Making Grungy Notepads out of cash register receipts | Junk Journal ephemera | Bonny And Clive 

Thank you so much! I love making junk journals with just recycled materials. The challenge is so much more fun than store bought items lol. Hahaha yeh, I didn't realise only us Aussies call cash register receipts 'shopping dockets' when I did the video, until everyone on FB was commenting, so I had to change the video title lol. Sadly, I already have another pile of them built up that I need to use. I feel like they breed overnight! lol. 😂💚

Aww thanks Debbie! My gosh I had so many of those cash register receipts lol. I don't know why, but it makes me feel good to put them to use lol 😄💚

Hehe thanks Pam! Actually I was just told you don't call them "shopping dockets" over there, so updated the title to "cash register receipts" lol. Aussie lingo strikes again haha. Yeh we get so many of those pesky little receipts, might aswell put them to good use lol. 😄💚

Hi Dale! Since this video, can you believe I have collected another little box of cash register receipts ready to coffee dye? lol. They build up so fast! 😀💚🦋

Thank you! I really love finding a use for those cash register receipts! I already have another pile built up since that video lol. 😄💚

Thank you Barbara! We get so many of these so we may aswell put them to good use lol. They're perfect for junk journals! 🙂💚

Thanks Judith! Yeh, they are small and pesky and so many get thrown out, but they are pretty handy for junk journals lol. Actually I just realised the rest of the world doesn't call them "shopping dockets" so updated the title to "cash register receipts" lol. 😄💚

Thank you so much Jennifer! I'm so happy that you will put those cash register receipts to good use now. Hahaha my husband never throws them away either, especially when filling up at the petrol station. He always always leaves the receipt in the car which is ok with me; more junk journal fodder lol. 😄💚

Thanks Robin! We get so many cash register receipts, might aswell put the to good use lol 😄💚

Thank you Jean! So happy you will make some too. Those pesky little receipts actually do come in handy lol 😄💚

Thank you Phyllis! Hehe I am so glad you save and use these too! I have already collected another big pile of dockets since that video lol 😂💚

Thanks Leigh! Originally I wrote 'shopping dockets' in the video description and only us Aussies knew what a shopping docket was, so I had to change it to 'cash register receipts' lol. Hahaha that's my craft mat when it's clean lol. Finally I bought a new one but still I keep using the old messy one lol 😂💚

Thank you Betty! I already have another pile of cash register receipts I need to use up lol. P.S replied to you in Etsy! Just waiting for your reply 🙂💚💚

@@BonnyAndClive going over there right now Bonny

🥰

Thank you so much Tamra! I really love how they turned out aswell. Hehe thank you for letting me know you aren't the only one trapped sometimes because of husband's video calls lol. I probably should make sure I am showered and dressed so that it doesn't matter if I walk past the camera lol. Actually, if my craft room had a bathroom and fridge, I'd be more than happy to be trapped in there all day and night lol 😂💚

Thank you Hilda! Welcome to my channel! I'm a recycle only crafter so I don't purchase any new supplies other than paint, glue and ink. I collect day to day junk to use when making journals and now and then I am lucky enough to find some goodies in a second hand charity shop or recycle centre. I love the challenge of making something from nothing, and I hope I can give you some ideas. Hehe glad that you will also save your cash register receipts. They build up so fast! I already have another little box full since this video lol. 😂💚🦋

Thanks Barbara! We call them "cash register receipts" aswell, but more commonly used is "shopping dockets". Aussie lingo strikes again! lol. I updated the title so the rest of the world knows what I am talking about lol. Oh I am glad you use your receipts aswell! They are small but if you collect them up you end up with quite a bit of paper. So handy to use in junk journals. I save those with the advertisements on the back aswell but hadn't though of using them for snippet rolls (probably because I am always so obsessed with using up book pages lol). 😄💚

@@BonnyAndClive Haha! You are funny. Can't believe you changed the title. I hope I didn't offend you. It wasn't meant to. I love that journalers on RU-vid are from all over the world. It's the BEST part of it all. I love to listen to words other parts of world use, things I wouldn't know otherwise. I've never traveled much out of the US. But THIS experience, getting to know people from other countries, is so enriching!!! I feel like I'm travelling thru countries I'd never get to know about otherwise. You are surely a part of that. So thank you, for giving of yourself to people from everywhere. And,...to me! You are a special person, my friend. I'm glad to know you.

Aww thank you so much Barbara! Haha no you didn't offend at all. A few people already mentioned on FB that they didn't know what a shopping docket was so I thought I better update the title lol. We use so many abbreviations and slang in Australia that sometimes it becomes the norm and we forget that no one else knows what we are talking about lol. The funniest one ever was when I was talking to my friend in Idaho USA, and I kept saying "this arvo". Aussies tend to run words together, so it sounds like "thsarvo". He couldn't catch what I was saying on the phone, and I was trying to say it clearer and slower for him...."THIS ARVO", "THIS ARVO"..... Finally I get that not only didn't he understand "thsarvo", but he didn't know what "arvo" was. Oh! It's short for "afternoon" I tell him lol. Arvo is short for afternoon. So thsarvo is short for this afternoon hahaha. We still laugh about that word, plus many others LOL 😂😂

Oh cheeky you're just looking for an excuse to go op shopping! lol 😉😃💚💚

Thanks Jenny! I love finding uses for junk in our every day life. I think they're super cute too! 😄💚

Thanks so much Diane! Those receipts pile up so quickly. I coffee dyed some more and also used them just for stamping and collage. I don't know why I have this need that I must use them all up! lol 😂💚

Thanks Szilvia! I love finding a use for those pesky cash register receipts lol 😄💚

Thank you Tracie! I must look like some crazy shopaholic with all those receipts! 😂😂. Thanks so much for stopping by! 😊💚

Thank you so much for stopping by Lucy! Soglad you like them. I was so happy to be able to use up a whole bunch of those receipts. 😊💚

Thanks Shayshay! 😊💚

@@BonnyAndClive ur welcome bonny

🥰

Thanks Jovi! Those cash register receipts pile up pretty fast so I thought I may aswell put them to good use lol 😄💚

Me too! Lol. I resisted for the longest time but then my husband saw a butterfly set at Aldi one day and bought it for me. Took me a few years to actually use them but as a recycler, it can be hard to make junk look more appealing sometimes without things to 'pretty' them up lol. I still only have a few stamps which is why you'll see the same mushroom and butterfly stamps used over and over lol. I was lucky enough to be sent a few in happy mails too. And they come in handy to stamp those tiny scraps of paper that most people probably just throw away but I feel the need to use them lol 😄💚

Yes, we have had IGA for years here in NSW, but I think Woolworths has been slowly trying to buy them up one by one! I like their dockets because they don't have all the printing on the back so they are great for crafting lol 😄💚

Hahaha it never ends does it? Lol. I still have to film my handmade paper roll for you, then you won't ever throw out any type of paper ever again lol 😂😂💚💚

@@BonnyAndClive ooooh yes 😊 thanks Bonny 👍 I love all the different things you make by recycling

Kristina this roll is so ridiculous lol. I really do think I have mental issues lol 😂💚

@@BonnyAndClive hahaha nah you just saving the planet one little piece of scrappy paper at a time 👍😁

Can you tell my hubby that lol 😂

Thanks Alisha! We get so many of those pesky cash register receipts,; though I may aswell put them to good use lol. 😄💚

Ahhhh our Aussie lingo strikes again lol. We call them "cash register receipts" aswell, but more commonly used is "shopping docket" lol. I updated the title, thanks for pointing that out as I hadn't even thought of it lol. Yeh it's sunny pretty much all year round here in Sydney so I just drop my papers on the grass to dry. I can't put them in the oven because I really hate the smell of coffee lol. 😄💚

@@BonnyAndClive 🤣😂🤣 I LOVE coffee and the smell! 😃

Yuck yuck yuuuuuuuck lol. You should see when I coffee dye papers; I'm practically in a full Hazmat suit 😂😂

Hahahaha I love when you get your creative juices going lol. I can't believe you even lost your mojo a while back! You are always so full of ideas and you can easily see one version of something and go off and make your own very different version. Scraps from scrap box + postage stamps is sounding good! Can't wait! 😊🤓💚

Haha not a problem Darcy! Way too many channels out there to follow them all! I'm subbed to so many I can't watch them all; not enough hours in the day lol. I just try to share the love around as best I can. I can't resist a painty paper video though; I could sit and watch you do that all day! 😃💚💚

But I've watched and liked your videos. I'm sure I had been subscribed. I'm blaming yt glitches. ;) I have some catching up to do on your videos now. 😁

Oh I'm sure that has happened to me before aswell! Or sometimes it just turns off notifications and months later I wonder where that person has gone to; then when I pop over to their channel I see I've missed a zillion videos becauae notifications is now off for some strange reason lol. 😄💚

Exactly!

🥰

We have the same here too. Some receipts are thermal paper and fade quite fast. Actually, I have a whole roll of thermal paper from an old fax machine that I need to do something with lol. I'll see what I can come up with 😀💚🤎

Thank you so much! Those patterns are just stencils. I mentioned briefly at 28:07. I just put the stencil on the paper and brushed over it lightly with some Vintage Photo Ink. I really love the woodgrain and honeycomb stencils too 🙂💚

haha that's so cool! I've seen videos of people using their heat guns on the receipts to turn them black, but they go back to white once the receipt cools down. You must have found the secret ingredient in keeping them black - microwave! lol. The black ones would be great to doodle on with a white paint pen! 😄💚

They're heat sensitive, that's how they print, not ink. I truly wonder what these are made of. Now I know what to do if I'm looking for this effect!

🥰

Lol Sue I will make you a true junk journaller if it kills me! Lol. Don't make me send you a 100 shopping dockets 'cos you know I will!! Lol 😂😂💚💚

@@BonnyAndClive I love you tooo LOL LOL KIsses for my Clivey

😄😄💚💚🌻

Of course *you* would like that I was trapped in my room you meanie lol. Hey, you didn't tell me that you didn't call them "shopping dockets"! I had to update the title to "cash register receipts". Aussie lingo strikes again lol. 😂💚

hahaha oh my gosh Christina, if you saw my craft room floor you would know why lol. I have a little trail between boxes and piles of papers and fabric and who knows what else lol. I don't think it's wide enough for me to crawl though; my big bum would cause an avalanche LOL 😂💚

Oh! Just saw you have a channel aswell! Yay I love finding other Aussie channels. Just subbed and ready to watch "Thread Tuesday"! 😊💚

@@BonnyAndClive hahaha.

@@BonnyAndClive aww thanks.
