2 junk journals - 2 totally different styles - created simultaneously #1: FIND A COLOR PALETTE

I wanna show that inspiration can be everywhere, no matter which style, materials, mediums or tools you have! You can turn every inspiration you get from somewhere into your own, very unique piece of art. No matter if you're a junk journaler, card maker, art journaler or something totally different!
I'm obviously a junk journaler, so I am going to show you my process on two totally different journals that I am going to create simultaneously within this series here on my KZbin channel. But you can take my ideas and transfer them to any other paper craft project that you might have on your desk!
And no matter if you're a beginner or an expert in what you're doing I hope you can get some helpful tips and tricks from this series.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE. We should always remain teachable, and open to learning, be excited and thankful for it, and acknowledge and praise those who share with us. I’m looking forward to a binge catch up.

[@MsPixieD]

Wow, Luise, this is a great idea for a series, so excited to follow it! Of course it's only about 3 minutes in and I have to pause and comment. Love your coffee cup, the inner pattern is so nice! But until you touched the cup at 3 minutes 11 seconds all I could see in it was a representation of your journal pages, the tan and oxide base with black and white spatters 😄 Was glad to see they were bubbles popping and you didn't accidentally splatter in your beautiful cup, lol 🤎☕🤎

[@fyrtalker]

I thought the same thing!

[@nikkinewell577]

Exactly what we beginners needed.

[@heathersullivan8494]

Louise…this is so so helpful. For those of us watching people like you that have been doing this kind of art for a long time, it can be a bit frustrating sometimes. We see what you do and we want to duplicate, but it’s just not that easy. So doing videos such as this one is tremendously important and helpful. Thank you.

[@lauragaudry3402]

Luise, you are a fabulous teacher and an inspirational creator. Thank you. Hugs and blessings, ❤️🤗🇨🇦

[@lorlor2831]

This is a great idea! I definitely have those days where I just stare at my desk. Lol

[@susanmorales8675]

This video is so helpful to me, Luise. I can’t believe how clear you made the process of choosing the colors for a junk journal. I will be watching the next video in this series right away. Thank you so much.

[@kandrews6356]

I think the foam in your cup of coffee/tea is beautiful art... from the coloring to the bubbles forming in different sizes with white-ish around them, where the liquid kind-of separates from the foam, and then the design on the inside of the cup. LOL Maybe is should be a new paper design.

[@Hope9566]

You are a wealth of information. That is a genius way to put together and organize your journaling papers. The way you explain it makes so much more sense. I am so grateful to you. Thank you so much. I am going to continue to learn from you. You’re awesome. Thank you Caren

[@Astras-Stargate]

Luise, I had to come back to the beginning after watching a couple of the videos in this series. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise gained from making over 90 journals! You are a fantastic artist!

[@julia_l-c]

I definitely come to my table with way too many ideas, sit down and stare at my blank page or blank table and my mind goes blank - overwhelmed with where to start. This will be a fantastic series, and I've really enjoyed all your videos I've watched going through your process and you talking though your thought process.

[@Robin-qc4gn]

Oh I'm so EXCITED for this series!! I have not watched this entire video yet, but I hope that you can demonstrate more about your technique with the fabric-enhanced hard cover book (hidden spine) as the cover on one of these journals. Your Butterfly Beach journal and its cover are my favorite journals I've ever seen on KZbin, and I've seen quite a few from many different junk journal artists. In my opinion, your "eye" for colors and composition is outstanding and unique. I have already learned so much from you!!

[@tharp2499]

Oooh...I'm really excited for this series!🤗💖 Then again, I love ALL of your videos...I always learn something!💙💙💙

[@fyrtalker]

When I watched your swatch video I thought “that’s too much work for little return!” But now I see the benefit! I’ll be recuperating from surgery and I think I may have to make them!

[@daffiekibbleg7868]

This was very helpful. Your time producing this was definitely not wasted. I look forward to future episodes! Your english is beautiful! Take it from an American.. your english is far better than many born here speaking english as their native tongue. I so appreciate the massive effort you put forth to produce the English version of your videos! Thank you so much!

[@craftbird1]

Now this is very helpful thank you. I suffer from blank desk syndrome. Thank you so much.

[@martinezfrederic1]

I absolutely love your swatches, even though it can at times be tedious it's so worth it. I’m looking forward to see how your two journals will turn out. All the hard work that you’ve done with your videos are inspirational to me and many other people. Cheers to you.😊😉💞👏

[@coventrydougherty-woodin7806]

This is the bomb! What a great way to coach beginners! Thank you!

[@kriskriskris32]

I so enjoy watching your creative process. You inspire me to stretch my self-imposed boundaries

[@ellielynn8219]

This helped me so much. My ADHD often keeps me from being able to get through the first step when starting new projects, as well as seeing all my color options at once, then I get on “choice-overload” and get so overstimulated and just quit. Thank you for giving me a process to use on those days when I’m stuck. 💜 Oh, and I love how you added the ‘feeling’ part of selecting colors, I didn’t realize this is how I choose color, but I so do and now I feel I can clearly use that emotional-tool to help me choose.

[@lisamorice4701]

Fantasric Luise! I sometimes have too many ideas and get overwhelmed when I start projects such as journals, cards or scrapbook layouts. Then I spend way too much time hunting for just the right supplies and lose my way. I think this series will be very helpful. Thank you for sharing your thought process and going into such detail. I'm excited for more in this series.

[@jneigler]

Luise, this series is so valuable! I’m looking forward to learning from all the steps in this series. Thanks so much for this wonderful idea.

[@firebutterfly]

Whoa! The pallette medium swatch options is a phenomenal idea! So excited about this series.

[@jennyplowman1471]

OMG, loving this so far. Look forward to what's coming up in this series. Thanks Luise.

[@TrishDarbonne]

Looking forward to incorporating some white in the clean journal. It feels more intimidating than making it all grungy, and I’m ready to watch and learn.

[@hankejoosen4029]

I think this will help out so many people!🤩🤩🤩

[@rjr618]

And pink, Loise. don't forget pink!

[@diannabelluscio3273]

I make journals and give them as gifts, I always have the person in mind when I make it. Your swatches are fabulous!

[@doreethorpe4800]

I love this series, can’t wait to see each episode! I so appreciate your insight and the process you use to choose the color palette. Love to watch your brain in action! ❤

[@terriyoung2389]

On the issue of starting a project, I do struggle. Sometimes I have to walk away or set aside the plan for a different idea because I’m just not feeling it or I’m so anxiety ridden I’m feeling it too much. When I need inspiration from within myself, I will often just play. The “swatch series” Luise was truly inspirational. Your “mood board” series is a great one too…okay, everything you do is fabulous & informative. But if you do struggle with “getting started”, the mood board playlist is a go-to.

[@barbdarling150]

I so need this series. Thank you in advance! Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us. I eagerly await the next video.

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

This was amazing, and very helpful. I can’t wait to see more of this series! 🤗❤️ Tamara

[@taia-baileighpearce]

i found this very useful, what a great idea to pick a colour palette and then choose paper, ephemera etc , will definitely be trying this from now on x Thankyou Luise ❤❤

[@vickibusybee]

What a great series Luise. This is helpful in so many ways. Thank you for all that you share. 💖🧵🪡🎨📚🖍️🖌️🖊️✂️📖🗂️

[@donnamorina7846]

I’m so happy you are taking the time to walk us through the process of making a junk journal. I’m fairly new to this and looking forward to how you think about a start to finish journal. I love your style!

[@SaltLifeGypsy68]

Some thought provoking info Luise. Especially for the Boho journal I want to do. So many colors, I get overwhelmed.

[@lisapalmese7935]

Excellent ! Wonderful Art Instructor. Thank You

[@angelajclarkson]

Creating a junk journal is definitely "overwhelming" for me but as you said early on, I want to learn! I loved your box of swatches - such a great idea. Thank you for sharing your creative processes with us xx

[@karenpuschmann4157]

What a super strategy.. looking forward to what comes next

[@Laura-zw2kn]

Wow! Yes I find this so very helpful and am looking forward to more in this series! I’ve always been interested in junk journaling, but I never quite knew exactly what is a junk journal or how to start one. You explain things so wonderfully. I thank you for sharing your process and also making it easy for anyone to adapt it to their own circumstances.❤❤❤

[@katelickey3466]

This is so very helpful! I struggle with color palettes and pages when I'm thinking about making a journal. Thank you so much for this video series.

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Luise, I will so be looking forward to this, thank you so much for all the inspiration you bring with your videos.

[@ddmattin]

I just used a small journal to do this. My previous journals were a hodgepodge of colors/styles, and I wanted to try making one more coordinated. I put color swatches of Distress Oxides, wrote down some main focus-nature/floral /birds/butterfly and some coordinating elements like text paper and a background stamp to use throughout. Now on to your idea of going through papers, ephemera that would work so I don’t have to hunt through my stash for every page-thanks for helping me think this through !

[@tootsfour956]

Wow Luise, this is far from what I do. Since I am now learning from an artist, I will pay attention. Thank you for this video series. Blessings

[@gerrieswartz2692]

What a great idea … really looking forward to this series! You are so creative!

[@yvonnestaniforth8045]

Thank you Luise, I am looking forward to following your process and learning so much from you. 💖

[@karenlarsen3196]

Great plan to do this. I'm looking forward to watching more. I love the idea of making a pallet of colors/papers for each journal. Thank you so much.

[@londaedwardsrau3245]

Listening to your thought process is intriguing and very helpful. To understand what you're doing and why...of course, I was talking back to you and questioning you...but your explanations always came and made perfect sense.

[@theresapalmer7892]

Such a great lesson on choosing your colors

[@michelerowe176]

It feels like you did this just for me! I don't have much time to play it seems, so when I get time, it's usually spent forgetting every idea I DID have. I've got more supplies than I'll ever use, so I'm trying to be selective in what I buy... (I think I am preparing to be stuck retiring with only enough to pay bills and eat, so I feel that I need to have enough supplies on hand to carry me through those years...) I'd really like to start playing before retirement, lol!!! Thank you for being so inspirational and great at teaching!

[@tuthillg]

Great idea! TFS the inspiration!

[@katherinetwilliams4254]

Your explanation is very helpful in the thought process.thanks for taking the time to teach.

[@tiasjunkpaper]

Oooh, I love the idea for this series! How thoughtful you are in your approach to junk journaling. I think that's why I love your channel so much. I always do start journals with a color palette in mind, but never in such an organized fashion. I will definitely try this method and look forward to the next videos in this series.

[@lucyfanning7496]

This is such a helpful video. Thank you so much for all the time you have spent making this tutorial.

[@karendananay6730]

Very helpful, thank you so much. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

[@MyDjturner]

Luise I am really looking forward to this series. I am going to try to follow along with you. I hope these are weekly episodes. If not, I will still have them as reference to continue on this wonderful way of making beautiful journals. You are so wonderful to do this. Already I have a small stash of hand coloured papers

[@luiseheinzl]

Yes, those are weekly episodes!

[@junepatterson7928]

Such a time saver. Thank you for sharing this idea.

[@4GraceCreations]

so excited to begin this series with you!

[@NoYBW]

Louise, thank you so much for this series! I'm really looking forward to following along with you for the whole process, beginning to end. As a complete beginner to art, I really appreciate when you take the time to explain your process in detail. I often sit down at my craft table, jonesing to make something, and then my mind goes blank. Perhaps I'm feeling overwhelmed because I have no experience with imagining an end product or with developing and designing a project plan for arty things, yet am surrounded by supplies... I enjoy swatching and experimenting too, so on those evenings, that's what I do. 😉

[@deniseaka-pennyforyourthou2680]

This is so detailed and very informative! I’m really excited to watch the series of this and can’t wait for the next video!!

[@miamcknight9138]

A fantastic idea. Love your process This series is just what I need to get making a journal!

[@diamondstud322]

What a great idea for a series! I’m excited to see what you do 😁

[@toniscott1029]

I think I will learn a lot from this. I'm the type who just does what I'm in the mood to do in my journals. The vintage look makes it cohesive, but the colors on the pages are different.

[@pattoodle]

Thank you for sharing this very useful informIon and making it so clear.

[@nancypyter1511]

This is going to be a great series Luise!

[@kandrews6356]

I truly enjoyed this and learned a lot... I get lost on the "starting point" way too many times. Or, I have the idea, but can begin it because my ideas are so scrambled in my brain. The memory board method is a fantastic way to get things moving and get to thinking to a direction and get to concentrating on what you wanted to do initially. I'm probably not making much since, but again, I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for sharing it with us and I can't wait for the next steps.

[@nataliechim5227]

This is a great reference method.

[@Veronim78]

Video very helpful and informative. Thank you for sharing.

[@figainsart7609]

You are such a wonderful inspiration.. can’t wait for more of this series ❤❤❤thank you so much !

[@msbecky]

Great ideas for this...I have hard time with putting colors together sometimes and this is awesome way of doing it...thanks for your hard work Luise, you always amaze me!!!!

[@melindanaumovic8124]

Great idea. And your video was so interesting it went so quick.

[@susangazawaypapercrafting3749]

I appreciate this, Luise! This is very helpful. 😊

[@telenaeldridge3737]

Fantastic idea for a series!

[@Debbiefaber82]

can't wait for the next video in this series. It's will be so helpful :)

[@donnaarsenoff8399]

I’m so excited about this. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen white being featured for pages in a junk journal. I learn so much from you and I really really thank you.

[@tlschlueter]

Thank you for this! I’m very excited!

[@XenobiaF]

I love this planning method!

[@dorothykovak4900]

Wow, this is so helpful! Thank you!!!

[@sherrydennis2419]

I’m really looking forward tho this series, thank you.

[@SilviaSherriff]

I have never thought about making a journal using a colour palette. Maybe it’s because I’m new to JJ. I simply put a Journal together and then work in it, I don’t think about it. Watching various Videos helps me with motivation. Also Pinterest.

[@kristinjacobsen3417]

Looks like fun just making the swatches!

[@jackylooney7361]

Oh my! This is going to be so great. My mind goes in so many different directions. I have been thinking the next journal I make I need to do two at the same time so I can use all my thoughts in 2 different journals instead of using different styles in one and ruining it because it’s not cohesive. If that makes sense. This is going to be awesome!!

[@jayneterry8701]

This is a great new series ty! ❣️

[@monicabaldner1330]

Just saw the video of you and hubby...so good !!! You are so pretty and I enjoy you so much....

[@luiseheinzl]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@reddycomputerclasses]

So helpful! Thank you!

[@tavanetaylor98]

I’m looking forward to the rest of this series. Great idea!💙

[@maryhumphrey6766]

Dear Luisa, this is a really helpful system that you have invented. Thank you so much for sharing with all of your followers.✌

[@barbaraperna5536]

Very helpful 😊

[@morninglory576]

Very helpful Thank you!

[@crazysisterscrafting1849]

YES!!! I am already inlove with this series! Do you think you could do another series later on how you dye some of your papers? Such as the onion dying that you were showing? I love the look of the papers but have no idea where to start other than coffee and tea dying. Thank you so much for inspiring all of us!

[@luiseheinzl]

I think I have some videos for the future that would be interesting for you! Stay tuned!

[@BlackDogDesigns]

Fantastic video!

[@juliemonroe105]

Hi Luise, This is such an interesting process. It will bring everything together in such a cohesive manner. Can't wait for the next step.

[@karenmack254]

Oooh! I love this! I’m so excited for this series! 🤩🤩🤩

[@Rhonda.D.Wright]

OMG Luise, I need to create a whole special playlist just for this. I’m so excited about this series and please I hope you go in depth with your others like you did this one. 🙌😃👍🏻💃🏼

[@CherrySignature3]

Love it

[@cllestienne]

Thank you for sharing these "design tools" to jump start creativity and help keep a journal cohesive and attractive. The journal I'm working in at the moment is just all over the place. I've been working on making my own version of the swatch cards and combining them with these paper pads will be so helpful.

[@KitD2365]

I'm very interested in this series. I think it's clever of you to show more than one style journal because it's easy to think that grungy is all there is. I'm curious as to whether or not you use the papers you put in your idea notepad later when you are working on the journal? Because my crazy brain is always worried about wasting materials, so I see that stack of reference paper and think "it's being wasted!"

[@luiseheinzl]

Yes, of course I will use those papers as well!

[@fyrtalker]

I LOVE this! It’s wonderful hearing and seeing your thought process! I’m so excited for the next video, when will it be available? Thank you so much!

[@luiseheinzl]

This is a weekly series. The new episodes always come on Tuesday

[@charmainewagner-bell2764]

This is very exciting. I’m slightly ahead with my first journal which is ok. I used a piece of fabric as my color inspiration and have my palette. It amazes me how you are so visually discerning. Looking forward to the series.

[@lssphx]

Great tutorial… didn’t think about/realize the different iterations of TH distress inks
