Thanks for this video! So wonderful to finally fall upon you! Great tutorial! Thank you. Junk journalling is so therapeutic for easing my anxiety and depression. Thanks for mentioning that. It brings me great satisfaction during the tough times! Take care! Cheers from Montreal! ❤
Wow, this video was wonderful! I just love your teaching style! You tell us everything we need to know without doing a lot of rambling. I absolutely adore the fact that I learn something new every time I watch you. If this video is an indication of what's to come in this series, I can hardly wait! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and time with us!
Thank you for sharing, you did such a nice job explaining everything. I looked at a lot of videos, I really enjoyed watching yours. I shared it to my folders ❤
Thank you for taking this journal step-by-step to full completion. I am very new to all things creative, so I am very grateful for your calm presence and mindful explanations!
Thank you so much! I’ve watched a bunch of videos and collected way too much stuff to start but didn’t know where to begin. A bit overwhelmed. This gave me a very simple journal to do.
Great place to start for a beginner…a simple one signature journal with no sewing. Thank you for understanding the hesitation a newbie might have to get started on multiple signatures and all the bells and whistles that one can get carried away with in making a journal. I have already watched a couple of your embellishment/ephemera videos and it’s good to know this is a channel that can help with the entire process but in several stages. I’m a fan
Thank you so much, Ceri. I have only recently found you, and I am so grateful; you make journaling and journal-making accessible. Somehow, you bring a logic and structure to the process. I have always been mystified by it before, but now I am inspired. This morning, I watched your video on why you journal, and so much of what you said resonates with me. Enforced retirement through ill-health means I have time to reflect and time to create. I shall be making and writing two lots of journals: a current one and an historical one. So, thank you again. I shall be working my way through this playlist of journaling for beginners! 😁
Hi Ceri, having a look tonight through your videos. This was great. I didn't know you are doing a journal each month of 2022. I haven't seen any journal videos that I recall but so excited to see them.
As I peruse all your videos, you have never failed to teach a little snippet of new information, Ceri. I absolutely enjoy Gayle Agostinelli, also...... her laughter makes me smile. So grateful for you today as I pray for the world, especially Europe. You cheered me up, Ceri. 🤗🦋 give Biscuit a hug from me🐾🐾🐾🐾
I enjoyed watching this very much. I've been playing with junk journals for about 2 years. But my great fear is the cover! This team's very straightforward and I do have a cereal box! Wish me luck thank you for your well done video! From, n. calif
I never thought of using a cereal box to make this type of cover. For some reason I always thought of only using it to make a 3 piece cover. Sometimes it's easy to overlook the simpler idea. Thank you!
Good morning Ceri! I stumbled across your channel and I have to tell you you’re a great teacher! I have wanted to make a journal and have watched a lot of videos but this one is by far the best one I’ve seen. I’m excited to get started and I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching all your videos! Thank you! 🌻
Hopefully the new year is starting well for you. It will be fun to see what you have planed for us. Blessing to you. I'm doing a bit better after my procedures. Now to build up my strength. Should be a better year for me and my family. All the best, Arlene
You’re such a sweet and patient teacher. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to film with OCD, I commend you for doing it and uploading it for us! Thank you Ceri!
Oh my gosh, I came across you quite by accident and LOVE YOU! I'm a Brit living in the USA and love watching English crafters as it makes me feel closer to England hearing the accents and listening to you, I feel like we are old friends getting together for a natter and a cup of tea. I'm not new to paper crafting but I am to junk journals. They always seem daunting to make but your vidoes have inspired me to actually try making one! You have a new life long fan!! xoxo
Hi Ceri. I love this series. I have not made a junk journal yet but after watching this, I feel confident I could do it. I have everything I need for supplies and now I have the steps to do one. THANK YOU!!
I am so excited about this series! I'm new to this so it's wonderful to have a beginners series. I quit scrapbooking about 5 years ago after a 20 year go of it. I did give away 99% of my supplies including tools. But I'm happy to take a more frugal approach this time around and use what I have on hand. Definitely going for a more organic look. Just wish I still had my score board, poking tool, distress ink and my sewing machine! LOL Oh well! Thank you so much for these wonderful tutorials! I very much appreciate them! :) Looking forward to the next one!
Ceri - I just wanted to thank you for all of your thoughtful, educational videos! I have learned more from watching your videos over this past week than I have learned from anyone else, and I, along with a number of others I'm sure, appreciate you.
Bravo. This is exactly what I needed. I loved that you covered with scraps. My hope is that by this time next week, I have a cereal box JJ too. Thank you so much.
Ceri, thank you for you wonderful tutorial, l to have suffed with truma very simular to the dear viewer you mentioned, my husband to sugested l write my fears, nightmares ect down on paper and burn them not long after my asult, l will say its a good way to banish your demons. But your idea of putting them in a journal is a fantastic idea, not just bland paper putting your thoughts on, using a journal takes the focus off all thing bad going through your mind as you have a beautiful journal as the main focal point and not the contents, l have watched hundreds of tutorials for beginers although they either go to fast with less explanation for us beginers, or like to talk about all things but journals, so l thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a beginner friendly explanation how to make them, l will put elastic in mine as l dont like the idea of throwing the beautiful cover out just the signature, thank you again, l dont often fine happyness these days although you made my day and certainly put a smile on my face as my mind is racing with wonderful thoughts on how to decorate my cover, your a champ, keep up the good work, especially for us beginers, Lee ( Australia )
Thank you Lee, turning something ugly like bad memories into something beautiful like your personal art is a great way of cleansing yourself and moving on.
So refreshing to see a journal made with materials that are free for the effort of looking around the house. Many people avoid the craft because they can't afford the special papers and tools. I also appreciate your clear and easy instructions and the final product is beautiful.
Welcome, if you’re new to journalling I’d advise you also subscribe to Gayle Agostinelli on RUclips………lots of videos with ideas and techniques for the beginner.
Hello! I watched some of your cake decoration videos as well your crafting videos and you are a superb instructor with amazing talent. I have no interest in cake decorating, but after watching you explain/instruct… I want to decorate a cake 😊. You shouldn’t keep apologizing for the little noises when explaining what you are doing, it’s nothing if we can learn from you (and we also have volume control on our devices 😃). It is a privilege to learn from you ❤️❤️. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Thank you Joyce, I know I apologise too much but I think it comes from watching other RUclips’s where they crash and bang around and hearing that disrupts the flow of the video......I’ll try to apologise less in the future.
Thank you Ceri for such a thorough and enjoyable to watch video. I am semi new to journal making and continue to watch videos wherever possible to make sure I am doing things best ways possible. You’re the best!!
Thoroughly enjoyable! I enjoyed your approach and the way you gave us permission to NOT be perfect! Way to go! It drives me nuts to watch perfectionists take the fun out of this art! I fight that tendency, so I celebrate the freedom this brings!
Hi, Ceri. I liked what you had to say encouraging people to create junk journals to fit their own needs and ambitions. I started paper crafting with scrapbooking as a way to display my photographs from photo trips my friends and I would take. Very quickly I discovered that was not what I wanted to do. I wanted to tell stories through graphics and words. The thought of journaling personal thoughts gives me the heebie jeebies. Instead, I go after the hypocrisies of the world such as politics and religion. I can be quite visceral in what I create. I have a couple of friends that are progressive and have backgrounds in the arts. They appreciate what I create. At present I am working on a book for a friend that has to do with snake handlers, a very strange, very small religious movement that handles poisonous snakes and drinks poisons. What I create, I create in order to shed light on things that I find harmful to society. And, I take no prisoners in what I do. Occasionally I'll be more mainstream with my projects but not very often. I do what fulfills my creative urges and let the chips fall where they may. I'm quite old and have no immediate family but I do have a friend that has asked for my projects when I die. What more could I ask for? And, as always, thank you for the time you put into making these videos. They are helpful and a lot of fun!
Great idea. Love watching new ways to do little journals. Hope your new year is great. Looking forward to your other journal videos. You are such good teacher. thanks for sharing your time with us.
Hello Ceri, I have only just discovered you and that was on you tube. I was lucky enough to see the episode where you spoke about Gayle. That lady had the soul of an angel. No Doubt. My problem is I found you on my TV so I cannot contact you in any way. So I went back to my computer and found you, but could not find the episode I was watching, the one where you completed a page on a rather large journal that you had only done the front and back covers, so the episode dealt with doing page 1 and 2. I just wanted to say hello and tell you your videos are great and I am pleased I found you and I love Gayle too. Gayle will not know me from a bar of soap, but that is okay. I still learn so much from the both of you. Good luck with your new venture. Rose. (from Australia but I have been to Wales and I adore Aled Jones and his son - the voice of an angel).
Rosemarie I think this s the video you’re referring to, it was a five item challenge I did with Gayle, hopefully this helps. Five item Swap challenge with Gayle Agostinelli ruclips.net/video/8KAvJqmPeX0/видео.html Thank you for your kind words.
Thank you for including mistakes for me to learn from! And your little story about the burn journal is priceless. I would be using that at 3 am when I wake with negative memories on my mind. You explained the process very well and I think I will have a go at one this week!
What a great video. So very informative, easy to watch and understand. Will definitely assist me in making one of these little journals. Many thanks for sharing your methods.
I just discovered your channel via Gayle Agostinelli. I am really enjoying your approach to mixed media and junk journals. I am also a big fan of standing while I work at a waist high table. However, don't bump your head.
Oh Ceri thank you so much. I’ve been searching for a cereal box journal start to finish by one who would do a tutorial that would be of exceptional excellence! That would be you. Your videos are simply stunning thank you for sharing your time and artistic inspiration always 🦋
Thank you Cheryl, if you do make one of these I recommend finishing the cover with a coat of modge pog or other type of medium to give it longevity when in use....to seal it all.
From Cartonnage, I learned that cardboard has a grain. The cardboard fold very easily along the grainline, and not so easily on the cross grain. When I am gluing two pieces together, I try to glue the grain line so that it runs vertically on one piece and horizontally on the other. This increases the strength of the cardboard, which may be important depending on the project. Thicker chipboard that can be purchased is more dense even though it may be the same thickness as cereal box cardboard, which is why some crafters may glue the grain lines in opposite orientations. I use cereal box cardboard very frequently to make notebook covers that can be refilled once the notebook is used up, and also for small trays that are made in one piece and then folded up at the edges.
This is amazing, you did great on your turorial of this junk journal, I love how you put the pages together or should I say signatures. I have been saving cereal boxes fo some time now and I'll have to get going on making some for myself and friends, I've also saved some other boxes like butter, cookies/biscuits just different sizes, I have made some a few years ago, small mini binder kind but sewn in the signatures, alot of fun! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Every time I finish a Ceri Griffiths video I smile. One of the most important parts of this one is mistakes happen just go around them to go forward
Lol. Thank you
My first Ceri video. I am just starting junk journal creating. I am excited to go through all of your tutorials. What a blessing you are 🙂
Thank you so much and welcome to my channel.
l love it very pretty thank you for sharing.
Such a great beginning to the "world of journal making"! Those of us "newbies" really appreciate the in depth teachings.😊
I’ll try my best to make the journey easy.
Thanks Ceri! I always find you to be an excellent and thorough teacher.

I came back to this video as I plan to make journal out of a cereal box. Thank you for this tutorial☺
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much, Ceri.
I have only recently found you, and I am so grateful; you make journaling and journal-making accessible. Somehow, you bring a logic and structure to the process. I have always been mystified by it before, but now I am inspired.
This morning, I watched your video on why you journal, and so much of what you said resonates with me.
Enforced retirement through ill-health means I have time to reflect and time to create. I shall be making and writing two lots of journals: a current one and an historical one.
So, thank you again. I shall be working my way through this playlist of journaling for beginners! 😁
Thank you Mary
Hi Ceri, having a look tonight through your videos. This was great. I didn't know you are doing a journal each month of 2022. I haven't seen any journal videos that I recall but so excited to see them.
I think I’ve done one a month except for September, but life just got in the way. Glad you liked this.
I make journals using the actual covers of cereal boxes. I also cut down the coca cola cartons and turn them into covers. They look good.
Stella I’m there with you, good cardboard is good cardboard no matter what it starts out looking like it makes great covers.
As I peruse all your videos, you have never failed to teach a little snippet of new information, Ceri. I absolutely enjoy Gayle Agostinelli, also...... her laughter makes me smile. So grateful for you today as I pray for the world, especially Europe. You cheered me up, Ceri. 🤗🦋 give Biscuit a hug from me🐾🐾🐾🐾
Thank you I’m trying to convince Biscuit to appear in a video as I’ve promised my subscribers but I think he’s a bit camera shy.
I enjoyed watching this very much. I've been playing with junk journals for about 2 years. But my great fear is the cover! This team's very straightforward and I do have a cereal box! Wish me luck thank you for your well done video! From, n. calif
I know my friend Gayle Agostinelli has a lot of journal cover making videos on her channel it might be something you'd like to check out.
Ceri I loved this video you explained it so well.you I think are a great teacher on how to make a junk journal keep them coming
Thank you, there’ll be monthly videos this year on journal building.
I love how NOT junky it looks. love it!!!!! you're brilliant, I so enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you Tonya.
I am new, and thrilled I found this and you! What wonderful instructions and journal, tysm. Really appreciate this and love it!!
Thank you Janet and welcome to my channel.
Thanks for all the things you are teaching.I have learned more in the last few weeks watching you. Thanks for all the info and all the hard work.
Thank you as I learn I’ll share anything new and interesting.....or even clever.
I never thought of using a cereal box to make this type of cover. For some reason I always thought of only using it to make a 3 piece cover. Sometimes it's easy to overlook the simpler idea. Thank you!
Yup it works and the collage strengthens it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this wonderful video. You explained things so precisely and you make it look so easy. I love all your videos. ❤
You’re such a sweet and patient teacher.
I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to film with OCD, I commend you for doing it and uploading it for us! Thank you Ceri!
Thank you and it’s helping me develop as an artist being so public about my processes. The positive comments combat my negative thoughts.

Such a basic video that nicely covers all that is necessary to begin! Great job Ceri!

Thank you and I’m so pleased you found it easy to follow.
Perfect look at journal making for a “newbie”. I especially love the write and burn idea❣️
Thank you Judy.
Thank you for the nice simple tutorial…..makes me not so nervous to make a journal 😊
Jane it’s only paper and time, have fun with it, even if it doesn’t turn out perfect first time it’s a note book for you to use to store ideas.

I just discovered why I relate to you so well, I’ve been OCD all my life 😂actually take meds to corral it somewhat. 😂
Luckily I don’t have to take meds but it does seem to be becoming a little worse the older I get so I may be joining you.
Great techniques, Ceri. Even though I know how to put a jj together, I always pick up something new. Thanks for the inspiration.
You’re welcome
Thank you very much Ceri love the way you teach. I am going to find all your videos for this year. Noela from Australia

It’s hard to break habits but I’m trying and believe me the struggle to not try to be perfect is hard.
Loved watching you do this easy starter journal. Perfect for 'on the go'
Thank you
I enjoyed watching your process. Loved that you used a cereal box for the cover. Great recycling project. Hugs from the USA.
Thank you Pammi, happy new year.
I always enjoy watching your videos. You are very articulate and detailed.

Thank you Elaine, my friends would say I may knock some sense into myself if I keep bumping my head. 😁
Oh Ceri thank you so much. I’ve been searching for a cereal box journal start to finish by one who would do a tutorial that would be of exceptional excellence! That would be you. Your videos are simply stunning thank you for sharing your time and artistic inspiration always 🦋
Thank you Cheryl, if you do make one of these I recommend finishing the cover with a coat of modge pog or other type of medium to give it longevity when in use....to seal it all.
Thank you - used this to make my 1st journal 🙏 😊
Wonderful!
From Cartonnage, I learned that cardboard has a grain. The cardboard fold very easily along the grainline, and not so easily on the cross grain. When I am gluing two pieces together, I try to glue the grain line so that it runs vertically on one piece and horizontally on the other. This increases the strength of the cardboard, which may be important depending on the project. Thicker chipboard that can be purchased is more dense even though it may be the same thickness as cereal box cardboard, which is why some crafters may glue the grain lines in opposite orientations. I use cereal box cardboard very frequently to make notebook covers that can be refilled once the notebook is used up, and also for small trays that are made in one piece and then folded up at the edges.
Thank you Patricia for the information I’ll bear that in mind for future projects.
This is amazing, you did great on your turorial of this junk journal, I love how you put the pages together or should I say signatures.
I have been saving cereal boxes fo some time now and I'll have to get going on making some for myself and friends, I've also saved some other boxes like butter, cookies/biscuits just different sizes, I have made some a few years ago, small mini binder kind but sewn in the signatures, alot of fun! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
So happy you liked it, I’m trying to launch a journal make video once a month this year so there’s more to come.
You are very thorough in your directions and I really appreciate it. I love reasons for things etc and alternatives thank you very much. 😊
You’re welcome Helen
I would like to see you show how you decorate the pages .Well don Nick.
