I am a Southerner and love watching your videos. It is like hanging out with a dear friend. Thanks so much for sharing yourself!

[@ShannonGreen]

And thank YOU for watching!

[@christinewheeler4934]

Thank you for giving my mind permission to just PLAY! This is what I’ve been looking for. Thank you💕

[@LisaV751]

Gosh, I really love how you choose pictures just because, not sure what you’ll do yet. Eventually you’ll come up with something ! It gives me permission to do the same and I’ll start gluing them to something and then figure it out later!

[@ShannonGreen]

Yes! And when you find the perfect spot for an image you can pat yourself on the back for being smart enough to keep it!

[@CarolineontheHillside]

This is exactly how I love to create....I didn’t know what it was called, I love the freedom to glue, paint and create for no reason🥰

[@bloodlacerose1688]

You know I have been watching journal tutorials for a long time. I watch them because you can learn about so many different products, techniques and of course just get great inspiration. This is the first time I have ever sat and watched one and got that little light bulb above my head say AHA this is why people journal. For once I am actually inspired to make an art journal, it may or may not have words in it I don't know yet but I think it will have a little bit of everything I have learned in my journeys. This time I can say thank-you to someone for the inspiration to create the very thing the video is about, and not just the techniques. Thank-you and have a very lovely day!!

[@ShannonGreen]

Oh that makes me happy!! Thanks so much for watching!

[@dawnhenderson7159]

This is exactly me. I usually don’t have a rhyme or reason. It’s just for my enjoyment. ❤️. Love what you do

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks so much Dawn!

[@barbarahaviland9138]

This video is showing just what i journal for. I just love creating. Thanks you just supported my art.

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks for watching!

[@Samuena]

It's half past ten in the evening here when I live and I have no idea how I will fall asleep after seeing so many inspirations. Love your journals for no reason.

[@ShannonGreen]

Ha! Thanks for watching :)

[@susanmayfield5415]

Thank you Shannon. you have helped me so much. Your lack of fear and trepidation combined with free creative process is awesome. Mow I am eager to start journaling again.

[@ShannonGreen]

I am SO glad this was helpful for you!

[@dorisdonnerstagq9436]

Your journals for no reason videos are my very favorite!!!

[@ShannonGreen]

I'm so glad you enjoy them Doris!

[@reeree6036]

OMG, SHANNON!!! Splitting the paper!!! Peeling off one side to get use of BOTH!!! Freaking BRILLIANT! I love it! I have Wizard of Oz 12"×12" papers that I just couldn't use because it was doubled sided! Honestly, from my heart, FREAKING THANK YOU, AGAIN!!!!

[@ShannonGreen]

So glad this was helpful for you!

[@lleehome]

Sooooo. Have I told you lately that I love you. Your heart and attitude toward art and life just makes me happy! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ShannonGreen]

Oh thank you Linda, I appreciate that!

[@reeree6036]

ME, TOOOOO! SHANNON FLIPPING ROCKS!

[@suzyallen1726]

I'm watching this now during the pandemic. This is more needed now than ever. I always have a theme and think all the time about what I want to do but never do it. I am isolated and fearful of everything . So thanks for the inspiration !!

[@oscodagram44]

This is exactly what I had in my mind when I wanted to do art journaling. I’m an older lady that can’t get the idea out of my mind that I want to make something that gets the ideas out of my head. I want to make something that remotely resembles art. Thank you so much for your examples of journaling for no reason! I love you Shannon Green😍.

[@tamrawilliams7035]

Thank you, Shannon, for confirming that it is OKAY to make pages just cuz. I thought it was just me. I find it therapeutic to just paint and glue for no reason. I love your videos and your style!

[@ShannonGreen]

Oh Tamra, just come sit by me, we'd get along great!

[@simonettagenova]

I adore you for saying NO REASON WHICH IS the unique and real and most essential reason THANKS💕

[@ShannonGreen]

Ooohhh thank you Simonetta!

[@MrsPatJones]

Fabulous! I love your sense of humour and the way you focus on the fun not the end result. Reverse collaging too!!! Wow! I love it. Thank you so much - such inspiration, x

[@ShannonGreen]

So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

[@cherylbaker473]

I agree with you. Making journals should be fun and not having to work at it. I like the idea journal for no reason 😊

[@willowcounselingandctcp8194]

These journals are so inspiring! I get it…just for fun and I hear the joy in your voice as you flip through your creations! Thank you ❤

[@terrythreecatfarm3112]

I love the sound of crinkly pages!

[@TerriA545]

Thank you Shannon. I have missed watching you journal. I so hope that you start doing some more journaling pages.

[@ShannonGreen]

I definitely will, I'm on a JFNR kick now!

[@kathleenweigelt3183]

Thank you so much Shannon. You have inspired me no end. I've only just started creative journaling and your laid back attitude is great for me. Just have fun! Stick, paint, cut out, colour. Because of your influence, I'm not scared of the blank page. I just have fun. Thanks again and on inspiring.

[@ShannonGreen]

Oh I'm so happy to hear that Kathleen!

[@shellmo2863]

i love it when i see pages that i have in my own stash! as always....inspiring! love what you do!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks so much!

[@fishngnana68]

I agree about the journal for no reason. I loved pasting and gluing when i was little also. going to get me a book and get started. . Love the carefree concept

[@ShannonGreen]

So happy to hear that...do what brings you joy!

[@LittleWillie1000]

glad I'm not the only one who peels paper. so enjoy watching you

[@ShannonGreen]

Thank ya ma'am!

[@annjohnson9852]

I separate layers of paper, too, even photographs, greeting cards, brochures. Yes, sometimes it tears, and it does take care with thinner papers, but I prefer not having the bulk. Thank you for sharing everything you do.

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks for watching Ann!

[@dawnkarasaki6172]

Thanks Shannon, I like the randomness of these journals.

[@ShannonGreen]

So glad you enjoyed it Dawn!

[@beatekoether132]

Love! 💙 It‘s a great idea...no thinking, no rules and such great results.

[@ShannonGreen]

Just plain fun for fun's sake!

[@barbkolesnik9433]

Thanks for letting me know it's a real thing! Loving paper and glue and pages....using up scraps and stuff....no apparent reason!

[@ShannonGreen]

High five!!

[@DariceDavisjprocks94]

Hurrahs for your Chet Baker rendering -- love it. On my fav jazz trumpeters' list, he ranks in top grouping led by Miles Davis and Winton Marsalis. Your treatment captures the passion I've heard in his music! 🎶 🎵 Communication well received!

[@craftyangelchristine2005]

Beautiful journal great to use all that we just collect thanks for sharing .

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks for watching!

[@CindyUtter]

So fabulous! I love seeing your journals! I could watch you flip thru them all day! Thank you for sharing Shannon!

[@ShannonGreen]

And a huge thanks to you and Gina for inviting me to the group and inspiring me to get into these journals again!

[@pennysugas3240]

You are such a hoot to listen to! I love watching you & needed this fix so much during this awful pandemic. Tfs & making my night! 🤪

[@ShannonGreen]

You are so very welcome!

[@jacciford]

I love your messiness🙂 I too don’t know where I’m going sometimes nor would I call myself an artist. I just like seeing what you do..what artist do...heck I just like color. You feed my cravings for everything creative. Love it and most of all thanks!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks so very much for watching!

[@christierella]

The peal of double sided card stock...to use both sides! Genious!

[@ShannonGreen]

Just doubled our paper supply!

[@verafilindeng1995]

I love your journals for no reason, Shannon! And I like your process. I have 2 jfnr and they are very important to me now that my hands are bad. I want to create, but I´m not able to do big, finished art journal pages. But I can do a small something in my jfnr and there´s no pressure. So thank you so much! Fia, xx

[@ShannonGreen]

And thank YOU for watching, Fia!

[@frigg74]

I LOVE your "journals for no reason" videos :D

Thanks for watching Nicky!

[@reginaread8786]

I can always count on you to get me inspired and get my mojo going. Halfway through watching this I pulled out my box of magazine images and started matching this to that, and finding bits and bobs. Thank You as always for being you!!

[@ShannonGreen]

Oh I'm so glad this sparked a little inspiration!!

[@Manifesting_Secret_Sketchbook]

Sound like fun- how you are alright and doing something fun from time to time

[@SoulEscapeHealing]

I loved watching your video and you made me laugh which is always fun. You reminded me of what I used to do as a child. I made books like this. (wish I still had them) I still save and tear out elements with the "I could do something with these" mentality. You have inspired me to be mindful of the "arty perfectionist" who gets in the way of just having fun, gluing and painting! Thank you.

[@ShannonGreen]

I am so glad this was helpful for you!

That piece you made with the trumpet 🎺 player was amazing. Simply genius

Classic Shannon Green. You make everything so much fun and continue to be a huge inspiration to me.

[@ShannonGreen]

Oh thank you my friend!!

[@kaotickrafter]

I can't love this video enough!! I love the term "journaling for no reason." One of my favorite things to do is glue stuff to other stuff- no rhyme, no reason (though often times a rhyme or reason emerges). Thank you for sharing this!

[@ShannonGreen]

Yes! You get it! Just come sit by me, we’re BFFs already.

[@kaotickrafter]

Thank you Sue!

[@helenaurelius-haddock4695]

I am so on the same page as you! I really struggled with the entire journalling thing until I just let go, and did things that pleased me, and it's so very therapeutic! Thanks for sharing Shannon!

[@ShannonGreen]

High five sista!!

[@helenaurelius-haddock4695]

I have finally found the way to fuse my endless painty papers and my love of collage and glue booking...I took your example of the planet background, and used paint (in my sacred no paint collage book) and WOW! it works and it's SO easy! I always overthink things and have spent so much time trying to "plan" pages,...now I won't any more!

[@sarahguest6699]

You are cool:) Thanks for sharing yourself with us!

[@debbieleecraftygoose4395]

I love this video. This has to be 2-3 time watching. Love it and you are using what looks like the same paper in the upcoming workshop you have!! Oh my! How I wished I could be there.

[@ShannonGreen]

I sure do appreciate you taking the time to watch!

[@CraftingVicky]

so love those journals that you do!!!! :) And yes we all need the journals for no reason!!!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks Vicky!

[@Renee-Suzanne]

Are you this infectious off camera too? I bet you are! Thanks for sharing your creativity!

[@ShannonGreen]

I'm actually a rather shy person which is probably why I like making videos...I get to interact with people without actually interacting with them! LOL

[@brendacollinsdeeks7268]

This is just what I needed. I've been paralyzed with the prospect of starting a journal page because I don't know what it needs to look like completely. But if I can just start with one or two layers and then wait until I stumble across the right thing to add it will take all that pressure off. Thank you so much!

[@ronjasolvalravn9740]

Love how you inspered me to beginn to paint and collage... You are my favorit Art Maker ❤️❤️❤️

[@natividadmarinez]

Thank you for sharing your ideas, I have a lot of scraps that I do not want to get rid of them, so now you gave me a wonderful idea. Thanks a lot.

[@ShannonGreen]

Problem solved!

[@coachschwab53]

So looking forward to the video on how your organization is in magazine and clippings

[@ShannonGreen]

I just finished filming it and will schedule it to upload probably on Friday :)

[@EmiLou.Arts320]

I love watching you Journal for no reason! I have tried doing it with a magazine and it just turned into a slippery pile of wet paint pages. I even tried wax paper in between. Not sexy. Thanks for the inspiration!!😊

[@ShannonGreen]

Don’t give up!!

[@dawnkarasaki6172]

Wonderful ideas.Thank you Shannon.

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks for watching Dawn!

oh my goodness I wanted to jump through the screen and glue down all those backgrounds!! So gorgeous and inspiring!!! Thank you for sharing Sharon

[@ShannonGreen]

I know how you feel! THey make me happy just looking at them, I don't even have to do anything with them :)

[@ilovetobemom]

Shannon, I love your freedom. I need to become the same "Free"

[@ShannonGreen]

You can do it!

[@priskateijo]

You are hands down my favorite art KZbinr. I do exactly what you just said, journal for no reason and I was having a hard time with the not having 'topics' or themes to journal about. I too enjoy so much just glueing things, my heart raises when I start and I too enjoy it like a child which is the most incredible part. Thank you for sharing 💖... by the way I love your laugh 😁

[@marilyncarlson7097]

this was so eye-opening to me. I'd never thought of or seen anyone just paint over parts of a magazine image that was unwanted. How many possibilities that opens up. And I thought I was GOOD at looking outside the box. Been needing something to loosen me up so I can have more fun with the process. I have just been fussing and worrying too much, I can see that. Others talk about it, but you SHOWED me here. Thank you very much.

[@ShannonGreen]

I’m so glad this was helpful for you!

[@susanferris]

I am so excited by this video. I think it would do me a world of good to enjoy the process and stop worrying about the finished product. I can't wait to watch what you post next but until then I will be journaling for no reason! Thanks...susan

Lovely Shannon! Thanks again!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks for watching!

[@angiegal71]

A kindred spirit!!! This is exactly how I "journal"...I don't know what it is about cutting up one book/magazine to create another one, but it is so much cheaper than therapy!! It is SO STINKIN' FUN!!!!! I have about 6 journals going at one time...I have recently started creating small mini journals. I find alot of images that I like that are small/tiny and sometimes can get lost on a larger page, so I have really been enjoying my mini journals for all the smaller images I collect. And now, I am using old 3 ring binder cookbooks or gardening books to make journals. (stolen from the "rebookery" channel...check her out if you have never watched her...amazing stuff over there!) It is one way to solve the "use both sides of the page" dilemma.

[@ShannonGreen]

I'm with you, cheaper than therapy and safer than crack! ;)

[@WasteSomeTimeWithMaggie]

Your page is so cool, I love your journals for know reason, tfs Shannon

[@ShannonGreen]

Thank you Maggie!

[@aurorarodriguez9500]

omg i can't believe i found someone who journals like i do!!! i am a magazine addict - just cause i love the images and recreating them into something else and/or just for gluing into a book! i recently retired and am finding my art mojo again (and all my hoarded stash of images, magazines, etc.). i'll be catching up on your videos as i create. love this!

[@MariasMiscellany]

This is totally up my alley! I've been making greeting cards out of old children's books and I have tons of little scraps that are too beautiful to throw out. I've been looking at junk journal videos wanting to start one but I'm impatient so I think this is perfect for me. I can feel like I'm done with a page if I just glue stuff I like to it. Genius! :-)

[@ShannonGreen]

Gluing stuff rocks my world too!

[@MariasMiscellany]

Shannon Green I'm so excited I actually recorded a video of myself doing my first page! If you have some time I'd love for you to check it out 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2G3o3qCltZgg8U

Been missing you & I'm glad to see you smushing the stuff around again! Yeah, the Peeling Thing! There's some textural difference between the print/ink surface & whatever is behind it--many many things WILL peel--even some cool printed images on corrugated cardboard boxes! Ha! Loved seeing your waxed papers kept in your Tool Keeper! Thanks for everything! Looking forward to the Next Journals for No Reason.

[@ShannonGreen]

I sure do appreciate you taking the time to watch!

[@btoth31]

This is great, I love your process. I do art journaling, but a lot of the stuff I do doesn’t have a plan or a reason. I just love getting in the paint, ink and texture paste and whatever stuff I can get my hands on. People ask me, now what are you going to do with it? I say, I already did it. The fun of doing it was the whole idea. I don’t even like to show my stuff to people because they always say, why don’t you make something to hang on the wall? That’s not what it’s for. It’s therapeutic and enjoyable to just mess around with stuff. The minute I “try” to make something for a reason, I think too much and it ruins it for me. Thanks for the ideas! Now to go to my paper stash and start pulling some double sided paper apart! Great tip,

[@ShannonGreen]

We are soul sisters!

Just LOVE this concept, I too suffer from art journal complete perfection silliness. And forget that making paint papers or gluing is something I want to do or can do and yet I feel like it's not enough, what b.s. is that, doh! This reminds me to just do what gives me joy! Perhaps a monthly/or seasonal video butt kicking reminder that we all need to just chill out and PLAY SIMPLE & with joy. You could be the no reason, just do it before I have to kick your hinny people, lady that saves us from ourselves. You know, just to keep us all in the vibe of just have fun!! lol 😘💜😘

[@ShannonGreen]

LOL Oh, that cracked me up!!

[@DariceDavisjprocks94]

Yeah, I second that! Do it for no purpose other than you feel like it and makes you feel good -- finished pieces have their own intrinsic meaning. That meaning is not my focus as I do art. The results speak for themselves. I receive the joy in playing -- adult play! Fun, fun!
