You are a genius!!! Your ideas amaze me. I love them. I have a lot of these old albums & almost threw them away the other day. Now I can share the pages with my friends. Thank you.
All your ideas and project are absolutely beautiful 😍. I love them very much! Very pleased how detailed description you give us about you create. I start doing some little elements from that I have at home for practice and relax. Thank you for your masterclasses! Have a great time and more new interesting projects. With love from Ukraine 🖐️💙💛
You are a true junk journal maker. You are extremely creative and make such beautiful items. I enjoy seeing the things you create. I also love your story. You are very brave. Thanks for sharing your gift.
Watching you create gives me so many ideas I don't know where to begin. Your journals are full of inspiration! I love everything you make and even your voice is lovely. I go to your videos first, always. Thank you!! I
You are so clever. Isn't it amazing how, when we let our inner, non-judgmental child mind out to play, it is freed to not even consider a box; and once it plays with one idea, more ideas just keep coming. I also loved how you put writing notes on the video announcing that something you had done, didn't work, you also noted how you figured out how to fix that issue, i.e. the glue didn't work, so you tried something else, and that worked! Letting your imagination lead you to a create a fun crafting mixed ,media piece of art, requires one set of skills; but to also be able to break it down into simple steps and teach someone how to do what you are doing, ... as you are doing it, is a mind-boggling, much more complex set of master craftswoman skills. THOSE WHO CAN CREATE wonderful, beautiful, and useful craft art; while, at the same time, creatively, clearly, and expertly TEACH others, are my HEROES/HEROINES.
@@TreasureBooks Just stating the facts as I see them. As a former training officer, I have some experience evaluating instructors, and with some education regarding training and instruction, I have an even greater appreciation of what it takes to be an entertaining and effective teacher like you.
I love all of your videos. You are an awesome teacher! Thank you for providing the best instructions for crafting! I am very new at this but when I see all the beautiful crafts you create I am so inspired to create! I am not yet as good as you are at it but I am growing. Thank you for brightening my day with joy and inspiration!
What a great idea Natasha... you amaze me, your brain must never shut off.. I know mine doesn't... but I still come up with all these great ideas you get... Thank you so much for sharing.... Blessings...
I knew I could count on you to have a video on making junk journals using photo pockets. I just found a pretty little photo album at my thrift store and I was wondering how to use it as a junk journal. So, I searched RUclips and Voila! I found your video. I am already a subscriber, but I was so happy to see that you had a video on this subject. I love your videos. Thank you!💞
Hi Natasha, This is really a great idea! It is interesting because normally our journals are made with paper products and items to add another material like this definitely gives it a different look. I truly like the fact that you are looking at new ways to use everyday objects into making journaling. Every time we can repurpose something into another thing new it is a gift to the world to reduce waste. Which in this day and age is a good thing. Thanks again!
I was just t the thrift store today and kept looking at the photo albums... "what could I do with these"... and then watched your video! Back to the thrift store tomorrow. LOL. Thank you for an amazing tutorial.
What a fantastic idea. I am brand new to junk journals and now have a way to use the old albums I have been hoarding for years. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to binge watching your ideas as I relax in the Florida sunshine away from the cold North.
Amazing and beautiful work! Just another suggestion if someone didn't have old photo albums is to cut down those clear plastic pockets for binders, which is what I do 😊
Goodness! I am a very senior getting rid of pictures! Did 5 albums today! Now after your video I had better keep the inner pages at least! Thanks again
I have loved using the photo sleeves in my journals for about 2 years now. have even added sequins too for a shaker element. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
We used to use these all the time for pockets in our junk and travel journals about ten years ago. I can't remember where I first saw it, perhaps in the remains of the day journals. If not that, someone taught it way back then. We would use them to put ephemera in when we went on travels or the movies, or to keep receipts or special letters, etc. When I ran out of picture pockets, I would use page protectors and sew across the bottom and put bits of material or washi tape on the sides and sew them and use them just like a page in a junk journal, but only about 3 1/2 " to four inches tall and then sew two together with a piece of paper or a piece of cloth and then sew it into your signature just like any other page you would sew into your signature for your junk journal. But you have given me a couple of new ideas of using them as trianglar pockets. Thanks for sharing,
I haven't read the other comments, but I have a couple ideas. 1) You could use washi around the sides instead of (or in addition to) sewing, and 2) You could sew lace on the angle cut before sewing the clear sheet to the paper backing of your side tuck design 😊
I love your channel, but often watch on TV where you can't comment. You have the best ideas. I'm definitely going to give this a try -- I have so many of those pages -- thank you so much for sharing -- Patricia
You're a genius. I love these ideas. I've got several old photo books that I've hated throwing out. Now I know what to do with them. Also, I've had great success gluing things onto plastic using a very thin line of "Gel Control Super Glue." You can see the glue so you have to cover it with lace, or trim, etc. Thanks for sharing this! 💞
I love the photo pockets flip over idea, will def use. Got some old photo albums that I found while garage shopping and can't wait to use them in my journal. Keep up the good work wish you all of the success and blessing for you and your family. Thank you 😊
I was going to reply with that as well, lol! I turned several of those pages into ephemera pages, added holes for a small 5 ring binder (like a daily planner) and I love it! It hold my small fussy cuts and such.
Great idea. I use baseball card sleeves and I bought loose refill photo pages to use for ephemera. Never thought about using the whole album. Funny how i didn’t make the transition. Thanks for getting me there.
Originally, I had a 5x7 brag book. It was cheap. I used it to store my dies. I would take a 5x7 piece of cardstock and tape thin magnets to the cardstock. Then I would place the metal dies on top of the magnets, and slide them into pockets. I had separate brag books for different kinds of dies. For example, one for nested shapes like circles and squares. Another for flower shapes and another for border shapes. I added pretty papers into the cover pockets. This is a nice storage solution if you have a small number of dies.
Wonderful video! And I have those photo books too. I hated to get rid of them! Ah ha! This is why I tell my husband as to why I keep stuff!! I am going to show him this video! Thanks for sharing!
You are amazingly talented!You have so many wonderful ideas.I don't know if ill be able to do it but I would like to make a journal for each person in my family.I could could put in pockets that they did as a child on up to adulthood ,pictures,tickets for movies ,shows their favorite recipes just all kinds of things.Then they would have a journal of their lives and some they can keep when I'm gone. Thank you so much for all of your ideas.
Super cute. Definitely another thing on my list of yours that I need to try to make as these are pretty simple but so cute and now I want to go out to the thrift stores and find old photo albums
This is fantastic!! Oh and people without sewing machines could use washi tape to seal up the edges....going to go play and make some! Thanks for the idea! You are my hero!! 😁
Great idea and perfect timing!! Just this week came across a photo album that I never used but had for a long time. It's a new but old one if that makes sense. I started to send it to the Thrift Store but thought there has to be a way to use these pages in my journals so I kept it .... and viola .... here you are with the perfect idea!! Thank you for sharing!!
What wonderful ideas! I think I have a couple of these albums in my house somewhere. I'm thinking it would also make a great travel journal!! Thank you for the ideas and the tutorial. Have a great day!
Great ideas! I'm new to junk journaling/art journaling so I've been getting a lot of ideas from RUclips. I love your channel! I especially like why you chose the name "Treasure Books". Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
Inspiration at its finest every time I see one of your videos. Just passed by a few of these old photo albums at a resale shop - now I need to go back and reinvigorate them into a new life! Thanks for the share.
Such great ideas, and you are right, the thrift shops have heaps of them. I do like the side-opening pocket as it means the transparent sheet doesn't get stretched. I am going to try that and hinge it to the edge of the page where you have the paper clip. The hinge would make it slightly narrower otherwise I think it should work. I love your channel, and the clear way you explain and demonstrate things. Thanks for the inspiration.
This is such a fun idea!! I always love that you repurpose and find uses for things that we have around the house!!! Always get inspired watching your videos!
I picked up a small photo album like that about a year ago - it is stuffed full of my fussy cuts etc. Thank you for all the extra ideas - I'll have to buy another one now...
Such a wonderful idea, Natasha. I so enjoy your channel. You come up with many different ideas rather than using the same items and gluing paper down.... though there’s nothing wrong with that -- I do plenty of that myself!😉 Big xoxo’s 💞, Robbin.
Can't get over the great ideas you have. You make following you so easy to understand! Thanks so much for letting all take a peak....really inspires me to get out of my comfort zone!

You did a wonderful job coming up with different things to remake with those album photo sleeves.
Thank you :)
You are great, I admire every one that recycles and repurposes. I love your ideas, looking forward to all your videos. Thank you!
Thank you so much!

Ah Debra, that sound heavenly. Welcome to my channel, so glad to have you :)
I love the way that you find ways to reuse stuff for other purposes than what they were made for

They'd make perfect shakers!

You are an amazing girl. You never run out of ideas. I could watch your videos all day. 😊
Thank you so much 😊
Such a good idea!! Maybe try those pockets you make put of cereal bags.
You're a genius. I love these ideas. I've got several old photo books that I've hated throwing out. Now I know what to do with them.

I love those signatures.
Clever idea and I have these kind of pages in an old photo album!
Excellent video, never thought about using old photo albums, easy also, thanks.
Good ideas! If you don’t have a sewing machine, then washi tape folded over the edges is good to use with those acetate pockets.💕
I've been binge watching your channel ... great content! I love how you've repurposed these album pockets!! Genius! :D
Thank you so much! It means a lot :)
I love the photo pockets flip over idea, will def use. Got some old photo albums that I found while garage shopping and can't wait to use them in my journal. Keep up the good work wish you all of the success and blessing for you and your family. Thank you 😊

Thanks so much 😊
I absolutely love this 1000%. Thank you so much for sharing and your teaching as well.
Thank you so much Shirley :)
Love this. I use albums to store my ephemera - easy to see with the clear sleeves.
hey, that's another great idea..."now what did I do with the other photo albums I bought sometime ago..."
I was going to reply with that as well, lol! I turned several of those pages into ephemera pages, added holes for a small 5 ring binder (like a daily planner) and I love it! It hold my small fussy cuts and such.
