I have started using my scraps to make a master board book. I have found that I really like using the inside of business envelopes because they have such different prints on the inside. I use those prints and then I add graph paper, music pages, and book pages along with newspaper sections. They look great!
I DID make master board scrapbooks with you a while back. I made three as well and actually lost them for a bit when I tidied up my craft room, although they have since turned up again. Yes I flip through them and no I haven't cut into any of them yet, but I have scanned several pages and thoroughly enjoy using them. Oh! And I meant to tell you... This overthinking thing we do? Yeah, we'll, for one master board I really, truly didn't do it - just glued stuff down willy nilly and Tina, it was awful! Perhaps there's a happy medium between the two - overthinking and not caring - that we might call a tiny bit of artful consideration. Hugs sweetie, and I'll see you tomorrow, MK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗
When I finished my master board I felt the same way. So I took it to my printer and made copies on typing paper. And used the copy. I made copies on both sides so the copies were very beautiful and useful.
Very easy Ways to use Old book pages and also other book pages ❤🎉 Lovely Creativity 🤩 I'm your new subscriber 🤩 I'm not commenting on your video's but but but I watch your every video and fully watched ❤ You and other journal Creators doing great job 😍😚 Love you sweety ❤
I love this project. And really enjoy collaging and watching collaging 😊 I love the sound of paper ripping. I sometimes use a few pages to make the base of my collage and sometimes I make it with all different things and allow myself to do crazy random stuff.
I love collaging. Find it so relaxing. I use up my scraps doing master boards and snippet rolls. I use everything but sort the scraps into colour families. I find the boards look great and are easy to cut up into useful bits for tags,belly bands,tucks, etc. Tfs your master board creating techniques. 💞🇨🇦
Totally not boring to watch, it is relaxing, it is inspiring and now I need to sit down and do my own. I used an old journal with thick paper, for some reason this book was to large to really use as a journal, but now I can totally cover up those large pages and perhaps I don’t even cut it apart, but use it for what this book was intentionally meant for.
Hey Tina, thank yu for your amazingness you are a wonderful creative person, I love your work - you are fabulous in your own way, no one is your calibre of artist in my opinion...congrats on your store and your journals are just beautiful and wonderous! Hugs from Canada
Love using a variety of text pages. Size and type of font and different languages all add to the interest of the base master boards I like to make. Hugs and blessings, 😂❤️🇨🇦
Tina I love the pages you have done! What a great base and honestly they look pretty just as is! That last piece, when you turned it over…lol! I was thinking exactly what you did! Can’t wait to see how you use them! I think I could try something like that! 💜
I absolutely LOVE collage! It really does depend on my mood. Sometimes I mix it up and sometimes I match it up. Most of the time it's about the intensity of the color, ie: neutral, pastel, analogous, monotone, jewel tones, etc. I also look at texture(pattern)and contrast. Sometimes I just start glueing random pieces and see what happens.
I really like to use vintage book and magazine paper, all kinds of tan and brownish papers. I think they appeal to me more than a mish/mash of colors. Sometimes I use colors but all in the same family. I use my masterboards for tags and journal cards. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I can't wait until you start cutting into your masterboards to use them!
I used a large puzzle book and covered all the pages at base form, and haven’t been able to bring myself to use any yet lol! I love them. Thank you xx❤
I LOVE the way all the collage is kept in one place and safely. Then when I want to use it for a project background it's ready to go. I'm a retired elementary teacher so have access to these types of books. I watched Rachel do the same thing in an encyclopedia. That is too big for me to store. This idea is much better and doable for me. Thanks for sharing.
What wonderful collage play. My collage play always looks like a giant mess. Have a fabulous weekend. Sending love and big hugs Sherry PS continued prayers for you and your family.
I've done the same thing with an old 12" x 1 2" wall calendar. (Well, started it 🙈). Oh it's impossible not to over think. I like joie's 'over under' method plus my need to balance out in threes😄 can't under think that 🙊. I haven't flipped through but yeah using them is difficult🙈. You've got me inspired to do some more. I did use one making those punched out frames with you. I always intend to buy vintage ephemera but get side tracked by other things🙈. I do stick to colour families plus a neutral. Yes some can mix it up really well. I just can't pull it off. Lol yes, what's the secret? Art journaling on them sounds fun! With me being a painter I do compositions, I should try to let loose with it. I can't hear your printer, wonder if I'm going old age deaf 🙉😄. Yeah what is it with buff/brown? I've scanned these before but they never print as nice for me, maybe my settings. Yes, they're not samey at all. Oh you're not boring, you're my crafting buddy😁. It's like painting a background, pointless getting it perfect to cover it up later. But it's a struggle lol. Something magical about genuinely old things.I joined you in 2019 just before Christmas, and the pandemic. Looking gorgeous 😍. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖
Yes I really enjoyed making a couple of these! And yes! I am definitely hoarding them! Just can’t cut them up! 😂I made one from Christmas scraps. The other I made from just scraps of papers and book pages and whatever I had on hand and that’s the one I love the most! I put way too much thought into it for sure. I am impressed that you used that vintage music cover. That is something I would hoard! I have an old Bach music book and for heaven’s sake you’d think it was his personal collection 😂😂🫶🏼
I’m an over thinker in all aspects of my life. It is very difficult to overcome. I work in a library tearing apart books and paper goes against everything in my day to day life.
I too love books but many hundreds of books are recycled daily, charity shops even stop accepting them so try to look at it as giving books that would end up in the bin are being made beautiful again. X
Great idea for us newbies. I will probably do it with digitals and reproduced documents before using vintage stuff. Your technique of limiting the number of documents makes for successful collaging. ❤❤❤
I do enjoy watching you make your master boards, it’s a great idea to do it in a book so they are all contained also 😀But being from Western Canada where vintage ephemera is a rarity it’s a wee bit painful too as I am thinking the whole time…ooo I hope that was scanned! I mean even the yellowing and the browning of the pages are stunning but when there is handwriting, even a scribbled note, it makes the piece even more precious!TFS!
Hello Tina. I am a new subscriber. I heard from you from Jay, from Jay's Journaling. I love all these tips. I am really doing my journaling much different now. Have a beautiful Sunday. Xxxooo ❤️
Hello from Canada. I'm looking for ways to create a journal book. Hadn't thought about using a children's book. Thanks for the idea. I'm also making atcs next week with the idea of creating a masterboard the size of 4 atcs, then cutting them into individual cards. I like what you did. Will be looking around for paper scraps now. 😊
I love to make Master boards. I made a couple with joy defeat that were so beautiful I could not cut them up. So I made copies of them and I use the copies. But usually I have no trouble making a master board and then getting right at it and cutting it up into things I can use.
I love the master board book concept. It is a great way to let loose and then reap the benefits later when completing a project. I suppose my experiences in art school have influenced my approach to junk journaling and all the elements that go with it. For instance, ephemera to me is something that is fleeting or not meant to last. I am sure it would offend some people, but I use originals and I am unashamed. The fact is, just because something is “vintage” doesn’t mean any spoken or intended copyright is no longer applicable. Most of my vintage items are younger than 75 years and I am not going to outlive the copyright on them, so I figure I might as well use them 😊
Collage is my fave! I start by ripping up a few large bits or page, then a handful of medium and mall pieces. Then I collage is size order. Putting the largest pieces down first and filling in/ layering up from there. If I love the page, I scan it and only use the reprinted scans in my journals. Lol
I love doing collage but I tend to use many different papers as I don't have any vintage documents. I have old books and old music so I don't have much variety for all neutral ones. I haven't done a whole collage masterboard book yet but I do have some books saved to do some one day. Your neutral ones are looking great.
I tend to do mine more like yours. I overthink, and I put same papers spread throughout the page. However, yours are brilliant and mine need practice. Lol. I don't know how you are able to tear into your vintage stuff. I would have to scan it in first, thin use the copy and not the original.

By the way, I love the sound of your voice and your sense of humor. It really helps me to relax / settle down after a long day. God Bless You! ❤
Love making master boards and making a book of master boards is brilliant!

Very beautiful gorgeous master board pages I ❤it 😊🌹
Masterboards are my go-to for breaking my creative slump. I have started a masterboard book and yes, i love it!💙

Vind dit zo mooi. Ik vind super leuk om te maken. Doe het voor elke project die ik maak. Dan liefste gelijk een paar. 😊

Collage is so fun to do though isn’t it Sherry ? Maybe try using just say five different papers? Thank you always for your well wishes xx
Love them. Thanks for sharing 😊

Super cute great idea can’t wait to try, I’m an over thinker and ocd so I never like what I do 🙄
I've got 2 big master boards I'm gonna make some bits for my journal but all my pieces I inked the edge of each piece before I glued it down xx
Not boring actually kind of relaxing. Lol.. May I ask what type of glue you are using? Thank you for sharing.
I tend to do mine more like yours. I overthink, and I put same papers spread throughout the page. However, yours are brilliant and mine need practice. Lol. I don't know how you are able to tear into your vintage stuff. I would have to scan it in first, thin use the copy and not the original.
I struggle with collage, I can't do random. I don't "understand" collaging. It just looks like stuck on paper, but I do try and practice.
❄️🇨🇦❄️❤️
Overthinking is also a constant for me…
