You Won’t Believe My Finds at DOLLAR TREE For Junk Journaling!

[@alta2113]

Great ideas! Would love to see how you use the calendars, resin powders and dish mat!

[@karatootie]

Coming soon! 💗💗💗💗

[@penny5616]

The resin powder can be added to clear mod podge or matte media in your mixed media art.

[@jenniecarroll9185]

Oh I want to try that now! Thanks for the tip!

[@angelaguinnip7269]

GREAT tip! Thank you!

[@GardeniasandGrace]

Would love to see your take on tassels, the resin, and the dish drying mat! ❤ Great haul!!

[@home.and.heart.]

Cute ideas! In case nobody has answered, it is pronounced "GROWGRAIN" ribbon.😊

[@karatootie]

Like growing flowers?! This is just like the time that I found out that toile was pronounced twall??!! Thank you!!!! 💗💗💗

[@home.and.heart.]

@karatootie Yes, just one word pronounced "growgrain" . It is French, I believe, like toile. You are very welcome!😉

[@LisasHauls]

The paper pads remind me of “homemade “ paper, great haul. 12:17

[@staceyhaleysmit3451]

I could totally see making a journal cover out that drying mat… adding floral fabric to the top of it….and sewing it on like a quilt style so you sew around the edges of a flower border so it emphasizes it on the mat and you could even go as far as to do a little slow stitch on it as well… oh the possibilities..add crocheted doilies parts to it as well.❤

[@mrs.brayman4840]

The dish drying mat looks like it would make a good cover for a journal or book. Can hardly wait to see what you make😊

[@LindaGraham-ye8zb]

Very beautiful gorgeous haul journal cover

[@lisam3708]

I would like to see a video making tassels with yarn. Also how would you use resin powder in your journal?

[@makingjoyfuljournals]

I see the dish mat as a journal cover. I love the alpha/number stamps. I didn't cut mine apart and just stamp them as one background stamp. Made some nice journal cards with it.

[@debrapete995]

Love your Dollar Tree hauls. I'm so jealous that our Dollar Trees do not have the all the cool stuff you find. I answer YES to all the questions that ask "do you want to see me..." 🤣Re: the drying mat, I'm journal cover but will be waiting for the reveal. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@Cherry-ei7rq]

I know, wonder whats up with that. our $tree doesnt either and i do go down every isle.

[@conneeboulmay3431]

Your Dollar is fantastic!

[@colleenc_2serendipity123]

Thanks for sharing! Great haul. Our local Dollar Tree is stepping up to a Dollar Tree +, so I am excited to find $3 and $5 items!! Take care and may God bless you and your family today, tomorrow and always! 🤗🫂💕

[@rncollie1]

I love planner fun. I use one as a gratitude journal.

[@karatootie]

I LOOOOOOVE that!! Great idea!! 💗💗💗

[@Idagramos]

BTW, I love your scripture sharing!! Great and special touch to your videos. God bless you!

[@karatootie]

Thank you so much! I am just His vessel! Glad you are enjoying the videos! 💗💗💗

[@patriciadistefano7467]

Thanks for sharing!

[@amandadodd6940]

Yes to a video showing how you would use the dish drying mat! And also, show us how you would implement the calendar pages!

[@odettagonzalez4355]

Hello Ingrid my dearest friend❤! I’m loving all your Hauls, creativity and of course your greatest personality😊❤Take Care God Bless you,Andy our family always😘

[@jenniferwilliams7]

I love seeing what you can get at your Dollar Tree. The Dollar Trees in my area have none of those crafting items or planners. I just recently saw they had added a small section of the wallpapers. But I really wish they would get the items like you showed today. I look forward to seeing how you use them, especially the resins. 🙂

[@karatootie]

It’s so sad when they don’t sell what people want! It’s like the coin envelopes I had been looking for months without any luck and then finally found them…and never again! I hope that your DT starts carrying more crafting stuff for you!! 💗💗💗

[@Craftytw]

Great haul! My Dollar Tree is always a bust when I go searching for what I see in DT hauls. 😐 I’m a planner girl but not in the typical sense. It’s a combination of to do’s, Bible reading, current projects, current events,weather and daily life…plus lots of stickers. 😬

[@tripletgirl2484]

I have seen the wall papers and stamps. I don’t usually use a planner, not sure why😄 I used a placemat from DT to make a journal cover. They are 100% Polyester and easy to free style sew with my machine. Those wall papers are beautiful and are easy to use as a cover. Look forward to seeing what you create with the drying mat! Thanks for your DT hauls, always fun!

[@erlyne0]

Ohhhhh I'm so glad you showed the inside of the journals, especially the yellow leopard cover. I probably would have skipper over them because I'm not a fan of the cover, but the pages inside are fantastic! I bought the alphabet stamps, too, but need to sit down with a paper cutter to separate the letters - they're pretty much all stuck together.

[@dianeswanson3107]

Love seeing your hauls and just wish I could find the same things that you find.

[@jeanadamsick9854]

HI THERE INGRID, I'M NEW HERE ON YOUR CHANNEL. I LOVE DOLLAR TREE!!!! MY AREA, IS ON THAT HAS A SMALL STORE & NOT MUCH FOR THE CRAFT SECTION. I TRAVEL TO THREE OTHER DOLLAR TREE STORES THAT, ARE A BIT BIGER & CARRY DIFFRENT THINGS. I DON'T DO JOURNALS, INSTEAD I DO CARDS & TAGS. ** OK INGRID, MY GUESS IS THE, * DISH DRYING MAT* YOU CAN USE AS A, * JOURNAL COVER *.? WOW, THAT BIRD & BRANCH, WALL PAPERD, IS SOOO COOL!!! Do take care. Fl..

[@robinsismai9085]

yes to the planning! I have the stamps & the mica powders. I saw a video once that mixed the mica powders into matte medium to make a sort of sparkly texture paste to use with stencils. I want to know what you're going to make with the dish drying mat. A journal cover?

[@donnapecoraro3126]

I keep checking for the paper packs, they are amazing, haven't had them for a good while. Good buys I found were 3 sizes of coin envelopes, baker's twine, 9 different colors!, pearl strips, transfers, antique-y puffy stickers, a good craft glue dupe to art glitter glue.

[@ellendion4061]

journal cover, great idea. love all your picks. I wish I could find a Dollar Tree that has these things. Still on my search. LOL

[@karatootie]

Thank you! Don’t give up…they will come! 💗💗💗

[@browngrl8178]

Yes to a planner video! I would love to see how you create in a planner. That is the video I’ve been wanting. :) Thank you for sharing your hauls and ideas.

[@HBurch2017]

Thank you for sharing your Dollar tree haul.

[@berta1048]

Love your ideas, love the colored papers.

[@themistressladyg]

Going to try my first junk journal planner for next year. :)

[@angelaperkins7538]

My guess would be your making a trifold journal with the drying matt. Can't wait to see what ever you do with it!!

[@susanhill5958]

I love all of your videos!!! Going shopping with you is always fun and I can’t wait to see what you do with the drying mat! 😂🩷

[@Idagramos]

Thank you for sharing, great video. Yes! I would love to learn how to make a tassel using yarn please. Thank you!

[@karatootie]

Thank you so much! Did you mean the fabric ones? If you didn’t and you meant yard there’s already a video posted 💗💗💗

[@LalasCrafting]

I love the colors too😍I’m excited for what you are going to do with the mat😊and thank you for the nice words in the end of the video 🥰

[@sheilajohnson6356]

I am new to the world of junk journaling and I am excited to get started! Just happened to run across your video today. Thanks for the ideas! i think you will use the drying mat as a journal cover. I am on my way to my local store today. :)

[@careybarnaba6233]

I subscribed to your channel a couple days ago! Enjoyed watching you💞

[@karatootie]

@@careybarnaba6233 That’s awesome Carey! A big warm welcome!!! So happy to have you!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@susanmorales8675]

I’m heading for my Dollar Tree. You had some great finds. Also, I’m now subscribed.

[@MissCupidLove]

You may have mentioned this in other videos, but I love looking at the kids picture books! Sometimes they have really cool space and nature themed books, and always character books

[@karatootie]

Yes! That is such a great idea! I’ll make sure to look through more of them next time! I’m usually looking for books to alter, but you’re absolutely right…they’d be great to add as pages!! Thank you! 💗

[@linaleblanc8288]

I love those scrap paper packs

[@staceyhaleysmit3451]

I ❤loving Dollar tree videos lately. I have been loving the school supplies..I have been picking up cute print folders to re-do my my planners covers and the inserts… love watching your videos. I have seen the resin with molds and earlier they had the pourable resin..

[@whatjenren]

Gonna have to keep an eye out for those notebooks ❤ thx for sharing

[@creshalu]

I found those large letters and numbers a month or 2 ago at Dollar Tree and I love them!

[@karatootie]

They’re so great I can’t wait to use them! Did you cut yours up or use them solid?

[@creshalu]

@@karatootie I used them solid the first time to test them but I plan to cut them up to mix and match like I did with the smaller ones I found there.

[@anitaluellen4157]

With the gingham ribbons, I'm thinking orange...autumn/Halloween, red/green...Christmas Holidays. Black...almost any time!

[@karatootie]

Yes black and white is universal for me too! I use it as a neutral!! 🖤🤍🖤

[@janetingacollins6409]

Your Dollar Tree is so neat and orderly. This is a rare find. Mine never seems to have any of the crafty items show in the videos.

[@karatootie]

I feel like that sometimes too! you should check out my newest dollar tree video. I stumbled across this amazing store. I still can’t understand why they can’t all be like this? 💗

[@dianenoble5553]

I love all of your videos and the Dollar Tree hauls. :)

[@melissamcdonald7180]

Great haul.

[@jasminecozyjournalers]

Thank you! I do not have stores like this where I live so I am loving this ☺️

[@karatootie]

I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Are you in another country? Thank you for your comment! 💗

[@anitaluellen4157]

Yes, I've used calendar pages in my journals. If they are thin paper, I glue them to another page for support.

[@karatootie]

That is such a great idea! Thank you for all your comments!! 💗🫶🏼

[@Frankie860]

You have “forced” me to go shopping Ingrid! $$$$ Great video. Yes I’d like to see how you make yarn tassels. Thank you!

[@karatootie]

That is my superpower I guess…not all hero’s wear capes! 😂 But the real question is did you go? Whadya score?!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@shabbyrosecreationsbykem]

I'd say a cool journal cover 😊

[@karatootie]

I think that’s a great guess! Stay tuned for the video (coming soon!) 💗💗💗 Thank you for your comment! 🫶🏼

[@jeanneelliott5956]

Thanks! Believe it or not, I have NOT seen most of the stuff you showed at our Dollar Tree yet.... sadly!!!!

[@robinepling1210]

Yes I agree with journal cover. Can't air to see your next video. ❤

[@gardenguru1008]

I'm a Happy planner gal. Also, I love the wallpaper that you chose. I have the birds in my craft room.

[@karatootie]

Do you have the paper on your walls? I bet it looks spectacular!! 💗💗💗

[@karatootie]

Yay for Happy Planner 🫶🏼

[@beth6546]

Use it as a cover. You could use it with paint for a different effect. Cut it up and add dimension to a page.

[@SherriOlson-er2xr]

Enjoyed the video. I would love to dry coffee/ tea dyed papers on the drying mat. With just a gentle press into the ‘waffle’ texture into the mat

[@karatootie]

Sherri that is an awesome idea! I’m going to have to try that out for sure!! 💗💗💗

[@debbiesykes5491]

I cook from scratch and so I used the mat put different scraps of material sewed on one side and use it for hot cassarole dish on my table Looks great and I have two sides to use.

[@shannonanastasio727]

Love your videos and love of God?

[@DJ_Dutchess]

The calendars that have the dark ink can be used for junk journaling. You can glue two pages together to thicken them

[@boosmimi2]

Love the haul! I think you will use the mat as a journal cover. ❤

[@Prettieshabbystudio]

Roll paint on the mat and print on paper and use paper for junk journal or any type journal.

[@Danielleb723]

Grosgrain is pronounced like Rogaine with a g.

[@katrineleber7238]

Like grow grain. I love ribbon.

[@chizchick938]

I found the resin and epoxy for it about a month ago at my dollartree. Also the ribbon is pronounced "grow" grain, in case no one else commented 😊 love your videos, thanks for sharing with us!

[@karatootie]

Did you get the resin and epoxy?! I’m so curious how it works! I’m still holding out hope that I’ll find it 😂 I still cannot wrap my brain around “grow”?! Like how 😂 Thank you for your comment! Helping me to pronounce grosgrain! And for your sweet words that have filled my heart!! 💗💗💗

[@SherryHill-k5y]

I was at at a local Dollar Tree yesterday, saw the resin and didn't get it! Love their paper packets but must have been sold out. Yes I have used calendar pages in my junk journals and the effect is awesome! Also found no ink pads. With that said, your videos send people running to Dollar Tree!

[@ChristineScott-s6h]

I'm a procrastator so planning doesn't always work for me. I meet all my deadlines but I work better under pressure, lol. I try to plan but never seem to keep up with it. However, I do have a list of must try crafts in my phone!

[@karatootie]

Well we may be long lost siblings! I kinda work the same way. I don’t do well with meeting goals per se. I hope you watch my planning video once I make it 😂 and release it…I’d love to get your take on it! 💗💗💗

[@rexibunners2749]

YES to the planning!! I need help staying on track with writing in mine.

[@karatootie]

The struggle is real! Stay tuned! 💗💗💗

[@Kat-gx3se]

Hi........Grosgrain is pronounced Growgrain..........Great video.😃

[@juliecurtis9517]

I stop at every Dollar Tree I find because they all carry different items than other locations. I am a card maker, crocheted, embroiderer, and junk/collage journalist. I don't do planners. However, I do a monthly calendar on my fridge dry eraser board. I'm retired and just not busy enough to need a planner lol

[@karatootie]

Yes! I totally agree Julie! It is a wonderful place to find treasures! I can totally understand not having a need for planning…aloughhhhhh creative planning is a lot of fun! Thank you for your comments!! 💗💗💗

[@lauraharmon659]

Junk Journal Cover, the brown thingy!

[@karatootie]

Lol! That took me a minute 😂 Coming soon! 💗🫶🏼💗

[@barbarahatfield8027]

Hi I’m new to your channel I have the num letter stamp. For the resin I never saw but I did not pay attention We have a dollarama not a dollar tree but I ll look for these item thanks for sharing 😊

[@karatootie]

Haiiiii!!! Welcome!! 💗💗💗 Dollarama?! I feel like I need one of these in my life! Are you up North? I lived in Michigan for a short period of time and I had a store bookmarked to visit and unfortunately I never got to! I wonder if it’s the same?

[@KimberlyChristy-ql8ww]

Great haul 😊

[@karatootie]

Thank you! 🤗 Glad you enjoyed it!! 💗

[@morganandwong]

Wow! Those paper packs :57 are so cute! I have to get back to my Dollar tree and check it out. Although now that I've seen them opened up they were a little less cute. But I love that leopard print notebook with the yellow striped pages! That would be great for teaching kids to write and stay on the lines with their handwriting.

[@karatootie]

I am so in love with that yellow paper! They should make wiring paper for kids cute like that!! I bet it would be a motivating tool! lol on the paper! It’s actually really cool! It resembles handmade paper 💗

[@juanitaromar9896]

Nice stuff 🌸Makes me want to go to the dollar tree right now, lol 😂and it’s closed right now

[@debjones1028]

I think those drying mats being used would be great to see. I like the idea of using something off the norm.

[@karatootie]

Me too Deb! It makes treasure hunting more fun doesn’t it?! Stay tuned…video coming soon! 💗💗💗

[@stormyswann6177]

I use my planner to craft my week after the week. An artsy creative kind of ??? Jj or scrapbook. I would love to see someone else do this for ideas.

7:43 hi I am new here and I love the dollar tree. I actually made a junk journal out of this one already ❤

Hi Ingrid, those stamp pads can be hit or miss. I bought two and they were both dried out. Some people have bought them and they were fine.

[@karatootie]

That is so disappointing! Were you able to return them?

I love your videos, Ingrid. My closest DT is not worth a darn. The DT I love is 45 miles away, but it's awesome. I would use the dish mat as a journal cover. ❤❤❤

[@karatootie]

I think that it all depends on the managers too! I wonder if they have any say on what they order? DT should I hire me….I would whip them into shape! 💪♥️

[@renmo3974]

I like buying planning stuff but I don’t actually plan!😅. I never buy a calendar/planner that has 2 years in the same book. I look forward to seeing how you use the mica.

[@nonnas_journal]

Great haul! Haven’t seen those wallpaper patterns yet but thanks for sharing cuz they are great and I will be hunting for them! I’ve seen the other items. Will be interested to see how you use resin for journals. I’m guessing you’ll use the drying mate as either a cover or inside a cover. I don’t use a planner. I live the concept just find it easier to use my iPhone calendar and also not add more weight to my purse! Pretty new to your channel but I am loving it! God bless!

[@Readeropolis]

I saw the resins in two stores for the first time this week. I picked the resins up and then put them back because I couldn't think of what to do with them. 😂

[@thedafarmer1305]

Yes, I am interested in planners.. I've bought a number of notebooks but can't make up my mind. I love paper, increasing the difficulty in making choices.

[@tanyalynn8687]

The resin and stamps are new to me. Haven’t seen them in my Dollar Tree.

[@karatootie]

Debra I have to tell you something! I had forgotten to add encouraging words today. I had already uploaded the video and filled out all the things. And I felt an urge to redo it. I feel pretty certain that they were for you! God is so amazing!! 🙌🏼 And He sees you and LOVES you! Praying for healing during this time. I know how much our fur babies mean and the impact that they have on our homes and HEARTS! Sending you a big hug my friend! 💗💗💗

[@dorisandujar8277]

The right pronunciation of the ribbon is "grow" grain the s' are silent. I think you're making a journal cover with the dying mat. I love the paper packs too. Some of the papers I've gotten were with plant particles in them not sure what they are called. Thanks for sharing and showing what's at DT

[@lisawarner1556]

I would definitely like to learn how to make a tassel out of yarn. I’m not into planning - I’m retired and living at the beach. I just take it one day at a time. I loved what you brought home! I would think you would make a journal cover out of the dish drying mat.

[@karatootie]

Lisa we cannot skirt around the issue here. Of course I would love to come visit or move in and share that beach with you!! 😂 Although the type of planning I’m going to show, you may like. I would love to hear your take on it! 💗💗💗🌊 Ps are you in Fl?

[@lynnmyers1504]

Love the wallpapers. I'm honestly surprised by the mica powders for resin. My daughter works for Dollar Tree, and she said they were discontinuing the resin craft line of items.

[@karatootie]

So you’re royalty?! 💗💗💗 I’m so jealous that she works there! Do you get dibs on new products?! There’s one thing for sure an DT…you never know what you’re going to find! 💗💗💗 Do you happen to know if the mangers or any staff has say on what gets ordered per store?

[@MsMonica38]

How would you use the resin powder in the journals? I wish my dollar tree had all this stuff!

[@rexibunners2749]

I added them to individual containers of clear gesso. Makes a pretty shimmery topcoat. I have another pack i want to add to spray bottles filled with rubbing alcohol to make my own mica sprays

[@robinpowell2712]

I would be interested if that's good yarn for crochet. I have used calendars in journals. I wonder if the ink pads are good. I like the rubber stamps with numbers. My Dollar Store is small. No, I don't do planners. I use calendars, including my phone.

[@anitaroberts7529]

[@TheLively25]

Haven't seen the resin and am anxious to see how to use it.
