[@SilverPennyArtisans]

Thank you

[@hannahwalker7221]

Yes, there is pressure to do things in certain ways. Consequently individualism is lost. For me, I hate “fall colors” (orange yellow red brown) until I actually observed fall colors, which are more greens and blues with torches of orange red and gold. My roses and Russian sage are still in raging bloom, so bright pinks and purples too. I am re examining what commercially is Autumn, and what autumn means to me. I think this is why you are my favorite artist in the journal genre, you still have the pioneer spirit that is the heart of junk journaling!

[@joiedefi]

Wow, I don't know what to say 😁💜💜

I feel that I need stuff to do stuff...I have a completely full craft room but I buy soooo many digitals and art products for my projects that I’m just swimming in things! This definitely interferes with my creativity and takes a ton of my time with organization...I’m going to try to work with what I have for a bit and I think I’ll be able to create a ton more ... You brought me back to reality..I was in a swirl! Thanks😍

Hello Joie! Thank you for making this video with such kind and gentle content. Creating is about having fun and becoming free. I have the tendency to adopt a perfectionist and rigid approach to most of what I do. This is a kind reminder of what using my watercolors and all my art supplies is all about. You got me into having fun with art supplies. Thank you for that. :) I appreciate the time and effort you put into making videos and the fun content in them.

[@joiedefi]

Thank you....and I totally understand what you mean.. breaking out from the rules and allowing ourselves to play is so important.... enjoy!! Joie 💜

I’ve watched hundreds of altered book, junk journal videos, and what you said at 21:43 through 22:04 REALLY HIT HOME FOR ME! Finally, I feel like this altered book project example is something I can do for me, choosing random ideas as they come to me, NO rules (btw I ❤️ when you say no rules 😊), and I am so excited to begin this project! I really enjoy your content. Ty for all the ideas, and encouragement to explore our own style that we may not even know yet.

My daughter gave me a journal with lined pages in it. So I'm going to use this to make what you're doing. I'm going to paint, collage, and add tags and flips and folds. It looks like such fun. I can write on it ...what I've been doing or just my thoughts. 💙🦋🤗🤗🤗

Thanks Annette, that's very kind of you! 👍🏻😊

[@missyb.623]

TFS! Finding your style is so challenging and can be disabling sometimes. I do a lot of paper crafting and I do enjoy the vintage look but I have started doing something most of the crafters I watch do NOT do. I have started edging and inking with colors. Bold colors sometimes. Sometimes in complementary colors and sometimes not. It has been great fun and liberating :-) Also, I appreciate your editing. And finally, others have said it, I have said it, your voice and inflection is so pleasing I would watch a video on how to wash dishes if you narrated it. Bahahahaha!

[@joiedefi]

You make me laugh....and I love that idea of using colour. Break those rules... let's do it our way!!

Oh my goodness, I have been zigzagging pockets onto pages of a month by month gardening book/journal I've been making. Got to October and my machine stitches keeps bunching up underneath. After about 6 times I decided threading and threading it was not going to help. I've downed tools ( before the hammer came out) and I am now relaxed and watching this blog. After a cuppa and a roll around the floor with my dogs, I will return to the 'hidious thing', manual in hand and will finish calmly as there is no stress in Craftstress!!!.

@@joiedefi I have a set and haven’t used them yet. I also have the woodless watercolour pencils there fab for taking on holiday art journaling around the pool lol x

Oh my gosh I love your videos! I tore out 2 pages every 3 pages then used tacky glue to stick the pages together. My pages are very lumpy. Do you have any suggestions, to help with, for my next book?

[@joiedefi]

One idea might be trying to use less glue.....also don't worry, go for having fun with your spreads. Lots of flip flap envelopes and pockets on top!! 👍😁💜

I love the coloring and painting ideas!! Did you remove any pages from the book? Thx 😉

[@joiedefi]

Sherry, thank you. One day I believe I will be filming and sharing my process steps again. 💜💜

[@babysaffron8839]

Do you take out some of the book pages or just glued them together?

[@joiedefi]

I do take some out, and I glue some together, and some into side and top loading pockets. The pinned comment on this video has a link to the video in which I share this process 👍🏻😊💜

Hello dear friend, Joie

😁💜💜💜

[@janethuckaby5547]

Which glue stick do you use? I have zero success getting any to stick long term.

[@joiedefi]

I have been using Pritt. I bought a box of about 20 sticks on Amazon. 👍🏻😊💜

[@vicky-akastichr-davis4676]

I have my book altered, machine stitched the pages together, instead of gluing. [some are pretty wonky, which works for me] . Then I stopped....where was it going? I did think about adding paint to the pages like you have, but not until I have decided if it will become a Dec. Daily, and what colors I want to use. [not trad.] I guess the blank page can be 'blank ideas' too.

[@joiedefi]

Whatever brings you joy Vicky. Sounds like some interesting ideas for December 😁👍🏻💜
