Layered Paper Bag Junk Journal/Process Video Part 2/Digital Collage Club DT Project

[@PatWalden]

I have been following you for nearly two years Barbara and thank you so much for sharing your talent and your creativity with us.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for your support all this time! ❤️

[@BigGrannydb]

I love that you push yourself forward - in spite of believing it will be difficult. because .... JUST LOOK at what you created! Simply gorgeous & imho - very clearly your style - all you! Your talent knows NO LIMITS! Glad you have found an awesome fit - a creative life that not only benefits you - but totally inspires the rest of us! Always a thrill to watch your videos - especially the authentic giggles that accompany them! Keep being you - there will never be a substitute.

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw I’m touched by your kind feedback! Thanks so much, Debbe! ❤️

[@denisebrown4933]

Barbara, I appreciate that you didn’t edit out the struggle you had with this journal. For me it helps to know that even people like you, who I know are capable of producing real works of art, are sometimes unsure of themselves and their work. I loved that you knew when to lay the piece aside for a bit, but then came back with the attitude that nothing would be accomplished by letting the work lay around and just thinking about it. You are so right that sometimes you just have to start, and inspiration will come. And just look, you made another work of art! Thank you for all you’ve shared this year. I am so happy to have found your channel and I wish you all the good stuff in 2022!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much for your kind feedback, Denise! Happy 2022! ❤️

[@dalenenielson1868]

Sitting in my chair, eating chocolate covered pretzels and loving the way you layered the journal!! Hugs, Dalene from Utah

[@minkaf4243]

I love the sound of this book… ASMR. It reminds me of the sound of stepping on leaves in the forest.

[@janetstubbington583]

I knew it! I knew you would do something beautiful with this and, even though you aren't finished, I can see you peeping out from so many of these lovely pages. And I agree, that tree is wonderful. I can't wait for next week.

[@joytjoelker8767]

You have shown us your heart again. It is beautiful! Thank you for being real and keeping the doubtfulness as part of your videos. My grateful thanks for taking us along your adventure.

[@Wendekind68]

Dear dear dear Barbara! What a wonderful human being you are! Your creative journeys are really philosophical life lessons and I LOVE your personality! You are so sweet, empathic, for yourself but also the birds and foxes and other creatures that apear in your world. On paper or otherwise. And although you seem like a really calm, soft person, you soldier on, and push yourself gently over boundries. SO very very very inspiring. So strong to put that kind of vulnerable site online, thank you for all this inspiration, both creatively but surely personally.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much for your kind feedback! ❤️

[@MaureenAstrid]

The moment you started tearing the papers, adding them in a collage like manner, it instantly turned into Barbara style 🥰 magical to see. I love where this is going, looking forward to part 3. Hugs sweetie 😘😘😘🙋🏼‍♀️

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much sweetie! I got a bit anxious there! Hugs! ❤️🥰

[@toniscott1029]

I really love this journal, and it is already uniquely yours! Frankly, I'd love to see you fill the pockets, 10 episodes or not! 😊❤

[@janetedens]

There you go. I just knew you would make it yours. I think we all have that difficulty sometimes. I love what it is turning into. Exciting, exciting. Yes, let us celebrate life and craft as much as we can. Have a great day.

[@junkjournalgeek]

Love how this is coming along Barbara - I had every confidence that you would make it work! And thank YOU for bringing crafty happiness into our worlds every week with your videos 😘

[@LindaMZH65]

I love the sound the bags make, this is beautiful. 😘

[@jacquelineagular8555]

I love the crunchiness!!!! Anticipating the next episode!!!!

[@susanmorales8675]

It amazes me to see what you have done with a stack of paper bags! I am so happy for you that you are able to do the work that fulfills you. The satisfaction that you experience is evident in your creations. I feel so blessed to have found you as you are having an impact on my life and what I am now creating. For this I truly thank you.

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much! That is very touching! ❤️

[@bonnietyler5338]

It worked! I love the way this project is turning out. Thank you for the pep talk about just forging on when things look impossible. I needed that.

[@grahamfox931]

Morning Barbara, what a good idea to use up the paper bags. It already looks beautiful with all the woodland animals and the natural elements. Love the Fox family, they are sooo cute. The whole journal is looking really good already and I can't wait to see the next "adventure in the forest." Blessings as always, stay safe and well Diana

[@bollenhutart]

Liebe Barbara, alleine schon das Geräusch, welches dieses Journal macht ist zum dahinschmelzen. Auch wenn du bissl gehadert hast auf dem Weg hat es nach und nach deinen wunderbaren Stil angenommen ❤️ Liebe Grüßle Susanne

[@marybrown2545]

Great job with the bag journal! I do see your style peeping through.. Thank you all do ! 🦋

[@DeniseS-6867]

I am happy for you that you are able to do what you love and be able to enjoy it everyday. This bag journal is wonderful just love the kit your using. Thanks for sharing.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Denise! ❤️

[@darlenecalander335]

So happy to be taken along on your paper journal journey Barbara😍. I love every part of this journal...all the scrumptious layers, the wonderful wrinkly sounds, my favorite aesthetic of nature and and the cute forest animals. I am lucky enough to live in the country and regularly have the fortune of seeing deer, fox, rabbits, woodchucks and lots of birds: all so near and dear to my heart. Even though you said this wasn't your comfort zone, your awesome artistic ability shone brightly💥💥💥💥❣My biggest take away from your inspiring example was to keep going and trying! Perseverance no matter the bumps...important to me in MANY ways and is so encouraging. Thank you from the bottom of my heart dear Barbara for sharing⚘🌿⚘🌿⚘!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much for your kind feedback! ❤️

[@luiseheinzl]

Wow, I honestly haven't expected this outcome when you started this project! It's absolutely amazing!

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you Luise! Means a lot when you say that! ❤️🥰

[@annday2169]

Even your struggles turn out beautifully! I love watching the process, thanks for bringing us along! Your videos always make me smile😊 Have a happy and safe New Year!

[@lindahigham5317]

Good morning 👋☺️49 dragonflies 🌹 Your paper bag project is just beautiful now that's it's almost alll done I love the crinkly sound and how all the colours look together now congrats stay safe and be careful 🙏✍️🖌️🎨💌🌹👋 enjoy your week too 👍🦄💌

[@Paperlover123]

So, so beautiful, Barbara!!!!❤❤❤

[@daylconstance7772]

My first ever junk journal was made of paper lunch bags and I still love it, but your use of different size and color bags raises this technique exponentially! I love the richness of textures and colors you use and so appreciate your sharing your artistry for us to enjoy! ❤️

[@sherriewoods9538]

I was excited to see what you did next with this project! It’s pretty cool!

[@magosiabroda3332]

Dear Barbara, you do such beautiful things... I like very much your amaizing sense of style. I'm a scraper for several years. I like it, but for some time I started to get bored. In scrapbooking everything is too "decent" - straight lines, accuracy, measuring to the millimeter... Now I'm starting to discover junk journaling world. Your films help me with it very much and I see junk journaling is my cup of coffee. I also like Martina from my country very much. Thank you, all the best!

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you! It’s great to switch it up once in a while 😊. Thanks for your kind feedback! ❤️

[@caroltanzi29]

Barbara: this paper bag journal is really interesting. It has caught my attention. I need to find all my decorative paper bags. I know I have some. Haha Carol from California

[@donnakinmn1683]

In the first video you were struggling and you started this one kind of tentative. Once you started decorating your voice got excited and you really started moving. It was fun to watch that evolution. This is going to be an amazing journal.

[@Lorikneisler]

I love this, and you’re right, staggering the bags really invites me in!

[@oshratmaidanchik246]

I knew you would make something amazing and beautiful you have to stop undermine your self and your big talent ❤

[@JacquouilleLaFripouille]

Hi Barbara, I love watching your videos. I always get excited about trying new things and get out of my comfort zone. I am also discovering my style. I am more scientific than artistic and I am discovering a new me that I didn’t know existed.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Lisa, that’s awesome! ❤️

[@janebrown7857]

This journal is coming along nicely! 🪶I see your style in every page!

[@chaselip]

This is very pretty and grungy now and can't wait to see how it turns out💌💌💌

[@sherrys8615]

I love what you're doing with this journal. I can see it starting to look like you. Needs some gold splatters! I really liked the bags you painted, too. So cool!

[@danacolosimo5874]

Wow Barbara love this paper bag journal 😍😍❤️❤️ love the paper and the sound of it ❤️❤️❤️ TFS 😘😘😘😘😘

[@melindap.ullrich4564]

I really love wilderness/forest theme you have In your journal. I love the feel and the noise those bags have but I would never have chosen them together to make a journal. The color of the bags go great with paper and other elements you used, it looks wonderful Barbara.

[@roksannastephens4375]

Pretty awesome. When you have pretty awesome papers, journals definitely turn out nice.

[@maryjones107]

Yes indeed I love them to I love the club 💙 😍 Thank you

[@RobinfromCA]

This looks fabulous! These are some of the print outs from the Digital Collage Club that I'm using in my winter journal. I love them!

[@jolajolcia2342]

I love your ability to put different images together and everything looks perfect. I guess is not about matching is more about flowing from one page to another with right image. Just beautiful 😍 I definitely have lot to learn😊

[@debiv7834]

So beautiful, each and each page! ❤️😘👏🏻

[@youcancreatetoo6058]

Oh Barbara! This is so much fun!

[@terrilarue2031]

Love what you do! Love you show your troubles in crafting also!!!!!

[@ritagenz1519]

Good morning, dear Barbara! Oh, I am so sorry, that I don‘t have such thin lovely sounded paper backs! I am so in love with the outfit and the sound! And of course what you have done with them! Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for recommend the Digital Collage Club! I have bought me a lifetime membership and I am so happy with it! The two Journal Kits are waiting for me in a box. I fear, I can‘t wait, until I have enough paper bags! 😉 Love from Rita

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Rita! The Club is really great! You can also make your own paper bags! ❤️

[@barbmccreary7570]

I am loving this journal,the crinkle sound is so so scrumptious! also want to say I knew you could do it (put your spin on it). The images from the digital collage club are awesome. And so is your giggle.

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw thanks so much Barb! ❤️

[@carolschneider8589]

Barbara, this is so precious! I just love the way you chose to use these beautiful kits with the animals and nature. This truly is your style. The colors really make it for me! Maybe I'll get the mojo to try one of these paper bag journals. I'm inspired. Carol Schneider

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Carol! I’m happy you feel inspired! ❤️

[@threeoakstitcher4496]

Love love this! The big challenge is finding paper bags.

[@49dragonflies]

You can always make your own or check Etsy ❤️

[@veronicawhite398]

And you were worried you wouldn't figure it out...happy new year, kiddo!!

[@robinknutson8765]

This is a lovely piece. So love the animal friends

[@artisanstitch]

Love this project. Now I know why I’ve been saving all those paper bags so I guess I have to try it. I’m also happy to be making my living through my passion, having also been burnt out by corporate jobs. Thank you for your inspiration.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Happy you made it as well! ❤️😃

[@tonyashatley5040]

Turned out beautiful! Thanks for always sharing your wonderful ideas!

[@tuthillg]

So beautiful and it must feel like such an accomplishment moving out of your comfort zone! TFS the inspiration!

[@gurkmeja2021]

Soooo much loveliness! All the pages looks beautiful. Totally agree with you regarding birds and cages. I would never use an image with a bird in a cage. /Ditte

[@JessicaHarris]

Very cool idea - I like how all the images layer up. It will be fun to make booklets at tags to go in the pockets too!

[@debbivaughn1313]

I hope your 2022 has started out beautifully and will continue the same.🥰🤗 This journal turned out adorable and it sounds cool too.👍👍

[@robinm6967]

This turned out very beautifully! I really like that you introduce me to a new way to attach my journal pages! I was stuck with two I was working on. So I put them aside! Now I can finish them! You have a fantastic style! Thanks for all your sharing! I am so glad to see you are able to do what you love!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much for your kind feedback, Robin! ❤️

[@sunsh1ne539]

I’m adding this to my list for this year! So, so cute!

[@sandrasimard1808]

Barbara, I really love it ,such a great piece 🤗❤❤

[@SunDragonPaperNLace]

Beautiful job Barbara! Loving it!

[@ilind2021]

I really enjoyed watching these episodes, this was really 😊💕 TFS fun project

[@yvonnesaunders550]

How fun. This is beautiful. I, too, love nature themes. I really like the way some of those lovely bags can still be seen, and become part of the collages. You have a gift. Thanks for sharing it. 🤗💖

[@evelynrauseo467]

You are Midas. Everything you touch is golden! Love this. Love the papers you used. TFS 🙏💞

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw ❤️☺️

[@lindawinchell7346]

Suggestion on the spine issue. I'd take a plastic tubing or even a pool noodle, slice it to fit over the spine,and glue it down .

[@judiemjacobson4613]

Barbara we love you. And love the work that you do you are so inspiring I've adapted so many things that you do in my own junk Journal Journey. Many blessings to you and your hubby in the year 2022

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Judie! Happy 2022! ❤️

[@msbecky]

Happy New Year!!! May your year be filled with love, happiness and good fortune!!!! Thank for all you have taught me through the past couple months, I loved watching you and Luise everyday!!! I find I’m much more willing to try something new after watching it, you don’t know until you do try and it’s only paper so I can learn from mistakes and hopefully create something cool from them too… I love how this book is coming along ..I couldn’t picture it at all to begin with lol

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much and Happy 2022! ❤️

[@emmkaa2099]

Baby girl, this is gettin' better 'n' better! I finished a big project for a friend and though I'm supposed to be "redoing my craft room" (🙄 ...the heck does that even mean? I mean, REALLY!?!) I pulled some papers out the other day, folded 'em up, stared at them for 20 minutes, got a headache, and put 'em all away. Guess my "just start" mojo couldn't... start, I mean. I'm off to see what vid #3 has in store for me. Two thousand and twenty two hugs, MomK

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks MomK! Good luck with your craft room and Happy 2022! ❤️

[@sandraadamson4944]

This paper bag journal is really lovely and by the time your finished it will be awesome.

[@stacyola]

You did an amazing job. It looks beautiful.

[@Samreen0987]

Wowww unique job! its getting the Barbara's charm gradually! I also want to try this style! I can already imagine mine with lace and buttons!😄(perhaps you can add these too)

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks sweetie! Lace and buttons would be cute, but not sure I want it on this style 😊❤️

[@lucyfanning7496]

This is beautiful. I just love your channel.

[@pauletteliddell2923]

[@helenosullivan1191]

You have such beautiful paper bags to start with lol …… do love your work and sharing it with us as you do…. Thankyou Happy New Year dear Barbara xxx

[@mmonr]

This is coming together beautifully. Love the layers and the interesting images peeking out from them. Looking forward to watching what you do next to it. Happy New Year to you as well.

[@catherinekelly8097]

This would make a great prompt journal for writing. Even at 28 pages: what a great sit down for each day to spark some words of wisdom, creativity or just "art" time...The writings are easily created on a piece of any kind of paper and slipped into each bag...

[@49dragonflies]

Great idea! 😃❤️

[@shrnybg]

Your journal is absolutely beautiful. I dont think just every one could do that. You have such a talent for what you do. I think seeing your struggles has helped me. I do the same exact thing and get so frustrated. I also joined the digital collage club Can’t wait!!!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Sharon! I’m sure you will have so much fun with those digitals! ❤️😃

[@heatherb7491]

This beginning to take shape, it’s looking really awesome. Much luv xx

[@evelynhughes951]

A great beginning! Hope your new year is starting well! Many blessings.

Happy New Year to you and your hubby 💕🎉✨ Love the images peeking out from the layers 💕 looking forward to the next episode 😍 TYFS Lots of love ✨💕

[@francescab5047]

Hi, it’s a fantastic idea, it is easy, but take a long time. But it s good. Thanks.

[@joycemcdonald1381]

Love the way you can make anything look awesome. I will be on a paper bag hunt for sure.

[@nairafoganholi6563]

Barbara, this paper bag is turning out so gorgeous! I love it! I feel motivated to try my own! Thank you so much for sharing! Happy new year! ♥️

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Naira! Have fun with this and Happy 2022! ❤️

[@jeandetrick9960]

Love this Barbara, I’m going to give it a try! Love your videos too!

[@inesdias793]

Love all you do. Watch all your videos and love the way you share with us what you feel when you are doing your projects. It helps me so much. I am very thankful... I am all ready trying to do something like this project, in my country we don't have access to this variety of beautiful paper bag but I will find a way to solve that 😉. I wish a creative and beautiful 2022 🤩😘

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Ines! You can make your own! 😃❤️

[@gmdickman]

Love the grunge! I had to get a new printer and took advantage of the free in from HP and got myself a lifetime membership to the Digital Collage Club. . I NEED that butterfly! I love the site but it can be hard to find what you are looking for even if you have the name.

[@pambotter365]

Barbara, I want to join the club. Will do it soon and use your link. Love this project. The sound is yummy! I’m partial to the little squirrel, we have so many in our back yard. They are fun to watch. All the envelopes turned out so pretty. TFS! ❤️

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Pam! ❤️

[@cindyharrington7246]

Lovely as usual.❤️

[@PTPenny]

I am loving this journal I am wanting a cover. Lol. Tied up in a sweet little package. I have issues - just ignore me 😉
