I am thoroughly enjoying your junk journal videos made with file folders etc. I am a list person,too,so appreciate your tips and style. Thank you for sharing in such a visual way with us how to go about setting these up.
Thank you for sharing! I love seeing these different uses, I think for a while I was intimidated by how MUCH could happen with a junk journal, and I kept feeling the need to have boring plain journals for bullet journaling that I would get tired of and never fill up. I love the idea of using the junk journals for just making lists, which is really all I want to do! And the extra texture and visual interest is so fun :)
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your journals and how you use them! I CRAVE visual and textural stuff. I LOVE how you used the pages from the spiral bound notebooks. It is simple and satisfying!😊
You have such natural talent. Love your videos and digitals that I have purchased from you. Love creating journals. It is so therapeutic to the soul! Keep 'em coming!
Thank you so much for this video! I have looked far and wide for better explanations as to what to use them for. I fell in love with the craft but didn't want to just be making things with no real necessary use. So again thanks you. I've found videos like this hard to find.
Thank you!! I've loved the look of JJ's since I first became aware of them, but since I don't keep a diary and don't art journal, I didn't see a purpose for one in my life...what, just a collection of pleasing images/textures/colors? But now I see a way to USE one in my life! Thank you again!🤗
Thank you. It's good to see the practical side. I work out of an A5 organiser binder which I have partially junk journalled. You've inspired me to make it more interesting. I loathe plain paper too.
Thank you for sharing how you use your journals. I have made several and have run out of ideas how to use them until you mentioned your different ways so thank you! I am also a visual person...I like the idea to just paper clip a piece of paper on top of a patterened paper. I need that visual interest for sure. Thanks for sharing! Melissa
I loved watching this video and seeing your journals in action. Also, this gives me an opportunity to say thank you for your free digital images you so very generously give us. I love your work Debbie- Anne. Chrissie
I am a new “crafter” if that is what you would call me. I make crazy, funny whimsical hats that are themed and post a pic on Facebook for snide comments that I live for. So this “crafty” side of me has gotten hooked on YT and long story short I’ve come across junk journals. This video gave me all the info I needed as to the why and how of the journal, to making me feel right at home. I looked over at some of the work I do and saw these scribbled notes, sideways, outside of the ruled lines, in the margins, etc., and now know there is someone or a group of folks who understand my thought process. Thanks! I am also a new subscriber to your channel!
WOW - much like Rachel, I get it now. I too am a visual person and have been trying to figure out how to put my creative thoughts and ideas on paper. I have been using a simple lined journal, but it is not working well. I am all about lists, but my lists are lost in my lined journal. THANK you so much for sharing - obviously, I too needed someone to show me. I also thank you for the freebies - LOVE THEM!
Thank you for sharing this......I am such a note taker and need to separate them all into categories and put them in journals. I think I will do that now that I see how wonderful yours are. XOXOXO
Great video; I'm always making mini albums and junk journals but they just sit on a shelf and look pretty! Now I'm inspired to actually start using some of them. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for sharing. It is always interesting to see how others are using junk journals. I love to keep inspiring images and materials around and your approach with your journals is a great way to do this. So much more fun than a blank notebook.
Thank you for sharing the uses of your junk journals! I really enjoyed watching your video. I, too, am a list person and find the line, white pages of a notebook quite boring and uninspiring. I've been thinking of a way to use inspiring images, quotes, etc., to spice up my notebooks/planners. Also, when I purchase planners, I'm kind of tired of looking at the same images for a whole year. Using a junk journal method, I can change it up with each page which makes the possibilities endless. Great video! I'm a fan!
This video was PERFECT! I am sooooo visual and now I finally understand the "junk journal planner!!!" Yes, I can be very dense sometimes! hahahaha! Thank you for sharing and THANK YOU for the shout out! xoxox Rachel
WOW, I love what you did with the MS Binder! I get what you say about enjoying the visual as opposed to the blank page "visual break"...I get that. I think I crave it and appreciate you because you seem to be able to create it so well. If I create my own visual break it distracts me, but when I see these creations I am inspired, ot distracted (from my writing).
Very cool and great idea. I love the idea of making lists of having a book for favorite love poems or quotes and a grateful journal. Not everything fits on a calendar.
While I completely love the creative process involved, I could never personally use this for a planner. It seems so unorganized to me and is actually painful to me to look at! I WOuld stick to this for other purposes in my own life. So interesting how different our minds work
I couldn't help but notice Muskoka Brewery in your beautiful blue/green junk journal. I'm originally from the Barrie area so it was nice to see. Just found your channel and subscribed.
Love these. I too am a list maker and currently all mine are just shoved in something that will hold them. I think now i need to make them a permanent home! I also love going back to see what they say from time to time. Funny thing, If i'm jotting down ideas for my stores, they tend to be the same from year to year,lol. Thanks again for all those freebis as well, very generous of you! ~ leslie
It's very cool to have them to look back on. I can't believe the things that come back full circle from an idea I may have jotted down a few years back! I'm glad you enjoy the freebies Leslie. Thank you!
I really enjoyed this! Thanks! Now maybe I can make me one and actually use it! And I'll use those freebies you give out so generously! *thanks so much for them too!*
Ohh, in so many ways! You could first start with the collection process, letting them gather images and words from magazines, books, catalogues, things that speak to them; then the construction of the journal itself could be therapeutic and it could be as basic as punching holes and using binder rings to hold it together. And finally of course journaling, doodling, coloring or art journaling on the pages, making mini vision boards on the pages, could be part of the exercises you give them. The possibilities for therapeutic use are endless! I hope I've given you a few ideas...
I did the same except I started the front of my journal with images and words of how I currently saw my life. Then I went to the last page and glued images and words of how I would like my life to be, even if I didn't think it was possible. I worked each end until it met in the middle. By then, my life was more like I wished it to be. Years later, It was amazing to see how far I had come and what parts of my dreams had come true.
Thanks Alexis, I'm glad you like them! Here's my tutorial playlist which I try to add to regularly: ru-vid.com/group/PL0k-pKbO2z1NNqh1uO_JlBjqR4JO00IIq
Hi! Where do You find all the lovely old pictures? Like the one with the man with an owl on his shoulder... and the picture behind thar picture... I loooove them!!!!
Good morning from Myrtle Beach SC. First, I loved your video as I am a visual person and also a list maker. Do you know of any online classes available? I'm interested in making ephemera and would love to know more. Thank you.
Thank you. You could start by browsing here on my channel (I've divided my videos into playlists) and RU-vid in general for the topics you're interested in. I'm sure you'll find tons. 🙂
Here's Yolliebean's version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fPRRfAf9KGc.html. There are others who make them, but this one was the first one I saw and adapted mine from there. :)
I think I understand what a junk Journal is now tell me if I'm right instead of boring a plane boring journal to write your stuff in you make something that has some excitement to it and then write your stuff in that am I correct
