    No, no no -- scraps are great !! I tried to explain to my daughter why some day she might find lots and lots of them in my craft room. She thinks I'm just a paper hoarder, LOL, but I know we all understand the deal about scraps! I love your ideas, they're fantastic!!

    I watch a LOT of junk journal videos. This one blew my mind. So many unique and fresh ideas. I love your style! Don’t get me wrong… I love grunge and vintage, but your pieces are so fresh and clean, while still being junky and scrappy. 😂 BTW - that’s a BIG compliment. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos!

    I love your ideas!! Especially the specimen cards! So cool! What about a potential quote like “walk in someone else’s shoes for a while”. I’m sure we could refine that with some thought but yes, I personally love the idea of randomly putting stuff into specimen cards! Great potential for color and creativity etc! Tear open in case of emergency!..beautiful!! I love that you have so many ideas which allow sparks of ideas in us!! Imagine how many ideas eventually come from your lovely beginnings!TYSVM!!!💕💕

    First time on this channel, and I LOVE the simplicity and freshness of these ideas! My favourites are the quirky specimen cards - SO much more fun than the usual ones! I love the humour of them, and they look great. The cards with the little coloured hearts, also the ones with the anatomical hearts blew me away - some really sophisticated colour ideas here. Love how coherent they look - and all in the true "junk" spirit! I'm going to go and check out your videos - though there's enough in this one to keep me going for months.

    • @SleeplessPage

    I am writing a huge list of ideas, thank you. I love the specimen card with the shoes - kind of reminds me of Renē Magritte work - he did a painting of a pipe with the words "this is not a pipe" under it, and a framed oil painting of a wedge of cheese under a glass dome - so anyway, maybe you could add "Fig. 1" next to it at the bottom, subtle but gives the idea of specimen card. Very cool work, thanks for sharing!
    I would totally work with a little bag of scraps - I like working on a small scale and I love the restriction of only using limited supplies. Maybe I would add another type of element - twine, fabric, teabag or label it with a journal prompt maybe?

    Hi! I'm new here and I just subscribed because I can already see that you think outside the box, and I love that in a junk journaler. I totally love your idea of putting scraps in a specimen card! I was thinking I could put threads in there from my ort jar. It's almost like a shaker when you use the tiny stuff. But I love that you now have me thinking about what other things would be interesting to put in a specimen window.

    • @SleeplessPage
      @SleeplessPage  26 дней назад

      I may have just gotten lucky bc the paper doesn’t cling to the plastic. When I’ve made regular shaker cards, I will often add one dimensional feature with the sole purpose of lifting the plastic a bit so that the shaky parts can properly shake. Added your request to my filming list- thank you for the suggestion and thank you for being here, friend!
