Say hello to my newest journal, MY SCRAP JOURNAL! I hope it inspires you to dedicate one entire journal to your scraps and pieces that would originally be thrown out. It's a fun project that doesn't take that much time and recycles what we have lying around! A new journaling process video will be shared in a couple days using this new notebook! I hope everyones week has started off wonderful!! -Nazy
Amity Bloom hi, Nazy! i’ve never thought about “junk journals” like a rubbish🤔it seems to me like creative people could find beauty even at scraps of paper and turn it into art♥️love your new journal very much! thank you for inspiration🌿☺️
Every single thing you make speaks to my heart!!! I can't tell you how much your videos and journals and stories inspire me to create...and I thank you for that because i went through a periods where I have absolutely no ambition to do any projects at all but I always come to your channel and watch and rewatch my favorite videos and that's all I need to begin! I'm making a scrap journal as we speak....ive watched this video at least 10 times lol. 💙📃📔📁✏✉✒🖇✂️🗒📇🎼💙
I love that you are just going with it. I believe that I can make a scrap journal whereas the idea of trying to do a more artist type journal is so daunting that I can't get over the fear to even start. I am going to try my first 'scrap' journal tomorrow. I can do this. Yay!!!
Yes!! Oh this makes me SO happy! I completely agree, sometimes you need to create without any pressure at all, I will be sharing more about this very soon sweetheart! You can do this and I will be there helping you!
Thank you so much for voicing you not liking the word "junk" journal...because I feel exactly the same way. When I use to tell people I create junk journals and saw from their expression on their face that word left that conotation of no value or junk on them. So I know tell people I create mixed-media journals...but like your word of scrap journal even better. Love this yes please...make an art journal !!!
I couldn't agree more! A lot of people don't understand the idea of a "junk journal" and the word junk has a bad meaning associated with it unfortunately, but its just a name and it can always be changed :) Thank you for sharing Roksanna, your messages are always so lovely to read, I think I will be using it as an art journal! I will be sharing soon!
I cant believe you would have tossed all those beautiful scraps...so beautiful! Tfs. If your scrap bin gets too full make a set of them for your shop, I'm sure they would sell like hot cakes!
Beautiful scrap journal Nazy. I really like the use of the word scrap. When I make my inserts I make them out of paper, pages from magazines, wrapping, scrapbook paper, etc. all that kind of stuff. And calling it junk really doesn't do it justice. Can't wait to see your process videos using this journal. Thanks for sharing.
I couldn't agree more, all those different types of papers are pieces to our journals that are not in any way junk :) they are a journalers favorite supplies! Thank you for watching my dear friend!
I like your reasoning of junk vs. scrap journal! Personally I call my journals junk journal as I create them - they are made of literal junk after all! I prefer to use as many free materials as I can. Tea bag wrappings, ruined drawings and paintings, items found on the street, images from junk mail and ads... But as I work on them, they turn into art journals! 🎨
I love how even though creating this journal was different from your usual process, using scraps and all, it still turned out looking like you and your style! It's lovely and I see it becoming a beautiful art journal! xx
This is gorgeous! Great idea! And I agree, Once you alter a piece of paper it is now art and no longer junk! I think of the Japanese artists who take a cracked vase and mend them with silver or gold and now they are a completely new piece of art possibly more beautiful than the original pot.
I just love the idea of using what we have...those pieces and fabric that have meaning. I have some bits and bobs from my family , ( 4 loved ones now passed )....what a wonderful way to keep them close :).
I want to make my first journal and iv been thinking I have to buy pretty things to make it. Watching this video is so inspiring, I'm excited to get started with all my scraps now because it's what it means to me, not how it looks to others that matters. Thank you so much, I love your creations 😊
Nazy dear!! I have been following (read stalking...Lol, in a good way though) you from a long time on RUclips and Instagram. You have introduced and inspired me to the amazing world of journal making and I have reached a point where I proudly show my journals both in real world and on virtual world. So, thank you so much . I owe my skill to you. Like you said, I always thought it but never voiced that why we call them junk journals, they are anything but junk. I love calling them memory journals/memory books. Lots of love, Priya
just made my very first 'scrap' :) journal... everything recycled. And I love it. I'm pretty sure I'll never be buying papers to make journals. Love the scrap look :)
It's so easy to over spend buying all of the pretty stuff out there. I'm on a month-long austerity plan and am finding that it's a very creative time using what I have. Thanks so much for your video. Very inspiring.
I love using this style of journal too because it's very free and easy! You don't need to worry about everything being a specific theme or color story. It will be so fun to see you work in a bigger book than a TN size too! You can really be creative in the bigger sizes! The book looks so inspiring already :)
Pretty!! I'm sure you're not alone lol! I guess I don't take the word junk literally when it comes to describing my journals 😏It's such a broad term in this community. My art journals don't always have what people consider "art" but hey it's mine!👍🏼I don't include junk per say but I know it could be a hodgepodge of scrapbook papers or vintage etc. With that being said I like your "scrap" journal!🤛🏻
Thank you so much Nazy for amazing inspiration! I am still digging in my huge huge box of everything 😂 and found so many pieces of papers and bags and all kind of treasures.This is the right kick,what to do with it! Your journal is stunning.I hope you will show also some journaling in,that is the thing I don't know at all, so I will be very happy to copy :D :D Thank you so much for sharing all your ideas sweetie.
Eva, I want to thank you! You are the queen of using papers & scraps, and turning them into magic! I am so happy you enjoyed the video, we can never have enough projects where our scraps can be used :) thank you for your support and lovely comment my sweet friend!
Great minds think alike..... I did the same thing! What a lovely surprise to find today's video. I agree NOT a JUNK JOURNAL! I was inspired to make a new one from all scraps and use up my recently passed Auntie's notions. She was an upholsterer.
I've always struggled to know whether to call my videos junk or art journal videos. So I know what you mean about the materials not really being "junk". Just lovely to see your own personal journal. I just did a page turn of mine, writing and all😀. I love the combination of beautiful papers and fountain pen ink on a page. We're definitely addicted to paper, aren't we?. Take care, Joie ❣️ 🌿
Oh yes sweetheart, we are definitely addicted haha! Our materials and papers should never be seen as junk because they are special to us, the minute something is tossed into the trash - the meaning is lost and therefore turns into junk. However all of our supplies bring us happiness and should be valued as treasures! Btw I ADORE the look of fountain pen on pages, just purchased one and I am obsessed with it!
I too am not a fan of the junk journal term, however, I think it’s the JJ bit that’s catchy. I thought perhaps I would call mine ‘Joy Journals’ for that same JJ feel. But I also like ‘scrap journals’. Here, in Australia, at art school we always called our home made journals ‘visual diaries’. For that is what they were; a collection of thoughts and inspirations gathered together in a visual format. In the end, I guess we shall call them what we are happiest with. Peace and love to you 💕
I love this! I think it sends a really awesome message to new journal makers that you don’t need all this crazy, expensive art stuff to make beautiful journals. When I first started I had that problem, I thought ‘oh it would be better if I had this or that, like so and so’ but you really don’t. Some of my absolute favorite junk journals are made from a cereal box cover, some tea dye paper and maybe a 5 dollar paper pad from Walmart/micheals. You don’t need to spend a lot to make beautiful journals! On a different note lol I love everything about this journal especially the size. When binding the pages how did you make them long enough to fold in half and still be a full size page?
Hey Amity I just loved the video and the book. The book is beautiful and I really like the idea of using up your scarps to make it!!! I'm looking forward to seeing the art you add to it!!
Thanks for sharing your personal journal! How many journals do you use at one time? I really enjoy your journal process videos and have rewatched a few. I’m thinking of making your honeycomb or tag journal! 😊 Have a great week, sweet Nazy!
How nice is that journal Nazy 😍 At the moment it looks minimalistic but I‘m very excited to see what you are creating in the future with the journal...
How did you secure it to the book? If you could Make a video showing how you made this I'm sure we would all love it. This seems more fun and less complicated than the crazy junk journals I see online
No worries sweetheart! I can definitely film a video creating another scrap journal, I think it would be fun and really helpful since it won’t be intimidating, thank you for letting me know! ☺️
Very pretty ... I just love using mine ;) And I agree, it's seems a little off calling them scrap journals or junk journals ... I think they are smal works of curated art ;) Donna from Canada
Hi Nazzy, question please, did you use your sewing machine to bind the pages also? And how did you attach them to the spine of the book? Thank you for sharing and again I get such a good feeling when I get a notification that you post a video ‘cause I know I will learn something totally new.
Hi! I just discovered your channel. I would love to make one of these. I noticed in the comments below, you thought about making ‘How to’ video. Can you post a link? Thanks!

I love the idea of making a journal out of the scraps we have. Even if that’s all you did I think it would be a great Keepsake! Super cute Nazy!
Thank you Eve! That means so much sweetheart, sometimes the best keepsake books are the ones we make on a whim! Sending you my love!

You turned scraps to treasure. And i agree,, I call mines my treasure journal because it's what i like and treasure.

I love it! You can make scraps of paper into a beautiful journal and your unique style still shines through! You're so innovative!💙
Just found you a few days ago, I'm hooked!! Just subscribed!! Have to laugh, we who love paper just can't stop touching it, LOL!!!

I agree, I cringe when I hear or read the words, junk journal too! 💜 lovely journal
Gorgeous, can’t believe that’s out of your comfort zone.😎
Thank you for showing us through
I am getting the idea more
So you put the papers together and sew before you put them in your book
Love this .... such a project of love.... can’t wait to see what you do with this 🙂🙂🙂
Omg I LOVE when you post “journal with me”s
Aww my beautiful friend! I will be posting a journal process video in this new journal in a couple days! I hope you love it! :)

Hey Amity I just loved the video and the book. The book is beautiful and I really like the idea of using up your scarps to make it!!! I'm looking forward to seeing the art you add to it!!
Love it!
So pretty Nazy. I love this style of journal.
It's adorable Nazi!!💕
Love this 🎀🎀😍😍🥇
Beautiful journal
Love this so much! I would love to see you use some water colors. You are always so inspiring ❤️
Thanks for sharing your personal journal! How many journals do you use at one time? I really enjoy your journal process videos and have rewatched a few. I’m thinking of making your honeycomb or tag journal! 😊 Have a great week, sweet Nazy!
How nice is that journal Nazy 😍
At the moment it looks minimalistic but I‘m very excited to see what you are creating in the future with the journal...
Beautiful 😍😍
Love it . Thank you for sharing it. Yes, share please
Very pretty 😍
Great inspiration
Very nice!
Do you think you’ll ever do a new “how to make a journal from beginning to end”? I love your videos.
Cool Journal....tfs
How did you secure it to the book? If you could Make a video showing how you made this I'm sure we would all love it. This seems more fun and less complicated than the crazy junk journals I see online
No worries sweetheart! I can definitely film a video creating another scrap journal, I think it would be fun and really helpful since it won’t be intimidating, thank you for letting me know! ☺️
@@amitybloom159 I agree, I agree❤
I make a lot of stuff with scraps as it’s expensive to buy new. I can’t use a sewing machine so just glue and hand sew in.
Enjoy your scrap journal 😘
Very pretty ... I just love using mine ;) And I agree, it's seems a little off calling them scrap journals or junk journals ... I think they are smal works of curated art ;) Donna from Canada
Much prefer the name “scrap journal” and yours is lovely!
Little treasure journal ❤
What a lovely name Bridget! A treasure journal indeed :)
So very pretty, you know just what to do to make scraps beautiful 😊❤️ Where did you get that so beautiful ledger paper???
Hi Nazzy, question please, did you use your sewing machine to bind the pages also? And how did you attach them to the spine of the book? Thank you for sharing and again I get such a good feeling when I get a notification that you post a video ‘cause I know I will learn something totally new.
I love love this journal! Question what size paper did you use ? Are these full size sheets 8 1/2 x 11 folded in half?
💟💟💟💟💟
What binding method did you use? Coptic? How did you attach the signatures to the book/spine?
I just simply sewed them to the cover and then covered the spine with paper, I hope this helps!
How do you pick your books for journal??
Hi! I just discovered your channel. I would love to make one of these. I noticed in the comments below, you thought about making ‘How to’ video. Can you post a link? Thanks!
❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🇿🇦
Very pretty 👏👍💐 what is the size of this journal ? Love from india -Tamil nadu.
I’ve been seeing RUclipsrs with whitewashed desktops. Is it real? If not, what is it and where did you get it? Thanks for your time. - Jami
