2024 Junk Journal Planner Step-by-Step/Plan with Me Jan/New Digital Kit!

[@jeannezander212]

I don’t want Effie to go. He needs to make guest appearances throughout the year. Maybe wearing different hats. He would be adorable in a spring bonnet

[@Ammiel7]

🙋🏼‍♀️ephy will be with me forever I need to make him from fabric yet lol

[@nedleycat]

Help! I can find everything with him in the freebies! Where do I find Him?

[@wrenbayley]

Barbara, I know you have been so busy with Dephemerember, even if recording somewhat ahead. So, thank you so much for this extra video! You are a busy, busy girl! Happy Friday❤

[@49dragonflies]

You are so welcome! ❤️

[@zanegrey244]

Barbara! You’re killing me! Every kit is just as beautiful if not more than the last!!! I have to have it!!! I couldn’t even get through your video before I had to Comment!!! Love love love your work!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaaw thank you! ❤️☺️

[@skullingtonfly]

I can’t wait to see this beautiful new journal get big and fat and full of your creativity 👏👏👏👏🥰🇦🇺

[@myenchantedjournals]

2024! Can you believe it! Time is flying by. Love how you keep recycling all the paper bags and turning them in to beautiful journals instead of landfill 🤎

[@juliedent4221]

Love your creativity! I use my Cropadile Big Bite to punch the holes in the cover and signatures. No more awl! It works like a dream! 💜

[@sherrrysparklynn]

Everything I watch you construct a new journal I learn something new.

[@MBelleDutton]

I've watched this several times from beginning to end. I let it play again last night while I tried to make one myself which came out pretty OK! I do love the feel of the cover. I made mine with the flap as well. Thank you for the inspiration.❤❤

[@49dragonflies]

Wonderful! 😊❤️

[@margaretcomella3318]

You've got these planners down pat, huh?! I love them! Glad you're enjoying your current book!👍 And...Ephy...😆😆 Hi Ephy! Can't wait to see you again!!❤❤

[@rhondamarshall7039]

Always love your covers and the new Digital is beautiful. Hugs from the land down under.

[@allisonjames2923]

Love that you shared tidbits from all the interesting things you experienced throughout Dec. it has been far too long since I’ve been to an exhibition or movie or anything (& we only have very little galleries in my region of Australia as we’re a relatively small town), so it’s wonderful to get these glimpses.

[@matildaenlund6679]

So beautiful!❤

[@deniselini1366]

Omg you’re adorable Barbara!!!😄with the Effy sneak in!!!🤣🤣🫶🫶🫶

[@49dragonflies]

☺️

[@allisonjames2923]

I love your new digitals. They’re so beautiful & delicate & very calming too which is perfect for the start of the year after Christmas stress. And you know you could print yourself some coffee cup decorative strips. You could either make some card stock ones to use, or print on canvas & sew them into a circle you can slip over your coffee cup as a decoration. You’d just need to angle the image so it will fit. That way you can print a new decorative strip for every month 😊 Oh my that metallic leaf paper is GORGEOUS 😱😱😱

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much for your feedback and idea! ❤️

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

I’m so excited about you making more journals! Sadly I’m never quick enough at snatching any up 😕. But I would absolute love to get one of your amazing pieces of art. Even if it means I have to set an alarm to get it 😂. It is sad that you will not be making three videos though. I find all your videos so inspirational. But I also know that it is impossible to juggle all that you do. And if you are too stressed, you will never be in a good creative space. I hope you find this to be a perfect balance for you. Your kit is just gorgeous! I will definitely have to get it as my daughter is a huge dragonfly fan. And wow 😱I love your cover! I am so inspired to try paper bag and fabric as you have been doing recently. Your covers are always pieces of art as themselves. Finally, sweet Ephy is welcome in any video! Hugs to you and Ephy 🤗❤️

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw you are very kind! Thank you for your sweet feedback! ❤️

[@Dawn-fz5cu]

Absolutely gorgeous! Love these soft colors they are so beautiful! Thank you once again!🥰

[@jacquelineremus8674]

The white ibis are native to my state, Florida here in the US. The red ibis which look pink in the sky are often mistaken for flamingos. They are so pretty

[@ItadakimashuU]

"Extra" vid, what a treat 🥰

[@ItadakimashuU]

LOVE the dragonfly kit ❤️

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you! ❤️

[@jolajolcia2342]

Barbara, since you introduced the paper bag covers I am totally addicted and don’t use any other covers for my journals. Your new digital kit is very beautiful ❤ looking forward to watch more of your planner videos and watch how this beautiful journal will slowly become chunky 😀Btw Melbourne will hold Pharaoh exhibition in June 24. I can’t wait

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much! Enjoy the Pharao exhibition! ❤️

[@TubeYouLena]

The planner is just perfect, cannot think of any other way to make a book, simply awesome.24:36 You wished you had coffee cups like those. Maybe now’s time for your brand’s own merchandise? I laughed when Ephy wandered into the wrong video. Your entertainment style is quite special.

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaw thank you! ❤️☺️

[@tinaart64]

Hi Ephy of course you want to be on every video ❤❤❤

[@shinybreesilver3264]

Love the new digi-kit…. The colors and graphs are amazing. You also got me rooked on the paper bag wrapped in fabric journal covers. Indeed, the sound of paper+fabric is music to the years and the soft and squish touch is a delight to work on it. I am sad we will have one less video per week from you, but happy that I may be able to afford and snag one of your journals ❤❤ Maybe you can squeeze another extra video here and there, just filming you working on the journals. Something simple that would not require a lot of editing…. Just watching you work and making journals.

[@MaureenAstrid]

❤ thank you sweetie for showing the gorgeous pages you made and the so kind words about my story and digitals ❤ with a big hug from a huge Star Wars fan 😘

[@49dragonflies]

Happy to share your beautiful pages, sweetie! ❤️

[@MariKayCreations]

That kit is GORGEOUS! And totally the right idea to dial up the creating journals and dial down the videos. No one can do everything! Merry Xmas.

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you and Merry Christmas! 🎄❤️

[@karennance3719]

We were on a Viking cruise in November and we visited Vienna, beautiful city, we loved the Christmas markets❤️

[@49dragonflies]

Yay! Happy you enjoyed your trip! 😊❤️

[@margueritemitchell1829]

Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 ❤

[@swannwillow9476]

Hi Barbara. You talk about the museums and interactive cinema as if it is just a natural part of life... You have no idea how lucky you are to live in a 1st world country.😢 I hope you enjoy every moment of these things for the sake of all of us who don't have access to it ❤

[@49dragonflies]

I am grateful for that and I’m aware I’m totally spoiled living in Vienna!

[@nataliechim5227]

I let out a huge laugh when I saw Ephy on the screen. Maybe he will stay around crafting journals with you longer than just December. Two videos a week will be fine, you need to do what works for your business. I hope some will be about the making of the journals and always love your monthly planner videos.

[@shayriddle1498]

Love Lisa Gardner! Your journal is beautiful.

[@anitajansen5610]

Hi Barbara, What a beautiful kit. Dragonflies have a special meaning to me. They are connected to the memory of my son. When I saw the video I immediately bought them. Thank you👍🧡

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@karlakoykka-walker]

Beautiful kit! It obvious you put your whole heart into it! Just love it! 💕

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you! ❤️

[@JessicaHarris]

WoW! I love the dragonflies and the color scheme!

[@Ammiel7]

🙋🏼‍♀️Barbara This is gorgeous Just love those papers 🌟🎄🌟

[@RobinfromCA]

Wonderful! I love that Tim Holtz fabric on the cover. Mischievous Ephy sneaking in for a peek! Merry Christmas! 💛🎄

[@angelaarnold4255]

This planner tutorial came at the perfect time. Our grocery bags here in Utah are a different size and shape. But my Grandson ordered a door dash meal and the bag was the same size and shape as this one. Watched how you cut it out and what pieces you didn’t need. I need to decide on my page sizes before I cut it. But now I have a better idea on how to do it. I love your new kit. Beautiful colors. The flowers and Dragonflies are amazing. Poor little Ephie. He wants to be your Crafting buddy for everything you do. Lol. He’s so cute. 🎄♥️🎄

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you sweetie! Have fun making your journal! ❤️😃

[@angelaarnold4255]

@@49dragonflies I just ordered your Background Pages and the Ephemera Pack. My phone is my Planner. So I didn’t need the calendar pages. I’m so excited to print off these pages. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. ♥️🎄♥️

[@house_of_chaos_art]

Möge die Macht mit dir sein 😊

[@rondamudloff5906]

Barbara, I am trying to flow Dephemerember but am behind. It is my first journal and when I to work on, I really enjoy myself. Thank you to you and Luise for doing it with us. I love your pink foxes and had to have them.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much! ❤️

[@rosarieramon1081]

Beautiful digikit💖😅. Ephy, you a special sneaky appearance. Too cute of you😅! Anyway, loved your planner, Barbara💖

Love watching you create Barbara, love your journals. These papers are fabulous. Love seeing Ephie! TFS! ❤

[@dbabybear]

Beautiful journal as always. I almost spit my drink laughing at Ephy sneaking in and exiting out.

[@allisonjames2923]

It’s funny that you say the movie was like a ride, as the only time I have experienced that 4D movie experience was actually when I visited Universal Studios many years ago & watched a short Shrek movie there. It was very disconcerting having the puffs of air, we had mist spray us then the seats moving. We had a 3D screen though as I remember a fairy right in front of my nose

[@janillingsworth7478]

Effie's visit was delightful. I love watching you make your planners. ❤

[@caroltanzi29]

Barbara:nice looking pages.

[@sfalco556]

[@49dragonflies]

You never know why he is up to 🤷‍♀️😃❤️

[@judyandrew592]

I think Ephy might take you on a holiday someplace warm for a much needed break & more inspiration! What you think Barb? I wonder what he has in mind for Luise? Oh, I think I know!

[@flamingogirl57]

Oh oh oh I love this kit and planner . I love it so much I ran and got it and came back !!! Lol !! Hehehe... I love Ephy popping in !! 😊 Thank you sweetie !! Mwah mwah !! Merry Christmas!!

Lovely wonderful and creative journal....Love the butterflies and dragonflies ephemera, too..........😻

[@JournalBreezeYT]

Beautiful kit! It's a pity you haven't had time to make more journals if you want to, so good for you switching up your schedule to accommodate this. Remember too, we like your unedited videos very much too! Happy New Year Barbara, thanks for all you share 💞💞

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you and Happy Holidays! ❤️

[@danielapeer8760]

Wow, das ist einer der schönsten Kits, die du je gemacht hast! ❤

[@49dragonflies]

Viele Dank!

[@elizecoetsee6285]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you for all your wonderful work and art you shared with us throughout the year. Thank you so much that you encourage us to create, no matter how much mistakes we make, it’s is a piece of our own art. I love all the colourful pages you create. I love the images. I normally keep the beautiful page on the one side and create on the other side. I do not like to cover up beautiful things, I want to look at it, and enjoy it. Enjoy the festive season. With all my love ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you and Happy Holidays! ❤️

[@altamoab]

Just a thought…You can color copy and shrink down the page 😊😊too large for your planner.

[@marylackey868]

Beautiful kit..... I just love your bag journal covers❤❤

[@genevieveDawn6542]

Love this! If your journals keep ending up too chunky ay the end, you could switch to 4 journals with 3 signatures each, but maybe with the same size "spine" 😊

[@karenroe6270]

Just subscribed and ready to learn. You got me in the 1st 20 seconds. 💖🌟

[@myhappyspace4533]

Love seeing your new planner. Have you considered selling some of your journals you made over the years on videos. Some of these journals have so many good memories watching it.

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you and yes, I will be doing that as well 😊❤️

[@robinknutson8765]

Love your collection.

[@just4craftsngiggles454]

On the left hand side of the green pages time stamp 30:34 I see a gnome in the pattern it looks intentional it’s so cool

[@just4craftsngiggles454]

Ps just saw where you said you didn’t know what to do with those pages and that you may just cover it up. I have and idea for you ,if you see the gnome too,maybe outline it in ink and/or use different pattern papers to dress it and maybe do a seen in the background using different tech techniques

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you for the idea! ❤️

[@mariakristinaengen3215]

💜 Love this kit! 💜

[@hankejoosen4029]

Another gorgeous planner! 🤩🤩🤩

[@KateriBurnett]

Hello Barbara, ok so I went to the Van Gogh exhibit and it was awesome. Glad to know you didn’t care for this last one you went to. I’m interested in King Tut but would be very disappointed if they didn’t have artifacts to look at. Ephy you tried.😄😆 always like watching you put your planners together. Merry Christmas.

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄❤️

[@prof.mommyarty]

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! So many videos to catch up with🙈. Yep 2024 already😱. 😄 I'm loving the storm trooper pic (sci-fi geek here) . OMG that expo would be AMAZING! We get nothing here 🙈. Lol love 'the vaders' pic too 🙊. I think history should be taught in 4D with VR, they won't forget those lessons! Gutted I missed the immersive van Gogh😫. Oh we did a merged photo at 'The history of man' exhibition lol yours might be weird but we were Neanderthals😄😄😄. Maureen's designs are gorgeous 😍. Oh beautiful new kit, gorgeous colours 😍😍😍. I have a similar set of images I bought to make kits 🙈 uh oh. I'm sure they'll look very different 😁. Oh I use koala brand, I love it. Great idea to mass splat in advance! Yes editing is so time consuming, you deserve the time to do what you want instead of what you have to 🤗. Santa brought me a gel plate! I'm nervous lol. I didn't realise Spar was everywhere🤷. Very cool cropodile! Lol journals really grow 🙊. Gorgeous 😍. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks sweetie and have fun with your new Gelli plate, yay! Just go for it! Happy New Year sweetie! ❤️🥰

[@stefaniedraeger3794]

Liebe Barbara, vielen herzlichen Dank für all deine Videos. Du hast mich in diesem Jahr so überzeugend inspiriert mit all deinen Kreationen, die mich jedesmal aufs Neue beeindrucken ❤. Vorallem die vielen Stoffeinarbeitungen haben mich angesteckt, ebenfalls mehr mit Stoff zu arbeiten. Und ich finde du hast ein sehr großes Talent zur Schauspielerei. Ich finde all deine Szenen, in denen du mit ephi sprichst so überzeugend und ehrlich......so wie überhaupt deine ganzen Videos. Du machst für mich die ausgewogensten Junkjournals und Videos mit hohem schmunzeligen Unterhaltungswert. Mach weiter so. Liebe Barbara ich wünsche dir und deinen liebsten, auch deinen verstorbenen Eltern (das Tor zur magischen Welt ist zur zeit weit geöffnet) frohe und gesegnete Weihnachten 🎄 .....mögest du getragen sein von Liebe und Frohsinn. Alles Gute von der norddeutsche Stefanie, die nicht viel kommentiert, aber jedes deiner Videos schaut 🤗🤩

[@49dragonflies]

Vielen Dank für deine lieben Worte, Stefanie! ❤️ Ich wünsche dir und deiner Familie fröhliche Feiertage 🎄🥰

[@craftcreek4624]

Barbara, the little vintage iron…. Do you heat that up or just use the weight of it. I have quite a few of these but haven’t thought to use in crafting

[@49dragonflies]

I just use it for the weight. Give it a try! 😃❤️

[@allisonjames2923]

You have a few??? Soooo jealous!

[@nedleycat]

Hello from Seattle Washington, I ordered two of the books that you recommended the Taylor Reid and Lisa Gardner. Thank you for the recommendation.!

[@49dragonflies]

You’re welcome! I hope you enjoy them! I’m currently reading Malibu Rising by her. Loving it so far! 😊

[@veronicacarmody115]

I love Lisa Gardner, I’ve read all of her books. Enjoy!

[@wendyhurt4995]

The first signature , where you off loaded brayer on the two white pages, page on left looks like an older women sitting on a step.

[@jackyheath7958]

Hi Barbara great video showing your jhournal process. One question - what is the purpose of leaving the gusset at the bottom (was the side) of the bag? Or is it just to hold both papers together while you ate glueing / sewing? It puzzles me!

[@49dragonflies]

It strengthens the cover 😊
