At long last, here is the beta version of the scrap buster “house”; the idea book that holds my scrap buster items. It uses 3 sheets of 12” x 12” Tim Holtz paper (this one is Memoranda, but any/all of his collections work well) and 4 sheets of thick paper or card stick. I’ve used Braille paper in here. In the next few days I’ll show you how I made the cover, the spine and how I’ve sewn in the signature. Thank you for your patience and for watching. Happy creating!
ETA: Scrap Buster item list and corresponding video:
1= journal cards & scrap clusters
2= bookmarks & envelopes
3= Gayle fold-down (Gayle Agostinelli) & die cuts/punches
4= negative space & fold-over pockets
5= match books & paper clips (including Paper Attic side pocket paper clip)
6= scrap cards & scrap pads
7= stamp cards & square-fold envelopes
8= tabs & tags
9= top-flip trifolds & tucks
10= belly bands & windows/frames
11= 3-pocket full page & top tucks
12= top fold-downs (Laura Bame ) & paper snippet rolls
13= triangle tucks (2) & shaped pockets
14= collage pages & pocket flips
15 & 16 (one video)= stacked pockets (3), button spots, concertina books (Wendy Townsend) & Tracie 2-sides (Tracie Fox)
17= books/notebooks & page borders and reinforcements)
Extra items made/mentioned:
Rita Donnelly flip
Hermalinda tag
Faux postage stamps
Layered paper flowers

I love this journal! So cute! As I newbie I really appreciate the explanations and details you give in your videos...so very helpful! I’ve made about 3/4s of the items to go into this scrap buster book and look forward to making the rest and my own journal for these goodies. Can’t wait to see the next video...thanks again for all you do!

I love your channel soooo much that I’m using it as my “degree” in journal making. I’m going to make me a journal like this for myself. I’m new to journaling/paper crafts. About 15+ yrs ago I bought what came to be 2 dressers worth of scrapbooking materials- but never did anything with any of it. Now I have a great opportunity to do journaling. As I learn to make each of these components I’ll be putting it in my idea journal. This is such a pleasure for me. Thanks for sharing what you know.

If someone is not interested 5hey don't have to watch. Plus you are 💯 correct when you said do what you like and what makes you happy. We are individuals with a variety of likes and dislikes. It is what makes us unique. There is no rule book saying a journal has to be either this or that. You are so very creative Cori! Thank you!

I have just found you....I don't know where I have been! You are marvelous...I love your journal...it is a creative wonderful piece of art.it is never a waste of time to create art. It is what feeds the soul. It is what gives us appreciation for the human ability to express ideas into tangible items. It encourages independent thought and interpretation. I am no spring chicken but rather an old hen who is living the importance of keeping your mind working. Your journal is a great example of how to keep the wheels turning ..and have a beautiful work of art that is your own creation! Thank you for providing this experience.

Why do naysayers feel the need to comment? I love the idea of making journals like this. How wonderful it would be to open a book like this and find a love one’s memories tucked away on a tag or booklet written down in no particular order. I would find it a treasure book to explore. I’m so thankful that you don’t stop sharing these wonderful ideas with us because of a few negative comments. I just love these journals and find them to be more of an encouragement to jot down a thought or memory than I would in a plain journaling notebook. ❤️🌷
