Always always a great artist you are Juni I’ve enjoyed you from the beginning❤

Thank you for saying that everyone should create what gives them joy. I'm about to start a junk journaling group for teen girls at work.

I love collecting thrift store and second hand books. It’s always nice to give them new life by turning them into a journal. There are so many different journals that you can make.

Never in my entire life have I met someone who cut out images from their books. But your explanation was totally plausible. In my family, we were taught that all things, but especially books, were sacred. I guess, that`s why so many people who were and are being raised that way, aren`t able to use books for their projects. I find your point of view fascinating. It will certainly occupy my mind for more than a minute. Thank you for that and this very inspiring tutorial!🤗

It was totally taboo when I was a child to tear a book or write in a book, unless it was to write my name in the front. So it feels really naughty especially when I’m prepping an altered book and tearing pages out. It’s part of the appeal to be honest!

What a perfect answer about cutting up books! If we could all respect each other in that way! 🫶🏼 Cinderella is my hero! Haha

❤I do njoy the cutting up of books 📕 I agree thank you for sharing your doing ❤

I also grew up in a house that had love and respect for books. So it was always difficult at first to cut into a book. But now that I'm retired, I figure I get more USE out of using them to build a junk journal. With internet, if I want to read something, I can read it digitally. I am planning on making my two older sisters, (both have Masters Degrees in English, no less), each a junk journal. So I hope they don't disown me for cutting up all these books to make their journals. Haha! We are all "old" now, so its time to dust off all those books, and put them into DAILY USE! I would not cut up a very special, or 1st Edition, etc. book. Or one that has sentimental value as it is. I won't cut up a Bible!!! But I will print versus and use that way. I even cut up my old HS Yearbook to put stuff into my journal. It will get much more use this NEW way. The more you cut up,...the easier it gets! If you can't bring yourself to cut up a book, buy a 2nd copy just to cut up. I love how FAST you can make your Tags & Journal Cards. Geez, it takes me way longer. Thank you for the great video. BTW,...Yes, we need to hold onto our JOY! ALWAYS! Austin, TX USA

Going thru books and magazines to find the journal card or tag within, is probably my favourite thing to do now in journal making lol.

Great little video and loved hearing all you had to say!

I'd like to see how you decorate the pages you use these on in a journal. Nice job on explaining things as you go.

Hello sweetie, I love it very much. I've got an older one and a Disney one. So I've got two and should be set. Well done cutting your first image. I am not kidding I've got so many journals screaming for my attention! Love the large journal cards. However, I do use my journals for writing - Bible journal- quotes- Proverbs 31 journal. Then all my shabby chic cottage theme and a prayer journal. 🤷‍♀️

I love that stitch that you use around the tags.

Oh, how fun! Love fairytale theme! Thanks for sharing your ideas, JD!

I am very impressed with your style of making journal I am going to return to this video and watch all plus if you made video of journal it self I just found you so thank you ❤Theola

Loved watching the process💖

OMG it hurt me when you cut the pages but they are adorable tags 👍🏻

This is a very clever way of making tags and journal cards! 🌸🌸🌸

What a marvelous idea. Thank you for sharing ♥️

Your advice was soo beautiful! Thank you!

They turned out so cute ! 💞😊

Thanks Juni for this nice travel back to childhood !!!

Love the video. Thanks for sharing your process.

Love this so much ❤❤

Love these!😊

I grew up in a book-loving household, so I find it very hard to dismantle and cut into a book. Interesting hearing your view on it - could change my mind!!

Your video is fantastic. Appreciate you sharing your process. TY

These turned out awesome! X

Omg, just bumped into your channel and I’m so happy I did. I’m making junk journals for my nieces and I thought this was a brilliant idea 💡. Thank you.

I was extra interested today in what you had to say about cutting up books. I picked up an absolutely beautiful book from my local op shop this morning with the intention of using it for journals. When I got home I sat and looked through it properly and was beginning to wonder if I could bring myself to cut it up. It’s an older book on the beauty of the British Isles and is full of gorgeous botanical drawings, drawings of birds and scenery etc on lovely aged paper with that vintage style text you don’t see in modern books anymore. Almost every page is a delight. Still not sure what I’ll do with it, but you’ve given me food for thought, thank you. Loved watching your process with these tags and cards too. Will look forward to seeing the journal. 💚

Such a cute idea

I watch you all the time and was totally did not realize that I had not subscribed! I enjoy you so much, thank you for the words of encouragement.

Love these.Juni :) You are right, we are all different and like different things x Happy NY xx

I enjoy books and like to preserve the precious. However, I find many books heading for the Landfill, or at yard and estate sales, Thrift Stores, etc. I feel like I’m giving them a second chance, by repurposing the pages and multiplying their use. Thank-you for this video❣️

Really like this

Great job! I love all thing Disney princess!!

FUN FUN FUN!!! Thanks

I want to do a golden book journal someday but I still am hooked on Daphne's diaries journals. I have really old children's books that I copy pictures. I like digital prints because you can always print more. ❤❤❤

i also am planning to do a Cinderella journal, have been wanting to for days.....and then i see you doing one...great minds think alike, but i will be photocopying from my own personal very old picture book that predates the disney characters, it's so beautiful as if painted by a french impressionist. i have a sewing problem, i have a sewing machine but i'm having a problem getting the tension and stitch size right. Do you have any pointers or videos on sewing the paper to card and making it look neat and close to the edge? Thanks

You have some great insights into what you do. I feel like, if the book is going to just be trashed, anyway, tearing it up and using it is recycling the book. It's being put to good use, as opposed to sitting in the landfill. If everyone created the same, we wouldn't celebrate the arts.

Hi. I was thinking you could even use the Cinderella paper title as a tuck spot along the bottom of a page or just glue it onto a page....idk. lol. I love the sewing. Im anxious for Joann fabrics to reopen their classes because this year i am determined to learn to sew. 👍🤞🤞🤞👍 Thank you for sharing your process with us. I buy two if i can find them....one for pictures, one for keeping in tact. Or if i want both sides of a page! Lol decisions, decisions. 🤪😂😂😂

So cute but I wouldn't dare cut up my Cinderella book it's from 1963 when I was 6 and it cost a whole 29 cents. Besides it's one of my nicknames. In case you haven't ever seen it check out the 1969 Rogers and Hammerstein Cinderella musical starring Leslie Anne Warren it's still my favorite version and as old as I am I still know every word to the song Impossible. So cute. I'll be back to watch more of your journal. Thank you.

That’s so unique and so beautiful at the same time only thing I thought you were going to make a journal card out of the pumpkin with the mice instead of cutting just Coach out But like I said it’s a beautiful tags and what a great idea

Hi JD! I was wondering, how did you decided/what are the measurements of your tags? Even in the recent "collage tags" videos you were using previous tags as templates. At the moment, I always create the tags to suit the image but there is no "standardization" here so it takes me a lot of precious time. I like the idea of cutting the tags way in advance even before knowing what you're going to use them for. So if you take one manilla folder, how many tags do you cut from it? do you use half of the folder to cut the large & long tags and the other half to cut the smaller ones? how do you maximize this? Your tags look big to me (they're more for journaling space then sole embellishment) but I tend to always work with A5 JJ so standardizing my tag size would be nice I think. Thanks for your advises!

❤❤❤😊

You could always scan the images that way you could use both sides 😊

What sizes you cut your tags?

Other than two corners nipped off, what's the difference between tags and journal cards?
