Junk Journal with me - Glue Books!

** I misspoke in this video and said I used my "Cricut" to make the book. I mean to say my "Cinch".
Sorry about that!
Hang out with me while I tear up some magazines, cut out some pretty pictures, and glue stuff together. That sounds a lot like an elementary school activity, but maybe you'll see something that inspires you.

That glue book is like watching someone's dream.

Thank goodness I found your channel. Now I understand what and how to do this. Roll on this evening - I have everything ready to give this a go. Thank you.

Oh my gosh, I do this with every magazine I get! I read it and then rip it apart to keep my favorite images! I find it very soothing. I usually have them in categories and colors in my glue books.

Amorphophallus titanum, also known as the titan arum, is a flowering plant with the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world. The titan arum's inflorescence is not as large as that of the talipot palm, Corypha umbraculifera, but the inflorescence of the talipot palm is branched rather than unbranched. The species is endemic to Sumatra. Due to its odor, which is like the smell of a rotting corpse or carcass, the titan arum is characterized as a carrion flower, and is also known as the corpse flower or corpse plant (Indonesian: bunga bangkai - bunga means flower, while bangkai can be translated as corpse, cadaver, or carrion). For the same reason, the title corpse flower is also attributed to the genus Rafflesia.

I just spent my whole day harvesting magazines...I have a shoe box FULL! and here I am watching you as if I didn't have enough haha! I'm a new subbie... Can't wait to watch more of your vids! 😘😘

[@gatina7713]

Great job! Recycle paper and re-using images from magazines to create a beautiful glue book 🤗🤗

I love birds and Bloom books I love birds doesn't matter what kind of bird just wants it to bird and a butterflies

[@janicebrinson5940]

You made short work of that Birds and Blooms magazine!!! Lol!

[@janlannan2491]

I love glue books and yours show what can be achieved using very simple things. I found your process and your eclectic way of choosing things for their appeal and colour less stressful than trying to match everything up. Your flip through showed a very soothing and interesting result using all recyclables papers. You have brought my "cut and paste" urges (as I like to call it) to life again. It brings out the child in you doesn't it!! TFS; I have subscribed. :)

[@sylstelten]

I love this Idea, Just cutting out beautiful pictures and create something new. Thanks for this inspiration and Idea. Best regards from the Netherlands

To get rid of the sticky spots rub some powder of it. 🌹

[@MelanieSullivan]

I have a small-sized cornstarch based baby powder I use for just that. It works great!

[@NarrowPathDiaries]

Omg! The 1st few pages of your 360West magazine...I saw the jewelry & gasped lol! I have a jewelry page I’ve named “All Sorts of Shiny Bits” & they would’ve had a great home with me :)

[@dreacero9116]

I'm a relatively new subbie so, hello! I really like what you said about using your glue books as inspiration. I have glue books of animals and they would be perfect for sketch inspiration! Thank you for sharing your process! ~Andrea

[@Nevereverbored]

[@morecrafts]

Inspiring and soothing to watch.

[@BeautifulBlueHeart]

hello! Can you please show us how to make that floral packing tape? Love your videos! 😊💗💙

[@tamsjournals1072]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@dianemoore8489]

Just found you. Love your glue booking style.

[@-fixmyhairdo-1798]

Thank U for saying the correct names for flowers..👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼my pet peeve is calling them by the wrong name or just saying, " whatever it's called"...google can be helpful before hand. Love glue books, magazine junk journals, etc. I really need to declutter but must clip images first....clip, toss, collect or toss before clipping, oh the struggle!😊 👍🏻💕🌼

[@MelanieSullivan]

Thanks for the comment. I'm a Master Gardener, so I'm a stickler for plant names too. :)

[@corinnecurtis5145]

Fun fun

[@olgachavez4667]

Hi I came across your video and loved it! I subscribed too! I’m starting to make junk journals to sell in my Etsy shop. Can I cut out images of magazines and use them on my junk journals? Do you know? From Arlington Tx

[@loulou4709]

Hi Melanie - I love the school papers bound - please tell me how you bound them! Thanks!

[@MelanieSullivan]

Hi Lisa! I have a video on how I prepped the pages for that journal. It's here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIPWZHqNbs6Ad68 Thank you for stopping by!

[@mrscrystalbuck]

I just came across your channel and love your glue book! I heard you say you live in north Texas would that be the Dallas Ft Worth area? I just ask because i live just 20 min north of Austin.

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

I'm in Waco

[@Knitnana]

How do you make a spiral notebook with your Cricut?

[@MelanieSullivan]

I misspoke. I meant my Cinch. I get those names mixed up. I need to add a clarification in the description. Thanks for the comment!

[@Knitnana]

Melanie Sullivan thank you!!

[@weekiwacheepaperco8334]

How old are you??? You were a textile designer, a fashion designer, a merchandiser, a buyer........

[@MelanieSullivan]

Haha! I've been all those except a fashion designer, but that is what I have my degree in. I'm almost 50. All my jobs had a common thread... textiles.
