I enjoyed the vid. I really need as many of these as I can get as I've joined the JJJ FB group. I've signed up for one near Christmas so that I could have plenty of time to learn a few of the tricks of the journaling. Any more you can post would be greatly appreciated !!! Enjoy your coffee while you vid! And laugh all you want. We all need laughter in our lives!!!

Silly is good! Especially at that time of the morning. Great tutorial, I love the paper shape analogy as you went along (The pirate hat, weird aeroplane etc...) Made it look easy so will give this a go! Thanks so much for sharing x

Thanks for this, gave me some good ideas!

[@delygirl1961]

You are welcome Carolyn

[@lorrainehiltgen9919]

Thank you Someone on junk journal junkies wrote how to fold and darn it works,no white ! What you do is line the paper up and squeeze the middle and work your way out. So on this paper you would line up the points then hold the points together and with your other finger work to the middle of the seam. Hopefully this made sense .......I’ve made lots of tuck spots today and the method works! Who know lol

[@delygirl1961]

Thanks for the tip Lorraine, and why in heck I never thought about that before I'll never know lol

[@fulltimemar]

I like the sillyness!! N the coffee mug! Hehehhe im a coffee addict ! Thanks so mich for the tut, really had fun watching it. I dont have any 12x12 papers, i just got card stock, but i guess as long as the paper is a square one it will work, yeah? So im gonna see what i can get here in madrid n also gonna check out a store online n maybe get me some paper!! 😜 love ur pockets, very cool idea! Thanks again for sharing it n for the inspiration!! Big hugs! Xo marce.

[@delygirl1961]

Haha, ya I was a little off center this morning! Glad you liked the tutorial, and hope you find some paper xxx

[@cristiweiss9994]

lmao at morning breath I literally laughed out loud! beautiful pocket too TFS!

[@delygirl1961]

Lol, yup it was early

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Lol. I was just cracking up laughing. I'm so far now from what I came to be inspired on (soap tags, soap tags!) lol. Now I want to make a journal to keep track of all my soap recipes and sales. Like I have extra time for that or something. Thanks for sharing! I love how you teach us all. I have never tried to do anything like this however because of your videos now I think I can really make myself a journal like yours. I keep telling myself to go make soap, you don't have time.

[@delygirl1961]

It is a nice change of pace. I love making soap too, but I don't sell it.

[@yvonneelizondo3267]

I like that u should how to make a pocket I didn't know how. If u could do one on how to make a junk journal from beginning to end that would be great. I'm a beginner.

[@delygirl1961]

That might be awhile before I am able to do that. You could check out Yvonne White, she has some really good video's for beginners

[@ellenvannood3859]

Great video! Thanks for the tutorial! I'm new to junk journaling. I really like this idea for in my journal :)

[@delygirl1961]

Thank you Ellen

[@acdjr909]

I'm sorry this might be inappropriate lol. But you have amazingly beautiful hands! Wad that weird? Sorry if it was! Lol lovvvvve your videos! You have inspired me to make my first junk journal. Or maybe make it into a planner of some sort. I just love what you do with the Manila folders I just had to make my own! Thank you for sharing!!

[@delygirl1961]

acdjr909 Hahaha, that's so funny. My husband said that to me a very long time ago, and I didn't understand it then, or now. Lol, I always hated my hands. I guess what they say is true. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but thank you for the compliment. I'm so glad you are giving journal making a try. It is so much fun. Thanks for watching Cheryl

[@mebee4894]

Ohhhh thinking, fab to use with card stock if cut on the diagonal so a single layer instead of double.... will have a think & a play :) thank you.

[@RozWilloughby]

Thanks for this awesome tutorial Cheryl.

[@delygirl1961]

You're welcome Roz

[@kimberlyfaure1845]

Yes thanks so very much. I watch your tutorials quite a bit. You are filled with wonderful little tips, as well as your delivery is fun. I missed or can’t for the life figured out how this was ADDED to a junk journal. I read one comment where it would make a good center for a journal. When are you sewing it into the journal 🤔, upon completion. No wait that seems wrong as well. Do you have any finished examples in a journal ?😬

[@delygirl1961]

All kinds, and craft along video's too. Just go to my channel, you will find my playlists. Probably under tutorials. Check out the one for sewing in the signatures or the one on cross stitch

[@delygirl1961]

It's under building and assembling your journals

[@AuntieTriza]

Look into "Ranger Ink Refresher" for your inkpad issue. It is a spray that is supposed to fix that problem where you keep re-inking the pad without improvement :)

[@delygirl1961]

Thank you so much, I've never heard of that before. Off I go to look for it :)

[@andreabourke1433]

[@jeannecorsby-hale1009]

I'm finally going to make this pocket. How do you sew it in? I know how I'd sew in if it was the middle of a signature but I just want as a pocket. Thank you!

[@delygirl1961]

I just wouldn't glue it together in the middle

[@jeannecorsby-hale1009]

Thank you!

[@mntspinner]

I have the same problem with the vintage photo ink pad.

[@alletasmith2639]

Thank you so much for sharing. I’m just now starting to make Junk Journals and this helps so much because, I’ve been looking at videos on different ways to decorate them and etc. Thanks again. Hey one question, hope it’s ok. Where did you find your table cover and what is it called?

[@delygirl1961]

It is Rangers Kraft mat

[@alletasmith2639]

delygirl1961, Hey where can I get one?

[@delygirl1961]

I don't know where you live, but you can try Amazon.com

[@marymacdonald9175]

how do you sew this into the journal? before you stapled it i thought you might be using the long fold opened. does that work?

[@delygirl1961]

Mary Macdonald Yes you could do it like that. Originally it was designed for a Cinch of Bind It All, but yes, while it is open, that's when I would sew it in

[@patversteeg1667]

Hi, first time watcher. How do you attach that to the spine or signature?

[@delygirl1961]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qneaYqNrhqyUgKM

[@TeresasCraftingChaos63]

I apologize that this has nothing to do with what you where showing us how to do, but.... I noticed that you store your glue upside down in what appears to be a glass. I know storing it upside down ensures the glue is ready to go when you are, but doesn't it leak out into the bottom of your glass? Thanks and take care.

[@delygirl1961]

If I had a glass that the tip touched the bottom, I would leave the top off while working. Since mine doesn't, I put the top back on it after each use. A little bit of a pain, but at least the glue stays at the top. :)

Cheryl What is the link you order from Red River paper?

[@bethpyron3306]

What kinda paper is best to use for pockets.all I got is card stock

[@delygirl1961]

Card stock will work as long as it's not too heavy. You'll know when you try folding it

[@sweetpeascraftingintheburb4462]

Hi there just sub n I know this is very old vid , i v bought some 12 by 12 papers in pad it may sound st lipid? TO YOU BUT IM JUST A BEGINNER , IM NOT SURE IF IM TO USE THE pad sheets just to rip n cut or use the sheet as single sheet in a signature, please don't laugh , cos I am , realy dont want to mess up are all totaled it was over 100 dollars n I'm on dis pens so I dont want to use for we oo by reason , love what you are showing now xx

[@delygirl1961]

I typically don’t use a card stock for signatures as it is too stiff. I do use it for outside and inside the cover or for making tags and postcards

[@sweetpeascraftingintheburb4462]

@@delygirl1961 oh wow thank you for that answer it's been on an in my brain for at least a month call me dum my 21 year old son calls me ok lady I can take that eve tho I'm only 56, n I guess that's getting old , but you got to start somewhere, thank god I hadn't started making the signatures up, an expensive way. Iv to find old paper extra , n dont have many but I'll keep what's comming in thru mail you have the best day ever , it's 6.30 in morning with no sleep, been looking for some help n got the exact right person , took all night but, you answered n I thank you for that so much xxxxx

[@delygirl1961]

You are most welcome Alanna. If you have a Michael's store near you, they used to have paper pads usually called "The Best Of" from K & Company. They usually have about 300 sheets to a pad and are paper weight.
