Yours actually seem to have paper in them. I like watching people make them and they look great but I wondered the same exact thing. Most the ones I’ve seen have almost no line paper or clear spots in them at all so I wondered where do they write at lol? That’s literally how I got here. To find out… but yours have a lot of paper so that makes sense to me.

@@SeerSeekingTruth Yes, I make artistic writing journals, haha. The junk journal maker community is really broad and encompasses the folks who make them solely as art, those who make them solely as recycled art, those who make them to use as art journals and those who make them with some other use in their mind. All of them are, as you say, just fun. I admit to being just a little more practical, I guess, haha. Thanks for watching and for reaching out.

I have a lot of her papers (both scrapbooking and household) which l can use for the signatures.

@@nancysale188 Hello Nancy. Thanks for reaching out. Yes, the first layer was a strip of an old Tyvek mailing envelope. It is a thin material, but very strong and it helps reinforce the spine and the fabric just finishes it off nicely (also reinforcing the spine).

I’ve been thinking about a similar project. I just turned 60 and am single with no children but my life has been full of many and varied challenges and accomplishments. I was thinking of calling it “Bits and Pieces of Me”. Not sure who would want it. I’ve been deconstructing my old scrapbooks which seem big and clunky to me now. The idea of preserving these moments in such a creative way appeals to me. In the end it really doesn’t matter, does it? If it makes me happy, reflecting on such milestones and creating a product that makes me happy, that is all that matters. If it ends up in a landfill many years from now, it is still worth it. After all, it is just paper, right? So we deserve how and what makes us happy while we can. Thank you for sharing your talent. I think I may refer back this video when I start making my journal. 😊
