This is so encouraging for us, Meg. Sometimes we can be a little shy about showing our art, but hey, we’re all different and there’s no right or wrong really, I firmly believe “creativity takes courage!” Thank you 🙏🏻

Since this video came out, I've watched it each month as a background inspiration for my monthly daily journals. This is such a great source filled with great ideas! Thank you ^-^ Love your channel

Thank you so much, Meg! This was all really helpful. I especially appreciated seeing the art journal you used for experimenting. That’s a great idea!

[@myenchantedjournals]

Me too! It’s great when we don’t always see perfect images on social media!

I really like the idea of having a journal for backgrounds to look at when inspiration falls. Thankyou so much for sharing Meg, it’s really appreciated x

Love the background journal! I always go straight to coffee but nice to be reminded to use paints, etc! TFS!

I love your mixed media journal…. And the pages you did in this video are beautiful. 😊👍🏻

I use Distress stains, calligraphy ink or colour spray on spreads.Sometimes I use watercolours. I love the dark spodges on effects. I want to add acrylics but the pages can stick together. I know Barbara of 49dragonflies uses piece of candle. I find adding inks or dye helps to overcome the blank page block which always bug me. There are rubber stamps with splatter, spodges and doodle. I find the series helpful so far.

Words is something i struggle with to add to my journals- any ideas? Xx

[@elizabethcasey3219]

I'm not trying to be nasty, but what is the purpose of junk journals? I'm new to journaling and just started in July. I do a little bit of art work like stickers and stencils, but I'm doing more of a bullet journal (guess that's what you call it). I write in it and keep tracks of tasks, appointments, and then just do a little bit of journaling/gratitude page, etc.... I like watching these videos about junk journaling, but am just curious about the purpose? Thanks!

Just for fun!
