Giveaway time woohoo. Winner will be picked in one week :)
So what REALLY is a Junk Journal? An Art Journal? An Altered Book? A Smashbook? A Gluebook? A Scrapbook? I discuss the purpose, process and materials of each category (according to me of course) with thorough examples/journal flips for visual clarification.
Note: ‘rules’ and ‘definitions’ are not the same. Rules are ‘you can/can’t do this’ and definition is literally just a way to describe what a thing is. Some people are misinterpreting my giving a definition and as declaring rules but I say if definitions restrict your creativity don’t use them, if they help you understand, learn and create easier then use them. The latter is what I was trying to cultivate in this video (as with anything I do, it’s to try and inspire creativity). It’s down to the individual to decide if definitions help or hinder them, it just doesn’t really negate the fact that there ARE differences - just like Daisies, Gardenias and Roses are all different types of flowers. I’m just pointing them out, and my preference is still to mix every single one up so…it doesn’t mean that we can’t do whatever the heck we want just because you have knowledge of their differences! My intention is to spread knowledge, not restrictions.
If you don’t want the full explanation but just want the quick fire round of all definitions and examples skip to 22:50.
I’m not trying to start any drama here. And I know most of you will understand as to why I’m also talking about respecting others opinions in this video, but, if anything being a creator online for so long has taught me is that people can (and will) take offense to A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G! Your nail polish colour/your voice/your eyebrows can deem whatever you are sharing totally irrelevant to some, because they can’t see past it, and they have to make sure you know all about why what you’re sharing sucks/why they can’t stand you. And all this still comes WHEN YOU DON’T SHARE ANY OPINION AT ALL LOL. So again, most of you will understand why I’m sharing about not taking what someone else does/says as a personal offense (and thinking ‘well obviously, why is Jennibellie thinking she needs to tell me this?’) but as I AM actually sharing opinions here I wanted to put it in - because anything any of us can do to help make the internet a more tolerant and understanding place for one another now, can only help going forward.
