  • At long last, here is the beta version of the scrap buster “house”; the idea book that holds my scrap buster items. It uses 3 sheets of 12” x 12” Tim Holtz paper (this one is Memoranda, but any/all of his collections work well) and 4 sheets of thick paper or card stick. I’ve used Braille paper in here. In the next few days I’ll show you how I made the cover, the spine and how I’ve sewn in the signature. Thank you for your patience and for watching. Happy creating!
    ETA: Scrap Buster item list and corresponding video:
    1= journal cards & scrap clusters
    2= bookmarks & envelopes
    3= Gayle fold-down (Gayle Agostinelli) & die cuts/punches
    4= negative space & fold-over pockets
    5= match books & paper clips (including Paper Attic side pocket paper clip)
    6= scrap cards & scrap pads
    7= stamp cards & square-fold envelopes
    8= tabs & tags
    9= top-flip trifolds & tucks
    10= belly bands & windows/frames
    11= 3-pocket full page & top tucks
    12= top fold-downs (Laura Bame ) & paper snippet rolls
    13= triangle tucks (2) & shaped pockets
    14= collage pages & pocket flips
    15 & 16 (one video)= stacked pockets (3), button spots, concertina books (Wendy Townsend) & Tracie 2-sides (Tracie Fox)

    I’m not sure who keeps making these negative remarks, but this is an idea book, journal, a beautiful work of art , and obviously so much love and joy went into this. This has been the most informative and in depth series I have yet to see and have enjoyed it enough to watch it several time.

    Hi Cori, I love and greatly enjoy your videos and appreciate your sharing your ideas with us. I totally agree with many of the other comments here. If someone is not interested 5hey don't have to watch. Plus you are 💯 correct when you said do what you like and what makes you happy. We are individuals with a variety of likes and dislikes. It is what makes us unique. There is no rule book saying a journal has to be either this or that. You are so very creative Cori! Thank you!

    That was not a rant, but a very kind response to some whiny babies. I LOVE that you took the time and care to make your idea book beautiful and full of tiny details that make you happy, like the little bell from your grandmother (a great idea i might steal, by the way, as I have some similar bells from a door bell pull that I have from my grandparents' home). You allowing yourself to slow down and enjoy the process instead of just getting it done really inspires me, because sometimes I have a tendency to feel rushed after I watch a bunch of videos and get a false sense of urgency. So thanks for being you!
