[@debschafer2978]

Thank you for your videos. I'm making a fidget journal for my sister who has alzheimer's. You have helped so much!

[@joiedefi]

I'm pleased that it helped 😁💜

[@craftykat1634]

I stumbled across the prior video, so naturally subscribed. I am a crafter, but I’ve never made a junk journal. However I must admit that I’m inspired. In October I started a series of cross stitch pieces that I thought I would put in a book rather than framing them. I think this would be a perfect thing to do for them. Perhaps breaking into chapters for each piece. I will have to be a bit industrious and see if any used book stores are open at this time to get some materials. I have a very old dictionary that is literally falling apart that I’ve saved from the trash for years. Now I’m glad I did. Thank you for the inspiration and guidance. I was a card maker and scrapbooked for years so I have lots of stamps and inks, and recently I purchased a set of paints for fabrics. This will be a multi craft project. Looking forward to gathering material and the creative process.

[@joiedefi]

That all sounds fabulous...you already have the supplies. Time to play!! 😁💜👍🏻

[@joyceramdhanart]

Hello Joie! I thought I had watched all your video's in the past few weeks, but I seem to have skipped this one. I just wanted to say I absolutely love to see how you chose your pages for your signature and I also LOVE how you treat these pages with so much respect. ❤️ I can still have some guilt feelings when I tear out a page of a book, but then I look at how you do it and I think it is OK. I am using your tips and philosophy now to put together my new journal and it is so satisfying! Thank you again and I hope you never stop making these video's about using old book pages. 🙏💕😊

[@joiedefi]

Awesome!

[@hannahwalker7221]

I love how you preserve paper with your various foldings! I tried some different folds and tucks today when I made a junk journal with the junk mail that came yesterday. It turned out terrific! When I choose book pages I try not to think to deeply about what I choose, because I enjoy the surprise “journal prompt” when I write in my journal. I also don’t worry about direction of text or music, and try to use it as an artistic statement rather than a written one. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is “be random.”

[@joiedefi]

I agree...sounds like you are really enjoying yourself!!

[@zajournals]

I'm finding it quite interesting that you start with the cover. It's the final thing in my process. I usually don't know in advance how many signatures it will contain at the start The one I'm working on now, I quit making signatures when I used up all the material I pulled for the pages. That left me with 9 signatures, creating 180 pages. I decided to space the sewing line for each signature at 1/4" apart. That way there's a lot of room for expansion as the journal fills up with pockets, envelopes and ephemera. So now that I've sewn each signature to heavy card stock, I know my spine has to be 4". The largest page sticks out 6.5" so the front and back need to be slightly wider. *Now* I can make the hard covers and end-papers. Once I do that, then the fun of playing inside can begin. 🙂 I haven't decided if I'm going to do that or sell it so someone else can have that joy.

[@joiedefi]

Wow, I should be watching your videos!!👍😁💜

[@zajournals]

@@joiedefi LOL no I don't make videos. I spent 30 years traveling all over the world teaching, lecturing and as an international spokesperson for the products I preferred. It afforded me the luxury to live as I do but now I'd much rather stay in my studio, create, and watch others like you.

[@ameliarowe2459]

So beautifully presented. I learnt so much. Thank you for your generosity. As a newbie, can you please tell me about copyright issues concerning magazines and book pages in journals for sale. Thank you for sharing.

[@joiedefi]

Pretty much everything in a magazine or book page can be ripped up and played with; the golden rule is that you can't make a copy of it. So if you have a pretty page in a book or magazine you can use it in your project, and you can sell that project, but you cannot make a copy of it. So you can't make a collage/Masterboard and photocopy or scan it. If a book is so old that it's out of copyright then you are ok...but still be careful as some titles of books are still trademarked, even though the book is out of copyright. An example of this is "Alice in Wonderland". I understand that Disney owns the trademark and so you can't use those words or the characters in any projects or items that you sell. Simple isn't it 🤣 Let me know if I can help...

@@joiedefi Wonderful! thank you so much for taking the time to find it for me.

[@nikkinmiss]

what kind of thread is it that you used in your sewing the cover? it looks rather thick and I like that and I am very new to sewing will that work in any machine and with any needle?

[@joiedefi]

Hi Tonya, it is quite thick... it's a bold deep burgundy red. It feels like cotton although it may have a little polyester in it. It is intentionally bold to make an impact....I have a cheap £40 sewing machine from Hobbycraft, nothing special, and it seems to work ok. Let me know if I can be of any further help. And let me know how you get on.... always keen to track progress...welcome on board 😁👍💜

Hi Joie, I've been enjoyed your videos, thank you. I notice you use a lot of Arteza products. Have you ever tried their pens? I've been considering investing in the Everblend markers but they are expensive so just wondering if you've tried them and would reccommend?

[@joiedefi]

That's a great question.. I use the gel pens and the brush pens. I don't have the Everblend pens..so I'm excited to hear how they do work if you get them! I have seen them used in bullet journal illustration I think....thanks so much for visiting my channel. Really great to be able to welcome you here. 😁💜

[@andreals3922]

@@joiedefi I haven't taken the plunge yet, but if I do I'll let you know how I get on. I have been looking at the brush pens as well, how do you find them? And thank you for the welcome!

[@joiedefi]

The brush pens are an easy way to get paint on a page...I like that I can blend them. They are fun and a bit different 👍🏻😁

[@mable777able]

I've just recently found you so I apologize if this question has been asked before. I would love to know the name of the children's books and/or the illustrators of those books that you use. They are so lovely and I'd like to find them myself if possible. I have subscribed and look forward to more of your videos! Thank you in advance for your response!

Hoy do you use this kínder of journal? Where do you write or paste personal Stuff?

[@joiedefi]

Hello Aurora....I add papers to it.... including more spaces to write. I also paint and collage in it. I have a whole Playlist of videos showing that process, if playing in a journal is something that you enjoy. I have found it to be peaceful and rather addictive and definitely fun. I also make add envelopes and pockets to house journaling cards and paper. I hope this makes sense......Joie ❣️

[@mccrackenshuskies333]

This is so helpful. I wish I’d found you a few hundred dollars ago. I’d have made better decisions! Oh well. From here on out I will. Does it bother you putting pages in sideways?

[@joiedefi]

Not one but....the quirkier and more interesting the better!! 😁💜

Cornelia this reply is so late because I've been hunting for the book cover. I'm afraid I've thrown it away 😥 so sorry I can't help 💜💜

Hi Joie, Can you please give me the name or ISBN nr. Of this Big book that is so beaautifull . It would be great yo have It. Thank you

[@joiedefi]

Sorry for the delay MJ....can you describe the book a bit please? It's an older video and I have done a few now, just struggling to identify which you are referring to... Is it a children's book? Or is it perhaps the enormous book with lovely pictures about Britain? There are a few in this video... if you can help I'll do my best to answer....💜

[@NovKir]

@@joiedefi Hi Joie, i mean the enormous one with lovely pictures about Britain. Sorry, i did not specify exactly Which one I was referring to. Many thanks

[@joiedefi]

I'm so sorry, I've failed to find the title. I've hunted in my craft room for the cover. I think I've thrown it away because it was so big to keep. None of the remaining pages give a clue either. I'll keep looking online with searches and see if I can find it. It is a beautiful book. 🥰💜💜

@@joiedefi It is fabulous! I wish i could get It. Thanks Joie!

If I ever see it I'll drop you a note....
