Oh my gosh...this is absolutely wonderful! What an amazing journal and it will be absolutely beautiful sitting on your shelf. Visitors will be curious and enticed by it.
I’m so happy I just came across your video, Thank you so much for teaching us new skills. I’m in Perth so it’s great to have you as a fellow Aussie & teacher 💜
I love this! and I love your "care factor is zero"... LOL! I feel like that should be our thought when creating most of the time so we don't worry about perfection, but totally enjoy the process. As always, I love your videos.
I showed them in other videos but not by themselves so i don't remember which ones. I know one was one of the last updates when I received a late entry. Thank you so much!
I’ve done this binding on tag books etc but never thought to use on FJ pages. Great idea and love the idea of split front & back covers too. Thanks for the inspiration Rachel.... hugs C xx
Ok- this cover threw me for a few minutes...in fact I may have to watch it again so it sinks into my brain--- so different than what we "normally" do for a journal- but such a fantastic way to hinge together some pieces!!!
Oh Rachel- I totally sympathize with you about the camera arm. It has taken me months to get it right. If Tony moved it now I’d have a conniption fit! Poor Steffie. “Almost brought him to tears!” 🤣 I’m not done watching but totally interested in seeing this!! And yes, the cutting of fabric is wonderful. 💕.
Oh this journal is totally beautiful congrats 🎉 the lace fabric and papers with the tags etc are an awesome addition to the journal enjoy it 😉 stay safe and be careful 🙏🖌️🎨✍️💌
I absolutely Love your art work💗💗💗.. I can't hear your recent videos, I know you had a microphone before & it worked perfectly. But now your voice is so soft again, I can only hear some of your words when you get excited, I am guessing possibly your microphone is not working, or possibly not plugged in, because my volume is on high & I can't hear you, whereas I can hear other RUclips artists perfectly. anyway, I want to Thank You so much for creating such lovely art💗💗💗 you inspire me !
Hello Carol, I am by no means an expert on sound but sometimes I have to restart the device I am watching on or check for updates to RUclips...hope that helps! I can’t imagine not hearing Rachel!
I changed my device as the microphone didn't always work. Everyones device is different you'rs must not receive my videos well.. You could try earphones, they might help. Thank you so much!
Beautiful journal Rachel. I also saw the hinge binding on Wendy’s channel and used it on a small teabag journal. Tfs your book binding . I really love how this looks. 💞🤗💕
Oh those journals come out beautifully! Particularly love the last one but I think I would have left it so I could open that topper piece. Regardless, it’s just awesome. 🥰
Hi Rachel! Love how the Friendship Journal turned out!!! It looks all meshes so well. You did an amazing job!! love how you made the cover. Will you do a tutorial on how to make the cover on the journal you started with on this video. How you layered all the different fabrics. I'm not as creative as you. Pretty please!!! GOD Bless
I love this method! And your's are so fun! I must have made a dozen envelope journals, after watching Wendy's tute. I did a couple of them with the extra fabric on the spine too, but not all of them needed it. [fyi]
It’s beautiful. Just a question. Do you plan to open the one you glued on the top of that last journal? I think you doubled the tie around it so you won’t be able to open it. I could be mistaken. But you might want to check. It is beautiful!
She said she knows shes gluing it shut and wasnt planning to open it I dont understand why either? Maybe shell let us know her thought process... such a free spirit I just love watching her work Every day
Lovely! Would love a tutorial on the stitched piece you glued to the first book. I couldn’t catch the name of the artist that inspired it..“Nellie something”?
What beautiful journals!! You always have such gorgeous laces. The only way I’ve been able to get laces like yours is to buy them from eBay, and the truly antique laces are a bit expensive. I need to search out more flea markets, I guess. Where do you find most of what you use?
Hi ya 😁..i love your book hun..but im unsure of its purpose, would that be classed as a junk journal..?..i get that its personal to you coz you said about putting on a book shelf to look at from time to time , i think thats really nice to have..i made a small JJ over a year ago when i first watched a tutorial on it..but mine has no theme to it ..its just pattern paper & tea dyed paper...but i really like your Junk journal its very pretty & bulky.. i really would like to make one the same way you have made yours with the fabric hinges n stuff...do you have the full tutorial of making one on your channel...?. Im thinking as i get somewhat confused as to what the purpose of a junk journal is so im thinkingbi might need to purchase a digi kit that has a theme like victorian shabby chic i like that look...can you or do you recommend any digi kits and where i would get them please..?.. i currently do art journaling but not as ofton as i should..but lately been thinking bout making a junk journal again think the timing is right..Thank you again for shareing your lovely book. Hope all is well..🌻😁
Too much measuring always takes the fun out of it for me. When I measure carefully I get very upset when the result isn't perfect! I've learned to enjoy the imperfections. I love your style!
Camera angle - just to help out a bit - not a criticism- feels a little like we are standing on our heads but not awful. It is a bit further to the right than before. Can see off the edge of the table a bit to the right. 🤗
beautiful....and full of so many wonderful ideas!!
Thank you so much!
I literally LOL'd when you said care factor zero! Hubby cracked up to. Hugs Rachel
Thank you so much!
Oh my gosh...this is absolutely wonderful! What an amazing journal and it will be absolutely beautiful sitting on your shelf. Visitors will be curious and enticed by it.

It should definitely be our motto!!! Thank you so much!
Love seeing those friendship journals. TFS. Hope they are in a museum in a hundred years as a record of junk journaling and social history.

Ok- this cover threw me for a few minutes...in fact I may have to watch it again so it sinks into my brain--- so different than what we "normally" do for a journal- but such a fantastic way to hinge together some pieces!!!
It's a challenge thinking what to do with them. I need to get on and finish the others! Thank you so much!
So gorgeous Rachel.Thanks for sharing.

Very informative. TFS Rachel. I like the hinged journal. Going to have to give it a try

Your tag line should be ”have no fear, just go for it!” 👏😁 I love the way you’re so free, and enthusiastically try whatever.
Thank you so much 😊
These journals are beautiful x
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous. I like the spine also. Looks so unique. Thank you for your knowledge and time.

Oh I know, I need to create a space for them!
Love this. It’s a monster of a book!
Thank you so much!
You’re so clever Rachel!
Thank you so much!
I love the look of the tab binding and how you attached the cover. Very pretty! TFS 💕
Thank you so much!
Oh Rachel- I totally sympathize with you about the camera arm. It has taken me months to get it right. If Tony moved it now I’d have a conniption fit! Poor Steffie. “Almost brought him to tears!” 🤣
I’m not done watching but totally interested in seeing this!! And yes, the cutting of fabric is wonderful. 💕.
I did have a fit!
Fun to see the journals you made with the things people sent! Still plan to get mine off, starting to get out a bit more.
Thank you so much!

That looks so beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Oh those journals come out beautifully! Particularly love the last one but I think I would have left it so I could open that topper piece. Regardless, it’s just awesome. 🥰
I can open it i just cut the one not tied and can still open it and tie it up. Thank you so much!
Lovely !
Thank you so much!
Have to sneak a peak while I'm at work lol
Hi Rachel! Love how the Friendship Journal turned out!!! It looks all meshes so well. You did an amazing job!! love how you made the cover. Will you do a tutorial on how to make the cover on the journal you started with on this video. How you layered all the different fabrics. I'm not as creative as you. Pretty please!!! GOD Bless
I can't do that as i did a course. It was with Nellie Wortman you can purchase it on Etsy. Thank you so much!
This is amazing❤️
Thank you so much!
Nice journal.
Thank you so much!

I worried about the same thing! But oh, what a beautiful journal!
I was saying all the time: don't glue it like this. No don't.... Rachel! Ugh not listening... 🤣❤
She said she knows shes gluing it shut and wasnt planning to open it I dont understand why either? Maybe shell let us know her thought process... such a free spirit I just love watching her work Every day
Mieke van Meerten lol- me, too!
Yes i saw that i cut the wrapped one and am still able to tie it. Thank you so much!
Just beautiful...🌷did I miss something in the video? How will you open the one on top? It looked like you wrapped it up and glued it down..🧐
Hahahaha I did, I cut the one underneath and can still tie it. Thank you so much!
Lovely! Would love a tutorial on the stitched piece you glued to the first book. I couldn’t catch the name of the artist that inspired it..“Nellie something”?
It's Nellie Wortman. I did one of her courses. You hould check her out she's fab. Thank you so much!
Thank you! I’ve just signed up for one of her online classes. It’s fabulous!
What beautiful journals!! You always have such gorgeous laces. The only way I’ve been able to get laces like yours is to buy them from eBay, and the truly antique laces are a bit expensive. I need to search out more flea markets, I guess. Where do you find most of what you use?
I find them at antique markets i never buy laces online, too expensive. Thank you so much!
Roxy Creations thank you!

This book is a compilation of things that were sent to me so I am just going to admire it.
Amazing work,love it.What glue did you use?Iam still a beginner.Hello from Canada.
I use PVA glue normally it seems to glue everything. Thank you so much!
Too much measuring always takes the fun out of it for me. When I measure carefully I get very upset when the result isn't perfect! I've learned to enjoy the imperfections. I love your style!
Me too, that's exactly the problem with measuring! Thank you so much!
The pants are flapping in the wind indeed.
Camera angle - just to help out a bit - not a criticism- feels a little like we are standing on our heads but not awful. It is a bit further to the right than before. Can see off the edge of the table a bit to the right. 🤗
Great I'll see if I can fix it today! Naughty husband!!! Thank you so much!
What is the name of the fabric that you put first on the spine?
It's some sort of gauze that shops use for display here.
Lovely but I happened to notice the very first inside page had a ARGHHHH LABEL.
Hahahaha, I bet it was glaring at you!
You bet it was.
You seem to be unable to stop touching it you say I’m gonna stop touching it and then your little fingers tap tap tap.
