- I’m always excited and inspired by other artists in our community and I came accross a video by Darlene McConnachie the other week where Darlene created a mini journal from a couple of file folders. I've created one with a few changes to suit my own style and I thoroughly recommend watching the original video where the end result is slightly different.
Here is the link to the original video: • Mini File Folder Journ...

Hi Ceri, I just wanted to say I never fast forward your presentations, I do with many others, but never yours. I love your very engaging chat, it relaxes and captivates the attention and therefore cements my learnings in an easy flow. Thank you. ( I also thank you for not putting music to your tutorials or interrupting your demonstration with a fast forward, as we all know, we can do that ourselves) Have a fabby time in the USA)
Thank you Jane, I do occasionally put in sped up footage to try and keep the length of the video to a manageable upload length…..but it’s very rare. Thank you for watching.
What Jane said.
If I could thumbs up your comment a thousand times, I would!!! Often crafters think that everyone watching a video is a crafter too, but not so and when you’re just starting out, you truly need all the help you can get!
I have to tell you that there is not a moment of boring watching your entire process. I believe how much care you put into precision is inspiring. I learn so much ! There is no rush, the less rush the better because art is a form of meditation. Thank you.
Thanks so much 😊
I just love the way u show how to do all steps !!! And I NEVER fast forward and of your steps u show.
Stunning! I have spent HOURS watching you today. That's the beauty of inclement weather...
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you
Wow! I’m a new crafter and I think I just stumbled on a gold mine!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to include the finer points. I always seem to get stumped, where the video-crafter assumes everyone obviously knows things. And I can’t even tell you how impressed I am with your amazing organization skills! Kudos!!!
Thank you and welcome to my channel.
very cute!! You are an excellent teacher Ceri! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!!
You’re welcome Robin
OMG--those boxes of tags and journal cards you have is AMAZING!!!!! W🤩WZERS--LOVE to see more of what's inside and how it got to be so beautifully filled up. This is a great project--perfect size for gift-giving, traveling, bedside notes, soooooo many options.
Yup it’s such a useful size.
Absolutely ❤ this little book. I intend to make one ( it will be my first!) to gift to a friend who does journeling. Ceri, I SO enjoy watching and listening to you as you go through the process of each project...even if it's something that I 've never done. Doesn't mean that I never WILL, but I'm on the homestretch, so I 'd best " put a skip in it" !!! 😉😁
What a cute, quick journal. It would make a great gift for someone special. Thank you Ceri.
I think so too!
Your style really appeals to my old fashioned secretary’s soul! Neat, tidy and organized. I love this idea!
Lol….thank you Sue
Beautiful little journal...so enjoyed seeing & hearing your process in real time!! 💕🌹
Great news
Thank you for being so thorough with your instructions. I think it does set you a part in a world where many youtubers skip over the measuring, etc.
I try to learn from videos I watch as to what a good video should contain in my personal opinion.
Such an adorable little journal! Who wouldn’t love it? Thans so much for sharing!
Thanks so much! 😊
I’m so glad for your step by step and reasoning. Sometimes my brain needs that extra detail.
Linda, my brain always needs that little extra detail. Lol
Love this video Cari. I so enjoy how easy it is to follow your instructions and videos. You are a joy! Thank you!!!
You’re welcome.
Love this journal Ceri and I like your style of teaching with the explaining of whys and in real time. Tyfs 💛 I didn't fast forward as I like your banter 😊
Thank you and pleased you liked it.
I have to tell you how happy I am to have found your video. Thank you for the serendipity
You are so welcome
Thank you for your in depth explanations. I enjoy following. I am new to journaling and appreciate your neatness, calm voice and attention to detail. Your little journal is absolutely adorable.
Thank you and welcome.
You are such a great teacher! I love the way you explain things so clearly! This is the cutest journal, so versatile…love it!
Fabulous
This would be a great addition to a full size journal as a companion piece. TFS Ceri. Hope you have a great day. 🌞
Wonderful idea Donna. Thank you
Brilliant! so tidy and neat with the spine covering, sturdier and more substatial than the usual accordion fold. I've already made a pile for gifts. thank you for sharing this great idea.
Wonderful
Fantastic journal!!! Really love the sturdiness of it and all the writing spaces! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
I found this old video. Im soooo happy about it. A lady tried showing something similar but think she lost us all half way. No fast forward on your videos. I enjoy watching the whole video. Very excited about this. Thank you
This is absolutely perfect for a 12 days of Christmas idea I had. And so fun and easy to make. Thank you so much!!!
Wonderful news.
I am having such fun watching these videos! So many wonderful ideas - and so pretty!!!
Glad you like them!
At first I was like what is he talking about? That's not centered. Lol I was not paying attention. When you cut the notch out I realized what you were up to. Duh. I'm glad I kept watching. This is so cute. Glad you explain like you do. It helps us make sense of the entire project. Thanks Ceri.
Thank you Marlene
It is darling, with lots of writing room! Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome Sheila
I loved this video! So practical, so clear, so inspiring and relaxing.... Got my pen and paper out to make notes! 😁... And then you brought out the boxes of journaling cards and tags and I said to my hubby" look how tidy his stuff is!! ". I wanna be like you when I grow up! 😁
Lol…I struggle to work in clutter as I’m OCD, for some people it works for me chaos makes me shut down.
This was fun and easy! Thank you. Great instruction and enjoy your videos.
Made this! and watched Darlene's too! I added a cover and a belly band! Thank you for the video!(added link)
I never fast forward, I love watching your process and hearing your stories as your working. ( btw, I’m so glad you work in inches, ☺️). Love this sweet little journal. I have a friend that’s moving, this is a great going away addition to her gift. ❤️❤️
Great news, I will be making more of these in the future as they are so useful
I just fell in 💖 with this!!
Going to give it a try! 👍🥰
My girls will enjoy these.

First video of yours I have watched. Great teaching. Little words printed make the piece fun! Then you know the piece was a folder and that is kind of neat.
Thank you and welcome to my channel.
I love the way it turned out, it was fun watching the process.
Thank you
Love this adorable little journal. Perfect size to take along on a mini trip.

You’re welcome.
Ceri, I absolutely love how methodical you are I tend to do things the same way, that way I don’t forget a step. Hope you are doing well and had a great trip to Chicago. Have a blessed day❤
Thank you Karen, I’m enjoying Chicago.
I love the chomping sound.
Lol
This is so darn cute! 🥰🇨🇦🌸
It is sweet.
I love watching your tutorials. You’re a great teacher. I love doing mass projects instead of one at a time. You are fantastic. 💗
Thank you so much!
Absolutely love it. I love the way you teach. I am a beginner. Just love you.
Wonderful I always try to keep the beginner in mind when I’m creating.
What a marvelous idea, your little journal turned out beautifully…. I like the pages you picked, thanks for a great video. 🌸💕🌸
Thank you
Beautiful Ceri, I wasn’t expecting a new tutorial as you are on holiday so this was a lovely surprise. Hope that you are having a relaxing time. If I were you I would leave my clothes behind and stuff my suitcase with Tim Holtz ephemera 😆
Lol…yes I filmed ahead so that there was going to be no break in my videos.
Very nice and neat. Great size for a purse. Great tutorial ceri thanks
Thanks so much 😊 Suzy
I sure enjoy your projects and instruction! I’m learning so much.
Fabulous
I love your videos. :) Glad to see another male doing these crafts.
Glad you like them, thank you
Lovely! ❤
It was inspiring to see your organized boxes of journaling cards/tags. I’m a very organized/methodical person as well, and the boxes were a great idea. I get overwhelmed and have a difficult time trying to make decisions if things are in a hodgepodge. Love this journal. It’s nice to have something I can create in one afternoon, when I’m maybe not feeling well and need that wonderful boost I get from creating something. It doesn’t seem that ive wasted a whole day feeling bad. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
What an adorable little journal! I think I want to do one for my daughter, but Halloween themed, as she loves Halloween. She decorates a lot, and I feel this mini journal won't take up lots of space, but make a fine addition to her decor. Possibly laying at the base of a spooky calendelabra she has. Thank you so much for sharing, and for your excellent style of teaching! I also don't fast forward. My brain seems to need the repeating of the process anyway, to get it to stick in there. *~*
Fabulous idea thank you.
Yes, this *is* a sweet little make! Thank you!
Thank you I think so too.
That was just what I needed!! Simple and so cute and useful! Thanks!
Wonderful news, have fun.
That is so cute. You are so good at explaining things. TFS
Good to hear, thank you Nanci.
This is a charming little journal!!!!
Thank you Betty.
Such an amazing journal. Love your gelli art.
Thank you
This is such a cute little book! I really appreciate how you take the time to explain what you are doing and how to do it. I love the paper you used.
Thank you
Lovely work, Ceri; I really like it. Cheers. Have a great day.
Thank you Darlene, you too
Very sweet mini journal that would travel well in my purse. I think it would be a great idea to have one for each month. Then I would have a portable diary.
Fantastic idea and then maybe make a box to store them all in at the end of the year, you could theme the covers per month or per season as well. Thank you.
Ceri I really like this little journal. I think I might make a Christmas one. Thanks for sharing.
They’re so cute Ruth
So cute and easily kept in your purse❣🤗
It’s such a handy size
Fabulous Video Ceri! Thank You! 😊
