#junkjournaljanuary2024

A huge thank you to @megjournals for the wonderful prompt list and inspiration. I knew the coming week would be busy, so I worked ahead and completed the pages for days 1-10, all utilizing my vision for the prompt and little bits of scrap lace. Thank you all for joining the fun, for watching and for your kindness. Take care and happy creating.

[@ilakaiser3778]

Some lovely new ideas. Thank you for sharing. 💜🐞

[@CoriDahmen]

Your projects show so much inspiration Cori. Love all the different ways you're using those little bits of lace! TFS

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you, Maggie and thank you for joining in. I see you've got another video up... looking forward to enjoying your inspiration!

[@CoriDahmen]

So good to hear that, thank you!!

[@shelleyroy9667]

My word for this year is Reclaim! I'm reclaiming myself at the soul level.... I love the quote and I really like the size of your journal.

[@CoriDahmen]

[@katcapa2367]

Thank You Cori....I love your ideas and how you explain. You are so sweet. I am doing the lace bits and Junk journal January. Look forward to seeing you again. Kat

[@CoriDahmen]

Oh excellent. So glad you're joining in. Thank you and happy creating!

[@barbaracheatham692]

Love how your work is so precise. I love both styles, neat and precise and messy and uneven. My brain is neat and my heart is messy…❤. I just wish I had half of the creativity that you possess. Your skill in and out of your craft room are amazing. I once tried working with a bandsaw and sold it very quickly for fear of losing a finger.😂

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you and hmmmmm. A bandsaw is one of the few tools I don't yet have. Maybe I should stay away!

[@yolandewilchowy5625]

Cori, loved this episode! Going to use some(many!) of your ideas in '24. Spent the last while binge watching some of your earlier videos and just wanted to leave you and your subscribers a great tip my sister passed on to me. I know how much you love your diecuts but hate having to clean out the tiny cutouts. Simply put a fabric softener sheet on your bottom plate, place your paper on top, place die, run through, and remove your cut paper, it'll leave behind all the little bits on the fabric sheet. Works like a charm! Thanks for all your great videos!

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you for the kindness and for that fantastic tip! I'm looking forward to giving it a go 😊

[@SunflowersAndDors]

Fabulous video as always, got my word doc out and frantically making notes as I'm watching, so much inspiration so thank you for sharing Cori! Sending lots of hugs ❤❤❤

[@CoriDahmen]

I love hearing that, Mandy. Thank you so very much and happy creating to you!

[@LindaMZH65]

Looking good so far, you have the best ideas. 😘

[@CoriDahmen]

You are too kind, thank you!

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Can’t wait to see more. You always inspire me so much! Hope your 2024 is going great. Mine has been a ruff start! Looking for brighter days ahead!

[@CoriDahmen]

Oh Jamie, I'm sorry your year has been tough. Mine too, so I can completely sympathize. I hope it quickly turns around and brightens up for both of us! Thank you and bless you ❤️

Thank you! 😊

[@jeweltompkins8532]

Fabulous. And thank you. I have a huge drawer of lace that I rarely use. Because if your inspiration, I am making intentional use of lace throughout my JJJ book. (My word for 2024 is "intentioal.")

[@CoriDahmen]

Intentional is a fantabulous word and I'm so happy to hear that you're using your lace-y treasures!

[@junkjournalgems1534]

Thank you ❤️

[@lma1028]

Great ideas.

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you!

[@hjkh1998]

Absolutely stunning. I was wondering if you could show how you make your journal to put the pages in. It looks very intriguing. I have creating paralysis when it comes to journals like this because the become alligator mouth journals and it's really not how I want my journals to look... I really enjoy watching you. So creative!!!! Thank you!

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you and I've shared this spine system in the last few months.... it should be in a video about 3-5 back.

[@marisolmendez1755]

What can I say about this one beautiful journal and your humbleness heart when saying that it is not your idea…well amazing. ❤ You Mrs. Cori are one of the most talented journalists people I have ever seen. All of your fine works are the most inspiring. I’ll start seeing videos of journalism because of you and the way you explain everything that makes me start making some journals for me, for my sisters, friends and family (even one of my grandchild-niece wanted to learn and ask me to teach her, so together we watched your videos and enjoy). Thank you so much for sharing and teaching us on how to make beautiful “books “ ! ❤ We love you 🥰

[@CoriDahmen]

What a sweetly thoughtful and immensely kind comment. Thank you, Marisol, for taking the time to brighten my week. I love learning from others and appreciate all the inspiration I receive. It's truly my pleasure to pass that on to others. Bless you and happy creating ❤️

[@kerynokeeffe9133]

Thank you, Cori! Gorgeous pages! Maybe the lovely fabric in the christening gown is what we used to call voile (think this is the spelling, pronounced like foil except with a “v”). Do not know if this fabric is still available. 😀💞

[@CoriDahmen]

Excellent thought, Keryn! It very well could be. I just know that it is very thin and sheer. It sure is pretty to look at and tough as well 😊

[@carolbeeding4270]

[@susangazawaypapercrafting3749]

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you and happy creating!

[@pamelaferraro3095]

I love the different interactive pages. I can't seem to figure out the one you did with the corner insert to fit the angled pocket at time 3:06. Have you demonstrated that techinque before. I like it so much as you teach and explain things. It is so helpful.

[@CoriDahmen]

Hi Pamela! I think/hope I answered your question in my latest video.... I hope. If not, please let me know and I'll try to get more specific.
