Thank you for spelling awl. I asked for one and I am from Louisiana. The clerk said "for the car". Not all or oil but awl. Some people think I have an accent. Love your videos.
So lovely that you made this easy tutorial for the newbie’s. Love the dictionary and napkin on the cover. No I am not from Barneveld😂I live in the south so in Brabant Oirschot. Barneveld isn’t very far away from there..I know Tamar from Barneveld but I don’t think you know her. She is scrapping with Thamar. Have a nice Pinksterweekend together with Tim. 😘Maia
This was a fun video! It was great that you went to different places in your house to find materials for your journal!! I enjoyed this video very much!!
Great advice! My craft supplies are overwhelming because I have saved way too much and once it’s here, it’s hard to part with. More, is not better! Thx for this video.
wow, you covered a lot of great ideas to use in a junk journal. I love the extra tips you gave as well. I'm not a new JJ person, but still I got a few new ideas from this video. Thank you. XOXOJANE
Wow Thank you......I am a Newbe and have been having trouble with sewing my Journals.....now I know why.....have it at a angle not flat.....Thank you Thank you ♥♥

Blessings to you, Tim, Daisy and Jackson as always from Cape Town. Diana 😀🤗🦊🦊
Great video. We all need to go back to basic once a year. My granddaughter is starting to do some crafting. One evening I gave her a big bag full of all kinds of papers , ephemera etc. she came back and I cleaned from behind my bed in the corner. I had tubs of all sizes full of different crafting materials. I was overwhelmed. Where did it come from. I gave her a new we r memory keeper score board, Martha Stewart scoreboard. Small electric Gemini I hardly used. I have the bigger Gemini. I have the big Sizzix machine and two smaller ones I will keep myself. Gave her my first Cuttlebug I bought. More tons of paper , she had to get a cart to take this stuff to her car. I still have to clean under my bed, walk in closet, coat closet loaded with stuff. I want to cry. I just don’t want all these supplies anymore. I am 77 yrs old. Just want a few things. I have a brand new machine I never used I forget what’s called foiling machine. It’s electric. Bought on HSN shopping years ago. Why did I ever buy it. I am so happy she took all this stuff so far because no one else in the family want nothing to do with crafting. I still got tons of stuff to clean and give her. Sad thing is I still buy Tim Holtz, stamperia, couple others. Just a little that is. I can’t wait till most of my stuff is gone. I can breathe. But I wished I had all these supplies when I was younger. I live in a apartment. Have no craft room. I craft in my living room. I don’t craft like I used too. Watch craft videos all day and night. Then to tired to craft. Loved and enjoyed watching your video.
Lovely. It is nice to go back to the basics sometimes. This was a clear easy to follow tutorial. The advice, about not saving ALL of your trash, would have been nice about 5 years ago! 😂 TFS❤
I would say: back to the roots! Thank you for doing this. I've made many things in my life, painting, sewing, beading, card design ... and now I'm a bit obsessed with junkjournaling. I know I can use all my stuff for it and don't need to buy much, but some newbies don't know and think they need all stuff. So it's good that you tell them "use what you have" and that's enough for a start. You always do a very good job, you are honest, a positive person with a sence of humor and I love all your videos. It's not always my style but it doesn't matter, cos everyone has or develops their own, but you inspire me so much and I'm very grateful for this. Very warm regards Tanja
I enjoyed this very much! I’ve made several junk journals and I have a lot of tools and stuff. That’s great but I have found lately that it can be overwhelming and stifles creativity. I’m glad you’re doing a back to basics video. Do more!
I was looking for ways to upcycle all the "pretty paper" junk I have laying around, fell upon junk journal tutorials, currently bingewatching everything and discovered your channel. Your explanation is easy to understand and your additional commentary made me laugh. Subscribed. 😀
Yes I totally agree that you should be in the book of records. 😂 You are a treasure. Great information today and a fantastic project. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
An upholstery needle works well. They’re usually metal and have a large eye. You can get them at any store that has a sewing section and they are inexpensive. My first journal was very “junky” because I didn’t have many supplies. Recycled many cereal boxes and lots of fabric from my sewing stash. Even old sewing patterns and magazine pages.
Excellent 😊 tutorial. Good reminder for me concerning the stuff around the house. I was once in the trash trap. I have a box that is my limit now. Once it’s full I cannot save anymore items. TFS!
A very good tutorial margreth, it's great finding things around the home, drawer liners love them, some are so pretty and makes your journal smell lovely 🥰😘
I really enjoyed the video 😉thank you for taking the time explaining the basics of junk journaling, it was very helpful for those of us who are beginners… love your sense of humor… ❤looking forward for part 2 …blessings 💕
I love your back to basics videos! I'm still insecure about creating journals - started one months ago and still is not finished! thank you and hope you continue this series!
altijd weer even fijn om gewone materialen te gebruiken en weer de beginselen van het junkjournalen te zien en eventueel om weer mee te doen! dank je wel weer Margreth!🤗😘😊
I'm glad you started from the beginning. I have just bought a container of 4 colors of ink. The Distress ink. It has Hickory Smoke, Vintage photo, Ground Expresso, and Black soot. The thing is I didn't have enough money to buy the applicator and tried using those triangular makeup sponges which use up a lot of ink and go dry quickly. Also if I was to keep the cover open and use the lightest color for instance, the other 3 pads are open to air and I believe they may dry out before I use them. It's a weird design. 1 item was 30% off so I thought I'd be smart and buy the more expensive 4 color mix. What can I do to stop the ink from drying out? I have a LOT of not card stock thick 1 sided 12 x 12 scrapbook paper in really odd colors. A new company called Temu recently started up and things were 50 - 90% off and I bought a lot of plant and flower what I thought were sticker but they are just stuck to clear plastic. I did try them and the clear plastic mostly disappears unless I use too much glue stick. I looked around and have a lot useful stuff but no stamps to do all the stamping you do. I'm on a small pension and can't afford to go out and buy the real tools.
Dear Margreth, that is one junk journal. And, if I may offer my opinion, such projects are more appealing, even if one is not a newbie. Take a look at the likes. Don't get me wrong, I like all the videos but it feels more familiar to one who doesn't have all the tools or supplies. Thanks
How about telling us how you store all this material? Sometimes I save a piece, store it somewhere and then forget about it! The other day I found some by chance in an aleatory box 😅
I have a number of books; however, some the old books i will refuse to use due to their value and information they contain, others i will be ve6 happy to sacrafice to a junk jurnal. I have a book written and signed by Robert E Lee. I am not going to destroy that book. I became interested in junk jurnaling when i saw a video on it and researched to find out what it was. I was into card making; so, to me, junk jurnalling does not equate to messy, but using junk and unwanted stuff.
So sad, went to get the whale tail punch from Vaessen online today and they have already sold out. Actually they had them when I had it in the basket but by the time I went to pay they had all gone.🤦♀️🤣
