Master Junk Journal Signatures with a Formula 

I love the sandpaper trick!

I am so impressed that you have notebooks with "recipes" for your journals. That never occurred to me! But, I mostly fly by the seat of my pants. Ha! But, these folding patterns, and your formula, while I do them, having actual plans for them is brilliant. This was a really helpful video, even for seasoned journal makers. Thanks so much, Kathleen!

Thank you so much for this valuable video! It was great to see your formula for assembling signatures. Also, you have beautiful handwriting.

Great idea to have a signature format enjoyed watching you pick your papers ❤

This is just the video I needed today🌻 I don’t know why mixing in paper sizes is such a challenge for me. Everything is symmetrical, folded exactly in half, edges trimmed neatly. Your signatures are so much more dynamic ❤️

I have just started junk journals, a little late to the party, and your video has been so helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!

I love this formula idea. I'm going to try it out. Thank you.

I loved watching your process, thanks!

That was so informative Kathleen…watching your thought process!!!🥰👌🏻👌🏻

New subbie here. I’ve been making junk journals for years and I’m finding everything you do here (I’ve been binging all week) so inspiring and fresh. I love the way you break it down and make it all so clear. I took a break from making journals for a few months and I just assembled a new journal that I plan to decorate with all of your fun ideas. Thank you for your amazing inspiration.😍🌻👍

I love that you have a formula for your signatures Kathleen! Very well explained!🥰

I really needed this, which is overlooked or assumed by more advanced. THANK YOU!

Amazing. Youve made me understand the signatures ❤

love this formula idea...thanks for sharing.

Kathleen, it was fascinating to watch you put the pages together for the signatures. I had to laugh when I saw your on-screen "...don't mind my muttering." I do that! Somehow it helps me get things clear in my mind. This journal is working out to be so pretty. I don't remember if you intended it to be a fall journal or not, but the soft blues and the oranges look very much like autumn to me. I'm loving it. Thanks for all the tips and tricks that you shared. I truly appreciate your teaching; it is very helpful. You probably notice I've picked up ideas that I learned from you, such as stenciling with a scroll stencil. It adds such a pretty accent. I'm looking forward to Monday to find out what the surprise is in the paper tied with string.

So many creative tips and tricks included in this video! It was really fun to watch you choose and then mix and match each piece. Your notebook filled with ideas and measurements was a huge treat! AND your penmanship is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!❤️🤗

Thanks for sharing, another great informative video... ☺️

I found this to be fascinating! I love the way you showed the strategy. I love the term "sparkle papers". Thanks so much!

Thank you for sharing this. It is so helpful!

🎉👅🎉So beautiful creative tips, thank you very much for sharing this lovely video 🧚‍♂️🧜🧚‍♀️🧜‍♀️

love your formula and did I take a screenshot well of course I did!

TFS, love this! New subbie from Northern Alberta, Canada.

I love watching your assembly of signatures, Kathleen. Having a formula/system, even if it’s just a guide, makes my brain very happy! 😘 After watching you for a long time, I knew that you would have a process for doing this. Thank you for sharing it with us! 🥰 You have another awesome journal on the way! 😀💞

Breakfast is never the same without a Kathleen Mower video - enjoyed this one. Looking forward to your DJJ DT project on Monday 🤩

Wow. Really appreciate your method of organizing signatures! Lovely pieces. Thanks so much for teaching us novices.

I love your methodology, concrete, sequential, but also flexible.💜🐞

I just want to thank you so much for this! It is nice to have a guide to go by, it makes it all come together so nicely! Thank you for taking time to teach!

Thanks Kathleen, that was really great! Following your formula should make putting a signature together much more easier. Thanks again for covering these essentials.😊

Kathleen: good tutorial. Since crafters are so creative having a plan is good, but wonderful surprises usually happen along the way. And that’s what it is all about. Fun watching you do your crafting. Thanks, Carol from California

Another saved video. My memory stinks so I have to save videos for future reference. 😍❤️

I hope you will show how you make your tassels

Hi Kathleen! What is your rule of thumb for cutting your signatures to fit in your journal?

Hi Kathleen! I also have some reader digests books that I could use for a journal. What size did you make your signatures for that particular journal series? My general question is do you generally leave a 1/2” shorter signature pages than journal cover? Does my question make sense? Thank you
