Finally! Getting back to basics: junk journals made out of junk, not vintage this, vintage that.

[@craftycat7212]

Thank you.💕

[@jansfield5314]

I so agree with you, I think things have gone far away from junk journalling! To just journals!

[@rgporter1957]

I'm enjoying seeing a back to basics video. Thank you!

[@kekaknacks387]

Hell yeah!!!! No digitals its sooooo refreshing thank you :)

[@jansfield5314]

Its so so good to see a proper junk journal, journals have become designer journals, its good to see someone getting off the bandwagon of digitals and expensive items!

[@craftycat7212]

I’m not really off the bandwagon of digitals since I sell them. But I don’t consider them expensive since you can print them as many times as you like. Just wanted to do something I haven’t done yet. Thank you, Amy💕

[@eileenjasonmalone5591]

You mean it's going to be a true junk journal, well done you 👍

[@dorothybentley3808]

So glad you are making a junk journal out of junk.like your video !!!

[@craftycat7212]

Thank you Dorothy.❤️

[@lamoredave3230]

Thank you Susan. 💕😉Amy

[@lamoredave3230]

Hello Susan

[@nancynorris9822]

Oh thank you for this series! I don't have a printer to use digitals or kits, but I have bought loose 12 X 12 printed papers from Joann's or Hobby Lobby. It's so helpful to learn to use book pages. And I just coffee dyed some paper so I'm ready! 😉

[@craftycat7212]

Awesome! This will be fun. Thank you, Amy💕

Hi Debi

[@shannonpaul6053]

I honestly like the envelopes just like they are. Great video thank you.

[@craftycat7212]

Thank you.💕

[@DanceswithDustBunnies]

I started one just like that, one signature, using envelopes and other (mostly) junk....scope creep took over and it's now an inch and half thick LOL.

[@craftycat7212]

That happens. They are so fun we just keep adding. ❤️👍🏻Amy

[@carollaws838]

love it! I must give it a try - and you can turn the envelope inside out once cut, then the windows would all be in different places - looking forward to seeing how it turns out xxx

[@craftycat7212]

Indeed. Thank you Carol.❤️

[@roxstar3726]

I love this Amy. Can’t wait for more of it.

[@craftycat7212]

Great!💕Amy

[@cindy77277]

Amy, you truly are an amazing artist. The journal isn’t anywhere near being done and I know it’s going to be a work of art that I would love to have. 😊 I look forward to seeing the end product. I hope you have a wonderful evening with your family. See you tomorrow. Hugs 🤗 Your friend Cindy from a small town in Northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️❤️❤️

[@craftycat7212]

Thank you so much Cindy. I think this one will be fun.💕Amy

[@kathrynhelm4176]

This will be a great series! A perfect way to really make a dent in our stash of “junk” instead of just using a piece here and there. Thanks Amy! ❤️

[@craftycat7212]

Yes and I need to put a dent in it. Thank you, Amy❤️

[@lamoredave3230]

Hi Kathryn

Thank you. They are a bit annoying. Tania is great. ❤️Amy

I’m fairly new to junk journaling, and the last 8 months I’ve been learning and experimenting etc.... I really love your videos, and Im still browsing through older ones that you have made and I lOVE all of them :) Thanks for the inspiration :)

[@craftycat7212]

Thank you so much Nicole. Glad you are enjoying the videos. Blessings, Amy💕

[@craftycat7212]

Thank you. I think it will be fun. Blessings, Amy💕

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

A junk journals are truly from things we would discard, and I thing they could be called trash journals…. I use a combinations of trash and new stuff.. so they are junk journal not trash journals or all fancy newly assembled from shiny new stuff either…. Great Job and thank you ! I like that some times things are “jenkie”. LOL. Love it!

[@craftycat7212]

It’s all in the interpretation of the artist as far as I’m concerned. Thank you, Amy💕

[@eviegorecki5356]

Wonderful ideas and instructions I have a collection of junk mail envelopes and have been looking for an interesting way to use them in a journal. But I still love digital papers 🙂.

Great Video on using envelopes. I am excited to make a mail junk journal. Saw an envelope from NAU. Hubby and I are 81/82 grads!

[@craftycat7212]

Oh wow! That is so cool. Both my kids are in college now so for awhile we got tons of mail from different universities. Thank you, Amy💕

[@Tania-Tatttytreasure]

😍 This is going to be amazing. I've really enjoyed making mine, lots of fun and yummy windows. I want to try again with bigger envelopes mine has ended up a chunky monkey, I like you have opened yours up. Thank you Amy, I'm the same it's so hard to get round and watch everybody especially when we are filming aswell.

[@Wvnursey]

Junk mail is an artists blank canvas!!!

[@craftycat7212]

Indeed👍🏻❤️

[@RColleen1]

I thought there was something wrong with me - flitting from project to technique to medium to ... So happy to hear I’m not alone - and that my attention span (or lack thereof!) is not unique! 🥳

[@craftycat7212]

No “we’re all a little mad here”. Thank you❤️

[@lamoredave3230]

[@craftycat7212]

I'm so glad! Thank you.💕

[@sheilacrace7839]

Just seeing this first part of your”junk journal” will be curious to see your take on something with more simple papers. Did I miss your link mentioned on this video or did you maybe forget it? Thx for sharing

[@craftycat7212]

So sorry I fixed it. I’m not sure what happened. Thank you.🙏💕Amy

[@cassidyrose8965]

“We’re just gonna wing-a-ding it” Me: LETS!

[@craftycat7212]

[@kimhood3140]

I have just started doing these myself - great inspiration! Can you give me the link for the other channel you recommended - I don’t see it in your comments?

[@craftycat7212]

Thank you 💕💕

[@janinewoodhull3611]

I have enjoyed this back to basics journal! BTW, I can't do long nails either. And, isn't it funny how they will all of a sudden be too long (like overnight) and you just can't stand it until you shorten them?

[@craftycat7212]

Yes that’s exactly true! Thank you so much. I’m so happy you like the journal.❤️Amy

[@barbaraperna5536]
