Craft with Me - Creating Collage Tags for Junk Journals 

A trick to lay your pieces flat is using a key card (old credit card) and it flattens out the glue under the pieces being collaged. Save smaller containers from the recycle bin and put small amounts of gel for collaging, keeps the large jar fresh. Also ink the edges of the focal point makes it pop.

Thank you for thinking of us newbies! I heard you say you will be speaking to the newbies! That meant a lot. I love your videos! You do such a beautiful job!

Would love to see how you store your book pages lol

Nothing more relaxed than listening to those birds!! Beautiful

Ok can’t sleep! Now I want to make these! 😂 it’ll have to wait til tomorrow though to go in the journals I’m making. You may have to motivate me 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I enjoy colleging but I never feel it’s this beautiful! #goals! #collagecollab

Such pretty tags and collage !

I couldnt find your next video on decorating the tags

I love your video, I’m new a tags and appreciate your help so much. You’re a treasure! I’m going to follow you. Thank you!

I know exactly what you’re talking about. I made a video, and I was shaking myself also.

I just saw this, and I’m so sorry to hear about your grandfather-in-law. I’ll be praying for peace and comfort for your family. Thanks for all of your videos-they’re good for the soul. And, I love learning from you-going to go make some tags now. God bless...

My husband and I lost a very dear friend. He was only 65. His wife also almost died. It has been very hard on her. Sorry for your loss. .

Sorry to hear about your family member passing... I would like to see how you store yr book pages.

Just lovely. So the matte gel medium acts like an adhesive and we don't need glue to stick the paper down?

Beautiful tags, Lynette. I loved the wide, almost square tag! I do those sometimes too. I like to ink around the edges of my focal point just a little, helps it to stand out a bit more. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'm saying a prayer for you all. Thank you so much for sharing 💗.

I would love someone to come and show me how to use my crocodile too. Where did you get your string? Is it called strain, or twine?

I’m so sorry to hear about your husband’s grandfather’s passing. Losing a loved one is never easy, but it makes it so much harder when you can’t be there with them. Prayers for your family! I did want to share one thing, since you were talking about reading the words in the text on your tags. I made a card for my Mom for Mother’s Day this year and I used a piece of scrapbook paper that had text on it. I didn’t pay any attention to the words on it as I was making it. Then after it was finished, I was looking at it and I saw that her middle name, which is the name she goes by, was in the text right under the sentiment! Then I got curious and looked over the rest of the text to see what might be in there, and I found HER FIRST NAME right beside the floral image I put on the card!! I was so surprised! That card was made for her in more ways than I even knew! Anyway, thank you so much for sharing with us! I love all of the tags you’ve been making recently and I can’t wait to make some myself!

I love these. I’m definitely inspired! Tfs 🤗

Hi and firstly, love the birds chirping. I feed at least 16 little birds everyday. Their chatter is so splendid. Love your Tags, because you only use about 4 designs on all and just by changing the color and the shapes, they look so like a matching set. very, very pretty. 🥰

Thanks for sharing this technique!

What are you using for glue.?

Thanks for Sharing Lenette

Those tape guns never work for me!

Oldie, but goodies

I have 10 little birds lol.

Where have you gotten your Edith Holden books? I would love to get some!

k is for karen sent me.

Very pritty 😍👏

Such a great video❤❤❤. Sorry to hear that you're loved one passed. I realize it's been a few years but unfortunately the loss always remains, at least it has for me since my Mom passed about 8 yrs ago. Thank God for junk journal crafting.

Learning some great tips from your videos!

I'm

No you're definitely not alone with the midge podge and gel medium. I guess I'm going to try my gel medium now, lol. Thanks for sharing great video. Keep on shining

Sorry for your loss. I pray for comfort from God for you, and all the family. Our hope is that we will see our loved ones in heaven one day. Beautiful tags!You inspire me to make some? The only thing is that I will have to use mod podge because that’s the only thing I have.

I am so sorry for ur loss. Thank you for sharing ur story so many r hurting. Love and prayers to all. Loved hearing your bird singing so peaceful. Thank u for sharing how u plan and make your tags all were very pretty. God Bless u and ur family!!

Hi! Came across your video today, love these tags! And the idea of inking across the wrinkles on the back looks awesome! Will have to try that! Thanks for sharing!

The tags are so pretty. So very sorry for your loss. We lost my cousin last week. She did not have COVID-19, but a brief illness. It was sad and because of the virus we were unable to have a funeral for her. I enjoyed your video, especially today.

Newbie to your channel! I’m so sorry for your loss..... Loving this tutorial.... it has gotten me inspired to start my paper crafting again! Thank you!!

New to this?! You’re kidding me?! You’ve done a great job. Your music sheets made me laugh. The only music I have found are pages from a Lutheran hymnal. I’ve ordered some from an Etsy shop, but I never got them..likely due to the virus and mail issues.

I stopped the video to make a comment to you because I learned about collaging on tags! It helped me to hear the different elements, and I especially respect the way some words show up, that it should be covered out of respect for everyone. Thank you for pointing that out. Now, back to your awesome tags! Joyce

Thank you for doing a tutorial for newbies. I am in my first tag swap and your video has helped me alot. While you were posting this back in May, I was actually in the hospital a day after surgery for cancer. My cousin died on the 11th of May, also from Covid. Being in the hospital I could not attend her funeral. So sad, just so awful. My most sincere condolences. I hope your Grandmother-in-law is doing as well as can be expected. As a widow myself I cannot stress enough how devastating this must be for her, especially at her age, poor lady. Again, I really enjoyed your video, I've subbed and am off to see how you decorated these tags in a later video.

Thanks for sharing these are good ideas. I looked at your list of things that you use and I actually made a list of some of them but I’m gonna look up on Amazon. Thanks for the list. Oh and I absolutely love the singing birds in the background.

Really cute! Just subscribed!

Thank you for sharing about your family and loved one. I can hear your sweet bird. I want to let you know that art is a great way to deal with all going on in your life. God bless you.

These are adorable. I like your style and your sweet voice. 🌿

Sorry to hear about your grandpa in law? Thank you for letting us know. I will have your family in my prayers.

I love your tags and the Simplicity of them!

So sorry for your loss. That is sad but yet a happy story. And your bird sounds so lovely.

Absolutely love your videos. You are so much fun and such a bust of happiness.

Just wanted to say how heart warming your grandpa story was. I’m so sorry for your loss but happy that your family has found peace

Love these tags!!! I want to make all of them.
