Hi there! My name is Bonny, and Clive is my kitty cat and crafting buddy. I make junk journals, ephemera and embellishments from recycled/repurposed/scavenged items. I hope to inspire you to create junk journals without purchasing new materials or printing digital kits. Just use what is already in the world around you! 😊💚♻♻
Glad you like them! I had so many pages left in my collaged phone book and this was an easy way to use some up. They're thin enough to pop in journal pockets too which is great. Hope you've been well! 🙂💚🩵
@@menm_91 Thank you! All good, and still crafting, just can't edit at the moment as I need to limit screen time. Can't wait to get back on YT as I have lots to share, including some kooky experiments lol 😄😂🤎
Bonnie this whole Cooking Journal has been such a delight! I get such joy watching you create! you are talented and you always make me smile and giggle along the way... I love this journal 😊
@@hunnyprice9824 Thank you Hunny! I'm really glad you're enjoying the cooking journal series. I've had to take a week off but hopefully I'll be back this weekend to decorate the cover and maybe add a dangle. Glad to give you a little giggle along the way too hehe 😄💚💚
@@retroqueenbeeart Thank you so much Vicky! I really appreciate your kind words and support. I've had some eye issues the past week but hopefully will be back this week to finish the cover and maybe add a dangle 🙂💚💚
@@retroqueenbeeart Hi hi Vicky! Kirsten and I were just taking about how her and I come up with similar ideas a week or two apart all the time and she mentioned you were making some too lol. So funny how that works out! I'm looking forward to seeing your version! 😀🩷💜
Thank you Betty! I thought they'd be nice to pin to the string that I wrap around my Etsy orders to pretty them up a bit. Hope you've been well and finding lots of crafty time! 🙂🩷🩵
Honest to goodness, every time I see that picture of the little girl sitting at the table at 8:18 (top RHS) I think 'what is Bonny doing with a photo of me?' There must be a similar photo of me somewhere in my parents things... Its jarring. Every single time I've seen it I have had the same small shock 😝She looks just like me as a kid.
Oh you're just trying to point out how cute you were! 😜. I love that picture; so adorable. You should find your pics and scan them for your Etsy so everyone can have cute baby Kirsten pics!! 😀🩷🩵
Love it!!! 💜💜💜 I sat with my elderly lady again this morning, so worked on making the flowers, she loved them, over and over again, lol.🌻🌻🌻 I normally bring a couple journals with to show her, she thinks I'm talented 🥴 I only got maybe 6 made, then just worked on cutting the flowers out in different sizes and put them in stacks to put together, the brads worked awesome. I soaked some cardboard boxes yesterday, to take apart and glued some book pages on them, to hopefully cut some specimen cards and frames out of. I borrowed a friends Circut, to will give it a try later. I used the scraps of the boxes to make flowers with also, and she had old newspaper ads, so used the colorful parts from there for flowers, I really like how they came out. I finished what I had brought home, so have a dozen now, I think, and will make more after I do some weeding.... ugh, lol. You mentioned the "line stamp" again, think you said you made it? I had brother cut a couple pieces of thinner word for me in a couple sizes that would fit a basic page, then I put rubber bands down it, depending how wide I wanted the spaces, you can change that whenever you want, and then you have a "line stamp"... if that makes sense 😊 Ok, the weeds are calling for me.... at least I hope that's them calling... 😮😮😮
Yay you made some of the flowers! Using brads is a great idea. I did check but only had huge old silver office ones and itty bitty gold ones. The cardboard sounds interesting! I made my line stamp with an old leather necklace cord. It was just the right thickness and locks up ink and stamps really well. I'll come across it sooner or later. I have a feeling its in the boxes of stuff Ive been unpacking from my old craft room lol. 😀🩵💚
@@BonnyAndClive I was gonna post the flowers, thought I followed you on Facebook, but guess not, I don't see one for your channel, lol. I made some paper as well today, got it nice and thin this time, but need to make a new frame, as mine have seen better days, so maybe tomorrow on that. I used old window screen, it works but a little too flexible, so gonna stop after seeing a movie tomorrow, and see if I can find new screen. Also plan to make a couple sundresses, so gonna go through all my millions of patterns and pull out some I'll never use again and try making paper out of those, see what happens. I saved some foil from Reese's peanut butter eggs, decided to fold it up and cut a flower out of it, I think it's gonna be cute mixed in the flower, cuz hey, it's shiny, that always makes me happy 😊
@@BonnyAndClive Hey Bonny... if I wasn't half blind I woulda known to look under Bonn"y" instead of Bonn"ie", jeepers, why didn't you say I was spelling your name wrong all this time, lol. 🤭 So guess it's my turn to check in on you, where have you been?? I mean geesh, you missed my birthday, how did you let that happen!!! 🥳 It was yesterday 🥴 I sat with a new elderly with dementia, she slept in, and I got to craft for just over 3 hrs, so a nice birthday when all was said and done 😁 Hope all is well, I did make a bunch more flowers and will post a pic eventually. 🌻Sitting with brothers dogs this week and can't find my laptop to bring along, this getting older is getting old, lol
Happy 35th birthday Carol! 😜. Hope you had a lovely day! I had some eye issues for over a week. All good now but now it's school holidays so I am on baby sitting duties. I'm hoping to get a video up Monday as this weekend I have daddy daycare (I also look after my dad with dementia). I'm knackered and I need a holiday! Think I'll come knock on your door so you can take care of me for a few weeks hahahaha. Make sure the fridge is well stocked I eat alot 😂😂😂💚🩵
I love all the browness and neutral colours of this journal just like the pretty flowers the other day. I love that neutral look lately, feeling myself moving in that direction. Just love that Bonny style ! 😊❤😊❤😊
Thank you Molly! I really love colour but I love the neutrals, earthy tones and grungy even more. I especially like when things have a weathered and worn look. I do have a lot of bright coloured fabric and books though so I'm going to have to do some colour soon lol. 😄🩵💚
I think I'm having a dejavu! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5j4zJJpD0tI.html PS: I'm sure you're not the only one who makes envelopes like these, but it was funny to see Natasa make them too, considering I just rewatched your video ^_^
Hehe I haven't seen the video but yeh, we all make the same things sooner or later lol. We used to make these little paper wallets when we were kids so they have been around a long time. There are a few other types as well but I can't remember how to fold them. Hopefully someone will do a video on those one day because it's been too long since I made them and I can't remember lol. 😄💚
Thank you Liz! I thought they'd be nice to pin to the string that I wrap around Etsy orders and happy mails; pretty the packages up a little. Just saw you're back on YT. Loved your dragonfly journal! 🙂💚🌼
Thanks Molly! We actually used to make these as kids, and we'd sew them together to make leis and do this silly dance like we were Hawaiian or something lol. Fun days! 😄🩷🩵🌻
Thank you lovely! Your stuff is in the same pile as Kirstens lol. That's it, this week I am sorting that pile and sending it out!!! I need that extra bit of desk lol 😂😂🩷🩵
So, so cute Bonnie, love them. Thinking a brad through the center to hold them together would be cute as well, and less work, lol.... and size doesn't matter??? Funny, cuz I heard it did.... 🤭🤫😂🤣😂
Oh Carol you miss smarty pants, you could have told me to use a brad before I spent all that time sewing buttons sheesh! lol. Actually I don't think I even have brads, except those GIANT office ones lol. Hahaha you're so naughty. I was so sweet and innocent until I met you. I hope they drag you to confession before we share a room at the nursing home; you've corrupted me enough already 😜 🤣🤣🤣🩷🩵
@@BonnyAndClive Will be sitting with my elderly lady again on Mon so gonna bring supplies to make these. I normally bring too much to work on and inevitably forget something, so get little done. I also now bring a couple journals so she can look at them when she asks what I'm making. 💜💜💜 And so sorry, no one is dragging me to confession, lol. 🤐 I remember sitting in the dining room, don't remember who I was talking too, but my dad overheard me say I didn't believe in confession, why should I haveta sit.... oh wait, kneel in a dark box and tell a man, who is just a man, what I did wrong and he makes the decision whether God would forgive me or not?? Did I miss those requirements outlined in the bible???... Ok, so I've never read the bible, 😱I only got through the first few pages and was done with that, lol. Don't get me wrong, I believe there is a God, but as far as what the Catholic religion taught me growing up, nope, I have my own thoughts but that's a topic for face to face discussions 😁 I mean really, is using a fake ID to get into a bar so I could go dancing a bad thing💃👠... I think not 😂🤣😂 Besides, honestly, if I remember correctly, I simply mentioned listening to Dan Vasc sing and your "sweet and innocent" mind compromised my pure and virtuous thoughts.... so yeah, just throwin' that out there 💜😇💜😇💜
@@carolm9451 Lol I've never been. If I do something wrong that needs to be said out loud, I guess I'll just tell Clivey lol. So you can always tell me, and I'll pass it on to Clivey for you. Now tell me allllll your secrets 😜😁😂💚
@@BonnyAndClive Well, you're not missing anything, lol. My parents were "very" Catholic, populate the earth and all that, lol. My twin was #5, I was #6, so when we were born, they had 6 kids under the age of 5. 👶👶👶👶👶👶 My aunt would always laugh, saying when she came to visit my mom, kids would be swinging off the chandelier and mom would be drinking her cup of coffee, calm as could be, while my aunt was trying not to have an anxiety attack, lol.😵💫 I was sick from birth, probably because I tried to kick my twin outta the way so I could be first outta the chute, but instead I just plain kicked her out, lol. I had 2 surgeries and was hospitalized a 3rd time for pneumonia before I was a year old. My youngest brother came 4 years later, then more problems with me before my youngest sister came another 4 yrs after that. So, compared to most of my sisters, I truly was an angel, 😇🥰 I was too sick to get into much trouble, them, I could tell you stories about, lol.🤭🤫 Despite it all, I do have my fair share of stories though, and nope, I refuse to be the downfall of poor Clive's mental health. 🙀😿😻
Thank you Pirjo! It's almost finished at last. Takes forever to film making a journal lol. I hope you have been well and finding lots of crafty time! 🙂🩵🩷
Bonnie you are just a young one. Stop calling yourself old I was. I was married and had two kids in the 80s. I wasn't watching anything like that. I was changing diapers and making formula LOL
Lol Judie according to my grandkiddies, I was born in the olden days lol. That ask all sorts of questions, like, did we have cars, did we have a tv, did we have to use candles at night? lol. It's so funny. I love their questions. They can't imagine a world with no computers and mobile phones and internet!! lol. Every birthday for many years I turned 35. This year I had to turn 45 because a few grays are peeking through lol. I'll be 45 for some years now 😂😂🩵💚
