonderful. Hope your paper art journey is a fun one. If you ever have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! ❤️❤️

Thank you! My monochromatic colour Gluebooks were my first gluebooks, and are still my favourites. Working in one colour makes my heart so happy.

I’ve never seen one either! Not sure why though; I’m sure they would have been a hit with all kids from the last few decades. I have had a pad of black post-it notes for years; I totally hoard it and rarely use it because it’s so cool, especially with neon gel pens. Hehe

Ooo that’s a great idea! You can incorporate holidays in there, and anything associated with the month/season, from flowers to food to clothing. That will be a fun scavenger hunt for pics. ❤️❤️ If it’s okay with you, may I borrow this idea? I’m thinking of maybe having a monthly challenge, just one page each month, themed to that month, however each person wants to interpret it.

LOL. I’m so horrible to myself like that sometimes. Girl, just let it go, save yourself the stress. But I can’t stop! 😂

Thank you Robin!

Haha I’ll have to ask Emily if she has the room for stuff from you tho. Ive given her a handful of things here and there, but nothing huge. But as you are well aware, when you start JJing, it gets out of hand quickly LOL. A few months ago she was out thrifting and sent me a pic of some little golden books she found, asking if she should get them. I warned her that’s a slippery slope, once you start buying them, you can’t stop. 😂 Both Deb & I have more LGBs than well ever be able to use up making journals I’m sure. Besides goth, dark, and spooky, I know one thing Emily also wants is some wallpaper. I haven’t gone through mine yet, but am going to. As for Star Wars & Trek, for me/Rob it’s more trek than wars. For Deb, anything baby yoda, she adores him and loses her mind whenever she finds something with him.

Awww, thank you Mary Ellen! ❤️❤️❤️

I haven’t tried many of the best ones, the ones that claim they’re permanent, except for the scotch create, and they’re very good. They’re pretty expensive, $10 per 40g/1.4oz here in Canada, but if you’re in the US it appears you have more places you can buy them, whereas I can only get them on Amazon. I actually save those for making journals, and use my cheaper Elmer’s purple & dollar store sticks for my gluebooks, but I don’t care if images in those let go and need to be reglued.

@@JenniferDurdleArt thank you :)

Me too, they’re so stinking cute

But then I’d only see them for one month a year!

@@JenniferDurdleArt I feel like that is a bluff … for you of all people. 💕💕💕💕💕💕. “Let’s do all the art and fun and glorious colour and interest all year long! 💕💕💕💕💕”. Seriously … why don’t we have a Christmas shelf? Asking for a friend … 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Hi Alisha Hi Alisha, and thank you for all your lovely sentiments, it really warms my heart to hear I helped inspired your collage journey. ❤️❤️. I do remember you actually; you’re only the second person I’ve ever seen with the last name Stubbs. I don’t think it’s popular here in Canada at all, I think it’s way more popular in the southern US? I think I prefer the organizing part (that’s my adhd lol), but fussy cutting is a very close second. And that’s absolutely fine that you don’t sort your images! Many collage artists don’t and that system just works way better for them. To be honest, as I’m getting my image stash finally sorted, I think there’s are some images I’m not going to sort into categories, and just leave them in unsorted baskets. I’ve found that when I’m going to collage I am reaching for my bin of “images that need to be sorted” more than any of my sorted bins. I think all my favourite images in there, then all other images sorted into categories for easier finding. So, long story short, I haven’t even fully discovered what ways of sorting work best for me yet! As for your specific sorting questions: if I know I’m going to be making a specific journal in the future, I create a file folder or one of those plastic envelope things with that topic written on it, and anything I find while going thru my stash that’s in that theme, I drop it in its file. I’m currently using a cardboard box as I found one forger ago that perfectly fits a bunch of files stood up, but I may change that to a dedicated drawer in a filing cabinet, if I accumulate too much stuff. Some of the files currently in said box are: strawberries/strawberrry shortcake, coffee, chocolate, bees, 80s/90s. Some did get really overstuffed tho, so got their own individual plastic scrapbooking paper storage cases, the ones Michaels puts on sale all the time. For now they’re stacked on top of my big ikea Kallax unit; not sure if that’s going to the their final home though. Also, fyi those plastic storage containers don’t fit in the kallax, so aggravating! With images where I love both sides equally, and I can’t choose between them at all, I save them. I put them aside and go back and reevaluate them in the future. You could also scan one side and print it out, then you could use both pics. A bit about this tho, images in books, magazines, etc ate copywritten (unless they’re 100+ yeas old), so while you can copy them and use them in your personal projects, don’t use them in anything you’re going to sell. I’m happy to answer any of your questions, so don’t hesitate to ask! And once I get my image library all sorted, I’ll make a very in-depth tour video. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

You are very welcome! I’m getting closer to having all my images organized, and will post an update video once I have it all done!

The circus journal may have to be the next one I make. ❤️❤️

Hello Crystal from the Bronx, so nice to have you here, and thank you for your kind words. I have a huge love affair with NYC, it’s my absolute favourite place on earth! ❤️❤️

I wish I was a couple decades younger, I would have loved to given it a try. I definitely don’t have the arm/leg/core strength this must require.

Right? I learned a lot. I❤️

Omg that’s an amazing idea!! You’re brilliant Mary Ellen! ❤️❤️

It’s amazing how many people world wide know and love LM Montgomery’s stories. You know, I’ve somehow never read Emily of New Moon; I’ll have to do so asap. It’s wonderful you have some of LMM’s journals, what a treasure. I hope someday you are able to visit PEI, it’s a very beautiful place. Take care Rosemary, and thank you for watching. ❤️

He is very much a keeper! I’m spoiled rotten, almost as much as the cat. 😂

Thank you!! 😊

Thanks for subbing! Happy to have you here ^_^

Alas, not in my case. They apparently like to eat wool and paper, both of which I have in abundance in my studio. Would have been a great place for him to winter, if he had just kept quiet. 😂

@@JenniferDurdleArt oh man didn’t know they ate paper and such yeah he should have kept quite 😂😂

Welcome Patti! I love it when people create along with me! 🥰

Thank you so much!

Thank you Robin!

Thank you!

Yes! I harvested the few pics I liked, then decided to just use the book itself as a Gluebook, because I love the size of it and the spiral binding.

@@JenniferDurdleArt Thanks

LOL that’s awesome. If I remember correctly, it’s from the Simpsons? Good old Homer. Hehe

@JenniferDurdleArt yup..and he was like " I am so smrt"

Thank you madame! ❤️❤️

Thank you!

Sure do! It’s a super cute address book I repurposed. Easy Junk Journal Made From An Upcycled Binder! How-to & Flip Thru! ruclips.net/video/RICUuc4eCZg/видео.html

Thank you! It’s so fun to work in

Thank you, it sparks much joy in my heart.

I’m glad it was helpful. You should give it a try; I find it’s a nice, relaxing break from making journals because it is definitely easier on the brain.

It really is! It does help motivate me to get out of bed in the mornings to go for a walk. ❤️❤️🌊

Thank you! I’m making it for my “#1 fan”, a friend’s little girl. ❤️

Yeah, I’m sad you couldn’t come too. We’ll plan better next year ❤️❤️

Yeah, I’m sad you couldn’t come too. We’ll plan better next year ❤️❤️

Yeah, I figured out to not pre-cut tiny delicate areas the hard way. 😆

Haha oh yes! We’d be kicked out of the market I’m sure. LOL
