2024 Junk Journal ideas | Use your Scraps!! | What I made for the Maker's Market

[@jamieferguson491]

I appreciate so that you get straight to the purpose of your video. Being held hostage to the talking before moving on is excrutiating and usually always deters me from watching something i would really like to see! All the ladies are so talented - I like your presentation. Thank you!

I love all of your creativity and ideas ❤ Thanks so much for sharing!

I`m not a junk journaler, but I just had to subscribe to your channel. I love everything you create :) The mini-albums are hilariously sweet, just like your beautiful children who are so lucky to have such a loving mama. No wonder people were disappointed when you showed up without the mini albums :))) I get so sad when I hear that people in the UK and in the US can find and purchase (great) books (and other great vintage stuff) for just 50 Cents or a Dollar or two. That`s so unfair. In Europe, but especially in my country, vintage or used books are very expensive, at least too expensive to use for projects. I don`t sew (yet), but I adore the look of sewed paper. The cards you made are great. You`ve inspired me to make some of my own. I guess I will just draw the yarn (better a fake yarn than none at all... LOL). Thank you very much for the inspiration and sharing your ideas❤ I wish you, your two beautiful angels, and all your loved ones a very Happy New Year 2024

P.S. I totally understand that sewing straight lines relaxes you. I also love certain projects that allow my brain to be in a semi-dream state.

Hello, Friend! I'm so glad you're here- especially since you're not a junk journaler - yet at least! Luckily, some of these ideas can easily make additions to cards and gifts so I hope you will still interpret them in your way. I only started sewing things during the pandemic, prior to that I simply used glue and staples. I once hand stitched and although it was not nearly as neat, it gave a similar effect and was quite relaxing. Granted, it takes a lot longer. Other options before sewing, were the use of washi tape to create borders that make images pop. I'd definitely second your idea to use yarn or embroidery thread- that would make for some gorgeous texture- try it! Thank you so much for your kind words and well wishes for my family, I offer the same to you, friend! Thank you for being here- more to come.

Your creations are amazing, keep up the good work! Hopefully I can be a great creator like you! ^^ ❤❤

[@SleeplessPage]

What a lovely compliment, thank you friend! You absolutely can and you will- start to day, have fun and keep creating! Thank you for watching!

I wanna see Shay at the sewing machine 😍 LOVE LOVE LOVE everything you make ❤ PS woke up saw new video gathered tea and snacks HAHAHA 👏🏽 I know the drill

[@SleeplessPage]

I love that you know the drill 😂😂😂❤️. Hmmm, me at the sewing machine…perhaps. Thanks for watching, friend 🥰🥰

[@KBlue728]

love the cute photo album ornaments! too cute! LMBO @ the magazine journaling card. I'm not mad at cha😂I want to make these. They are so fun but don't have a sewing machine. I know that's what really makes it pop rather than just gluing onto paper. All your creations are great💙

[@SleeplessPage]

I’m so glad you liked them all! Sewing does add really nice interest and texture but I think with a little tweaking, they can be great with just glue. Maybe add some washi details or even hand stitch here and there instead of all the way around. Embroidery thread would be fun. Now you’ve got me thinking…🧐😂

[@stacylinn3102]

Love the journal ornaments and magazine cards! You are not alone because I hoard and harvest magazines like nobody's business 😅

[@SleeplessPage]

I'm so glad, friend! It's great to be in good company [as magazine holders...ahem...harvesters! I like to think we're doing important work curating new art and [re]releasing it into the world. Not all heroes wear capes 🤣 Thank you for watching!

Yaayyyyy!!!

[@IslandGirl4]

I love all your projects, especially the layered embellishments! Please tell me where/how you found the pen pals (scrappy friends) you share swaps with?

[@gemmalclarke]

awesome!! I have actually noted down some wonderful quotes you said along the way - you will feature in my journal

[@joannedipietrantonio6433]

GM, Happy New Year I love your creativity and the way you explain your inspirational process. I too love the way sewing adds to the texture. I haven't ventured yet into including sewing to my projects yet. Do you use a specific sewing machine that does the job on paper? Have a great day! Stay safe and thanks for sharing.

[@SleeplessPage]

Happy New Year, friend! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I use a regular sewing machine and needle and it’s served me well. I probably should maybe get around to cleaning it though…🫠. Thank you for watching!

[@Freedaaa]

fun-fan-tastic :-)

[@maryandrusyk8702]

Fun look at your creations! Is the maker market you’re referring to the Fall one in Chicago? Also get ‘verts for it and have never been.

[@SleeplessPage]

Thank you for watching, friend! This market was a fundraiser for our school but I am curious about all the markets around the city!
