I realize I’m very late for the show…but had to say thank you for sharing this. Here we are nearing two years into this pandemic with no sign of normalcy in the foreseeable future. Without having to stay home, I’m happy to say yesterday I made my first collage masterboard on the back of a 12x12 sheet of scrapbook paper. I’m no where near being done with it but I have to admit I could’ve torn and glued for days! This is a great idea using a simple booklet. I may not leave the house for weeks😊 Bless your overthinking. Stay well❤️

This a great twofold idea, both a relaxing activity and an ultimately useful item. It will be a “collage stock book” that can be used like you would use any other sheet of decorative paper. Thanks, as always, for the inspiration! 😊

I know this is an old video but had to say I enjoyed it. I love the idea of a masterboard book. When I do my masterboards, I glue down all my neutrals.. book pages, music etc in rectangles and then I add the odd shaped colors, florals, etc. Then I don't have to cover them or I can with just another book page.

Went back to find this as I watched you tear your first page out! Gonna start one. I love making collages, but they just sit there....if I have a book, I can play and then store easily. TFS

I’m loving the black! I am making small clusters as I watched you. Now I want to make bigger ones using black lace! Thanks Tina for the inspiration! Xx 💖

Great idea. Keep it on your desk and add those little bits that you think are too small to do anything with except bin it.

I love to hear your thoughts on current events while you paste. It seems that while we keep one part of our brain busy, the other becomes much more productive and less likely to get bogged down. I find these videos to be motivating. Thank you! And they keep me company while I work my way through my mess! LOL!

Great concept. I made a mini book with coffee dye paper and filled it with faux postage stamps; so stamps are ready to go. But this masterboard book of course is next level: always looking ahead crafting. The idea of having it organized in a book it genius. I tend to switch themes in my JJ often which means one all encompassing masterboard may not always work. Perhaps each page having its own theme to organize "post project clean up". Then one day the page will be full and ready to use. Of course there will be those eclectic pages with mixed themes. Pages that turn out awesome can become a digital file , the rest turned into tags, bands etc. Great idea! I thank you!

Using a book to make masterboards is such a great idea! Like you, I love the feel of glue books and so love looking through them.

This is a great idea! I like having the master boards in a book to tear out when needed.

Tina what a great idea!! The key is to not think very long about what you pick...just trust your instinct. If you don't like the outcome...toss it. I've collaged the inside of old shabby hat boxes..adding some of my pressed flowers. The majority of scraps come from 1880s black & white prints & music papers. It sure is a wonderful way to relax...even using old gift boxes will help clear out old prints & papers that are too delicate to use on anything else.

This is a brilliant idea. So much fun!

Another clever, clever brainstorm!

This triggered me to make a dent un my HUGE scrap pile. Brilliant!! Thank you :)

Great idea! Sounds like a plan. Thank you!

what a great idea this is. so many possibilities

Double side paper tip: I will dampen in water and slowly, very carefully you can split the pages into 2. Yay and get to use both sides!

Great idea yo have a masterboards scrapbook.... It'll be great to have them all in one place and you can still scan them in but keep the book to embellish later... Great fun ♥️ Off to work out if I have something to use to do it myself.... I'm loving collaging right now its a great way to relax and pass the time!! Stay safe and well Tina xx ❤️🌹

Very beautiful georgeos collage I 💖 it u do amazing excellent awesome job I admire that in u very much 💖💐🤗👍🥰 I'm going to give it a try

What a fun idea! I made my first masterboard sheet the other day and it was extremely relaxing. I like the idea of a book. Love your creativity!

Absolutely love it! Love the conversation ❤️

What a great idea and good taste! Thank you for sharing! Thumbs up, of course.

Hi Tina, this is a great idea! Thank you for sharing your ideas. You are truly inspiring. Stay safe!

This is so relaxing! Thank you for an amazing project for my mental health.

Thanks for this. What I do is scan the finished collage pages and then reprint on copy paper so the thickness is reduced and you can paste pieces of the collage into a junk journal. Sort of “collaging collage”. If that makes any sense.

Hi Tina 😊 fun idea! Peace and safety 🙏

Tina this is a fabulous idea!!

Great idea! Thanks for sharing your process. I know exactly what you mean about the impact on our mental health. I have anxiety too and generally it doesn't really affect me too much but the thought of going outside/to the shop is very worrying for me at the moment,. Keep well :)

I have a work book that was my great granddaughter's when she was about 8yrs old. I dont have a lot of scraps right now, but will.when I get to finishng my in progress journals. Then I can do this. I also have pages from another book that I pulled out of another book that I can make collages on

👍 Good idea 😊 , i ❤️ this idea, i can use all my scrap on my desk 😊🌸

Love it. Great idea ❤❤❤❤❤

I love this concept 👍🏼

What a great idea, thanks 😊.

Wonderful idea Tina! I spied some oldies but goodies in the papers you were using. This type of collage book has potential to be used in so many different ways. Something to flip thru for whole pages to make pockets, tags and tucks or even bits and pieces to make clusters, altered paperclips. Oh my! You had me cracking up 🤣 Double-sided scrapbook paper...the hoarding struggle is real in my craft room “stroking papers...my precious...” kind of like that big rose piece you glued down 😂 I actually clapped and cheered you on WOOT! No stress, even if, you as you say “dither or muck about” in the end if you feel good about the end result, well there you have it. IMHO just because you are filming please don’t ever lose sight of the fact that it is still YOUR time, YOUR art and YOUR efforts. All of which, I very much appreciate that you share with our crafting community. ❤️ A little story...In the past I had trouble with my tacky glue working fine when I first opened it, but after being “capped shut” over time I would end up mutilating the top with stick pins, poky tools and scissors or shaking the bottle while begging the glue to behave. That is until I visited my BFF in Florida, after a long crafting day I was poking the glue bottle (as usual) when she told me to just put a bit of water in and shake it good. 🧐 Why didn’t I think of that... she informed me that with different temperatures the bottle expands or shrinks allowing air in the cap, thus the glue loses moisture. It was at that point I realized that I’m friends with a genius. 🤪 ok enough silliness. I agree that there is a high possibility of some underlying social issues stemming from people isolating, I too am not a therapist or in the medical field. I can only agree from personal knowledge. Tina as always, thank you for sharing yourself and art with us. Praying you and your family are safe and happy. 🌻 Hugs, Debra Marie

I love this idea!! I'm doin it!!! Thank You!!!

Love this idea it’s great thank you so much xx

Great idea for repurposing books we already have! This is good for those who are just starting out and who have limited supplies. So cute the way they came out! TFS. 🌷

I wouldn’t be able to use the book after I put it together... I’d have it on my shelf, pull it down every so often, and admire the pages as I flipped through the book❣️

Love this. TFS ! I just made myself a 60 page book of my Geli prints to enjoy and flip through as well. It helps, and brings some joy. 👍🙏💞

Love this idea Tina, it's a real desk buster and time buster too 😂 Please don't worry about saying the wrong thing, it's just your thoughts. Some people do have to stay in for 12 weeks, you know the elderly and those with certain health conditions, so perhaps that's why it was on your mind. Thanks for the lovely ideas that keep coming, stay well and stay safe ❤ Dee x

Brilliant idea!❤

Really like this idea!

I love love love this idea!!! Time to pull out my scraps. Thank you so much for this wonderful idea!

T’ina, one of the best parts of your videos right now, is how you don’t ignore what is happening. So many others, try to stay cheerful, and not discuss anything. Thank you for giving me a place that is real🙂🇨🇦

This is great fun!

Totally fun! My “ mojo” got up a walked away a few days ago 😂. Hugs and blessings, 🤗❤️

Love this idea. Isn't it funny how the most simpliest things make the best ideas! I'm looking to do something in front of the telly, and this might be it! Ty! 👍

I love this idea and how fun it would be to have collage pieces in book form, easy to store and look at. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us. Stay well and safe. 🌸🌷🌸

Very creative, love this as you said at the end a great collage book! Another way to use up scraps. Thanks for sharing be safe @ stay well. 😊🤗

Talking about the picture you were hoarding, I have some of those and haven’t managed to use them. I think this book is a great idea to use them up, I could scan the page if I wanted to so never have to cut it up. Thanks for the idea, a book of my special images just for me. I’m in lockdown but I do a quick grocery run every fortnight. We did this yesterday and both my husband and I got back in the car with a sigh of relief and agreed we were really stressed. So many people take no notice of the social distancing in our area because earlier on we had only nine cases of covid 19, all were recently returned from overseas, all have recovered and there have been no new cases. I think they believe they are safe now. I’m starting to feel the pressure after more than 8 weeks but am loving the craft time, I miss the rummaging around in thrift shops looking for treasures, though goodness knows I don’t need any more. Thanks for your company and inspiration. 😀💐💕

This is one of five of my favorite things to paper craft right now. Its fun 🤗 tfs! Stay safe ,💞🤗

Let’s hear it for Epic Movies!🤣...at least yours. Fun, fun idea. I kept telling you...”just put it down it looks fine” then realized you couldn’t hear me. 😊. I think it got easier as you got to page 3 and you had me laughing which is good for the soul. They turned out great Tina, excellent idea. Take care.

Great idea Tina, to clear scraps as well left over from projects.

Great idea. I am definitely going to make one.

Brilliant idea Tina.

I love this idea. Love it. The roll i did like but i did not see it happening for me but this i do. Loving wishes Aya

I am going to start a book like this as a sampler of different collage styles i have been seeing on utube. One with torn edges, one with all straight edges, one with torn strips, one with straight strips, different colour combos, etc… cant wait to get started at it!

Relaxing process ☺️

Only three pages done and already it has a beautful look to it! Love it.

Fun project!

Great idea!

Hi Tina, I totally unstand you about over thinking. Sometimes it takes me ages to finish a journal page or a collage. Just can't help it 😬. Love what you do, thanks for sharing ❣

I keep finding wonderful ideas on your channel! I absolutely love this idea and I think it would be a good inspiration book if ever you don't know what to do or where to start....I can't wait to make one or two..lol... I love collage pages..Thank you Tina...fantastic idea!

It’s a cute idea indeed.

Wonderful idea!!! Currently looking for old colouring books... can't wait to do it. I think it would help in speeding up the decorating process.

I'm over a month into being quarantined and I've taken over the dining room table and TV for these. I took a huge pile of scraps and loose papers and divided them in piles of "color families." Each over-sized collage used the scraps from just one of the piles. I live alone and there is no reason to pick this up, I can just sit down at any time and choose a movie to watch and away we go! Yours, confined in the book is so much neater than my pile! (I thought I could insert a photo, but I can't figure out how to do that.

Cool! Another glue book idea and a great way to utilize scraps! Plus, it can be quickly done. Thanks for sharing!

I have done the collage roll but this seems better as you can keep it all together. I have a Daphne's Diary which will work so will have a go.x

Great idea Tina! I've done this with an old book I cut out the guts of and used for a journal. It is really fun and helpful!

Love this..such a great idea! I love collaging! Jo Ann xx

What a great idea

Neat idea Tina.

Awesome idea

Tina this was a perfect project for me to work on since I’m in bed with my migraines! I’m calling them my Master board books! Thank you for such a great idea of using scraps. Big hugs 🤗

Love this idea Tina. Thank you.

I love this idea. I've been collaging a book page roll but I just realized that I've got the perfect book to do this idea in. Thanks for sharing ❤️

I think this is a great idea! I find collage very calming and to have a page ready to go for tags and things is a good thing!

What a fun, super creative idea! And I know what you mean about how the paper "feels", it's hard to explain but I get it. I just love paper!

I am in Tina, love to collage!,

Love this idea!! Great use of scraps

Great idea

What a great idea. Separating the thick paper not only gives you a thinner piece to work with, but you could make some cool designs with the torn side using the original page design and the white parts you uncover.

Great idea and I will be making one! I got distracted / tickled however by the glue bottle being on the left then on the right then back on the left again... 😄

Excellent

Such a great idea!for many reasons! You are recycling ( I get so many junk mail booklets I could use with this idea). and creating pages you can use as you need for projects. It’s not loose papers you can lose and can be stored like a book on a shelf. Thank you for the idea!👏🏻💖

That’s a great idea. It’s funny you mentioned the holding on to the paper for so long. I have two sample pieces of fabric that coordinates perfectly together, but I’ve had it for about ten years. I can’t figure out where to put it or how to use it. Lol. And also, I too am very texturally driven. I love the feel of things. I guess it’s good that I am quarantining right now. I touch everything without meaning to. Lol. Have a wonderful day. 🌸

I love this so much❣️

What a great idea to use scraps at the end of a session ... much easier to store than scrap bins ... thanks Tina ... hugs from Australia 🐨 🐾

This is such a brilliant idea. I'll definitely do one of these. Tfs

Thank you so much for this idea. I absolutely love it and will start this version soon,since I have some of these books🥰😷

You are SO smart! What a great idea! I have several from my children too! 🤗

Great idea to use up scraps and to relax! TFS the inspiration, Tina!

Late to the party as usual but what a great idea. I love making masterboards but if I don't immediately use them I lose them in the depths of my stash😄 This is the solution, thank you. ❤

What a good idea! I must try this.

Brilliant idea!

New here, love junk journaling, & colageing. So nice to meet you.

NEAT IDEA-NICE WAY TO USE UP SCRAPS-TFS-HUGS/BLESSINGS

Sounds very fun and relaxing. I think you are right about mental health issues.

I would love these as digital prints. I don't have pretty paper scraps. I mostly have scrap strips. I keep my kit pages together in a ziplock bag because you could make 2 or 3 journals from one kit. My biggest fear would be running out of glue. I stocked up on glue and bought 2 big packages of glue sticks. I have been working in the backyard on the garden and we are doing some landscaping. I have been cooking more and making banana nut bread. You can still scan them and make them into tags and tuck spots, or envelopes... ❤❤❤

What a fantastic idea Tina, thank you for showing us! I don’t mind staying at home but I’m in one of the vulnerable groups who has been told to stay home for 12 weeks!! I fear by then agoraphobia will set in as the thought of going out petrified me after just 3 weeks. I know it should be one day at a time I need to convince myself though! xxx💕
