I'm still very much 'a beginner' - having only made 4 journals to date - 3 of which I am still working on/in. And I have to say, I am astounded at how far I have come. My first completed journal was so 'simple' in comparison to what I am doing now - especially in terms of layering and texture. Part of the 'progress' is because I have been slowly building up my equipment and supplies (i.e. stencils, handmade stamps, and a variety of inks etc.). Another factor is that I have gained knowledge just from making many mistakes! But a great deal of the overall improvement comes from the fact that I have learnt soooo much from watching you and Luise - especially when it comes to techniques, and saying 'it's ok - it's my Junk Journal and there are no rules'. 'Thank you' isn't really enough, but it is sincere. 💚💚💚

@theresapalmer7892 Жыл бұрын

I am making my first junk journal. I used a stuffing mix box and made my signature pages with some papers that I think were not heavy enough. I also used some Christmas cards. I sewed them into the stuffing box cover. I have really learned a lot by just trying things. This was all because of you and Luise's Dephemerember that I found by accident and started watching. I make a big mess but its so fun.

Hey newbie here, I started watching you and a few others about 9months ago and 4months I began my own junk journal journey. I started with a cereal box, some wool, napkins I found in the pound shop and an old pair of jeans 👖 😂 and I found my passion for sure, my kitchen now looks like a paper factory/charity shop/nursery school! Im obsessed and I craft every single day even if it’s only an hour. Since that first floppy woolly flappy attempt I’m now on to my 4th journal 📓. I have next to no equipment but I manage and im slowly building my stash by hitting the charity shops and second hand sales! Can’t thank you all enough for putting out these videos that inspired me into this new wonder that is helping me heal everyday by focussing my energy into things that warm my heart and inspire my thoughts ❤❤❤

I made my 1st journal Nov ‘22 which consisted of family history & inspiration to help the recipient to journal them self. It was 5 signatures & turned into a very chunky monkey. I am now trying to make 2 journals out of photo books that have very large pockets. I wanted to put pockets on to outside of each of the photo pocketed but am having a problem adhering them so they stay fixed. I guess I could sew them on…. Anyway once started the dam has broken & I am on my creative journey.

Barbara: beautiful start on creating a journal. The cover does say: open me to find out about my love story. I enjoy watching you put a journal together. However, if I could have warned you, I would have said, that yellow is probably going to bleed through the white ground color of the fabric. I, too, learned the hard way many years ago. Lesson learned. Carol from California

Oh no!!! 34 minutes and 45 seconds is over already!! It can’t be true!! Lol. I’m enjoying this challenge you’re doing with Sharika. I loved these packages she sent you so much, I signed up for the large package subscription. I’m so excited! Watching this and thinking back to my first couple of Journals… oh my! My first two Journals were made for friends. What was I thinking. Lol. The first Journal was a mess. I made 3 covers. I just set aside my 1st two attempts. Didn’t throw them away because they might be useful on another day. I learned so much on that Journal. My second one was just as big a challenge on the cover as the first. My friends that received these absolutely loved them! Of course I didn’t point out things that went wrong! Lol. The 3rd one was for me. I didn’t have to be too picky about the cover. Made a few mistakes. Fixed the things I couldn’t live with and embraced the other errors that gave me joy. The journal that’s made from true junk is the one that made me happiest. ♥️♥️♥️ Can’t wait to see more of this series.

I am working with Finnabair products ate the moment & I'm taking lessons from Anna Dabrowska - both working with cluster art, using metal & paper & of course the items from moulds etc. This is the second time I'm watching this video & I will try to "copy" yours (in my own way I mean) - I do have beautiful postcards & tea colored paper I made a while ago - what I don't have are these wonderful handwritten vintage letters. They are amazing. Watching your videos, listening to you & learning from Anna that it's okey to "f up"/make mistakes, I'll at least try start to make what you have done in this video. Thank you so much for your wonderful junk journaling, I enjoy watching you making your piece of art, you're very talented.

Second one I made my own cover from a pasta box (I think it was...) and it holds an every day challenges I took part in. It took some time before I had the courage to make a junk journal with a new spine, but after that it just became a junk journal explosion! :D First soft cover was the Dephemerember/junk journal January journal and now I'm hooked on that too, thanks to you. :)

I made my first journal in 2020. It had one signature, and I made it in November, for use in December. Of course I make better journals now, but I treasure the first one, I think because I just went ahead and dared to try something different. Also, I used it, so it has become very personal. A lot of times I give away or sell my journals, so even though I enjoy them, they aren't as deeply meaningful. Anyway, I love this cover you made, and I'm excited to see what else you end up doing with the yummy stuff Shariqa has sent you! Thanks for another great video!
