Anything that saves from trimming is always welcome! This is such an original design, honestly it’s amazing the things that you think up. So glad that you’ve converted your friends to the joys of JJ. I’ve managed to give several non-junk, kit based or matching paper and ephemera journals out for memory or photo keeping out, but alas have yet to find anyone who wants to sniff old paper with me 😂. And no one to swap JJ or supplies with. As I don’t have a sewing machine anymore due to arthritic hands, I’m going to look at adapting this to a glue version. You have very lucky friends and ❤ the autumnal colours.

I never get tired of watching your videos. This is one of the things thought I did not make. I think I will look into it birthday presents

So lovely! Your friends will love it!

What an adorable idea! Your creativity never ceases to amaze me, Joie! You come up with such original ideas. Never in a million years would I think of that. I used to be a very neat, tidy and trimmed girl but you're quickly converting me to a tatty edge lover! Ha ha! Looking forward to trying this one. I'm thinking perhaps for my granddaughters. Thank you for the inspiration, once again.

Can't wait to make one of these mini journals!

Such a sweet and personal gift for your friends!! Great idea and have a wonderful Saturday💕🐬

Absolutely Gorgeous, Anyone Would Love To Receive This !!

I love this project to make for introducing junk journals to my friends, and they feel over whelmed by a lot of empty pages. Thanks

What a neat little book! It's my favorite size -- postcard size. 😉I love how rustic it turned out. The jagged paper really adds to the character. Beautifully done!

Fun use of 12 x 12 papers! 🤗❤️🇨🇦

I really enjoyed this, Joie. I've already seen Barbara,,Tina, Gayle. Now you . Ya'll are amazing. Thanks for sharing. Have a super fantastic day. Sending love and big hugs Sherry ❤

I'm in love with this sweet journal, Joie. Smiles, CarolMartineArt

WOW! That was outside the box and I loved it. Great video Joie.

Hello Joie, just beautiful accordion journal, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for another amazing tutorial. I do enjoy you so much. 😊

I have seen Shana and Louise video and love them both plus yours

Well now, you just made me happier than a chicken eating watermelon with this project!! How absolutely adorbs is this. Love love love it. And just added multiple project to my to make list. Thanks Joie for always making projects that are doable and well explained.

The according journal is so pretty. Such a sweet gift. Good way to use up scraps and make something pretty. Thanks for sharing. Hugs coming to you and your family. Stay safe and warm.❤️💙🤗🤗🤗

Love this fun idea, wish I had a sewing machine. Cute little gift idea

Fun, fun, fun...such a creative design for a journal. As always, thanks for sharing your talents.🍂😊🍁

How wonderfully easy you make this look. I am watching your video sitting here in hospital once more. So relaxing and motivating. My creative brain has gone into overload again. Thanks Sweetheart for the distraction. Cheers, Maz

June 28..2023.. I have some of those papers 😊🤗🤗🙏🏿🙏💜

These accordion journals are so adorable!!! Your friends are definitely keeping you busy lol!! I’m sure they will love them. I can almost see you host a junk journal making party with your friends in the future. Wouldn’t that be fun?! 😀💚. Thank you for another awesome tutorial.

So ingenious! I'm going to watch the playlist now!

! love an accordion journal..I made one for Chrismas for a friend..

I really love this, a great way to shorten the depth of the scrap

Catching up on videos I’ve missed.❤️❤️ How did i miss this fun project?! Your intro was brilliant 😂.

I love this idea! What a great idea for a mini journal.

So sweet the litel Journals 😍❤️

Watched yesterday and was enamored with the idea. They are adorable. Looking forward to trying this out.

Simply gorgeous!!!💚💚💚

I do like the project, though I will not sew mine, as I don’t care for that look. What I like best about your video is the paper variety and some painty bits and the look of randomness! I foresee adding small envelopes, lace, and a wee dot of bling. One can do almost anything with the concept. So far, I have only watched yours and Tina’s but will definitely check others’ contributions, TYFS, Joie! 🦋🦋🦋

Joie: what a clever way you took on this challenge. A very creative small journal. Love how it went together so quickly. Carol from California

So fun and creative 😍 Thanks for sharing 🙌💐🌹🌼🌺🏵🌻

Those are really nice. I love the accordion style and the torn pages. Still on the fence about sewing but think I will come down in favour eventually. You ladies are producing some gorgeous and inspirational stuff!

Wow!! love it...very pretty and quick to make. Many thanks for sharing. x Blessings x Mariana UK xx

Such a great idea!

I love this design, and you explain the process so well. Thank you!

I love this journal! How cool! Awesome tutorial! Thank you for sharing! God bless! Love hugs and prayers my friend! 🌻😇🧡🤗🙏🌻

Oh Joie this is just fab 🤩 love love love it ….I think this would make a lovely Christmas Present. Thank you for your inspiration again 💕x

What cute little projects !! I can’t wait to try! TYFS!!

I love it, Joie!!❤ I can’t wait to try my own!! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful ideas! Have a very nice day and week! ♥️

So adorable!

Amazing lots of texture, depth and interest. Love it 🥰

thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I absolutely love this. x Catherine

Oh Joie these are fantastic. I think I'm going to make these and put a bar of my homemade soap with it for gifts for teachers and Sunday school helpers and such for Christmas

Hi Joie, a very cute idea. I always love how you come up with awesome ideas. Thank you for sharing them.

Brilliant, very creative.

Like this challenge. I have seen a couple of videos so far. Each one is different while following the guidelines. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦

Oh Joie! As I was settling in to watch this vid I heard you say something about "fast, cheap, and easy". For a second there I thought you were talking about me 😳, but then I rewound and listened more attentively and realized you were talking about today's project! 🤭🙈🙉 So far I've watched Tina and Barbara do their projects and although they both talked about how uncomfortable they were doing it, I thought their pieces turned out great. Bummer that we all hafta be so stinkin' hard on ourselves, isn't it? Love you girlfriend! Hugs, Ems 🤗❤️🏜❤️🤗

Love it! Perfect gift.

This is a great gift. Thx for sharing this

Very cute and creative!💕🌹

Hi Joie! Hope you are doing well! I Love this vídeo! ❤

WOW! It’s amazing! 😍😍😍

Very creative!! TFS * L

I really love this idea. It looks like so much fun to do. X

You make it seem so easy yet comforting and delicious. Thank you for these mini journal ideas and techniques!

Excellent job!! Love this❤️❤️

I just found your video, it is amazing, I love your explicit details. Great job! Thanks for sharing!

Good morning Joie, These look Fantastic and will make great Christmas gifts, my To Do List is getting longer and longer every week after watching your videos and tutorials 💕 Love these! Thank you! Enjoy your weekend 🍂🍁

Great idea thank you

I've seen Tina's at her Shabbydabbydoda. She did a cute material snippet roll

So creative! Love this!

Love it Joie!!!! Did i see a couple of puzzles pieces in your mini junk journal?? Brilliant!!! I really love how easy you teach us!! Thank you!!

I love an accordion style journal . Perfect for sending to my special pen pals . Already watched Tina & Barbara . Incidentally I still have a small piece of a snippet roll with the leaf and mushroom which I bought from you a while back ( I’m hoarding that one )

September. 15...2023./❤😊😊

I just love making accordion style journals Joie! And I love the torn paper look!

Joie this is amazing! I have been slowly creeping towards having a go and this is the video to do it! I just love the smaller, less daunting size and the flow throughout is like an impetus to get going on my own. I have a few Christmas papers out at the moment and ephemera so it’s just there waiting for me. Can’t wait to get started. Thank you so much for your creativity!🧡🇦🇺

Love this video...tfs ❤️

It is beautiful. I have watched a few videos in the series. I like this very much. 😊

Wow love it 😀

Brilliant idea, this is a great project, and so unique. Thank you so much for sharing.

Love this, and love your style Joie! Can’t wait to make one. So many themes to explore and wonderful to show kids and grandchildren that you can make beautiful creations out of bits and pieces that might normally be tossed. 😊🇨🇦

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this beautiful piece come together, Joie! You rock!

So simple, yet so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

I absolutely love this idea!! Such an attractive gift idea!!

Lol typical they've all started loving junk journals all at once 🙈. I've only see Tina's stitching video, too many to watch them all 🙈 I'll definitely see Barbara's though too. I've made two micro junk journals 2" x 1 .5" super fiddly though. I absolutely love the sound of paper tearing😁. Your under/over technique always works 👍. Tina did a gorgeous fabric snippet roll and has zero confidence in herself despite the awesome results! You're getting that done so fast it's almost ninja collaging🙊. Ah that poem is a favourite of mine 💖. How indicative are the words "season of mists and mellow fruitfullness"? I love the idea of an envelope or little pouch to make the gift more special. Great idea 💡 for Christmas presents. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

I love your work Joie. Collage is great, it seems simple but actually it does need thought and I need to be in a collage mood, such a rewarding feeling when it has come together and the result is pleasing. Thank you X.

Just love it! I might make some for Christmas gifts. And, yes, I absolutely love your project papers. I find a tutorial I want to make, print the process, then make a sample to keep with the note. :) I can see exactly what to do!

So far I watched Tina as she struggled to get over her bits and pieces of lace and trim. But it was very pretty when she got done. I also watched Helen Holbrook and was so amazed that she was doing tiny little leaf like things without a foot. It was amazing and then she painted all of those little flower things or leaves. I couldn't believe how much work she was putting into it. I've also watched Barbara at 49 dragonflies do hers and I think that's all I'll have to look up the others. I love yours very much as always because I love your style so much. I do think I will make one of these but not sure that I will use the fall thing as I don't have many of those colors. I will watch your video again as I do it and then I will put it on Instagram and tag you

This is wonderful, Joie! Was just doing some fast flow stitching on a Christmas journal cover last night so may have to keep right on going with one of these! Thank you for sharing yet MORE awesome inspiration with us!

I FIGURED YOUR PAPER WAS FROM K AND CO. I LOVE THEIR PRODUCTS. IM A CRAFTY HOARDER OF THEIR EPHEMERA AND FANCY STICKERS AND SUCH. I HAVE SOME OF THEIR PRINTED CARD STOCK THAT HAS AUTUMNAL COLORS I WILL DEFINITELY BE USING IN MY FALL ADVENTURE JOURNAL. THANKS FOR REMINDING ME. MY FALL JOURNAL WILL CONSIST OF RECYCLED AND OTHER MIXED MEDIA ITEMS. AS CRAFTERS WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING TO REPURPOSE THINGS.

these journals are so lovely - i will be making a few of them to send out - thank you for this inspiration Joie - be well xx

💖🤗🤗🤗🙏🏿

❤

These are SO FUN!!! You have solved my gifting dilemma, so now I'm off to make some of these adorable little journals! I've been eyeing a portable sewing machine as well, this might be the reason to grab it now as my Singer from the early 30s is in storage, alas, adapt, adapt! LOVE your style and your tutorials Joie, I will also have a look at some of the others in this collab! Cheers! xo

Hi Joie, hope you are well ❤️‍🩹.

Wow Joie absolutely beautiful, I'm going to give it a try, especially the sewing. I already have the machine out binding a guilt. Do you always use black thread?

Please please please tell me what you do with a junk journal. I love them. I just don’t know what to do with them. Maybe I need to see one after it is made and someone has done something with it. 😊

Want me to call them all up and tell them you changed your mind and can't do it?? LOL. Austin,TX USA

I know she's been sick does anyone know how she is and if she's ever coming back I'm looking forward to seeing new videos and getting a health update??

Explain the purpose of a junk journal. What is a junk journal.
