    I’m really enjoying this series for beginners, it so helpful for as a newbie to collage. I’m looking forward to viewing all your videos…😊Thank you

    This looks really neat so far. Maybe use paint and tissue paper for the other side to minimize the bulk?

      That’s a good idea!! Would be cool to have that contrast!

    I like the collage idea. Bulk is always a problem. As you were pressing the folds and folding it out, I thought this would make a good flip-flop journal, using the front and the back. Looking forward to seeing the next part.

      Oh my goodness, you’ve sent me down a rabbit hole 😂 Now I want to try that!!

    This was fun to watch and listen to. My strange thing is I love hearing the sound of the glue stick thunking on the table while gluing those large pieces! 🤗

      Thanks for another great video! I think you’re having a bit of trouble with the folds because it’s hard to get a good fold when it’s wet. I think it looks great though, I like things wonky and imperfect in my journals 😊

    @sEaSoNaLMiLk 10 месяцев назад

    Ope lol 33:20 I just came to the comments to suggest you peel it up!! I do that all the time! It rarely comes out perfect or good all in one piece, but I like that effect and takes most of the bulk out!

    • @megjournals
      @megjournals  10 месяцев назад

      Haha yes it worked out! Cool effect ☺️

  • @purplepixie274
    @purplepixie274 10 месяцев назад

    I made my Jjj in this manner, using Amazon brown paper as my base. I then did a collage, like you over a good part of each side in collage papers, before I tackled each side per day.
    If I were using the paint sampler, I would def cover the writing side in collage, but would use some colours on each page as theme.
    Using napkins to decoupage is a good way to cover but keep it thin. If you want to cover something up, then only remove bottom layer, keep middle one. Or use tissue paper 😊

    • @megjournals
      @megjournals  10 месяцев назад

    I have a few paint sample cards, but they are the ones where the samples are little tabs stuck half on the page so I am thinking of putting the back grounds underneath and decorating the the little paint sample tabs to contrast with the background to make it really 3D.
    I usually have coffee while I work and have started putting it in a thermal mug so I don't forget about it

    • @megjournals
      @megjournals  10 месяцев назад +1

      Thermal mug is a good idea, I’ve had to reheat so many teas when I get absorbed in what I’m doing 😂

    • @MaddieMadMoo1
      @MaddieMadMoo1 10 месяцев назад

      @megjournals I am the same. Whether its work or art stuff I always end up with cold coffee or tea

    Hi! It's a great recycling idea, although I must admit that when you started covering up all those beautiful colors I almost had a heart attack! :( haha... But I kept looking until the end ;) I thought you would cover the back part and for the color samples part you would only cover the letters or very little... collage over the colors directly (I want to cry! LOL)
