Collaging in an eclectic-page gluebook

[@reclaimedtreasures5749]

I enjoyed watching your process as you worked. I like the big rings. That might be a great way to keep greeting cards. Thanks for sharing!

[@DianeHubertPrettyPinkCottage]

it was fun to watch you work, Margarete. Your collages are simple (in a good way-- kind of peaceful) and beautiful. Watching this reminded me to harvest the lovely images from the old dictionaries that are sitting on my shelf, and use my colorful tickets, and more! Lost of inspiration in a short video!

[@MargareteMiller]

Yay! Awesome, Diane. Thanks for watching :-)

[@keetz8490]

I am going to take all of my cards my husband daughters etc have given me, tear them and do this. Adding various things with them. I can’t wait to do it!!!!

[@mikaelali9762]

You’re so cool. I love your eclectic collages.

[@wesley5518]

Thank you for the video. Love the variety this book has. Thankful you share your finds and your process of putting it together.

[@MargareteMiller]

Thank you, Sylvia :-)

I’ve just discovered your channel,I love your keen style and loved your process, you have a great collection of bits and bobs,and a very intuitive eye

[@MossCottageMarket]

I love glue books for using up all the bits and bobs I just don't have a heart to toss. I love the pages you made. So simple yet stunning!

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks so much!

[@tfntexas]

You make it look so easy! Lovely work!

FYI. I found a neat way to hold onto paper scraps, ephemera or any kind of crafting accessories. I recently bought some new sheets for my bed, and the sheets came in a zippered, heavy plastic covering. I put a bunch of my ephemera in it and some of my papers. It's kind of neat because it has a gold zipper with a tassel on the end. It zips about 3/4 of the way around and is very sturdy. Just an idea for people who are looking for something to keep some of their crafty items in. You could use it for your ink pads, brushes, whatever.

[@MargareteMiller]

I use those cases, too! I love that they are see through and they are such a nice size. They're easy to store, too 😉❣️👍🏻

[@peggylindenthaler6169]

I wish we were neighbors. You're so sweet and kind.@@MargareteMiller

[@nicolebaker7771]

I love to hear and watch your process! The collage you put together was so cool. I will definitely try making a book like this. It seems like so much fun.

[@MargareteMiller]

I hope you do put one together, Nicole. You can work on them for a while, coming back to it when you want to. I love it.

[@lorreemyres4126]

I love this!!!! Great way to use up old pages of all kinds.

[@bettyhannan3771]

I just found you and love what you’re doing! Thank you for all the wonderful ideas!

[@debbiesjournals4550]

You have the greatest bits! Love how you put your pages together. The whole process is so soothing!

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks, Debbie!

[@conniedoiron5111]

I love this. You inspire me so much. I had lost my mojo but you help get my creative juices flowing again thank you.

[@MargareteMiller]

I'm so glad, Connie! :-)

[@dittepiaolsen4517]

Wonderful gluebook and i love your collages, they are so inspiring! Thanks for sharing.

[@melissam0ss]

What a pleasure to watch! Thank you 😊

[@MargareteMiller]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for stopping by 💙

[@sharongruener6078]

Love it, wonderful collages, Thanks for sharing.

[@marilyn.healey]

Yes!!! This is just what I’ve been looking for. I have FOUR of her amazing journals and I’m ashamed to say I don’t know how to work in them because the pages themselves are already beautiful as they are. And you are talented so I’ve been looking for quality examples and ideas. :)

[@MargareteMiller]

Wow! 4?!! That's so cool! I want to get another already too :-)

[@idaliaponsvelez7512]

I have one of these books, sent tome by my BF Tere! It’s a big one too. It’s a great meditation tool. 💃🏻

[@nancylopez4234]

I learn so much from your videos and Instagram posts. I love collage but I don’t always know how to make it look good. Thank you for sharing!💕

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks for watching, Nancy :-) I'm glad you find the videos and things useful.

[@pamburke8614]

You have a keen eye for composition. On the first page it really came together when you added the washi tape.

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks, Pam :-)

[@georgiewalker1069]

Thank you Margaret this is wonderful work. I have just found you and I’m a subscriber. You are helping to keep this surreal world lockdown bearable. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment, Georgie. I'm glad you are finding things to enjoy during this challenging time. :-)

[@annariginalmake]

Lovely idea- I haven't seen this style before. Very inspiring! TFS

[@MissDaisyParsley]

Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

[@MargareteMiller]

Thank you, Susan :-)

[@lindaalessi1792]

Awesome, love this book!

[@MargareteMiller]

Me too. It's going to be fun to work in :-)

[@kmdamron1]

So how do you punch the holes. I like the idea of being able to add.

[@christyballinger3600]

What size Rings did you use for the red hard found book? I LOVE this!!!

[@MargareteMiller]

THese are 3 inch rings.

[@rebekahwills5333]

Do you have a video how you make that book

[@MargareteMiller]

I bought this little book. Sometimes it's fun to work in other people's books :-) I bought it on Etsy.

[@scribbleartie]

Look up Lisa Vollrath - she was one of the first (if not THE first) person to make Gluebooks popular online. I found her way back pre 2010, and she is still going strong. Great creative person lisavollrath.com/category/gluebooks/

[@bdwalters4585]

I much prefer the name Eclectic Page journal than Junk Journal...thanks.

[@MargareteMiller]

I know what you mean. Unfortunately, we've got to go with the flow, for right now, anyway. Most everyone calls them junk journals.
