It's refreshing to see someone using actual junk to make a junk journal, not printables, or pretty cardstock... I think that was the entire premise of a junk journal - they were meant to be made out of things you had lying around the house. They've almost lost their meaning.
Now this is REAL junk journal. And yeah, totally free and so pretty. I relate to you so much, I too save literally everything I find. Thanks for this, this is what I needed!
Beautiful! I love how we all collect every piece of junk mail that comes in the house,every tag off our clothes, every gift bag and free in store magazine! I’m ready to create…😊 thanks for making me feel ok with my obsession.❤
@@ShanoukiArt Here in Canada we have an overwhelming amount of daily junk mail. Soliciting from every business and charity. Great quality paper and card for tags and note book covers. ♥️
"please do not burn your craftroom down" - ok, thanks for the advice, I had to lough out loud! But, anyway, what I REALLY wanted to say, is, it is a really pretty Junk Journal, yes it is! TFS
When I started jj'ing in 2020 I found it rather stressful to use the beautiful papers. It wasn't until I learned to use actual junk that I found the stress free creating I was looking for. I love these kinds of videos especially when they are asmr.
I love, love, love a true junk journal. I HATE when RUclipsrs are trying to sell downloads or encouraging downloads on their site. Doing that sometimes makes for a better esthetic, but not the unique quality and art of a true junk journal.
O gosh….I so enjoyed every minute of this! I love making junk journals from junk. My son calls me a scavenger…lol💯 Can’t wait for the decoration video👍🏾
I love the way the pretty journals look, but my personal preference is to work with real junk. It is a true record of everyday life. I still have bits and pieces of things I saved from when I was a child because I could see beauty almost everywhere. I somehow knew that one day I might want to remember the events, conversations and emotions these common objects invoked. Thanks for this tutorial.
"It's like Hoarders Anonymous over here. We're keeping it all -- and we're going to use it all." 😅 My daily mantra for the past 30 years. 😅...😵💫...🤤...🥳...🤪... 😐😑😐... That's. So. Me!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Love the brown paper bag with the cockatoo on it. Using empty tissue boxes are good too, love the butterfly bag as well. Opp shops are a good place to get ephemera and old music sheets or lace & material. Looks really good, thanks for the inspiration.
I totally agree. Some people are really just scrapbooking when they use all those “pretty, vintage, printables,” etc. They have missed the point of junk journaling, which is to use stuff that you usually throw away, as a way to recycle and move away from buying all the prettified stickers and things that the industry puts out to be bought.
Hi again, Shana❤️ I actually put together a tn-sized journal to take to Paris (we are going in a week)🤗 I watched so many of your videos last night while I made the journal and I felt super inspired❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much, I am so happy to inspire you. Enjoy your trip to Paris and filling in you journal. Do share on socials if you can and tag me as I would love to see 💙 🛫 🇫🇷
I love a "junk" journal! I am currently working on one as my 2024 journal to record highlights of this year. Am using some free digitals to decorate the pages as well as junk labels, tags, etc.
I gave been saving all these things for so long, and just found them all while cleaning out things. Still had to keep everything, so thanks for this video, I can now do something with it. I may end up with lots of junk journals.😊
This is really a junk journal. We have the same idea. I used junk and make journals. It depends on each person to decorate them, and it represent our unique personality. ❤❤ love it!
Refreshing video! You inspired me to flip through the first junk journal I ever made-in 2020 when I discovered the craft on RUclips-and it was all junk, no scrapbook paper or Tim Holtz or anything purchased. It has such a feeling of joy and creativity to it. I donated scrapbook paper, Temu, Amazon, craft store items and having a small amount of that stuff, and a larger amount of “real junk” is more inspiring. Too much stuff = overwhelmed. Thank you!
From the comments I learned that July 16th is your Birthday.HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!. But for me July 16th is my Anniversary, I celebrate 35 years of marriage to a wonderful husband and father. Two beautiful reason to celebrate indeed!! Also great true junk journal video, I was looking to make a true junk journal and I found this video as my incentive. Thank you.
I just came across your channel today and I loved this video. I am fairly new to junk journaling and am still finding my style. I have however discovered I love the true "junk" journal style. Thank you for sharing and I have become a new subscriber of yours.
Love this. I'm fairly new to junk journaling, but I want to use more junk and less printables or even scrapbook papers. This came out really great. Loved the colors. I also loved what you said, "Don't ever let there constraints on how you create or why you create. Do what brings you joy!" Love this. I wrote this in my craft journal, just to remind myself when I start to wonder why I'm doing this. Great video!
July 16 is my daughter in laws bday.😊 All of my journals are made with bits and bobs, junk and (ads, magazines, bags, packaging etc) recycled paper. I will use a freebie digital once in a while. I am subscribed😊! Looking forward to next video.
LOL. Love the comment, Hoarders Anonymous. Love watching this and still feel intimidated about making one. 73 and still not over being criticized for not doing it right. Need to gather more junk.
Loved the way u created this journal. Gave me lots of ideas, and you are right, each of us has to created according to our style and not restrict ourselves. Thank you for sharing😊❤
Good morning. Another idea I would like to share. When I get packaging boxes with pretty paper on it, I will cut the box down, and then I find a corner to peel of the layer of the paper. For the most part, it peels off easily. If not, no biggie because I use it for collage. I also do this with clothing tags. The labels come of easily, and then I have a card board base for my papers.
I love how this turned out. I am watching this whilst sort through my stash of junk journal supplies. Thank you for the inspiration. ☺ I love your no rules attitude too.
Lovely Video, I love doing all types of junk journals. I love the way you put it together, I always get very distracted at that stage, deciding what pages I like & dislike & also reading the pages! Can wait to see you decorating. 💜
July 16 is your birthday, Shana❤. I find this video super-inspiring. Sometimes it is good to go back to the basics and put together something without overthinking it (as we often do). Thats why we collect all that «trash» (or should I say treasures?) after all😊 Thank you so much for sharing! 🦋🌸❤️ Åshild
I am loving this !!! I too save everything, I make mix media cards,pictures, just whatever, I am excited to make this!! Is right up (my alley) thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
I love seeing junk journaling projects using “junk” instead of printables. The print-and-cut project packs are pretty but this feels so much more creative and natural. Thanks for sharing your process and ideas!
Lovely journal. Will be trying this. I only use recycled material for my journals, but tend to go neutral 😐. Love how you you used bright vibrant colours. Really beautiful. Nonna NZ
I really enjoyed this video on using things that would be thrown away. I love the idea of the printables but as I have no computer or printer that's not an option for me. I have actually unsubscribed from many RUclips channels because I'm not interested in the idea of printables. Thanks for sharing 😊
Yes happy birthday for the 16th, was my mums birthday too. X. Love junk journaling, and any arty journaling that doesn’t have a name….make it what you would like it to be. Thank you for all your inspiring videos.
vielen Dank für dieses Video - ich bin schon gespannt auf den nächsten Film, wenn das Journal dekoriert wird. Ich spreche leider nur sehr schlecht Englisch, aber ich habe deine Erklärungen gut verstanden. Liebe Grüße bis zum nächsten Film - freue mich schon💝💜💓
BRILLIANT, WOW 😮 what an amazing way to use scraps from different places & home. Excited to see how you will decorate your journal, so happy I’ve kept the ribbons from gift bags. Thanks for sharing ❤❤.
Thanks for sharing this Shana! I have a friend that wants to get into doing this kind of art and the more I show her your videos the more she gets excited and wants to do it so I hope it works out for her. She loved this video. thank you again for sharing.❤❤❤
Hi Shana! ❤ I love your video! It is really inspiring! I can't wait to see how you are decorating it! ❤ thanks for sharing it with us! Hace a lovey day! ❤

Super fun!!! I have a random collection of stuff as well.... My husband just gave me a big stack of old baseball cards to. They're pretty coo!!! Thank you for sharing this🎉

"Do what brings you joy."
Everyone is getting hung up on titles and not enjoying themselves anymore.
Totally agree 🩷💛

When you makes the holes with the awl, push the awl farther down to make the holes bigger. Then it's easier to sew in your signatures. ❤❤
