Scrap Buster Idea Book; making the cover, part 1. 

When I show someone my craft room this book is the star! It was wonderful to follow along and make this and it truly amazes everyone who sees it. Thank you so much Cori!

Cori, I too want to thank you for sharing your work with us. Your teaching skills are immaculate. I made this sample book about a year ago and it remains my favorite. I want to start a new one this week. Again your imagination and talent is amazing!

Thank you so much for this great tuition Cori! You are a wonderful teacher, so easy to understand and to follow. Thank you again for your generosity.

I totally agree with Amelia. I love the tips, teaching, and how organized you are in teaching? Thank you so much.❤️

Cori, I cannot express in words how much you have been such a huge inspiration for my journey towards my dream happening. You are absolutely the easiest JJ artist I’ve connected with in 3 years. Thank you, seems trite, but all I can think of currently.

I keep my dull blades and use them to cut cardboard and chipboard. They are great for that. Thank you for sharing. Just love your videos.

Hi Cori, still creating more ARTISTICALLY TALLENTED INSPIRATIONAL ITEMS than I could have EVER imagined on a RU-vid channel. I had 3 smallish reference journals created 1 year ago. These were absolutely busting at the seams. So, I created one using a post office flat rate box. In other words great size!! I've created more today, I cannot fit it all in my current reference journal as I transfered the 3 small reference journals in to the one!!. Therefore, got another flare rate USPO flat rate box and began a very special, "increadably- artisticly- tallented & inspired- Cori reference journal🍃🌷🍃 I can not hardly believe that I found you while browsing for some new items for my soon to be - "FROM HOBBY TO SMALL BUISNESS" I cannot express my feelings currently, Cori, in order to thank you, for turning on your camera and GIFTING me (as I'm 💯% certain -SO MANY other "Me's") with such amazing inspirational tutorials FREE!! Thank you seams so trite however, I sincerely appreciate you. And I can not think of any other way to thank you - except thankyou. Your new subby. Have a wonderful evening. 🍃🌷🍃 I can hardly wait to complete " Cori's Reference journal" and hopefully, find a way to send you a photograph of her.

I'm a retired teacher of 27 years, so I can imagine that keeps you busy. I ordered a mitre corner and Gorilla glue sticks. Thank you for sharing those thoughts and the process you go through. You're very thorough and I appreciate it! Joyce

Wow! Thank YOU so much. That was amazing! So, so helpful.

Absolutely love your videos! I watch in the morning before work, and during breaks. You inspire me to create my own idea book. Love the cover of this book.

“I’m sure something tragic is happening” 😂🤣😂 At my house it sounds like there’s an intruder, but it’s usually a squirrel. 😊TFS! 💙

I just adore the lace closure! This little journal is the sweetest. And Gayle would love all that Timmy!

The dog barking sounds like home to me. I have an Australian Cattle Dog who is also very protective. On the upside I know when the mail is delivered... :) Thank you for this series I plan to follow it going forward to add things to my idea book.

I am late to the party but this looks like an amazing project!! Can't wait to give it a try!! Thanks for sharing your process with us!! Always, Leslie

Thank you so much. I LOVE your work

Hi Cori! New to the Junk Journaling world, I really appreciate you're sharing the ideas book and how to make it!! Your teaching style is awesome - so understandable. Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us ;)

Wow!!! Thank you for this !!!

Can’t wait to get started on this! Thank you so very much!

Love watching you talk through your why and why not for each pc. Glad I’m not the only one that has to audition each pc

Good idea on the old blades

Thank you for sharing 🙂🥰

Great instructions…thanks for sharing

Loving it all glad you are back

I hope I’m the first one to see the journal in your shop so I can buy it

Wow fantastic video (Just a bit low on my screen though, not a criticism just advice) thank you for showing us this step by step. Love the patchwork covers. Looking forward to the next video. Dogs barking in the background is real life, got to love them🐶🐶. Thank you.

Thank you for all the tips Cori! I love, love your videos, you’re very thorough in how you explain! Thank You. That brown linen looks amazing as the spine. Thanks for taking your time on Fathers Day to do these 2 videos. You’re fabulous 😎 ! Thank You 🙏🏻

RU-vid recommended this video to me and thought well, it looks like something I have already watched but I wwaaaasssss SO WRONG! This is fantastic and I have been hoarding some Tim Holtz paper wondering what am I going to make? Well sister, you have helped me with my endeavor! Thank you for taking the time to show us your process, this is a great and I mean a great make! There is many ways to make this a little piece of your own. (Sorry for all the explanation marks but I am excited and super stoked to try this out)

I am always surprised that every video I learn so much! Thank you!♥️

I’m looking forward to trying this. You give so much good information in your videos….I learn so much. Thank you, Cori!

Thanks for sharing your techniques on the cover.

Love your teaching style! Thank you for sharing your methods, it's very helpful

Just love all your videos each of them has so much information

Thank you for adding the description in the title. You are the best! I can’t wait to get started 🥰

Great ideas thank you!

Finally started my own journal. Instructions are great!!! Thank you so much. So my covers are completed and ready for the next step...getting ready to move on. I am so excited!!

Thank you seems very inadequate. Your instructions, demonstrations, tips and explanations are so easy to understand...I've learnt so much. So until I can think of a better word...thank you X🇦🇺

Thanks so much for the detailed instructions for your fabulous idea book. I am taking notes and getting ready to do one for myself. Love your channel. Dena

I love your " inspirational book"!!!. I am going to make one after I get back from a family trip. I am hoping that you will continue to make more of these! You make a great teacher....you probably hear that a lot, if not, you should! Thank you so much, Cori.

Love the patchwork type cover! I never use corrugated card, Amazon chipboard envelopes are my go to. I love tyvek for covers and spines! What a cute mitre tool! Lol I got a glue eraser because I'm constantly getting glue where I don't want it. Tfs 💖

Excited about this Cori! Gotta try and fit it in my schedule now! LOL!

Cori, I am so glad you mentioned Heat N Bond. I thought I was the only person that used it in my paper crafting. I use it when making anything with fabric but I have started using it when I’m mass making journaling cards and larger tags. It is way cheaper that some of the better glues we use and I get a much nicer, flatter piece.

Hello, I love your style. I found you through Eve with Scrapbooking with me. Cant wait to follow along with you also. Hugs from Idaho!!

Ty for sharing!!!

You are so good at explaining. I've done this for a few years but I have picked up quite a few great ideas from you. I bought, mid-video, the corner miter tool. Lol. Thanks. Keep on making videos!

Love, love, love this. I'm working along with you but will have to replay as I've missed some steps 🤔 Thank you so much for teaching us🥰

Awesome tutorial - you are so good at explaining the process, really appreciate it! Now I just have to start making the cover of the "Scrap Buster Idea Book" - I'm looking forward to it. Hugs from Helen

I just made my cover today. 😊 Thanks for your lovely tutorial! Next step ironing my muslin for the hinges…

Watching again very informational Thank you so much for sharing 💕🙏🏻🌹 FYI if you have a dull blade cut up some aluminum foil it will sharpen a time or two

Just starting to go through these videos and I have to say this is one of the best I’ve seen for instructions and quality for what I like. Can’t wait to create my first book. So many ideas! And I love that custom wooden box holding your glue stick, glue bottle etc. on the side, you don’t happen to have a video that shows that close up do you? I would love to have my son-in-law try to make one for me, unless it was something you purchased. It’s just perfect and I love organization. That’s why I like your videos as well, some are just chaotic and stuff is everywhere where yours are not. Thank you for the instructions!

This is so cool! I found the video where you did a flip through the finished journal. I may have to start one of these.

Mucho gracias, shay shay, Thank you for these tutorials. I binged on all of them. Took notes. Replayed. Now starting over.... Summer School Student In Detention .... can’t get out until I get all of these done. Amazon and UPS are supposed to be sending you a thank you note!!! My 2 month old great granddaughter is named Magnolia Chapel (Chapel HillNC where her Mom lived) but we call her Maggie Dahlin... heavy with a Sweet Magnolia accent!

Great video! Thank you. Love the mitering tool. I am so happy to know about it as I always have trouble with my corners. Eyeballing it just doesn’t work for me! ❤️

A new assignment, yay!! 😘

This is so awesome XXX I just relized who you are Cory, sorry my friend I am asleep at the wheel most days ! LOL

❤❤❤❤❤

Love your videos and techniques and I have watched a lot of scrapbooking videos. You keep it easy to understand for beginners and advanced as well. Have you done a video where you show the journals that you have made that sometimes shows in the upper part of the screen. Would love to see some of your ideas. I know they are wonderful.

Hi, I am new here. Love how you differentiate even outside of the classroom (9:40). You have many videos and I have already watched a few. Do you have one where you show how you make the surface of your paper ephemera shiny, almost plastic looking? Enjoy summer! Nvm, I found it. It's nuvo crystal glaze. Thanks!

Do you use paper from the same collection or are they really scapes for anywhere? They all go together so well...or is it that you just buy the same color all the time...I love the color some journals are too bright for me. Love this playlist and I have watched it more than once and I am sure I will watch it again...I don't think I have made it to the end yet...THANK YOU for sharing

thanks for sharing, I'm just confused as to why the white will show on the outside of the spine...it is a problem for me to actually envision a pattern or process that I cannot reason through...so I'm hoping can figure this out...excited to try though...thanks again.

So helpful! I’m very new to this. I’ve been a card-maker and scrapbooked for years but this is so neat! I’ve watched hundreds of RU-vid videos. Where can you get the tyvek???

Hello Cori, can you please share where you found the green kraft paper?

colorway arts exists. they have the miter guide.

Cori, when you say 16 pages is that 16 actual sheets or is that 8 and you are counting back and front as two different pages?

Cori, what is the difference between a button spot and a cluster? Thank you.

How do you sew in the signatures on the sewing machine.?

Hello Cori, I wanted to let you know that I love watching your videos. There is so much to pull from. I was wondering how would I buy one of your scrap Buster journals? I can’t find your Etsy store or any link

can you pls explain what art glitter glue actually is...I can't find it....I see the small bottles and nozzle would be great....

Bonjour, je viens de m'abonner à votre chaine j'adore ce que vous faite. cette couverture est trop belle, dommage que je ne comprenne pas car je ne parle pas votre langue. Vous pouvez me donner les dimensions de la couverture et le papier noir c'est du papier ordinaire ? Merci et bonne journée

While you were scoring the spine you used a term I do not know. I don't even know how to spell it. (sorry) after 42 :36 you said "notice I did not miter these" Can you please help me

This is not a criticism so much as a suggestion. When you talk and are showing us items you move the items around a lot. You shake them and flip them and they are constantly in motion. Could you consider holding them still a bit more. I find it difficult to watch and also somewhat unsettling. Don’t know if this is of any help to you. Perhaps there are other viewers that feel the same. I like your content very much and you are incredibly talented.

Cori, your work is lovely, and I love what you do, but OMG, you talk a lot, girl! You mentioned the outer covers at 6-1/4" 5 times in 6 minutes (lol). You have such nice ideas. And you didn't use Heat N Bond, but you certainly talked about it long enough, how to use it, what do to, etc. You didn't use it, so why talk about it for so long...don't get your feelers hurt, I'm hopefully just offering tips when you film, I don't mean to be offensive or anything, so please don't take it that way. I love watching your ideas.

Cori, you were out of range of the camera...

No offense, but WAY to much over explaining…perhaps your audience is beginner’s though…
