Back to Basics Ep 3 Quick & Simple Journal

[@sundayze]

In August, I mass made 10 journals very similar and basic as you are doing. I was giving them out to my granddaughters and they were all similar, but different themes, colors, etc. Most had loads of writing room and they were a hit with the girls. I did one a day for 10 days. I also took a box of ephemera I had made with the scraps and let them have as much as they wanted. It was so much fun! I got requests for 3 more and am going to be making a baby book for my great grandson who is due in February. That's the hard one for me, but it will be my 3rd one so, I have some ideas. My point was how satisfying it is to do fast projects and feel like you really got something done, if that makes sense. I've spent a month or two on one big fat journal and was dragging most times by the time I was finished. I think I'm more creative and spontaneous with the smaller projects. Thanks Tina!

I am inspired to make these but I'm not home for a couple of weeks and I only brought mystitching along with me. I have been stitching most of my days but atm I'm watching this in bed on my laptop. I'm saving these videos for when I get home in a file marked 'TO DO'. I love the simplicity of these journals. I have a few printed pages left over from other projects that these would be great to use up. You alwayscome up with great ideas.

[@thepeacockparlor1512]

Tina, you always inspire! HaHa about the ironing. I agree wholeheartedly❤❤❤

[@deelynn51]

I am so happy to find your channel!! Junk journal making is new to me and I love this "back to basics" series. I made a small easy one last night and I can't wait to do another one! Thank you for your guidance.

[@trishthompson5714]

Love it. I'm really enjoying the series. I made a few for Christmas gifts and everyone seemed to enjoy them. I made them simple and they were quick to finish. Thank you so much Tina.

Loving the simple series 💯 TY Tina ❤

[@Crazy4Crafting50]

I am just learning to do this so I'm only doing really simple things for now. I'm working on making pockets and envelopes out of old book pages and I just did a mass coffee staining of a bunch of papers and ephemera. I saved the last of the coffee in some small spray bottles that hand sanitizer came in. I plan to use it on the go while working on pages. That a way I don't have to stop if I want to use a paper that's too white.

These are great especially for new people learning about junk journals

[@prof.mommyarty]

I'm definitely guilty of going over the top🙈. I have to iron my son's school uniform and Mr Mommyarty's t-shirts but nothing else. I used to iron everything except underwear🙈. I just tried filming coptic binding, way harder on camera! Lol your glue is still sleepy 😄. When we add too many pockets it takes forever to fill them 🙈. I don't have time atm but definitely inspired to make some of these journals for a nice change. I think 'offset ' is what you mean for the flower petals😉. I'm going to put physical things in my shop next year and definitely some of these. They're also more affordable for people and not everyone wants something elaborate. You can cut the stem off the plastic flower centres and use metallic paint on them. Super pretty😍I love her. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

[@sherryvanderpool8644]

Love your series ❤

[@ratherbscrapping]

Beautifully ❤

[@lynettejonker7980]

It's so refreshing not to overthink.

[@kitchenwitch04]

This video really inspired me to make my first journal. I have always been intimidated by the whole process, and your video gave me the incentive to try again. I used your freebies along with some other papers I had. I haven't decorated yet, but I am working on it. Thank you so much for this series, it REALLY helped me to decide to take a chance and try again!

[@SumariVisser]
