Have been saving my collection of gift bags in my largest gift bag. My mind swirls with ideas whenever another bag is added to the 'family'. But things will change! No more stashing! After a night's rest, I will empty the neat accumulation of said bags and make some chosen bags into beautiful offerings of thanks to dear friends. Thank you for your never ending inspiration - who else can make a bag as beautiful? BJW in TN, USA

All the things you do are so much fun. I would not have thought of the gift bag, into a journal, of which I have many ♥THANK YOU

When I running out of ideas I can always count on you to give me some inspiration. This gift bag journal is adorable.

Another beautiful and creative idea to repurpose those pretty gift bags! Thank you Natasha!. God bless you.

Love these little "wallet" journals. Thank you.

Quick and easy…..yet you have created beautiful little bag journals. So many ideas from what we often discard.🤗🤗🤗🥰

Your creativity is boundless! I never fail to be inspired by each of your videos. Please keep it up…..

Who doesn't have gift bags😁 this is a lovely project,so quick and easy...thank you❤

You are a steady source of inspiration. I'm so happy to see you approaching 100K subscribers! Well done, and much deserved for the creative bounty you share. Thank you! 💗

This is great - some of the designs out there are fabulous and these bags are designed to stand some wear and tear! We use and reuse gift bags so much in our family that the same bag will be used for multiple gift-giving opportunities in the same year.

You are right!! Everybody has a stash of gift bags! What a cute idea for such a mundane objects! You are indeed a wonderful inspiration! Thank you for sharing your ideas with us!!

Do I feel inspired? You bet I do ... with all of your videos! You have done it again and came up with yet another absolutely genius idea! And I was about to give away all of my gift bags because we will move in spring ... Now I know to keep the cutest ones :-) Thank you so very very much for sharing your unique ideas with us.

Cute and fast!!!!! Last minute gift item!!!!!!

No cutting! I really like the binding template idea too. That's so helpful. Hardly any measuring. They look so beautiful. Very clever.

Thanks. Nice idea. I have used gift bags for decorative art work! Save all mine, too. My children are grown now. There was a special batman gift bag my oldest son got every year at Christmas with a gift. When he got married I mailed his gift to him in that bag!

Thank you Natasha, your crafting is sooo achievable for regular people. I watch all these videos on journaling and they are wonderful, beautiful and the crafters are very talented. But I watch them because I’m not talented, I do try and try but my work does not ever seem to turn out the same . But your work is more realistic. U use achievable goals. Thank you 😊

You’re so creative, this blew my mind. Idk how you can see a bag and see all the potential and possibilities! I’m amazed and so inspired for a craft tomorrow!!

"Hope you feel inspired"? Let me answer that... YT suggested one of your videos - I don't know why. I LOVE the sound of paper rustling, so it had some ASMR-ish effect on me. I had that video running in the background while I was doing something else, not really caring for the journal topic. And another video. And one more. At some point I realised that I like your humor. What meant that I had started watching without really noticing at first... Several weeks later I had made my first junk journal. Just out of curiosity and because I'm all for up- and recycling. So much fun. Yes, you do inspire people. Thank you so much for sharing your passion. :)

Never knew about Journals, I know, I know, but I didn't... Your videos I binge watch all the time now.... So many ideas, and Explained wonderfully!!!.. I was in a creative slump, and for real, your video's have sparked my creativity again... Thank You for posting your videos!!

Can you please do another "journal with me". I've made a journal recently but have creator's block and I love your style because of how you don't use digitals. Anyway love this project can't wait to give it a go.🤗❤❤❤❤

Hello. You’ve done such an awesome job turning a gift bag into a junk journal! No cutting, no gluing etc. Quick and easy I really like it. I was in the dollar tree and I was looking at so many beautiful gift bags wondering what can I do with such pretty paper.. I did cut and paste some pieces into my junk journals but this idea is even better🌹❤️. Thank you

A fun project! I have a stash of pretty gifts bags that now have a purpose!

I have binged on your videos for weeks. Your professionalism is top notch. Your sense of humor you sprinkle in is so enjoyable. You make me laugh and I deeply appreciate that, too!!! I love, love your tutorials~~~~🥰

Love these ideas! Gift bags are sturdy, and colorful, too.I've also been collecting the greeting cards from charities. They would make great cover plates for these, or any treasure books.

So very adorable! You do a nice job presenting also. I cannot throw away gift bags or nice shopping bags! Great ideas! Thank you!

Wow you make diy journal so easy and fun.

This was exactly the video I needed right now! I’ve been collecting gift bags forever but I was too afraid to actually start working with them cause I didn’t know where to start. Your video inspired me to finally do something with the bags. Now I want to make a whole journal out of gift and paper bags I think it will look really cool and chunky. Thankyou! 🤗🤎

I love using bags and gift bags for covers so many great pockets and tucks built it. Thanks for sharing.

Love the way you have utilized gift bags. I have many and think I will make one or two with clear pockets to gift to a friend to organize her inbellishments in.

You made simple bags look so elegant, Natasha, I love them!

I love this idea and surely will make one out of my huge stash of bags. (all my family gives me their used gift bags) Now I don't want to finish what I'm working on and make one of these. Thanks so much for sharing!!

Natasha - this is such a fun, fast and cute journal! And you’re so right - we all have a little stash of used gift bags! Thank you for the inspiration! I so enjoy all your videos!

💜💜💜 What a great idea!!! I have a HUGE collection of these bags - I cannot throw one away whenever someone gives me gift in one! Thank you so much!

What a great idea! There's so many beautiful Christmas/winter bags out right now...and I've never seen a writing board before! I'll be making those today for all my journals, thank you so much!

That's a cut project, Natasa! Thanks for the idea. You always have such great papers to make your pages!

Another great idea! Fast too! I'll have to find the prettiest blue winter gift bag; with eyelets! Thanks so much. These are so high end looking, just beautiful!

I love working with bags! Such a great way to empty out the elephant graveyards most of us have somewhere. Thank you for sharing this with us!
