My mom is constantly judging me because I'm a hoarder. I just can't throw stuff away. But things like this, journals and other DIY stuff give me the perfect excuse😂😂
Magi V me too! Lol my kids and Husband always grrr irritated about it with me. But I've gotten alot better. Now I just keep one large boot shoebox for all my scraps and I put little charmy or bead or small things in a really tall pill bottle and that gets thrown in the box too.. My rule is if it doesn't fit it doesn't go in. You should try the one in one out rule. It makes it alot easier bc then you kind of know which things you really want to keep if you have throw something out to put something in.
Johanna, this is a stunning book as always !!! I absolutely adore every one you make. You are the most creative journal artist I've ever seen. Love love all of the pages and ephemera, and especially the way you collage stuff together. You're just amazing. TFS.
Oh. my. goodness. This is fabulous! I love this. What a great idea for the envelopes from birthday and anniversary cards. I had a project in mind for my cards but I would have had a hard time getting rid of the envelopes but now I know exactly what I'm going to do with them. You are so creative and inspirational. I hope that you will share your wedding projects with us when you're ready. Thanks for sharing.
Aww thank you so much Monica!! I just can't bear to throw away those envelopes so this is a great way to just incorporate them into my journals and keep them forever. I will share my wedding projects soon! Hugs! X
Fabulous journal! I love all your journals, but this one is special. Maybe because you made it to work in yourself. Thank you for sharing your great ideas and for providing so much inspiration!
Thank you! Quite possibly, because I have been hoarding a lot of that stuff as I felt it was so 'me' - I rarely put all my favourite things together as I want them to go a long way, but this one is purely things I love! I think that's why it's special 😊 TFW
What a beautiful junk journal! Some of those pages with kids story book pages and some of the kids work sheets remind me of when I was in grade school! What we learned to read with and other things. Brought back memories. Love the bird pages. So pretty. TFS! :)
You will never regret having ephemera with your Grandparents’ handwriting. How I wish I had thought of this earlier in life when more documentation would have been available to me. The bits I have are treasures indeed. Thank you for sharing this journal. 😊
Martha Strickland my grandmother has the most beautiful handwriting and I’ve cut her signatures out of cards she has sent me over the years and I’ve put them in my glue books. She will be 94 on March 26, 2019
What an amazing journal. I love how you actually make books for you to write in too. I cannot wait to see a quick flip through as you use it. Great inspiration for us all.
So much cuteness! Attempting to do a TN junk journal for a recent vacation. Planning to stitch together but not sure how much space I will want for photos. So helpful to me to see that you just washied in some pages later. Won't feel like I have to commit too early to sewing if I can add more space later. TFS
Hokey smoley girl, this is jam-packed! It'll be even more so once you write in it etc. I wish I knew how to assemble art/ junk journals!!! I just don't understand the process of binding the signatures and such. The pillow case was ingenious! I have an old pillowcase I cherish and want to make one like you did with it! Thank you! As soon as I figure out how to assemble the envelopes and paraphernalia... I will be making me one!!! Thank you!
Thank you soo much! I've had a lot of people say the same thing, about binding being daunting for them. So i'm going to try and put together a super simple tutorial for you all! It's really easy- you can do it! Lol as for the pillow case idea it was almost a happy accident as I didn't intend to do it, but so happy i thought of it before I chopped it off! Lol thanks so much for stopping by!
Johanna love this journal you put together the book cover and the pages you use inside I remember the book loved it and also a lot of pattern packs it all bring back good memories thank you so much for sharing have a bless day love and hugs
That's so cool that it bring backs memories for you the book was so adorable I kind of wish so much of it didn't get covered up in the end! Thanks so much for watching XOXO
The buttons are cute! I immediately looked in my cupboard, but unfortunately I don't have an old pillowcase with that extra pocket that I would like to use as an cover. LOL. But really nice idea! I was also just thinking, maybe if you take the back pocket of an old pair of jeans and if you can't sew like me, glue it on with hot glue, maybe decorate it with acrylic paints, sure looks great too. And I love the idea of collaging first, so that you need only one pen and can use the book on tour and not only when you are at home, at your desk.
This is the first video of yours that I watched a while ago and I think this is one of my absolute favorite journals!! I love your journals and your videos. You have been such an inspiration to me Johanna!! Thanks for sharing all your fabulous work!!! xoxo
Lots of inspiration here Johanna. Thank you. I really liked how you used the pages of children’s books and also how you used washi tape to add more pages.
How large are your Journals usually? I for some reason can't find Books and papers that would make Journals Bigger than an A5 and that only if I'm Lucky.... But I'd like to make one bigger than that.
wow, Johanna, love this journal...the cover is stunning and quite a clever idea! love all the pages - so beautifully decorated....i'd write a lot in this one too ; ) really nice!! xX
The cover kind of just happened almost by accident lol. I can't thank you enough for all the pieces from you, they were perfect in this book and I just haven't had the guts to really dive in and use a lot of it until now! XX
I loved this so much... I literally finished the video and started putting a fabric cover for a new journal together! If you have finished filling in this journal it would be really awesome if you could do a flip through 😊🌺 Love all your videos so much... Thank you for all the inspiration!
I looooove this video, johanna! You are a very creative person, and i am super inspired. I love that you made the cover out of a pillowcase! LOL:-) i wish i had a journal like yours. Keep up the good work! 😄
+Johanna Clough hey, johanna! Tnxs for replying so quickly. Unfortunately, i am only 13 years old, and i do not have the ephemera that you have. It is so fun watching journaling videos, though. LOL!!! Anyway, thanks again! 😁
Hi Johanna, I just rewatched this video and love, love, love it. Would you consider doing a process video so I can follow or sort out what is the base journal and what is all rhe tip ins and add ons?
I’m a pre-school teacher and any really special pictures etc I color photostat. You can even do it onto card. Then you can keep your precious originals 😊🇿🇦
Great method how you doing cant wait to get mine like i had told you my daughter is a bus driver she had done. Other things. In her life be back in 5 mins. To tell rest her music. Dog. She lives the country life .
Hi Johanna, such a lovely name. I really love this journal you've created. One of my favourite parts is how you've incorporated those pattern envelopes...I have so many and never once thought of using them like that. I turned many of mine into cards. I would love to know where you buy your washi, it's so pretty. Merry Christmas...I'm very late coming to this video. Amanda xox
Beautiful journal. I just love how you make these.. I never have the patience or the skills to sow my journals, I always glue the signatures and it turns out badly 😂 Have fun using this journal!
Have you ever tried stitching? I might put a super simple tutorial up soon?? It's just the fear of the unknown- it's very easy once you try it once or twice! Thanks so much for stopping by XX
I'd love to a simple tutorial from you, I have tried stiching once and the signature didn't turn out well, and i've tried watching tutorials but I just never had the patience for all of the instructionns.. But then again, the stiched journals hold on so much better, so a tutorial would be great!
This is my favorite book so far! I noticed a lot of your papers had holes punched on their sides. What were they originally used for? Love, love, love your channel!
I love your book. What I love about it is that it's not full of tags, tags, tags. I love the ephemera you use. What is the name of the bird book.? I love birds.
What size is this book? I know how to fold a sheet of copy paper in half and stack several to make signatures. But this seems much larger. Which I like. But where do you get paper this size?
wow!!!!!! is all i have to say I'm so amazed by this I'm so so inspired m actually going to start make one tomorrow i just subscribed but how amazing your very good at what you do any tips on getting started
caitlin moss yay thank you! I would say grab a big pile of papers you love and just go for it! Anything that speaks to you or inspires you should be in there. Have fun!
I’ve also started keeping special bought soap covers that they come in to make pockets with as sometimes they have lovely pictures and are made of good strong paper and they smell nice too 😊
Hi Johanna. New subscriber - beautiful work... I've been trying to access Feed The Birdies Etsy store, but can't locate it via the link you've given. That lady has nothing for sale, and doesn;t look like she ever has... Am I missing something?! Thanks very much :o) Helen x
Helen Ayres Hi Helen, i'm so sorry i'm not actually sure! I do know that Trina has an active instagram account which is @feedthebirdies where she also sells, so if her etsy seems inactive I would check it out xx

Thank you so much Jennifer! ❤️
In my humble opinion, this is your best and most beautiful junk journal😊 🇧🇷
This is honestly one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. It's so, so lovely!
Lovely book! I too love vintage children's books and can't wait to incorporate them into a journal like this. Thank you for the inspiration!
Jo Anne Owens thank you so much!
What an amazing journal. I love how you actually make books for you to write in too. I cannot wait to see a quick flip through as you use it. Great inspiration for us all.
Thank you so much! I've already started writing in it! So much fun. I will probably share a flip through when it's finished eventually XX
So much cuteness!

Love this Johanna your so creative! Thank you for sharing I'm learning a lot from you
I LOVE your book! So cute and fun!! Lots of ideas!
Can you make a video on how to cover a journal with fabric? Or if there are any good ones that already exist can anyone add the link?
Please! I am lost at how to begin.
How large are your Journals usually? I for some reason can't find Books and papers that would make Journals Bigger than an A5 and that only if I'm Lucky.... But I'd like to make one bigger than that.

Yes I love Mary Ann Moss (Remains of the Day) Style
Your work it’s so lovely 😊, I love your videos, you gave me a lot ideas 💡🌻

Beautiful as always! You inspire me!
What do you normally write in your journals Johanna?
Love this journal.. beautiful! Have you done any follow-ups or flip through some? 😉
This is beautiful. But, how in the world do I get started on something like this?
Just start keeping things that catch your eye. Get a gallon zip bag and just start puttinf things in it.
It's brain-shattering easy. Just give it a go. Hope you have by now.
Super-gorgeous perfectly fun junk journal! :)
Thank you so much Wenche!! 💜
This is a real pretty book! At least I found someone else, who likes to write in such interesting books and not on boring blank pages.
Thank you! Yes it makes it soo much funner! X
This is a great junk journal. I love it. TFS
I'm hoping that we'll get to see a flip through of your wedding guest book sometime. I just love your style!!
Of course! I will share it as soon as I get it finished 😊😊 thank you so much!
I love that book. You're really creative, Yoie! ;)
Bible journal s

What size is this book? I know how to fold a sheet of copy paper in half and stack several to make signatures. But this seems much larger. Which I like. But where do you get paper this size?
When you say you add a page with washi tape do you mean after you have made signitures and sewed the signature into the book.?
These journals people make are beautiful, but do they actually write in them?
