[@thefrugalcrafter]

These are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing:)

[@joiedefi]

Thanks very much!! Messing around, playing with colour.....I think we both enjoy this type of art! Thanks so much for popping by to watch Lindsay, I really appreciate it!🤗🤓💜

[@elainebates6967]

Nice to see you here @thefrugalcrafter. I am also a fan of your channel.

[@lucyfanning7496]

I love how you upcycle. I guess that is why I am so passionate about junk journals. Making something out of stuff that most people would throw away is so satisfying. All your examples have provided me with lots of inspiration.

[@joiedefi]

Lucy we're on the same page. I don't exclusively use junk but I like to err on that side of things. But each to our own, whatever makes us happy 🤗👍🤓❤️🌿🍁

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

I agree, I love it!

[@brendaleick]

Joie, you can use a cheap pencil sharpener with the aweful crayons the you will have any size spots you like.

[@joiedefi]

That is such a great suggestion!! 🤓👍💜

[@urshurakdieohnekanal9291]

I'm absolutely baffled! My sister started making Junk Journals and told me about it, so I watched a few videos and got interested. She makes the more ... artistic kind, very beautiful but not really my cup of tea. I thought that I'd have to buy a lot of supplies to get started, but in reality you only need a bit of hardware. The rest you already have at home, you just need to look at things with new eyes. That paper made with the crayons, eyeshadow and wax is gorgeous!!!

[@jaymeferry5321]

Love using stuff up! Nothing wasted and so much creativity in using things in a different way. Love these backgrounds.

[@joiedefi]

Thank you so much

[@elizabethglenbentley7882]

Love these gems that you've miraculously pulled off so well Joie. I must say I really appreciate seeing the finished product up front as a guide to what's coming up. It makes it so much easier to understand your thinking and therefore quicker to catch on how to pull these eye catching gems together. It makes for a great tutorial.many thanks again 🇩🇰 .

[@joiedefi]

What fantastic feedback, so, so useful and appreciated. Thanks Elizabeth!!🤓💜👍

[@roseapple8786]

Miss Joie de fi, this comment is coming to you from my heart. I had to get back to basics and I came across this video that I saved for reference. You do amazing work. I am going to do this project now because I have a lot more things that I have collected to make for my journals. My first one I wasn't too happy with. It's OK but it didn't put a smile on my face. My second one did. Now you have over 59 thousand subscribers and you must come back to us and show us more ideas or make some journals or anything that your heart desires to make. I know I miss you and that is from my heart. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family. 🥰💖💖💖💖💖👍👍👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟(🌹🐞🦂🌵)

[@joiedefi]

Thank you so much Roseapple. I am working every day on getting better, and I hope one day to be filming videos just like this one again 💜💜💜🤗🤗🤗

[@jillstmichaels8708]

A MILLION Thumbs up!!! 👍 Those papers are everything!!!

[@barbara-dj1uo]

Love, love, love these. I appreciate how you work. I’m a “big picture” person, like you. Show me the big idea....then, break it down into detailed info. You make an excellent instructor. Soooooo organized, detailed, ......Thanks for being YOU!

[@joiedefi]

Aww, thanks for that Barbara, I really appreciate it!❤️🤓👍

[@pauletteliddell2923]

I have a large folder given to me full of cheap crayons. Need to go to the goodwill and get a cheap iron. This look like a fun project.🙏🙏🏿👍🤗🤗🤗🤗💜

[@jesseb5112]

Thank you for this! I like printables, but I also like upcycling, old book pages etc. Since family moved in with us, I no longer have a craftroom. My nephew moved back out, but my beloved mother-in-law is here permanently. I refuse to bring everything back upstairs. I just know that my hoarding days are over. I am VERY focused on using what I have. Your channel is wonderful! Thank you for being authentic.

[@joiedefi]

Aww, thanks so much 💗

[@judiemjacobson4613]

Was it only a year ago I watched this video. I thought it was longer than that. I have used up all of these lovely things and we'll need to make some more. Getting more and more excited about working in my joie de fi journal in January. Blessings and love for your continued healing and returning to us when it is comfortable for you. Just wanted to remind you that you are missed😊

[@joiedefi]

I miss you too ❤️

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Getting more things together before I start the baby blankets. 😊🦋🐦👍🏾

[@debbieellebracht9422]

😊 ❤ I rewatch your videos so many times and always find inspiration. Sending well-wishes your way! You are missed.

[@joiedefi]

Thanks Debbie. One day I'll be back.....💜🤗

[@pauletteliddell2923]

AUGUST..28...2023..IVE made a few and they turned out very nice. Hope to see you soon 😊❤

[@studio-989]

Love those🎉❤!

[@lorifitzgibbon3085]

Love this!!

[@janetedens]

Hi, a video I hadn't watched yet. Very helpful. Those strips with the holes that you tore off of the paper is a good piece of paper. I put that gold wax stuff, forgot the name of it, on it and then thread ribbon into the holes. Of course the strip was a short one when I did it. Your lovely ephemera has given me some good ideas, thanks.

[@kandicecappello8557]

I LOVE this!

[@stormyswann6177]

Thank you for showing what is on your desk before. I always wonder how planned the ideas are

[@janekrut2799]

Great tips - thank you so much.

[@myhillsidegarden3998]

Thank you for sharing. This is lovely. Catherine

[@jsheldon9735]

I don't do junk journals, but these embellishments would be great on cards - that I do make. Thank you for sharing.

[@joiedefi]

That's a great idea, definitely good for on a card 👍🤓

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Just started more ephemera for journals. More clusters on various shapes. Thanks again Joie. Good ideas.😊🤗🤗🤗💚

[@MarylynBroomhall]

Gosh, I never thought of using up all those eye makeup powders that I have lying around! Great idea, thank you!

[@joiedefi]

You're very welcome 😁

[@teresabenefield731]

❤ love your process in making these.

[@janicestevens8469]

I just watched this video again to remind myself not to buy any new supplies! You gave me some ideas and I’m ready to get busy, but I wanted to say how much I miss your videos and how often you’re in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. ♥️

[@jatzygirl3120]

Super cute!!💕

[@joiedefi]

Thanks Donna!!👍🤓💜

[@jeweltompkins8532]

Why I keep coming back to your tutorials. I've really come to the realization I need to "mass make" some embellishments. See a lot that I like, but they always seem to mostly look alike. But, watching you helps me get out of the norm and re-examine what I have to work with. Thanks.

[@joiedefi]

Thank you for that Jewel. I needed a lift today...... it's great to chat with you again. 💜

Have you ever tried hair spray? Maybe some clear coat? To "seal" the powders. Biggest tip, spray from a distance (maybe in your splat box) so not to push powders around.
