All-in-One Journal & Travel Kit

[@jennibellie]

Hiya, thanks so much =D I'm being asked about the plastic wallets a lot so think I'll do a tutorial on them when I'm better, watch this space. glad you enjoyed much love xx

[@angelpainter]

As usual, this was great, Ms. Creative. And I mean that in the mst flattering way! Enjoy your holiday. You will be missed.

[@belleoftheblueball]

That clear block idea is brilliant. Must use that idea

[@Gearyization]

Thank you very much! I know it was a big request and a lot of extra work when you already do so much for everyone. You are an exceptional person and I appreciate how hard you work on sharing your art, ideas and techniques, plus your time. Thank you again for being such a nice lady. We all love you and wish you well. Geary

[@WendyJuhl]

That's an amazing creation! You did a great job fitting all of that in there. When I travel, I take a small journal, my markers, my sketching pencils, double-sided tape & an eraser in a decorative kids lunch bag. I add a travel watercolor set & water brush on longer trips. I can't wait to see the other tutorials. Have a wonderful holiday!!! Wendy

[@Eucis93]

You have the life I want! I want a space only for crafts, where I can gather things and make just about as amazing things that you make! You're such an inspiration to me and many others :))

[@purrplekatt]

You are awesome girl! I hope you share this again after your holiday! Love all your videos!

[@pinguchick]

I love love love this idea! Can't wait for the tutorial on the water color palette!

[@qbjella]

When I woke ut this morning and saw that you have made a new video I was so happy! Coffee and one of your turorials before the day is really beginning - what could be better! Have a wonderful vacation with lots and lots of inspiration. And if you ever come to Norway - give me a call.

[@jennibellie]

Thank you, glad you like my vids  =) and youre projects sound awesome ---- I love using the leftover painted paper, sometimes I find it hard to cut or tear it I like how it's turned out that much lol thanks for watching, enjoy your journaling xx

[@redcrystal69]

Very cute! love the little plastic folders/sleeves you made. Top effort!

[@LenaRayAtl]

Wow, how awesome is that! I love the journals and once again you show us how to create a beautiful, working, creative piece of art! Bravo Jennnibellie~Enjoy your holiday! Hugs, Lena

[@msfran3]

Ingenious!! Love your whole ethos of using and altering rather than buying new. Thanks to seeing your videos I renewed my love for my art journals, you really are an inspiration. Can't wait to see the next vid, have a great hol , you deserve it! Hugs, Fran x

[@LibraMoonScorpioSun]

I can't wait to see how you made the palettes...inspirational!

[@myrita3000]

So great & I love it! I know I have an old one or two of those tucked away unused somewhere now I know what I can do with them. Awesome ideas!!! Thank you for another wonderful video

[@Johnswoman123]

Brilliant! I too have several I've held onto...once I find then in storage I know what to do. Have a great holiday.

[@Aubreebree]

NO JOKE I have an old one of these sitting right next to me!!! I was going to use some of the old pages for my smash book and now I have a use for the rest! This is BRILLIANT! Also, as soon as you showed the watercolor in the back I was begging to know how they work! Can't wait to see them :D

[@Bedknobsandbesoms]

OMG!!! What a fantastic idea. I have an old filofax 'thing' and I am so going to be doing this. I am also looking around for different things which I can repurpose too. Cant wait for the next tutorial. Have a great holiday. Be safe

[@jennibellie]

hiya, yes I have altered books before but don't think they've featured in any of my vids only on my blog. I tend to make my own journals by using the bookpages inside the journal or sometimes using pretty antique novel covers for my journal covers etc more than using the altered book as a whole. Yes I enjoy watching gulfspr1tes pages too x

[@Gearyization]

I always love your ideas! After seeing your blog & tutorials, I look at things differently, seeing new uses for items for art now. Great idea with the organiser (filofax), I can't wait to make one. I love the eraser (rubber) & ribbon attachments as charms. The folder for the washi tape is great too. The entire kit looks wonderful, will you please post a list of things you put in your travel journal kit? I hope you have a great holiday. I look forward to hearing about it. Hugs & best wishes!

[@ayanared]

Yes, when I *finally* saw you on film, I was like "What the heck is the GORGEOUS girl doing behind the camera! LOL! But it gets easier the more you do it. I was horrible when I first started - but now, I am (I'd say) about 97% myself on my videos. And thank you so much again for the encouragement! xo

[@TammyBrackettDesigns]

Jenny, you are just brilliant! I have a little notebook like this on my "alter this" shelf in my studio ;-) that I've been wanting to play with. Thank you for another enlightening video!

[@BeachFibres]

Hi Jennibellie, all your art work is super inspiring :) i made my first book, an art journal after watching your tutorials, i enjoyed it so much! right now i'm working on a journal for my god daughter, for her upcoming birthday... and after seeing this video, my next project is gonna be a pocket sized journal for everyday use, that i can take with me. thanks heaps for all your cool ideas, i also recycle all left-over paint etc and it makes the coolest paper! Love & Greetings from New Zealand :D

[@MyrtaHarris]

Thanks so much for sharing. I am looking forward to the next video. Have a wonderful Holiday.

[@bandhagibajaj7031]

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

You are sooo creative, and I love your enthusiasm! So imaginative. There's something wonderful about a whole studio in such a tiny space! It's brilliant. (Love your fingernails too lol!! Shoshi

[@jasann100]

[@lionpaw55]

[@ayanared]

[@Kraftykathy29]

[@jennibellie]

[@jennibellie]

[@Alyluvsminialbums]

Awesome Travel journal Jennibellie! I am just about to make myself a Travel Journal so thank you so much for the inspiration! Looking forward to seeing your next video! Have a wonderful holiday! hugs Aly x

[@musictoliveby08]

Jenny such a SUPER wonderful journaling idea!!! LOOOOVE your creativity and can't wait to make one of my own. Happen to have an extra one I didn't know what to do with & didn't want to toss it as it's still quite new. Luv & blessings Hon - enjoy your holiday! xoxo Suzanne ;D

[@jennibellie]

you're welcome, enjoy creating one =) thanks for commenting and for watching, much love xx

[@Jinjerbread317]

Love it. Gave me some ideas. Could make these for crochet, knitting, sewing, all kinds of things.

[@jennibellie]

Yes you can! And please do post I'd love to see. It's a learning process babe so never be hard on yourself if you don't like a page and make sure you pat yourself on the back when you do. But most importantly - have FUN! It's a journal, a place to get out hopes, fears, negativity, positivity ~ not a finished piece of art!! Much love xxx

[@berniejones300]

This was just what I was looking for in a 'pack light' diy travel journal, thank yo so much for sharing your Lovely ideas!

[@DarcieGlam]

This is fabulous! I just got back from a trip and even though I didn't bring a lot it was still too much. Love this!

[@calbear1313]

Simply put, you rock! You had the 'stuff' and the vision AND the 'follow through'! I think most of us have the first two down pat! LOL. As a guy crafter I had to laugh at the different colored nails. You are your own rainbow! Anyway, great inspiration. Will be keeping an eye out on your tutorials. cheers dave m

[@jennibellie]

Lol yep I know what you mean - you just got to be decisive though because otherwise I find you never choose any-thing that's right lol thank you, I'll post it later tonight =) xx

[@jennibellie]

Hiya, yes you can do that, though I would suggest sticking two pieces of paper together with strong adhesive (putting the glue all over to make sure there's no air bubbles) first, many thanks =)

[@zebralite2020]

Love that eraser idea. Thank you

[@csblackster]

Hey jenni I have watched all of your videos that you have made I am so proud of you bye x

[@cheryls_creative7048]

I'm going to do this!!! It's so much smaller than the big case I've got!!!! Thanks Jennie!!!

[@jennibellie]

Hey dear, thank you I will =) I'm sure you could do it just with instructions it's quite easy - measure your plastic to the right size & double that (so when you fold it in half it's right) and leave some length for the lip/flap that opens it (I gave one inch). On the edges stick some strong glue and then tape to secure it. On the front add circles cut from cardboard with eyelets, then add a tie to wrap between them. Prob sounds more complicated via a comment lol but try it, super simple =) x

[@Mariak82]

OMG! i love watching your videos. i loved crafting since i was little and now it has exploded, lol. i craft as much as i can every day and have SO many differerent ideas all the time. i was so excited seeing the spy file you got as i have exactly the same one from when i was little and i have it with me right now. :-) i now have a use for it. :)

[@jennibellie]

yep that'll work great =) thanks for watching, much love xx

[@maedhbhspain3516]

That is AWESOME!!! I lobe your style!!!!

[@jennibellie]

thanks Carla, glad you enjoyed =)

[@jennibellie]

Hiya, I'm being asked about them a lot so think I'll do a tutorial on them when I'm better, watch this space...much love xxxx

[@hidilley]

Wonderful idea! Very handy kit - have a lovely vacation! :)

[@nancydupree7263]

Revisiting this video, it's cool. Did you do a flip of the journal you created from this kit?

[@jennibellie]

Lol thank you, glad you like my vids =) no need to do a sad face over not being a grown up lol it's awesome that you're creative =D much love xx

[@jennibellie]

Me too, it was too fat for the filofax to close when I put it on the inside so I was so smug when I found a way to have it on the outside, but still attached to the kit....like really smug lol x

[@Agirlcalledgem2]

I have one of those folder things. Am gonna do the same. Your really clever xx!

[@FineArtStudent]

I really like what you did with that eraser! haha

[@cjinsrq]

You are brilliant - but then we already knew that :) Have a wonderful vacation!

[@origamifrenzy]

AWESOME! Now don't fall off your chair, but after your last video, you inspired me to actually start my journal (shock horror)!! Just trying to work out a way to post a photo and link it to you - nothing like your gorgeous work but I love that I have actually taken the plunge and started and I know it will only get better! Thanks heaps

[@jennibellie]

[@Hannahsworld660]

Hi there, great idea. Love the ball chains, I have posted a video response (not as professional as your's) of my envelope travel journals, they don't include the kit though, might try and incorporate somehow. Have a good holiday.

[@quellamint3070]

I know you posted this video awhile ago, but where did u get it. I didn't hear u clearly in the vid. P.S. Awesome job at fitting everything in.

[@tbelsom]

How clever and fun!

[@jennibellie]

[@Milkugh]

Hey you see your water soluble travelnpallete I tried it but I have cheap water color pencil by artists loft an it doesn't work. Do you have any ideas?

[@dijafarukee]

after watching your videos and blog posts, my love for recycling and seeing things in a different way grew more.. And i owe you for that, jennie.. You're such a darling for posting such helpful tut and inspirations for us new artists.. Much Love.. :) P.S. I saw your color palette book tut.. I have a question.. If i dont have a heavy water color paper, can i gesso the regular watercolor paper more than just once to make it more heavy and sturdy?? Would that help?? please reply.. Have a good day!

[@fashionheadphones25]

cool video jenni and ahhh you have to upload that water colour pallet thing how to soon it seems so cool :D

[@origamifrenzy]

Hi jennibellie! I was wondering if you have ever done any work on altering books? I don't know if you have seen gulfspr1te's channel, she uses old books as her art journal :)

[@daniellemurphy3880]

How do you do you nails like that also what paperchace did you go to

[@ChristinePurdy]

I know this is a old video, and I have followed you for a very long time :) I am always so shocked at how brilliant your ideas are, your the best Jennibellie. This is now 2018 talk about a throw back :)

[@cynthiareynolds00]

Love what you did to make your traveling journal kit...clever Hugs Cyn

[@jennibellie]

[@elliemay1229]

I want to go to your pound store! Our dollar store's art supplies are pretty sad! Mostly floral supplies and foam/kid quality supplies!

[@ilovetobemom]

Jennie, What do you use to punch your holes so that they are even or do you have a special puncher?

[@deravilkeena2317]

She probably used a ruler

[@angeltorres475]

Where can you buy those things for travel journal kit

[@jennibellie]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it =D x

[@jennibellie]

Haha naaah I was smug when I thought of that one - couldnt fit inside the filofax see because it was too fat for it to close. Thank you dear (and I don't care what the hell background was there YOU made the page ----- you better start hearing me girlie I'll keep banging on at you till you do lol). Plus I admire you HUGELY for stepping up in front of the camera each day - I could never bring myself to do that, I still don't like doing it when I actually do lol you're very brave & easy to watch xx
