The best part of Junk Journaling is watching great videos like the wonderful ones you do. The part I struggle with would be mastering my sewing machine, every once in awhile I give it another try, one day I will get the hang of it. You are so right about being surprised as to how much it takes to fill a journal. Love this journal. Thanks for sharing your talent.🇨🇦

@mrstdoodle7085 3 года назад

I enjoy making the tags, embellishments and pockets a little more than constructing the journal itself. But I so enjoy watching you create it all. Thank you for sharing your talents.

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Me too x

Tina this journal is gorgeous. The colors are beautiful. Thank you 🙂

@genamomma 3 года назад

I loved to watch you fill this gorgeous journal because I am a newbie at this and to realize how much ephemera I would need to make to finish the one I am working on is so helpful. Also appreciate all the tips that you give while doing so! Thanks, Tina!

@lynette7848 3 года назад

Love the colors in this journal! Looking forward to see what you will do with the cover! 🦋🌹

@coffeepaperscissors4408 3 года назад

I totally agree! Putting the pages together is so easy for me and I do still struggle with the decorating a bit but all of the tags and journal cards take me hours!!! I always say it’s because I need more things to chose from...more shopping! 😂 When I’m making all of my bits and pieces I ask myself “what would Tina do” so thank you for all of the help. 😊

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Oh thank you so much for your lovely compliment of thinking “what would Tina do” 🙃 . Yes the tags and “fillers” just take sooooo long, and you just need so many! X

@binkiewillis8203 3 года назад

You were talking about the parts of making a journal that we dread. I tend to over think everything creative so I’m trying to wing it more. Watching you really helps me work through the matchy matchy phase. Love watching your videos!!

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Oh thank you so much. Yes, overthinking is another problem isn’t it? I think when it’s not just coming together easily sometimes it’s best to just break away from it for a while and then come back to it later. I struggle with the matchy matchy also x

@CreatingwithJovi 3 года назад

It’s beautiful and I love all of the layers and textures 💚

@cindyn3383 3 года назад

@reneesanchez7696 3 года назад

I am working on my first altered book. I agree, it takes a lot of ephemera to decorate or fill tucks and pockets. Your video is encouraging. Thank you.

@ludmilaschicchi8278 3 года назад

Love the colors. Such beautiful ephemera

@aprilcarter1306 3 года назад

Loving your journal process, your so correct the more pockets & pages the more empherma needed. So thankful you had started the mass making it’s so easy to just grab whatever is needed & keep going cause it was a pain just to make one thing and I started to give up on making journals. The kites I loved making those also!! So happy to have found your channel!!’ Thanks for sharing !! 🤗👏🏾

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Oh April, thank you so much, I really appreciate your support and encouragement always. I am thrilled that the mass making has really helped with cutting down the process slightly, I used to feel the same. It felt like a bit of a chore making so many things, so the mass making has definitely helped me too x

Lovely journal

@elainet5870 3 года назад

Lovely journal! I actually LOVE making all the ephemera to put inside my journals! What I like the least is binding my journals, as sometimes it goes so smoothly, but sometimes it causes me a problem! Ha!

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Yes binding is one of my least favourite things too x

@emmkaa2099 3 года назад

Tina, thank you for sharing that when you first started making JJs you felt overwhelmed and "still not done". I can't tell you how much I needed to hear that. I put my first JJ together a few months ago and it's still not full. I'm making stuff for it as well as two more JJs and that's what's been keeping me busy. I'm enjoying it all, don't get me wrong, but like I said, the first one just won't fill up! 🤔Plod on, I suppose. As always, I love spending time with you. Hugs all the way from the Southern California desert,MK ❤☀️🌵

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Oh they are really overwhelming aren’t they? They just take sooooooo much filling! Every now and then I still have the odd journal that I think gosh this journal is never going to end! Lol x

@DebbieZagarit 3 года назад

My biggest problem was over stuffing. Crocodile mouth was always a problem lol. Love the kite. Have a fab Sunday Tina xx

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Thank you, hey I love crocodile mouth journals x

@bettylongshore9594 3 года назад

GREAT video! I like making blank journals and allowing the owners to decorate as they'd like!!!!!! However, sometimes I decorate all over the place! It really just depends of the day and the mood!!!!! :-)

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Yes, definitely a good idea to go with whatever the mood is calling for x

@joiedefi 3 года назад

I love it all and especially that you stuck to a colour theme 👍🏻💜🌿

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Oh thank you so much Joie. I hope you are having a great weekend x

@anntaylor7781 3 года назад

This journal is beautiful 🙂 the part I dread the most is binding the journal, but I enjoy making the ephemera to put on it, although sometimes I get overwhelmed when I am making a journal. I have only made 1 journal so I am really new at this.

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Yes binding is definitely one of my least favourite things too x

@lalagamma4452 3 года назад

Tina soooooooo exquisite!! I struggle with most of the journal making process. But I'm still new to it. 😘🦋🤗🐝🥰🐞

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

They are quite overwhelming because there are so many things to do, places to fill etc. I’m still learning now x

@lalagamma4452 3 года назад

Tina you're an amazing teacher! 😘🐝🤗🐞🥰🦋

@hodgepodgecottage2674 3 года назад

Your journal is Soo lovely Tina! I enjoy listening to you chat~you have me chuckling at your commentary! We're definitely like minded gals! I personally like to make journals with tied in signatures so folks can add to the journal~an option if you don't like to sew them in. The critics might scoff at this but I have found there Are folks who like to just slip in a page they enjoy and make it their own. Typically the journals I create are larger and Irregular in size and even shape and require lots of fiddling and paper engineering to figure out the layout. Why I do this to myself, Lord only knows! Lol. After creating my own dyes, dying papers and fabrics, making everything by hand And repurposing odd items to add, I'm wondering When these labors of love might Actually be Finished! Tina, you're So right! You make All of these pieces to go in the journals, you have an entire Pile and...you need More! Lol! The Hobbit in us goes in search of More Bits and Bops~Stopping short of adding the kitchen sink! Sending Love and Blessings Across the Miles! 😊❤

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Oh thank you so much. I love the idea of your style of tied in signatures, and you are right lots of ladies like the option of being able to add extra pages etc. Yes, it definitely takes a HUGE amount of things to fill a journal and I so often underestimate just how much is needed. Everything but the kitchen sink, lol 🙃 x

@hodgepodgecottage2674 3 года назад

@@shabbydabbydoodah Such a Sweet reply Tina! Sending Love & Hugs Across the Miles! I haven't purchased any elastic, I used waxed thread, works fine! The pages do move ever so slightly, but Surprisingly, Very Minimally! Just enough give to slip in pages. If doing a 2 signature, I wrap around so there are 3 waxed threads Inside journal. I insert signatures on 1st and 3rd, leaving Center Thread Without any signature. This way you don't see empty wax thread on front or back of journal, but for ease of use, can probably leave one to far right open. There are elastic ties that you can get~already tied that go around boxes, etc. would probably work fine also, or of course traditional elastic. I Love Texture~will try binding with a fabric strip that has a little give to it and see if that works! Always a Pleasure Chatting with You!🥰 Have a Blessed Day! Lori

@ruthhickman1029 3 года назад

I really enjoy gathering the different papers and arranging them into signatures...the hardest part for me is where to put pockets, tucks and belly bands...I am making one now for a friend who loves to write, so I’m leaving most of the pages blank!

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Lol, I would struggle with leaving most pages blank x

@grahamfox931 3 года назад

Thank you so much for your fabulous tutorial, i love your journal and the way you have decorated it. It has given me some fabulous ideas to do with my own. Mine isn't half way done yet, still sticking down and making pockets, but now have some ideas to carry on. THANK YOU for the inspiration. Love and blessings from a very cold, wet, windy and miserable Cape Town.

Hi from Randfontein.

@KD-yy6on 3 года назад

Looking lovely Tina I find it hard like you say with filling all the pockets plus binding I find can be difficult depending on what cover I use tfs love from London x

@nancivessells1909 3 года назад

Love your journal. Great job...

@artzyyma 3 года назад

I have to say, I enjoy binding my journals. I can never figure out what to do with the pages, or how to really mix and match pages in my signatures, so they are all "plain" coffee or food dye pages, with a few corner tucks. I'm also not sure what exactly counts as embellishments, so I have made a few journaling cards, and that's about it. I'm still really new at this, even after watching a bunch of videos.

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

It takes a while, there are so many different things and you will find the bits you like making best. It sounds like you are doing great though x

@vickiedavis7309 3 года назад

@janetstubbington583 3 года назад

Tina, I love that little kite - did you do a tutorial of it? I'll have to check out Emily and her kite journal. I also really like the envelope pocket with the flowers bursting out of it - I'm going to use that. My 10 year old granddaughter loves journals and loves pockets but luckily she likes to fill them herself with her own little things; my challenge is to make the journal with no repeats on the pockets - every one has to be different. Pockets, pockets, pockets - my favourite part!

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Lol, yes making every pocket different is very tricky it will be a good challenge for yourself. I made the kite on during the 3in30 Alphabet Challenge, the week was K for kites, the video is in my 3in30 playlist x

@handmadebygardina794 3 года назад

I hate cutting everything out for a journal, and I love making the ephemera and decorating the journal. I love how your journal turned out, very beautiful

@roberternest9916 3 года назад

I love this. I am a newbie at journal making. I am doing it for my granddaughter. I want her to know what things were down the line. If we don’t document things they will be lost.

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

You are so right, things get forgotten and lost so quickly x

@sweetbaylaurelemporium4698 3 года назад

Love this Tina, so many colors and frillies. Hugs, Christina

@RecraftedByCarol 3 года назад

I always under estimate how much ephemera I need to make to fill them, I think I add far too many pockets 😂 love how chunky she is they’re my favourites xx

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Yes I always underestimate how much I need too x

@reneemolloy9465 3 года назад

Love watching and listening to you Tina. Are you going to be doing any master collage boards ? Thanks for providing a nice respite while being stuck at home. Thanks..

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Oh thank you so much 🙃🤗 . I might do some more master collage boards soon x

@craftportal-rachel3465 3 года назад

I dont love the binding of a journal. And I always doubt uf my cover represents my journal correctly. I love making tags and embellishments. And yes, the amount of stuff it takes to fill a journal is way more than I anticipate every time.

@brendaduguay456 3 года назад

I love your whole process of this journal. The worse part for me that makes me go...UGH, now I have to do the decorating of the cover. This is my biggest struggle.

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

I used to really dread the cover too, but I quite like doing covers now. I still mainly do the covers last or towards the end at least x

@sararichards518 3 года назад

I love altered books, that’s where I started papercrafting many years ago. This journal is super pretty and I wish it was mine. I have a question about using the distress ink. I’m not sure whether it’s your camera or my screen but the difference is sometimes negligible. Is it just the screen or is it just that you are very careful not to overload the pieces? Could you mass make kites one day? That’s so pretty. Thank you as always. Back from holidaying in beautiful Shropshire. Sigh.

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Yes, I love the altered books and have been challenged by Joie De Fi to join her and Barbara from 49Dragonflies in making one. My ink pad did need replacing, so it probably wasn’t making much id a difference if I’m honest. The worst part of going away is getting back again to all the washing, unpacking etc x

@brendagraw3729 3 года назад

HI, I have the same problem. At the end, filling, my mind is "finished" with the journal and not having enough to fill it is disappointing. I don't have many extras and the few I have never fit totally which leaves a slightly disappointed feeling.. and if I have too many they never seem to fit the next one- a vicious cycle!

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

I know what you mean. I always think I must fill pockets as I go so I don’t get into that cycle but I never do x

@tracyevans8838 3 года назад

I loved this journal Tina, loved all the green and its my favourite colour, I am trying to make pockets to start my journal but don't know how to start it, how did you colour the dollies green and how did you start your journal? I would be grateful for any help please x

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Oh thank you so much Tracy. I used food colouring for the green paper and doilies, mixed with a little coffee. You might enjoy this video for starting a junk journal ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dX_P4S9yFZo.html x

@tracyevans8838 3 года назад

I know this is a silly question, how to you colour your paper and dry it, I know you put food colouring in the water, not sure what to do next x

@lauravasquez169 3 года назад

Love the journal. Every page is different and it is goind to be really fat when you finish. Much love❤❤❤Now I can go back to sleep😴zzzzzzz

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Lol, sleep well x

@fabiennedevilliers7155 3 года назад

Very nice! Is your cover made with wallpaper? I have some wallpaper catalogue samples and I was thinking, It might be possible to make covers with it..... Hard to find videos on the theme....

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

Fantastic idea to use your wallpaper samples for the cover. No mine is made from an envelope and fabric x

@grahamfox931 3 года назад

Do you prime your pages with Gesso or any other medium before y ou start putting your emphemria on to it??? I did Gesso some pages before sticking down some pictures, and now find that the pages are inclined to be "tacky" to the touch, even though they have been drying out for days now. It also seems to stick when opening the book and you have to then pull them open. I wonder if you think that i don't need to prepare the papers???? - Blessings and love Diana Fox Cape Town

@shabbydabbydoodah 3 года назад

No didn’t prime or gesso the pages or anything, just coffee dyed x
