I like the collage idea. Bulk is always a problem. As you were pressing the folds and folding it out, I thought this would make a good flip-flop journal, using the front and the back. Looking forward to seeing the next part.

Oh my goodness, you’ve sent me down a rabbit hole 😂 Now I want to try that!!

Love watching your videos at any time of the day! Please bring on the ASMR sounds!! I could sleep peacefully to your aesthetic and beautiful pages & creations :)

@marykayswadener2991 4 ай бұрын

This looks really neat so far. Maybe use paint and tissue paper for the other side to minimize the bulk?

That’s a good idea!! Would be cool to have that contrast!

This was fun to watch and listen to. My strange thing is I love hearing the sound of the glue stick thunking on the table while gluing those large pieces! 🤗

I made my Jjj in this manner, using Amazon brown paper as my base. I then did a collage, like you over a good part of each side in collage papers, before I tackled each side per day. If I were using the paint sampler, I would def cover the writing side in collage, but would use some colours on each page as theme. Using napkins to decoupage is a good way to cover but keep it thin. If you want to cover something up, then only remove bottom layer, keep middle one. Or use tissue paper 😊

Ope lol 33:20 I just came to the comments to suggest you peel it up!! I do that all the time! It rarely comes out perfect or good all in one piece, but I like that effect and takes most of the bulk out!

Haha yes it worked out! Cool effect ☺️

Thanks for another great video! I think you’re having a bit of trouble with the folds because it’s hard to get a good fold when it’s wet. I think it looks great though, I like things wonky and imperfect in my journals 😊

I have a few paint sample cards, but they are the ones where the samples are little tabs stuck half on the page so I am thinking of putting the back grounds underneath and decorating the the little paint sample tabs to contrast with the background to make it really 3D. I usually have coffee while I work and have started putting it in a thermal mug so I don't forget about it

@megjournals 4 ай бұрын

Thermal mug is a good idea, I’ve had to reheat so many teas when I get absorbed in what I’m doing 😂

@MaddieMadMoo1 4 ай бұрын

@megjournals I am the same. Whether its work or art stuff I always end up with cold coffee or tea
