I like junk journals for a place to be creative, and to have a place to store all the bits & pieces that we used to keep in scrapbooks before "scrapbooking" became so commercial with their pre-made (non-personal) ephemera. I have a letter from my mother, and grandmother. A poem I wrote is there and lots of quotes I'd written down & stuck in drawers. If I didn't make it, cut it out, find it, or was given, I don't use it. I try to journal about memories that are unique instead of filling up pages with printables of another person's art. These are my suggestions for creating a personal journal to be kept to be passed down.
I've made 2 spread come craft with me's where I am explaining what I do, but you're right, I need to do more. I just get so carried away and then halfway through I realise I didn't set up the camera 🤣🤦♀️
Such a beautiful balance of vintage, nature and yet, you've left lots of space to write in it, which I love! I'm fairly new at this too and I don't like a lot of the creations I see because they don't use this balancing act. You've done a great job on this journal and I know exactly how you feel about selling it! I've kept my 'practice' ones that I started my journal journey making and I've been filling them with daily enlightenments and thoughts. They are becoming even more beautiful with this personal touch and also are wonderful to hold read and love over and over again!
I love that! I guess I make journals as a base for people who aren't so creatively minded to make one into their own, adding their important memories and moments, and even removing the bits I have filled to replace with more meaningful items to them. Some people like to collect these journals like collecting art too. If I was making one for myself (which I will one day) it will definitely be more like the ones you make 😊. Art is my mindfulness, I am a teacher at a College by day, and making these helps me wind down ❤
Wow, if this is only your third journal, we’ll done! Great that you put in some of your own artwork. You could do a tutorial on using a steam iron to eco dye and to show that new kind of closure that you had to figure out 😉
Absolutely beautiful. Would love to see tutorials on any of the ephemera that you made, the little slides and see through pockets too. Thankyou so much. I think anything that you make will just walk out the door of your shop ! Cheers 😀🇳🇿
Aw thank you!🥰 I will add those to my list! I'm finding it so hard to squeeze tutorials in with school being back, but I promise I will get to them. I'm just putting the final touches on my latest journal, (burgundy coloured-im so tempted to keep this one lol) Thank you for taking the time to watch, and comment 😊
This journal is absolutely gorgeous! All of your pieces are uniquely you! Love Love Love this video! ❤️❤️❤️💝💝💝🎀🎀🎀such amazing work and attention to detail! Sooooo yummy!! Haha! 💕Love, Julie in New Orleans 💖
Absolutely gorgeous journal! Love the vintage ephemera, sewing and all the details! I’d love to see a tutorial on printing on canvas. And really, a tutorial on any of the handmade ephemera is always great. Just subbed too 💚
Oh!! I've never seen the printing on canvas and the faux eco dying with steam iron? Would love to see tutorials on those things- and resin stamps!? Wow! Thank you, so beautiful! Brilliant!
I'm going to do a resin tutorial this weekend and I'll put the others on my list 😊 I have also found a couple great finds to use instead of brads/split pins that don't require covering the back, so I'll share those too. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment😊
Gorgeous journal, absolutely after my own heart! I’m a beginner too, so glad I’m not the only one! Thanks so much for sharing, look forward to more, so I’ve definitely subscribed. Take care xx
Aw thank you! I will try make one on the faux eco printing. The real eco print8ng is just by following a tutorial already on RUclips, the only difference is that I didn't have any rusty objects to use, so I left that part out. I believe that's why there's no blacks and only greens and yellows 😊
Hi Sara-Lee! I just found you; we have the same name, although, my is one word, Saralee! Love your aesthetic! Amazing, whimsical, and delightful junk journal!
Beautiful Journal. I thought this was a really old video at 480p and slightly fuzzy, but it's only 3 weeks old. I was trying to get a better look at some of the textures but it's not possible. Of course this is the only video of yours I've seen, so this could be a one off. Anyway, the journal is absolutely gorgeous.
Hi Deborah 😊 I've just posted a tutorial resining labels and stamps, I'll film another one soon encasing small leaves and flowers ❤️ thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment
I should do a tutorial on this 😊 I'll try do one for you this weekend. You'll need the flathead chicago screws seen in my other tutorial here ruclips.net/video/lURI9oA0VvU/видео.htmlsi=11tbEcp_xBtw8oMr or something similar that would do the same job, some elastic, and some ribbon 🥰
This came out so beautiful! I’m new at this too so I am going to subscribe and watch you grow. Since it’s amazing already that should be fun. Love that closure! It’s the first time I’ve seen that. So the back of the journal where you put all the little goodies, the envelopes that were with a clear window, did they come like tha or did you make them using junk mail or something or did you make them from scratch? They came out adorable and I for one would love a tutorial even if it’s simple❤

Would love some spread tutorials, doing two pages next to each other and just a break down of what you like to add to each journal. Beautiful book

Would love to see how you resin the stamps, flowers etc please. The journal is beautiful. Love it.
Thank you so much! 😊I will get onto making one, I'll try the resin stamps. Thank you so m7ch for your feedback!
