    Finally! A video that shows how to use actual scraps, and not big pretty offcuts of large perfect scrapbooking sheets! This is what I've been looking for!

      Awesome sauce!! I get that, frustration for sure 😉
      I have a few other videos on using actual scraps if you'd like:
      ruclips.net/video/n8mnL1LCdyo/видео.html and
      in this one there are a couple things (a master board, an entire little journal made of scraps and a little journal made of the scraps I made--lol: for people who were just starting and didn't have any scraps yet, I made scraps. Yes. I did that 😂 but that was a different video) ruclips.net/video/Rf-QCxzmGgc/видео.html
      There are also scraps used in the projects in this video (the accordion journal makes another appearance) ruclips.net/video/g9t-Oce_Iew/видео.html
      Happy Crafting! Thanx so much for stoppin' by and hangin' out with me for a bit.

      PS in that last video (linked in previous reply) I show something I do a lot which is embracing (and even doing it on purpose) the misprints from when my printer does weird stuff. Stay tuned in an upcoming video (I believe it's a "clean and CRAFT chat" video) I show more of those that I've done on purpose. Loads of fun 🤓

    Very profound commentary on style Ker. Something I've noticed is how many Tim Holtz, Dina Wakley clones are out there,, for example. So i make my own stuff, which is a part of my hobby, and then i know everything is unique, like me 😊
    But I'm not afraid to borrow ideas from others. As Austin Kleon says...'Steal like an artist ".

    • @TheCrabbyCrafterlol
      @TheCrabbyCrafterlol  Месяц назад

      YESSS! Steal like an artist --but for gawwwd's sake: make it your own, put your own spin on things.
      What I didn't say that I should have included here is that there are people who have definite style they bring to all the DIFFERENT things they do. I think that's a happy medium.
      I agree, "clones" is the perfect word. If they didn't have the crutches of the big name's every supply, their "art" would just fall apart into tiny bits of glue and string on the craft table 😂🤣😂
      Unique like you, that's fantastic!
      Craft on my new one-of-a-kind friend 😎

    Good morning Ker! ✨💜💚🖤 Using up scraps woohoo! You aren’t kidding about how junk journaling gets us to keep everything, seeing potential in every.single.thing. lol! 😅 Love how you used paints and coffee spray to get your vintage and bright pages to blend, looks fantastic. (some Maleficent colors there too NICE!) Kristina made awesome tags with the ransom letters for sure, love how you were inspired and made some super cool stuff. Great tip on keeping “and”, “but” “&” and “‘s” with ransom letters.

Soooo adding a bit more here. 😅 Love that you are experimenting with different styles, it’s so good to kind of step outside of our comfort zones now and then and try things in new ways. Playing and experimenting is (at least) half the fun! Thank you so much for sharing all your tips and tricks with us. Sending lots and lots of love and hugs to you and Bitsy from Sophia and I! 🐶💕✨🌈☔

      Hahhah, I'd LOVE to have a "relaxing Autumn Sunday" but it's still very much summer here 🥵 feels as if it's going to last until Thanksgiving. It's so warm the jet-skiers are still playing in the water as if it were mid-July. I am SO over it. It's like being in a wet bathing suit ALLLLLL day, that feeling of relief when one finally gets warm, dry, comfy clothes on after a day on the water. My legs are craving warm sweat pants and sock vs. yet another day of shorts and flip-flops 😂🤣😂 Yes, that's me: complaining about the nice weather, 🤪 Hope YOU are getting some beautiful 🍁Cozy-In Weather 🍂

      YAY!!! Overcast days ahead!! Not here...more bloody sunshine, lol. Hot and sunny here AGAIN today. Though, not AS hot as it has been. I am SO ready for sweatshirt weather. I'm sick to death of wearing shorts. Kinda like being in a wet swimsuit after a long day in /on the lake...there's nothing like getting into some nice dry sweatpants and comfy t-shirt.

    WOW!! You are so inspiring to watch..thankyou for explaining your thoughts as you create beauty from scraps!! I am a complete newbie to junk journaling and i have been struggling to start..I think your video today has given me a perfect starting point. I LOVE how you created your collage with scraps SO BEAUTIFUL!! Question: have you ever photocopied your creation?? To reuse it again in different ways? Possibly even to cut out beautiful letters?? I'm hooked after listening to you and a new subscriber..

      As for copying them, YES!! Absolutely, once they're digital there's loads that can be done (shrinking them down for tiny projects is one of my favorites!)
