Junk Journal Snacks #3 - Bitesized Inspiration For Your Journal!

[@lucyfanning7496]

Junk Journal snacks are my favourites. Love that you are using so many of the beautiful supplies from Debbie's generous gift.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Lucy! ❤️

TFS what you call junk journal “snacks!“ I think that’s the first time I’ve never heard ephemera called snacks but I love it! It’s a perfect description. I so, so love the tag you made and where you slipped it into the journal! Like you, I love using my Tim Holtz paper dolls. I did find that I was not using the smallest ones very often as they would fall to the bottom of the place I was storing them. So I glued a strong magnet to the back of a metal 3 inch container I bought at the dollar tree; the container has a clear lid so I can see what is inside. I have a three-tier metal cart beside my crafting chair and table so that is where the paper doll container now resides. I can easily see the smallest of my paper dolls and yes, I am using them much more. 🐝🐝🐝

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Gaila! I’m happy you are using them more now! ❤️😃👍🏻

Aaaw thanks so much Maria! ❤️

[@carolstern3647]

Im not quite sure why Barbara...but I cried at the end after you completed the tag..💗(happy heartfelt tears)💗.. And I think its because your creativity, and the sentiment you put into your work moves me so much..I love all your collage compositions...they excite, inspire and challenge me...love, love..x💗 Thank you once again, for bringing your creative love to us all.. mwahs!!!💗😘😘😘💗

Cute tag reminding you of a special person. Her happy mail would make anyone smile. I so love your color palette in this journal.

Thanks so much Marsha! ❤️

[@naomigreen6957]

I have that hole reinforcer punch too. It's so annoying, I agree. I wish anyone else made a better version, but unfortunately it's the only one I've ever found. Here's hoping someone realizes our lack! 😆

[@roksannastephens4375]

Awh, I'm surely enjoying these Sunday snack videos. Always great tips and such beautiful page layouts. Ty Barbara!

What a wonderful tribute to Debbie for giving you all those lovely supplies. Love the view master with the words and then the representation of the ladies being you and Debbie. TFS Barbara! ❤️

Thanks so much Pam! ❤️

[@evonnenidras270]

This was really lovely!! But the highlight for me was hearing you say “it’s crap!” 😂😂😂 I love your honesty... it’s refreshing! 🥰

[@49dragonflies]

Haha thanks! 😃

[@heatherreid9787]

One of my favourite snacks yet, I love revisiting your snack videos when I need a bit of a journaling boost. The combination of the gold with that soft duck egg blue is so pretty. The tag and the way you used the half-round piece with the letters is brilliant. Thank you again for a wonderfully inspiring video.

[@debbiev.1311]

LOVE what you did w/ the viewmaster reel, & the tag that shows your appreciation for Debbie & the special gifts she sent you!! SO BEAUTIFUL!! 💖🤗💖

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Debbie! ❤️

[@nancypyter1511]

Always love seeing you add to this gorgeous journal Barbara!

[@KateriBurnett]

Barbara oh my gosh you had me rolling with laughter. I don’t like that punch either. Wonderful layout. Love the colors.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much! ❤️

[@whitneykosters9102]

Dress My Craft has a hole reinforcement punch that is good. It has 2 holes in one, one round & one looks like hardware because it has 5 sides

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for the tip! 😃👍🏻

[@teresemartinez6215]

A great reminder that it doesn't take long to be creative in your joutnal.

[@49dragonflies]

Exactly! 😃❤️

[@debiv7834]

I love these so much! I need to go back to your first video and binge watch everything! ❤️❤️

[@caroltanzi29]

Barbara: I’m glad you are keeping us in the loop as far as Debbie is concerned. I was just thinking about her and wondered how she is doing. I hope you keep us up to date. I believe she was from California and had a health issue and had to give up crafting. You are doing her proud with working your creative magic in your journal. She certainly gifted the right artist with her materials and such. This page and card is fabulous. Carol from California

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaw, thanks so much for your kind words, Carol. I haven’t heard from Debi in a while. I hope she is doing ok! ❤️

[@debbiecarter6430]

Lovely Barbara. You’re absolutely right about that punch.

[@denisegardner2373]

What a tasty snack. Really satisfying. Haha. What a wonderful tribute to Debbie. I absolutely love your detail work and how you explain your process. Thanks for sharing the idea of sanding the TH doll to better accept ink. Never would have thought of that. TFS 😉

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Denise! I’m happy to share any tips! 😊❤️

[@gigidtx]

just a lovely tag to celebrate

[@beautybug1831]

Beautiful spread, and most of all - what a wonderfull friendly gesture 🥰 !!! I truly hope Debbie is okay and feeling much better. Oh, just a thought, Barbara, If I can suggest you send Debbie the link to this wonderful video. From my experience, there's nothing better to improve the mood when you're not in good health and you realize that... Someone's thinking about you... 💖💖💖 I'm sure she'll be grateful! Love, Liat 😘

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you my friend! That’s a good idea! I will do that! ❤️

[@rosijung8085]

Hallo Barbara, diese Serie ist wundervoll! Manchmal ist gerade keine Zeit an "großen" Dingen zu arbeiten, da sind diese "Häppchen" ganz tolle Alternativen. Vielen Dank für die Inspirationen! LG Rosi

[@49dragonflies]

Danke liebe Rosi! ❤️

[@anettebrogaard]

so now im starting all over, seeing all the snacks... love them. this one i have seen several times. THANKS

[@marybrown2545]

What a beautiful tag ! And the film real with dream on it was brilliant! I’m sure Debbie will love this when she sees it ! I hope she’s well , I think all of us keep her in our thoughts! Be safe and big hugs 🦋

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Mary! I haven’t heard from Debi in a while and so hope she is ok! ❤️

[@kandrews6356]

Just a little FYI and maybe a little helper for any punch you may have. I've used paper punches a lot and was given a tip once that I have never forgotten. Punches get old and used and after a while they get dull. SOOOOOO... to 'SHARPEN' them (a paper punch), take heavy duty aluminum foil and fold it over a couple of times - or more, depending on whatever will fit for the particular punch you are going to sharpen. Then punch through the foil numerous times. Also, paper punches need to be 'LUBRICATED' too (no, not with moisture... LOL). To lubricate them, take wax paper (it is called wax paper in the USA - it may be called something else in another country) and do the same thing. Fold it over numerous times, depending on whatever will fit for the particular punch you are going to lubricate. Then, punch through the wax paper numerous times. I recommend 'lubricating' the punch AFTER you 'sharpen' the punch. Whether this will help your particular punch you used in this video, I'm not sure, but I think it will help any punch you have and keep them punching 'cleanly' and smoothly. Hope this helps.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much for your advice! ❤️

[@1771bubba]

Every time you open this Journal, I feel so peaceful! Lol… (yeah, I seriously want to say I hear Angels singing, but I won’t so we’ll just leave that here in these parentheses)…. Lol. It’s the colors. They’re so soft and calming. Love, love, love it. Good job!!

[@49dragonflies]

Hahaha 😂 ❤️

Thanks so much! ❤️

[@jens.106]

You are so right, Barbara! That Memory Keepers punch is crap!

[@JessicaHarris]

Love this snack! I also bought that punch and found it useless… now I use a small circle punch and a hole punch..

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Sounds like a better solution! 😃❤️

[@grahamfox931]

Hello Barbara, what a lovely snack. The tag is beautiful and the colours are super pretty. This was a wonderful Happy Mail Debbie sent, she is kindness personified and must be a wonderful person to know. The hole punch you have has been complained about sooooo many times, it is a wonder that the manufacturers don't do something about them, recall them (like they do some motor vehicles when faulty) and replace it with something that does work. Quite a few of the ladies have also complained about theirs, so it is DEFINATLEY a manufacturing problem. Anyway, it didn't detract from a wonderful page and tag. Thank you for sharing with us and as always, Blessings and hugs. Diana

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks again Diana! Good to know it’s bot just me 😃❤️

[@sidegigcrafts]

The tag is perfection and that journal… WOW!!! You have got an amazing piece of art there!! GORGEOUS!!! 😍😍😍

[@labgirlreed]

As I watched this video I thought about all the things I've learned since I started following your channel. If it weren't for you and other artists sharing your technique most of us would just be wondering what to do next. I have made coffee dyed paper like you showed us and they turned out beautifully...I just love adding the color splotches! I also have a few old view-master reels somewhere in my stash, so I'll have to try your cute little idea, too. Thanks so much for the Snacks! So much fun!
