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.
I enjoyed following along while hearing your thought processes. i'm looking forward to how you will decorate this sample book. I know it will be lovely because everything you do is so lovely.
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! 🤗
🧚🏻♀️Loved this video, thank you Meg! You come up with the best journal ideas! I’m visiting my Hardware store to get some paint charts and get started! Exciting idea!😘😊
Love watching your videos at any time of the day! Please bring on the ASMR sounds!! I could sleep peacefully to your aesthetic and beautiful pages & creations :)
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 😊
That was fun to watch and hear your thinking outloud! I could hear the excitement in your voice about what you were doing. Great motivation. I am finally doing my prompts for JJ January because I was so sick then. Having lots of fun with it!! ❤ Annie
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!
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 😊
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
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)
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!

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

@@megjournals You're welcome. 😊Yeah. 😃👍
Nice to hear you thinking it through, and seeing the process.
Thanks! 🥰
Brilliant. This is my favourite method for backgrounds. I’m really looking forward to your next layers.
Love your work Meg . Stay creative xx
Thanks so much 😊
I loved how this turned out and I loved the process. Looking forward to seeing more.
That was fun to watch and hear your thinking outloud! I could hear the excitement in your voice about what you were doing. Great motivation.
I am finally doing my prompts for JJ January because I was so sick then. Having lots of fun with it!! ❤ Annie
Hope you’re feeling better! ❤️
I am, thank you!
I love watching your process it’s coming along nicely
Thanks for watching!
I love this project! Haven't found a brochure like this, yet. But, I am looking. TFS. 🥰🙏
Thank you! It’s definitely fun to work with!

Haha yes it worked out! Cool effect ☺️

So far so good ❤

Thermal mug is a good idea, I’ve had to reheat so many teas when I get absorbed in what I’m doing 😂
@megjournals I am the same. Whether its work or art stuff I always end up with cold coffee or tea
Love this idea !
Thanks so much 🤗
Your right Meg about it being therapeutic..to glue down something 😂. Good to know that just beyond the camera is chaos!
It really is!😅
Why does a whole bunch of scrap paper bits put together on a page look so nice😮
Aw thank you!
I love watching u collage! I can never enjoy it bc it never looks nice like urs😂 maybe I need a better glue stick! Haha tfs❤❤❤
Thank you! 🤗
Funnnn!!❤
💜💜💜

Meg: it looks like you have a plan or the Muse has taken over. I’m interested in where this is going. Carol from California
Thank you!🥰
The paint color “dead salmon”. 😂😂😂
Lol I didn’t notice that 😂😂
Dear Meg, who do you watch for master boards? Does the smell of coffee go away eventually? 🌿
I don’t notice the coffee too much! But maybe I’m used to it 🤣
Nooooo! That’s a WASTE of SPOTS! 😮Brown paper we have PLENTY of, but, SPOTS, not so much!😂
lol 🤣🤣🤣
