July is my birthday month and a special one this year. So I’m saving lots of things like ribbons and gift paper, envelopes and perhaps some dried flowers if they work out. I love brown paper. Music paper. And bookpage. I’m hoping to incorporate some velum as well. Sewing patterns . And possibly some small photos. I’ve been sick for a few days , so I’ve got some catching up to do but I’m hoping to get going back into it in the next few days, TFS . Meg .I’m excited about this challenge in particular this time .😊

My friend and I decided to give this a go! Problem is I only moved in to my new home last week and my entire craft room is in boxes, I did label the boxes but I cannot find anything that I actually need yet 😮there is definitely something to be said for limited supplies. Thanks for this video, I’ll make a start lol xxx💕

I definitely need to do this before any project. I allow myself to get overwhelmed with too much stuff and than I’m unable to create😂

I love pink. I have been wanting to do a neutral journal. Pale pinks, white, vellum, and buff color. I wanted to do a November journal, but didn’t have time, so I might do it now. I might finish my December journal, hmmmmmmmm, decisions decisions. lol. This video is so helpful. Hugs, treen 💕💕💕💕

I’m doing JJ January for the first time this year. I’m wanting to learn more about collage and I think this will help. I love that you’re putting a box together of items to use. Boy will that make it easier. Thanks 💕

I am so looking forward to this! It will be my first ever junk journal challenge by YT creators AND my first "true" art journal. Thanks to all of you and let the fun begin! :) -Kathryn

This is my first time participating in the Junk Journal January challenge. I'm creating a container to store my die cuts, fussy cuts, inks, scissors, and other ephemera. I'm making my journal pages in advance so that I can just start to decorate them with each prompt. New subbie here. Thanks for this fun challenge.

Meg... use the fox glove!!! its beautiful!!

What a great idea to do this! I will add gesso and a couple paint brushes, as well as gold wax, and a small spray bottle of water and a few oxide sprays

Love this! Except for the larger items like paints, glue and staplers, this looks very much like my travel kit which I store in a zip pouch. 🩶🧡🩷💛🩵♥️🤍💚💜💙🖤

I loved your voice! I just went to a art scrap store so I will start my January Junk Journal tomorrow My colors are pink and peach

❤❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing your ideas

I can't wait!!❤

Fabulous idea - love it!

Brilliant! I'm in! 🙌🏼 I have so many art supplies etc and I really want to use them more. This is the perfect opportunity. As a traditional embroiderer, I can say 2 things about using embroidery threads in your journal: 1) Sounds like a fun, creative addition, so use 'em however you like; and 2) They don't look to me like an expensive, premium brand, so, even if you didn't have the right to use your own supplies 100% as you want to, they wouldn't be “wasted”. 👍🏻

That is a great ideal thanks for sharing 😊

Love the JJJ Kit idea, Meg!! TFS xoxo

Thank you so much. I adore your videos.

I moved my craft room recently and downsized space so I am already organized ready to go. Excited for January !

Love it

Very helpful Meg. I know which basket I will use. I’m so excited for January.

Those are the makings of a beautiful journal. It's a great kit, and a good idea to make a kit... I don't know if I'm gonna make a kit, or just gather stuff for each prompt as I come to create the page... but.... I probably SHOULD make a kit, because like. you said, I'll probably waste a lot of time searching for certain elements... hmmm.

Looking forward to the challenge!

I love all your suggestions, and a prep box is a very good organization tip. I'm always looking for everything at the last minute

Great ideas❤

I have finally set up my desk with all my main things in arms reach, I know ill be using a lot of fussy cuts, digital ephemera as well as vintage items like stamps and tabs and tickets. I will probably also add beads and buttons along with other things. Thank you for the wonderful ideas.

This was so helpful. Full of ideas and thought processes that really gave me some focus. Thank you for this and all you're doing for JJJ. Oh yeah, and is there a video where you show using coffee dying and acrylic paint That sounds like something I need to try.

I love my stapler and also rolling up scotch tape. They make colored staples as well.

thank you for sharing your kit, that is very helpful. i feel overwhelmed with too many choices so it will be nice to narrow the selection a bit!

I'll be prepping on Saturday..I think.ill have to do a few at a time as I have several other projects going on. I think it will be fun.

I’m overwhelmed already 😂

I might use some lined papers to create writing space, and I know I want to play with my watercolor pencils. I'm not sure what else.

I was gifted some large thick zip lock pouches. Pages 9x12 fit in the pouch. When I found 2 books I wanted to have a specific theme, I put each book in the pouch, then went through stuff. Any Ephemera matching the theme goes in the pouch.

I have been getting supplies at my local thrift and now have over 40 Washi tapes to incorporate into this years journal!

Dictionary pages and maps

🧚🏻‍♀️Thanks for doing this video Meg! It’s my first time for JJJan so now I will start putting all my essentials in a basket too! What size is the journal you made? I watched that video and forgot to make a note.😂

This is great fun Need: words & phrases 🤓

looks like you are ready to roll!

This is so smart. I didn’t do it for JJJ, but I’m going to do it for February. Wouldn’t it be cool to change things out with each new month!?

I keep starting these in July and January but I just cannot seem to finish one. I did one December daily the whole way, so maybe there is hope for me.

Setting up a kit - what a great idea! I’m on it!! I’d like to include some PET stickers in mine. Can you please recommend a UK supplier, Meg?

What do you material hold your washi samples on wax paper, ?parchment?I love the sample idea…I have so many. I would also like to see how you use your washi

About how many pages is your journal? Do you have a spread for each day? Thanks!

What a great idea! Would you mind sharing if your sticker/rub-ons little pink book came with all the stickers or did you put them all in yourself? ☺

Have to have my washi...

Coffee dye your floral page.

Hi Meg where can I download the prompt list for 2024 please...thanks looking forward to JJJ 2024 x

I really just need a pen and a glue stick

Too much talking faffing about so hard to watch
