Awww, you are so sweet! Thank you so much for your kind comment. I'm excited to get journaling again. See you back here for the April flip? I hope so. TFW and leaving your sweet comment! xoxo Joanne
OMG, I could watch that sheep all day, adorable! Thanks for the tips!!
LOL! I know...as soon as I saw that sheep I had to include him in my video...even though it has nothing to do with anything. Glad you enjoyed....TFW Shannon! xoxo Joanne
I'm loving the sheep! ...and your magazine journal how tos!
I am so thrilled that you are back to doing magazine journal flips--I am in the midst of doing my 1st mag journal and just loving it. I call it my Illustrated Journal as i have a written journal that I do daily...thank you for your tips...hugs, Julierose
Hi Julierose! YAY, so happy you're working on an illustrated journal and having fun doing it! I'm excited to be back at journaling (and I use that term loosely) I think it's more of a glue book really. Hope to see you right back here for the April flip. TFW and leaving your sweet comment. xoxo Joanne
Woohoo!!! I can't wait for your flip. so glad to have these tips. Blessings...
Hi Teresa! LOL....happy to hear you're looking forward to the flip...I hope it doesn't disappoint. I've been having fun and so happy I took the small break from it for a bit - it gave me some renewed inspiration. See you back here for the April flip. xoxo Joanne
hey! i was so happy to see a new video from you joanne. i cant wait for your flip. i like the subscriber's suggestions of a mid-month flip!! no pressure!! so glad you are continuing with your magazine journaling.
Hi Linda! YAY! Great to know you're excited about the journaling videos. Don't be encouraging that Sherri Reeves about mid-month flips (she's really a good friend). She would love me to do a video every day! LOL. Thanks for your sweet comment...see you back here in a few weeks! xoxo Joanne
You are an excellent teacher. You have explained so much and in such detail that we can all learn from you.
YAY happy to see you are baaaaaack to mag journaling. I look forward to your flip thru. Thanks for the great tips.
Hi Suzanne! OH, terrible pun - LOL! Happy you're excited about the mag journaling again - so far, so good, I'm enjoying it. I still haven't found my rhythm, BUT I know it will grow and change the more I do it. TFW! xoxo Joanne
Yay! Can't wait till the end of the month to see your creations.
Ah ha! She is back! Joanne, I want to do this with you as a commitment to myself! I don’t journal anymore and am sad for that! I will be following you with this! Thank you for sharing these tips! Your magazines are delicious! Much love🌹♥️🌹
Hi sweet Marci! I know what you mean about not journaling. I felt the same way, so it spurred me on to start again. I'm going to change it up a bit though and won't be journaling on a weekly basis - in fact no set days....we'll see how it all goes! Thanks for your support and I'm thrilled you're going to play along. Big hugs....xoxo Joanne
Woo HOOooooo!!!! Love your magazine journal videos!!!!!
Hi Jan! Thank you so much - so good to see you here. My plan is to film my month end flips at the end of the month (just as before). We'll see how it goes.....TFW and leaving your sweet comment. xoxo Joanne
Informative and inspiring Joanne! Back to magazine journaling....woohoo...love it.
Happy Sunday Morning!!!! Di

Hi Jeanne! Good to hear from you. I'm having lots of fun working in this journal - hope you enjoy the flip when I do it at the end of the month! See you then. TFW. xoxo Joanne
Great video and great tips! Love the sheep!!
Hey Anne! I loved that sheep too! Of course it had absolutely nothing to do with the video, but she was so cute and quirky I had to use it. I figured it would make people smile! Thanks for watching my friend, hope you're doing well. xoxo Joanne
Thank you for the tips! I look forward to seeing what you create!
Thanks so much! I love journaling and have really missed it, but it won't stop me from creating quirky characters too! TFW! xoxo Joanne
Thanks for the tips. I can't wait to see your flips. Now I am going to look at your old videos. Your pages are "eye candy" to me. Thanks for all you do!
Hi Anna Maria!!! YAY, happy you're still here and watching videos. I truly appreciate your support as I went through this creative slump. I'm still not 100% sure how I'll be journaling - I just started it and will figure things out as I go - LOL.....can you say, "seat of the pants?" See you back here for the April flip. TFW my friend. xoxo Joanne
I appreciate you sharing your experience. Thanks so much!
Hi Janet! I'm hoping that I can keep going with this journal. I'm doing it in a little different style, so we'll see how it goes! TFW. xoxo Joanne

i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the password. I would love any help you can give me!
@Samuel Emilio instablaster =)
@Christian Luka Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Christian Luka It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account :D
Great information, from a place of experience! I appreciate you. Be well.
The ewe did make me smile! This is the 3rd video in a row that I've watched on how to make a magazine journal; I never heard of them in the past. Now I'm intrigued! I will check out all your videos & see if one of those will work for me. I'm more word-oriented & don't have access to a lot of magazines anyway, as we just moved from CT to Ireland. But I really would like to make one!
I'm so excited that you are magazine journaling again! I am just about to begin my first one. I have been spending (way too much) time gathering images and such in preparation to start. Looking forward to the flips of your new journal!
Hi Tautchia! I am SO excited for you starting your magazine journal for the first time! I think you're going to love it. When you start, it's great to have a nice stash of images at your hands. Have fun, enjoy the process and I'll see you back here at the end of April for the flip!! TFW. xoxo Joanne
Thank you for sharing your tips. I'm excited that you're going back to them! Your mag journals are always amazing! Really look forward to seeing how you get on with them :) Love your cute friend too! ;) x
Hi Nikki! I'm excited to start journaling again, I've really missed it. It won't be exactly the same as the way I did it before, trying to change it a bit so I don't feel so overwhelmed to keep up. We'll see how it works out. See you back here for the month end flip! TFW! xoxo Joanne
Thank you for your tips. Very helpful.
Hi Julia! YAY, great news the tips were helpful for you. If you have any other questions, please just ask. TFW! xoxo Joanne
I think I’m going to convert to using a magazine journal with you. You totally inspire me. I have made several magazine journals inspired by you. Thank you
Hooray Irene! SO happy you plan on playing along - it should be fun! You know the ropes already if you've made several magazine journals, so have fun! See you back here for the April flip! TFW. xoxo Joanne
Great tips! Thank you.
Hi Tori! Great news - happy to hear you enjoyed the tips. TFW and leaving a comment. xoxo Joanne
Thank you for your tips Joanne, it is very helpful.. I love all your magazine journals.xxx
YAYYYYY! So glad you're back! Once again, I can anticipate your fabulous videos when opening RUclips. "I hope CraftyHodges has posted a new video!" will definitely be my new mantra❤️❤️❤️. Thanks so much😍
Hi Suze! You are just so kind! Thank you so much. I'll try not to disappoint and keep the videos coming on a regular basis. I am enjoying the journaling so far - it was great to take a bit of a break. Thank you so much for lifting my spirits this morning! xoxo Joanne
Love your magazine journals!
👍 thanks for sharing 😎
I haven't even started watching the actual video and I had to stop and just say I LOVE THE SHEEP!!!! I LOVE THE SHEEP!!......this has to be the best intro ever!!
LOL....I hope you enjoyed the rest of the video. I know the sheep had nothing to do with the video, but I just loved him too. Thanks for leaving your fun comment - it made me smile. xoxo Joanne
I did, I did! I watched the whole thing (which is unusual for me. I am only now discovering that I may have some sort of ADD...lots of videos just make me itchy because the video-maker takes too long or dithers and can't find sissors or glue, etc and I am saying "get on with it, woman!") and, oh, as I was saying: yes. I watched the entire video and loved it. I don't see how you "see" what you can do with a page. It is amazing!
You are SO sweet...thank you for making my day with your kind comment! Hope you'll be back for more....thanks so much for watching. xoxo Joanne
it is 9:00 a.m. and I just watched the sheep intro again. I just realized I like the sheep so much because I totally relate. I think I spend the entire day exactly like the sheep!! (just sort of looking around and chewing....)
LOL.....now you made me have to go watch the intro again! Thanks for the big laugh this a.m. xoxo
Hi Joanne, great tips on making a magazine journal, although I have tried twice and failed miserably and threw them out why can't I just make a pretty one like yours, I love your magazine journals they are always decorated so pretty and look amazing! :) Love the sheep at the beginning, she is super cute, can't wait to see your flip, I will be drooling lol :) Hugs my sweet friend, Susan xoxo
Hi Susan! Oh my friend, you sell yourself short. I'm sure your journals were just fine. I had another subscriber who wanted her journal to look like mine and I kept telling her that she needs to find her style. She practiced and practiced and she is now making gorgeous journals. Her name is Pramita and if you don't follow her, check out her journals. They are beautiful - totally different than mine, but reflect her style so well. Here's a link to her March flip: ruclips.net/video/vNNuOU_p_KU/видео.html Her RUclips name is: Journaler Pramita 2306
Let me know what you think....I think you'll like her style too. xoxo Joanne
Thanks Joanne, I will check her out. Honestly, mine were rubbish, they looked bulky, wrong size, didn't like what was in them, just a plain mess, remember I said I ended up just sticking in images to cover the paper? I didn't want a journal for sticking images in I wanted a pretty journal like yours that I could write in and add quirky things, but I'm not as talented as you are my friend :) xoxo Susan
Hugs to you my friend...I so want you to gain the confidence to do this. How about you move to the US and we'll do it together!! Please don't belittle your talents...you do have them. xoxo Joanne
Exciting news!! Your magazine journals are the best! So glad you didn’t abandon the process entirely. The new magazine looks like it will be quite substantial. Suspect we’ll see more collage in the new journal??? I have missed our chats and hope we can reconnect soon. Busy with this and that. Looking forward to April flip already! XOXOXO Grenae
Oh, and I love the sheep & the music!! Made me laugh out loud 😂
LOL....that's exactly why I put it in there - it had nothing to do with anything but I thought it might make people smile!
Hi Grenae! Thanks so much, it's been great getting back into journaling - the break did we a lot of good. The magazine is about 144 pages, but my plan is to just to use it until it's gone. No worrying about completing in a year, no daily journaling, etc. We'll see how it works...so far, having fun! YES, we need to talk soon. My time has been crazy too....xoxoxo Joanne
Thank you so much for sharing 😘😙
Thank you so much for sharing your 5 tips video! It is a wonderful treasure trove of information!
Hi Patty! YAY, I am happy you were able to make the time to watch this video - I think it has some important updates for making a magazine journal. If you have any questions, please just ask. TFW! xoxo Joanne
Yay! So looking forward to seeing your flips in your new journal! Thanks for the super tips too. Xoxo
Hi Trisch! Thanks so much. I'm planning on journaling just slightly different, so I'm hoping it works and prevents burnout. Glad you found the tips helpful. TFW my sweet friend. xoxo Joanne
I’m so glad you’re back!
Hi Gaye! Thank you so much. I've been back for a few videos now.....finally found my way back to journaling and I'm having a ball! Hope all is well with you - it's so great to see your name pop up again! TFW! xoxo Joanne
This is fascinating! I have never seen a magazine journal! Yours are gorgeous! Great video! Just subscribed to your channel!
Yay Joanne!! I'm so excited to know that you're rejuvenated and fully back to what you obviously love. Thanks for sharing great tips with us. I've got a couple journals started using previous tutorials you've shared using magazines. You are so appreciated for all that you share with your fans!! Be especially blessed in all you do!!
Hi Kathy! Yes, I do feel rejuvenated and ready to journal again. I didn't realize how much I missed it. I'm doing it just a bit different this time, so it's not such a drag on me and my time. So far, so good. See you back here for the April flip. Thanks for your super sweet comment! It made me smile. xoxo Joanne
Great tips Joanne! Can't wait to see your flip! xo
Hi Deb! I've been thinking about you lately and wondering how you're doing in your creative slump....the one we've been sharing together! I hope this kickstarts my desire to journal again - we'll see. TFW! See you back here for the April flip. TFW sweet friend. xoxo Joanne
Thanks for sharing these great tips.
I love love love your images or quirky faces. Oh my goodness. Will I find them in your quirky faces board on Pinterest? You are toooo cute
Hi Irene.....are you talking about the images in my journals? Yes, you wll find many of them on my Pinterest board. Many of them are from magazines, coloring books, children's books, freebie magazines and junk mail. I keep my eyes open constantly for images that I love. The hunt is half the fun. Hope that helps. xoxo Joanne
Yay! I'm so glad you have gone back to your magazine Journaling Joanne. Great tips too. Thanks so much. I eagerly await your flip video.
Hi Marion! Yep...I'm back at it. I guess I took just enough time enough to want to get back at it. I feel pretty excited about working in it again. We'll see how it goes - I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself so I don't burn out. See you back here for the April flip! TFW and commenting Marion! xoxo Joanne
I wondered if you have ever considered another binding method? A bunch of my girlfriends took their stamping catalogs to a local printer and had them cut off the glued hinge and had them put on a spiral hinge. They said they wanted to have the catalog lie flat in order to use the catalog like an idea book or fold a section back out of the way without ruining the book. Also, I think it would be neat to have a post ruler binding system like Tim Holtz's. I've collected a bunch of old school rulers from the thrift store to do just that.
Hi Dolores! Yes, I have tried the spiral binding, but I am left-handed and the spiral is a problem for me....so that's why I opt for no obstruction. I know what you mean about being able to fold it back - that's a nice feature. A post ruler binding system would be cool...collecting from thrift stores is an awesome idea - go for it!!! TFW. xoxo Joanne
Loved this one! I enjoyed your past magazine videos and this one is just as good. Thanks for the tips!
Hi Marisa! Thanks so much. I'm looking forward to getting back into journaling again. Still trying to find my stride, but I know it will grow and change the more I do it. Hope to see you back here for the flip. TFW! xoxo Joanne
HiJoanne! 1st loved your little furry friend at start&end😃 all great tips. you put so much time&work into yours. I attempted to do one once and scrapped it! its so involved, I give you huge props for all the ones you prepared&completed. hope youre having a great weekend😊
Hi Dimond Lee! LOL - that crazy sheep at the beginning had nothing to do with anything, but I just loved him, and of course, he is quirky! I understand about you scrapping your journal - I did it for 3 1/2 years and I burned out. I don't think this journal will be quite as involved....we'll see. Come back and watch if you have the time. xoxo Joanne
Craftyhodges sooo glad to see you again!! This was an amazing how to thank you for sharing!!!
Your magazine journals are AMAZING! Need to go back and review the videos I’ve already watched of you creating them again. The reason why is because I want to know how to add two or three magazines together. I know you showed us this. By the way that is a cutie at the beginning of video, lol
Cool Crafty Creations Thanks so much. I am happy you enjoy watching the videos. I’ve never put two or three magazines together though, not sure whose video that might be. If you do it, let me know how it goes. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Xoxo Joanne
Thank you for the great tips, and I do believe that the US magazines are a different quality paper to the ones we get over here in the UK. Some of the UK ones are so thin you can't do anything with them, it is just a matter of shopping around for the best one you can afford and even better if you can pick one up for free. Tfs xo
Hi Elizabeth! You can probably make any magazine work, it's just a matter of how you handle it. If the magazines are that thin, I think I would try and fine a stapled magazine and then do a pamphlet stitch to hold it together. Let me know if you have any questions. See you for the April flip! xoxo Joanne
Hi Joanne, it's always nice to spend some time with you, thanks for the tips. Love the sheep, she looks so happy, did she just get her wool done?🤗
Hi Karen! LOL...as you know, the sheep had nothing whatsoever to do with the video, but she was so cute and quirky, I had to use it!! Your comment about getting her wool done..too funny! Good to see you here Karen...TFW! xoxo Joanne
I love all the tips and I look forward to seeing your flip through😊. I really like the idea of recycled magazines, I’m going to try one. Thank you for sharing and have fun🤗💗!
Hi Kimberly! It's a great way to recycle magazines and I have to say that using a magazine journal has been my favorite way to journal ever. It's kept me the most consistent. Give it a try and if you have any questions, please just ask. TFW! xoxo Joanne
Thank you for the great tips! I'm getting ready to start my very first magazine journal and this video's timing is just perfect. I got inspired to do one by watching your other videos by the way. I love your channel and ideas. I can't wait to watch your flip through. :)
Hi Morena....thank you so much for your kind words! I'm excited for you to be starting your first magazine journal. I know you'll love it. It's so much fun and it feels so great in your hands. Thank you for watching my videos and leaving your comments! It is very much appreciated. Hope to see you back here for the April flip. xoxo Joanne
Thank you so much for sharing your magazine journal tips! I’m ready to start my second “quirky characters” journal!
Hi Jane - OMG, your second journal - whoa, you've been busy! So happy you're enjoying and having fun playing. That's so awesome to hear. TFW! xoxo Joanne
Not Baaaaaad Joanne Thanks for showing
Oh Laura....that was so baaadd! That sheep obviously had nothing to do with anything, but he was quirky and I loved him, so in he goes! TFW! xoxo Joanne
I put about 20 different little icons in my comment and it only registered the scissors! And it won't allow me to edit it! So: there were 3 different smiley faces, a bunch of hearts, a notebook, fireworks, thumbs up, applause and more but that's all I remember. It's all good though and I AM still HAPPY!!!
Oh yes, I got an email from RUclips asking me to talk to the lady who uses every single icon available - LOL! They all came in your second comment! Thanks so much for your support...hope you're feeling better. xoxo Joanne
It's only April and I think I'm going to do another magazine journal. Th one I made last year is a wonderful keepsake full of memories. Now....where on earth did you get that Breathe magazine. It's from across the pond and a little pricey.
Hi Kathy! YAY, you're going to play along with me?! You're right about the keepsake of memories. I started looking at mine over the years and it really means alot....to me. I bought the Breathe magazine at Barnes and Noble. It is pricey, I think it was like $14.99 maybe? Something in that range. But I loved it. Hope to see you back here for the April flip! TFW! xoxo Joanne
Thank you this really help. I'm ready to do a Quricky magazine. Hug Linda
Hi Linda! This would be perfect for your quirkies! You are getting a nice little stash and this would be a fun place to keep your work. If you have any questions, please just ask! TFW. xoxo Joanne
Great tips -- what kind of tape do you add to each page?
Hi there! I use washi tape, that's it. so easy and adds a nice decorative touch. Hope that helps....let me know if you have any other questions. Joanne
funny that you mention the somerset magazine... I was using one today for a journal and the glued page came apart. But it's ok it's only a magazine and I washi taped my page back... just hoping that the rest don't totally undoes itself or I will have to find another way to put it together.
Crafting Vicky Oh no Vicky! Seriously? Do you think the spine is broken? I sure hope you can salvage it. Xoxo Joanne
I hope so too... it seems like the page just unglued... so hopefully it was just that page. I will see anyway it's only a magazine right? So I can always find other ways to put it together if it doesn't stay put.
Your videos are so cool! I love this idea and am so excited to work along with you. I can hardly wait for the next video. One question. If I am using glossy magazine pages as my base, will my glue stick be able to hold things to that page? Or will I have the problem of it popping off?
Hi Bonnie! I LOVE that you're going to play along - yay! Good question about a glossy magazine. Are you going to glue printer paper to your pages? If not, then I would consider doing a quick sanding of the page - don't get down and scrub it hard, but rough it up a bit and be sure to use a good quality glue stick (like UHU) and be sure you use it liberally. In the journals I showed in this video, they all had glossy pages and the printer page sticked fine. A little experimentation might be in order. TFW! xoxo Joanne
Thanks! I will give it a try.
I have a couple of pictures to share with you on my new journal--nothing is finished yet--just a work in progress. How do I share things with you?
Bonnie Tyler Hi Bonnie....if you have a FB or instagram, post and tag me or you can email me.
thanks
knew you couldn't stay away!!! lol
Hey Denise....you knew better than me - I really didn't think I would pick it up again, but I really miss it. I'm going to work in a little different style - we'll see how it goes. I'm enjoying what I've got so far. TFW! xoxo Joanne
I can't wait to see what you come up with. I'm intrigued!
What is a magazine journal?
