Ohhh how I love this video! ❤️ I havnt done any junkjournal yet, but that is my next thing to try. And I have watched sooo many "how to make a junkjournal" videos but this one is definitely one of the best ones I've seen!!! ❤️ Informative, interesting, helpful, good pace and it's possible to make with stuff that we already has in our little collecting mania hehe... But the first thing I've noticed was your voice and tone. Sooo kind and like balm to my ears. Almost comfortingly voice... So now I do have "more on my feet" (swedish proverb) so I can try and make my first junkjournal! Thanks alot and hugs from a Swedish junkjournal beginner 🇸🇪❤️

[@joiedefi]

Welcome, welcome on board, and to this happy, and yes indeed, calm and relaxing place to journal! A lot of viewers say that about my voice... 🤭🤭 I am just so pleased that you enjoyed this. Thank you for popping by to watch. Just shout if you have any questions!😁💜🥰🌿

[@zajournals]

Tip: if using bull dog clips, fold an index card within the clip so it doesn't make marks on your pages.

[@joiedefi]

Good idea!!🥰👍

[@zajournals]

@@joiedefi I keep forgetting to mention this .. In case you haven't said this in any video (I don't remember hearing it) you might want to mention, next time you are sewing paper, that it's very important not to set the stitch length too small. Tiny stitches essentially perforate the paper such that it's very easy to tear apart. The thread is stronger than the weaken sewing line in the paper. There's a quilting technique called *paper piecing* where you want that to happen. Fabric is sewn to a paper pattern with small stitches, then the paper is easily removed. Handling a journal frequently is enough stress on the paper, with very close holes, to make them pop.

[@TheRosieBoy]

Thank you!

[@zajournals]

Okay... I'm going to make more single signature journals because I'm practically drooling over yours. ❤️ I really like hearing the paper tears, glue cap popping off, cutter cutting, etc. which one doesn't get with a voice over. Your instructions, decision making explanations and why you are doing what you do is spot on. Awesome teacher. 👍 Your video skills are professional, smooth, so well done. 👍 I'm very grateful to be a subscriber - still working my way back through all your videos *THANK YOU* ❤️👍🙂⭐

This is one of the most valuable videos for getting your pages ready for your Journal. I just wish I could remember to go back to it again and again. One of the things that has been really great, I'm still sorry that you're not well, but it has got me to go back and redo other videos to help keep your Channel alive for you. So it has most helpful to me too.❤ blessings for your healing😊😊

[@judiemjacobson4613]

This was so much fun putting together. But it really does take time to find the pages that I want to make the interesting fold. I know I will get better at it the more I do it. Can't wait to add envelopes and flip-flops and all those special things that you do

[@joiedefi]

Splendid 🤗💜🌹

[@crystall533]

I have always wondered how to get the fun folds in journals. Thanks so much for sharing. I really enjoy your teaching style too.

[@joiedefi]

Thanks so much!!👍😁💜

[@jackieo8693]

Thanks for a great explanation! The folding not only saves your paper but also adds interest. I love the beautiful books you found for pages. I'll have to go to the thrift store and look for some.

[@joiedefi]

Splendid!!💜👍

[@judiemjacobson4613]

I am so excited. I just put together a junk Turtle totally following your instructions. All my folds are not exactly the same but similar enough and I am so happy with it. And I have decided that I am going to fill it by watching more of your KZbin channels. I do think I have some of your tags in my stash that I may also use. This junk Journal will take me some time but I am so looking forward to the adventure. And this will be my personal Journal. And maybe getting me on the track to making more journals in the style of joie de fi

[@VanessaAngelroseDesings]

Love the project. Thanks for sharing. Please be blessed. Happy crafting on a budge. Happy everything on a budget. See you in the next video and on the flip side.😇😇🌹🌹

Hi Joie! Was watching another of your videos, where you make the collage strips from scraps. When you were using your splatter box, I thought to myself, you are wasting splatters! Why not line the bottom of the box with a piece of packing paper, so when you are done splattering the collage strip, or whatever, your “extra” splatters will not have gone to waste on the bottom of the box! Love all your videos, your techniques and clear explanations, and your soothing voice ❤️

Your methods have taught me so much. I really prefer to not always use digitals or coffee dyed papers. It took me a while to realize that true junk journaling slows so much more freedom to fill up the pages. You have shown us how to expand our concepts of "organization" and creativity. Thank you. By the way, my Joie sampler is in a one signature Joie style journal, replete with twine binding.

Joie this is my very favorite video, I've had such a hard time coming up with ways to treat beautiful pages I didn't want to cut, so many on You Tube cut the pages. I feel validated now to fold the beautiful pages and keep them as they are. Trying to think of other ways now to fold paper without doing Origami. I so wish you would come back, we all miss you, maybe we could be of comfort to you..Big hugs, and prayers!
