(9) Building a scrap buster idea book. First 5 minutes are today’s items. 

I can’t believe someone would tell you your last video was boring. First of all, that is rude. Second, stop watching if you are bored. I found it informative, as is this video. I love that you are doing this series. I’m a relative beginner and love seeing the detailed instructions. I appreciate all the time this takes you! Thank you! 🤗🤗

Your videos are never boring, they are so informative! Educational is how I would classify them. Great job. Love all your videos.

Hi Cori, when you ink the edges of your artwork, you are reminding the newbies (yes, I'm one) to ink the edges! Your videos are amazing. I learn so much watching you do everything from start to finish. TFS your knowledge and your enthusiasm. I find it contagious! Can't wait to see the next video. Thanks again.

How about if you are bored move on and don't be so rude ! Love the way you take the time to share your amazing ideas and talent with us xx

A day without a Cory video is a sad day (not that I’ve had one yet.) I love watching and crafting with you!

Cori, your videos are never boring. They are full of great tips, ideas and instruction. And, they are never too long. I’m not a “newbie” but I still gets lots of inspiration and good instruction from you. You’re a gem to put these series together and I watch and enjoy every video. I love seeing all your decorated examples. (Maybe, hint hint, a long video at the end showing a flip through of your great work).

BORING???!!!! Cori, your videos are awesome!! Your ideas, clusters, flips, folds etc are GORGEOUS!!!!

Dear Cori, I am with most of the people here. You are very knowledgeable and I am here to learn, not hear or watch you sing and dance a jig. I bet you could though . I am suspecting you are multi talented. Love, Lenie

I have been making papercrafts for about 30 years, and have always loved making collages and clusters but never had an organized way to make them until I watched your video’s. They are so loaded with instruction and idea’s what fun!!! Thank you so much for sharing your imagination with all of us who also love this hobby!

Thanks for all the great ideas. I’m a retired teacher and you do an excellent job explaining your steps in a project. Sorry someone said a video was boring. That’s certainly not kind. I appreciate all your hard work. It’s so easy to forget ideas. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Never boring! Don’t listen to those who have nothing better to do than complain. Found your channel about 1 month ago, now I’m obsessed. Thank you for sharing

I just wanted to tell you how much I love your videos. It is evident that you teach, and I’m so thankful for that! Your instructions are clear and I love the examples you give. Thanks so very much!!!!! 💗

Ahhhh really enjoyed today's video. Thank you :)

Relaxing is not boring! I love your idea! And I love seeing you catch your goofs! ha. I do that all the time! Truly enjoy your style!

Thank you, Cori, for providing a video chocked full of information and ideas! This is definitely one that will be replayed to ensure that I’m getting all of your great ideas into my head and examples made. You’re a treasure! 😀

Cori....I am LOVING this series of such innovative and useful ways to use scraps!!! Your journals are stunning and I am always inspired by your videos!!....NEVER BORING! Thanks for so generously sharing your ideas!!

I love these series! I keep them handy so I can use them for creative block busters and to go outside my comfort zone. I have learned so much from you. Thank you so much!!

Your video's are far from boring. I have learned so much and I love the papers you use. God's Blessings

So happy I found you. You are not Boring at all.

Love the Justin Case story!

Dear Cori I am in love with the way you do things and the way you teach. Thank you for your time and the fact that you share your time and talents with us. Love. LOVE your work. I spend hours watching and are busy with my take on your scap buster journal. 😁😊❤️❤️

Cori another video with great ideas. Thank you for a fun video.😍🌴

I love your videos, there not boring I get a lot out of them. Thank you

I was born in 62, great idea. I’ll have to start looking.

Love that purple tape. I watch your videos all the time. They give me more ideas.

Thank you so much Cori for another instructive episode on "Building a Scrap Buster Ideabook"! I can not repeat enough times how good you are at teaching us tips and tricks, really appreciate it! When it comes to shipments of journals and other things - my experience is that there are no problems with sending this in lined envelopes abroad. Wish you a nice day! Hugs from Helen

I am loving this journal. Ordered Nuvo and wow!! Love it. Put a pocket down and said , well I will be careful enough to put Nuvo on and work on the next page. I have lost count of the number of times I have touched it or even put my arm on the wet Nuvo, but I still love it. Lesson learned because now I have a journal that I can't turn the page and continue to work. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

Cori, you are so talented and very informative!! For those who find fault in her videos, concepts.... Scroll on by and keep your negativity to yourself!!!!!!

Lots of knowledge! Thanks so much for sharing all your information with us, very much appreciated!

I love your videos. I learn sooo much watching them!!!!! Many thanks

I Feel fortunate to have happened on to your channel. Your process, teaching manner, and presentation is succinct and informative and your creative ideas are wonderful! Your attention to detail is simply the best I've seen. I do so appreciate your creative experience! Thank you!

I know I am late to this party, but I just wanted to say I find all your videos educational, and knowledgeable, I love all the helpful hints, tips, and hacks you share. I am such a fan of your channel and I share your videos and name with everyone I think might be interested in your content. About the box dilemma, I look in my dollar tree store for a thick cardboard gift box or tin in the size I need. I put my folios, or journals in them and tie them shut with some pretty lace, silk, or anything that fits the feel of the journal. I then put the box in a plastic bag and then the bag in a bubble envolop. Works perfect every time. Thanks for all the work and time you spend on helping us. I have learned so, so much from you.

I look forward to your videos and amazing ideas! Looking forward to receiving my journal! Thank you for all the time and creativity you give to us!

I can’t believe someone said yesterday was boring! Come on people, there’s enough mean people in this world please don’t bring it into this world. I enjoy her so much and that’s hurtful when she doesn’t really need to do this for all of us. I appreciate you every day you teach us something. I was a teacher for 40 years and retired at the end of last school year so I love all your posts.

Cori, thanks so much for the super video ! Love all your videos. Hugs

boring !! omg I have been scrapping for 20 years & YOU CANNOT BELIEVE all the fantastic ideas you have shared that I have never made before ....love your tutorials , please don't change , I adore what I have made since I started following your buster idea book...thank you for sharing all your ideas....

Спасибо Вам!Вы меня вдохновляет. Елена

I so appreciate your videos. You are so talented. Thank you for sharing. Love you.

This video was wonderful so creative and informative. I want to save it so I can watch again and stop and make some of these things thanks so much

I just love your videos. I always learn so much! Also, you provide lots of inspiration and ideas so I find my brain taking off in all kinds of directions to make things you have inspired. I've got to stop because I have two containers filled with scrap busters! But I can't beat my addiction to your channel!!!!

never boring easy to follow you explain things well and you show your thought process. as a busy person i love these short videos. thank you

Thank you so much Cori, I really really enjoyed watching you create these amazing and awesome little thing’s. I’m really really sorry that some moron said your videos are boring How Dare They!!!!!!!!! Nothing you do is boring, in fact is that you are really really talented and clever too. Please do take any notice of these people. I really really enjoy everything you do. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

This is probably too late, but I would wait for the boxes. Haven't had good luck with padded mailers. They allow too much movement. You are never boring.

I used padded poly mailers that fit the journal perfectly- no wiggle room. Not a single problem! People who whine on RU-vid should be fined. I enjoy your videos immensely and to be honest, your voice is so soothing my blood pressure drops! ♥️🥰 Keep on sharing the love!

I mentioned yesterday how I had just found your channel and know I will be learning a LOT from you. So I watched the Scrap buster Idea Journal and thought oh it's nice but why would I use my time to do one of those. Well! after watching more of your videos I now know I don't have the greatest memory, and I have seen you do so many neat things, Yes I WILL be making the Idea Journal now. So I am a convert and its a great Idea, Thank you for all your work and information.

Great video. You are never boring. I love informative and concise instructional videos. You tic the boxes always. Thank you for sharing.

Pay no heed to anyone saying your videos are boring. I have learned so much from you in the last few weeks since I subscribed. They should just move on. You don't need that kind of negativity. Most likely spam. Keep on doing what you do! You are very talented! Thanks for sharing with us. Kristi

I learned something on the tabs and tags, I didn’t think of using movie tickets as a tab. That was a great idea.

Newby here and so glad that I found your amazing channel. I appreciate your detailed teaching style.

Another informative video Cori! You and the rest of us gals don't have time to devote to these negative people that comment! Ignore them! You are a fantastic and very creative person! Love ya!

Never boring! Ignore those type of comments. 💖

Cori I get so many good tips from your tutorials. No way are they boring. They must be boring their self to say such a stupid remark. Keep up your great work

So much info, exactly what Ive been looking for ages Thank you so much Cori 🇦🇺🌸❤️

Beautiful video. I use sticky note pads(dollar tree)to make mini books. Cut the pad in half or I keep normal size. Love that I can also use all my scraps to make mini pads. Thank you for sharing

Thank you and I appreciate your time and expertise.

Another great video, so informative. I cannot believe someone was rude enough to say your video was boring🙄. Thanks for all the time you put into showing us the techniques. I am so enjoying crafting along with you on this series. I must say I am quite relieved you have delayed your Forest book project. As a newbie to this sort of crafting Its good to focus on one project at a time 😊

That circle punch that sticks, try punching some wax paper to make it slide easier, I also sharpen my punches with either cooking foil or very fine wet and dry sandpaper. I’m new to junk journals so finding your idea journal a great starting point!

Wow Cori, I was just liking most of the positive comments and I truly am exhausted and people truly do learn from you .......

Love ALL your ideas and tutorials with added tips and tricks! Take as much time as you feel is needed to get the info to us! TFS!

Mini books are adorable! I like watching anything you do! TFS🤗

Thank you for all your pearls!!!!! So grateful for your clear instruction and ways to avoid pitfalls😊

Unbelievable how rude people can be. In no way was your video boring, but then if you look at the likes compared to the dislike you can see there are only 2 people who have a miserable life! Keep doing what you do Cori, we love you 🥰🥰🥰

Oooolala!!! Almost a whole hour with Cori!!!! Such a treat! Love all your super ideas and great techniques, Cori! Blessings~~~

Cori, thank you...I love your ideas!

Love this series

I have yet to watch a video that I have not learned. I have only just found you, & I have learned from each of them. Thank you for sharing 🌻🏵🧁🧁

Love the itty bitty books, Such a fun project😊

Hello Cori! Firstly - I’m a ‘ 65er as well (twins, haha). I think I’ll collect anything that says ‘65, September and/or 30. That’s a great theme idea. I made both versions of your 4x3 minis and I love them, they are adorable. I wrapped a piece of fabric around for the closure and then I sewed a jump ring in the middle of the ‘bow’ and added three little bead dangles. The closure just slides on and off. I’ll send you a picture. A couple of years ago I bought magnets from Amazon.ca - 100 magnets measuring 5mm in diameter and 1mm thick. They are surprisingly very strong for tiny magnets and when I use them in journals, I pair them up with a thin washer. 😘

I don’t think your videos are boring at all ! You are so detailed and it is so appreciated!! I’m looking forward to the journals in June ! Love the idea of the You version ! My birthday is on January too - 1.28.58 funny story my brother was born in the same day in 62 ! Thank you Cori!!! 💜

Love watching you work. MAILERS- You can go onto usps website and order their padded mailers, (they are free but need to be pre ordered and delivered in my area anyway) but the ones I got are probably too big for these mini journals. I have used the padded mailers a lot for mailing my homemade soaps to customers and a few journals and many happy mails. I love the padded envelopes and you can also use extra bubble wrap if you feel it needs it and or cardboard scraps to add stability. The padded envelopes are by far my favorite way to go. Another thing I’ve learned is to get the padded envelopes that are the plastic not the ones that have a paper layer on the outside. They get through any bad weather better. I also had a friend who had a cookbook that she sold and the post office was “losing” many of her purchased cookbooks. She found that the brightly colored plastic bubble wrap envelopes got “lost” way less! So to summarize... yes bubble wrap envelopes that are brightly colored are the best way to mail!! If you have plain bubble wrap envelopes that you have already purchased, grab a sharpie and doodle all over it and “brighten” it up so you don’t have to deal with any losing of packages. Sometimes I just make hearts all over in different colors of sharpie and it looks adorable and gets to it’s new home. Hope that made some sense and let me know if u need more help!

Hi Cori!!! I love your channel!!!! You really explain things and I love your style!!! Thank you for sharing with us!! I'm a newbie!!!!

Wowza! Luv all of these ideas! Purple tape even! Cutting the wee books!! I can see making a ton for Mopsy /Flopsy/PeterRabbit journals (Gayle would do this for her bunny journals). And I need to find a smiley/frowney face divet at Tuesday morning. Boring... never!!!! Keep truckin

Thank you so much Cori! I just love hearing you sharing... I never find it boring no matter how short, simple or .... love your journal ideas too You are a wealth of knowledge and inspiration!!! Have a great day🥰🥰😘

I just found your channel about a month ago and I've been so inspired!! I've been making junk journals for a few years now, and I wish I'd found you then. You have so many great ideas! I really appreciate that you take the time to make the videos. I was born in 61 and I'm now addicted to finding that number!!

I'm born on April 1st.... that's going to be one funny journal...🤣

Got your name from Gayle Agostinelli, she mentioned how you use tiny skinny strips... saw that video and loved it! Love this one too, I'm very much into using scraps👍 I use the same little white bottles for my glue and also found that the little tops get in the way. But you can remove it completely! Unscrew the top and take it off but don't cut it off. I've seen someone do that and it's just asking to get lost! Leave the top on the "thread" and the ring at the other end. You can then just slip the ring over the top of the bottle or just let it dangle🙂. I hope this is making sense. Thanks for sharing all your neat ideas, I'm a fan!😄

Your videos are AWESOME! Your voice is perfect and I have learned SO much! I have tons of subscriptions and you are the only person I have been able to sit and watch ALL your videos and come back for second and third viewings (so far) ;) Keep on with your creative self!

Your videos are great! It’s so hard to ignore unkind remarks when we put our hearts and souls out there in our art. Rest assured that they are very interesting and informative. I would wait on the boxes. Envelopes are going to get smushed no matter how much padding, and the 14th is Friday, so it’s just a few days. Just my humble opinion. Again, I really enjoy your videos and look forward to them - Blessings! ❤️

Someone said that your video was boring?! That really chafes my hide. The entitlement of people today! You are a very patient, methodical teacher and I appreciate that! Those other people weren't paying attention in school when the teacher told them to sit quietly and wait if they already knew this part. Nevermind, Cori, you're a star and they're just jealous. Seriously, though, you might think you're taking longer to explain something than other youtubers would, but then there's a reason you have a lot of fans, and I think it's precisely because you take longer to go over all the little details and tricks and tips. You don't miss anything or gloss over anything, and a lot of people appreciate that. So there.

I so appreciate this series! Thank you so much. I love the instructional aspect and the bite-size sessions. Also, I appreciate you answering questions from viewers. I'm new to junk journaling and have learned so much from watching you. I agree with the previous comment from Vicky H - there's no cause to be rude in comments! Keep doing you!

Fabulous informative video 🤩

Thank you for another wonderful video! Quick tip for newbies - to save on magnets, use a small metal washer with the magnet. Instead of using two magnets ;)

I absolutely love your videos!! I always learn something when I watch. I’m also curious whether folks have had luck mailing journals in envelopes. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talent. You are very much appreciated!

I'm building up a great cache of ephemera for my cards and journal books ... so much fun doing it along with someone!

You’re a great blessing to the crafting community! Your videos don’t have a lot of fluff and are chock full of nuggets of crafting wisdom! I find them inspiring...and sometimes frustrating because I end up with a massive case of “squirrel-itis”! 😂😂😂 If you could show us how to stick to one project at a time without getting sidetracked, THAT would be amazing! 😉 You’re the best!

Hi Cori, There are padded envelopes with gussets that I mail my books in now. Seems to work fine as I have followed up with my friends for feedback. I buy the 5 envelope pkg from Amazon so you might try that first before you commit to a change. Hope this helps, Love your channel. Thanks, Sandy

Bye Bye Felicia 👋 I love Cori's videos! They NEVER disappoint

To help with tape that is too sticky, you can stick it do jeans or material and it will pick up lint but still works and is less sticky. Tab and tag video was not boring. That punch that is sticking you can try and revive it by punching aluminum foil I have had it work on that type of punch to sharpen it.

finally got BOOK pages today yay , not old old books but hey got em for a buck each so so cares . I got a real cool book with just art of buildings in Budapest . with this really cool spiderweb embossed tissue paper in-between each drawing , the tissue paper is thicker than regular tissue paper but not vellum . no copyright on it or date anywhere . then i found a Sherlock Holmes with illustrations so I traded it for my Sherlock Holmes book . so 4 books for 4 bucks . =)

Shipping tip: wrap in tissue, then a layer of bubble wrap (or similar product such as a piece of cardboard that you have scored into a rough shape of a box/ flattened tube ) and slide it all into padded envelope. Also, Envelopes are usually less expensive to ship. *** I have never found you boring, you are very thorough and exact and yet still allow for creativity. If a video ( any video) doesn’t strike my creativity, I move on to the next one. ***. Thank you for taking time out of your day to creat, record, edit, publish and share all of your secrets with the world. It makes me wonder, that someone who took time to write a negative comment, has any creativity at all and why aren’t they making “Perfect” videos that everyone will like. ...? Just sayin.

Thank you Cori😁I always get ideas and inspiration from your videos! I love using a tuck as a closure. I was wondering how to get that semi circular hole lol. I use painters tape but destickify it on my pants 😄. Super cute book 😍. Eva from bohemian crafting uses 1 magnet then something magnetic to hold it. She uses everything from pull tabs from food tins to batteries! I found out the little metal wick holder in candles are magnetic for lighter things. Oh, I put my Collal in those bottles and just hook my pinky finger around the rubber top thingy and it keeps it out the way. Love hearing your thought process 😁. Lol I knew a guy called I.Askew 😄. I'm thinking you could sandwich the album between card then slide into the padded envelope maybe. Thanks for all your sharing 💖

Wonderful

Without reading all 60 comments...and having received one of your ink boxes...I think they are sturdy enough to be safely mailed in padded envelopes. And I think most usps mail has an automatic $50 of insurance...so that should help . l

I send my TN journals in a padded envelope, no complaints :D

Thank you for answering questions, Cori! 💙 I had an idea for the floppy piece on your glue bottle. How about keeping a little rubber band on the bottle and secure the plastic bit to the bottle when it is in use? 🌻

So grateful I recently discovered you! I've been binge watching your videos and enjoying your beautiful style and designs. I've learned so much from you already. Thank you for taking the time to share your talent. Could you share with us how or where we can join a swap?

Did you mean to say Pacific North Wet? LOL I live there too! So true!

I use padded envelopes often to send journals and never have problems.

I just found you with your flip through of your scrap book ideas and mostly through your building your ideas. I'm so excited to see things I haven't before and I love how you explain everything, your pleasant voice and to the point teaching. Great videos. Would you let me know where to buy some of the grommets that are larger around? I can only find tiny ones. Thanks 😊

You can cut the cap off and stick a pin through the top of the cap and use it to close your glue. Have you seen the pin dangles? They are cute and help to not. Lose the cap❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
