Love this series…Being 82, I have over 55 years worth of “crafting supplies” available for journaling, collage, fabric or paper, and for most of the videos you have listed…let’s get started…I don’t know how many years I’ve got left and I want to get as much done as i possibly can!🤨🙏💐

I want to say you’re my kind of crafter. I absolutely love your humor. I heard about junk journal years ago but paid no mind to it because when I watched a few videos I was so discouraged that I didn’t have all the components to make a beautiful junk journal. Till as recent as maybe a month ago when I came upon a few junk journalers that caught my eye because they were speaking my language😂. Then I came upon your Chanel and you spoke even to the core of my type of junk journaling. Voila! Finally someone who I can relate too. So for the first time in my minimal crafting life, I made 3 disastrous junk journal that only I appreciate😊😊😊. BUT, I am going to continue making them till I can get it right.

Vivian, thank you for this sweet comment, it's really comments like yours that inspire me to continue making videos. I'm sorry you were discouraged before, crafting should be our outlet and joy and I hope I can inspire you to know that you have all you need to make projects that make you happy. I hope you will return, I'm happy you are here.

Thanks so much for watching Shelly and I hope you enjoy your box journals as much as you enjoy other forms of Junk Journaling. It's funny I use different types of journals for differnt things. For keepsake journals I use Old Hardcover books, but find paper box journals perfect for travel journals, ideas and notes. I also like them when I'm doing a weird shape and size.

Hi there! Thanks for watching. If I was doing a Birthday month themed journal I’d make sure to include the flower and gemstone of the month, maybe the zodiac sign and description too. I might dangle off the spine a gemstone or jewel dangle that the right color for the month. Research online ideas and digitals that you could download. Sounds Fun! ( ps- I might even include a secret birthday letter, tucked in a hidden spot for her to find later)

Hi Michelle. I am thinking of doing these with my third grade class. Will Elmer's glue in light layering with glue sticks work rather than glitter glue?
@MichelleRaeLandry
@MichelleRaeLandry Жыл бұрын
I love when kids do projects like this. Art Glitter Glue is expensive and yes… third graders don’t need to use that. I taught this with tweens and used glue sticks ( permanent). You can also use PVA glue or white glue for tiny details. Make sure you have popsicle sticks / tongue depressors to burnish the paper down if you use glue sticks. On the cover you would really want the kids to use those sticks to burnish and adhere the cover paper well.

Hi Michelle how do you decide what papers to put together for signitures? Thank you for all the info thus far
@MichelleRaeLandry
@MichelleRaeLandry 13 күн бұрын
I'm so sorry this comment is so late. For me it's just looking through my piles of papers and choosing ones that I feel go together, either colors or tones. It's just gut for me. Having said that I usually try to keep is simple with 4-5 types - I make piles and then do an assembly line. So let's say Music paper, graph paper, blank paper, lined paper, ledger paper. Then I just stack each signature the same way, or sometimes I do a variety of papers but make one signature just blank lined paper for writing. There's no right or wrong way, just the way that YOU like.

I feel weird and stupid for asking this, but since I'm brand new to junk journaling, WHAT are digitals and printables? I've done basic scrapbooking about 20 years ago, and I've never heard these terms. Thanks so much in advance. I'm truly interested in this type of craft, mainly because the journals are not typically humongous, such as the 12x12 scrapbooks from a major company.
@MichelleRaeLandry
@MichelleRaeLandry 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Anjo! Thanks for the question and for reminding me that when you begin there are some terms that we forget we didn't know at the beginning. In general terms a digital or a printable is essentially has the same definition... its a computer file that you download and print off your printer that includes all the things you need for a journal (background papers, tags, shapes, words etc. all curated into a theme) . Digital kits can be purchased on Etsy through hundreds of shops that specialize in every theme you can imagine! Digitals can also be just digitized ephemera (which is what I have in my shop). Those items can be printed off and used within a journal as embellishments or to help with collage or layouts. The beauty of digitals is you can use them over and over, you can print them at the size you need for your project and they take up no space to store. Some people are Junk Journal purists and only want to use original papers, found items, or perhaps someone without a printer isn't too interested in digitals. I never used printables at the beginning because I was so excited about vintage papers, but now I use both original papers and digitals. Several of the more popular Junk Journal channels have their own facebook pages where they often share free digitals if you wanted to try that out first, or there is a facebook group that literally only shares their own digitals. You can try those first and see if you like them. I also have a free valentines day digital that you can access through my last Tea With Me Episode. Download a printable and then see if you like it. There is no wrong or right regarding digital kits (printables) but people certainly are fans or not. I hope that answers your question.

I've done junk journals with Altered books for 15yrs. First time doing them from scratch and It looks easy but it's not. Getting those signatures to match with the papers is a real struggle. Especially if your cutter is not cooperating. I struggled last night was up till 3am

Oh I'm so sorry. One suggestion I give to someone doing their first one from scratch... find 8.5 x 11 sheets of paper and fold in half. Then make a cover to fit that - a box like a cereal box works great. I know this comment was from a while ago so I hope you got through it ok.

I find that these boxes are not sturdy enough. They are flimsy Am I using too much glue stick?
@MichelleRaeLandry
@MichelleRaeLandry Жыл бұрын
Hi Loretta! These books are not as strong as Buckboard for sure, but I enjoy the flexibility of them, they are closer to soft cover books, but I find them plenty sturdy for working in. Even if you put a lot of glue stick, once dried it shouldn't weaken the box. I don't know if some boxes are thinner than others... but one idea is cutting a rectangle of cardboard the size of the front and back and gluing that on top of the box before covering and that should really ensure the cover is sturdy if you are worried about it feeling or being too thin. I hope in the end you like your box journal. Best wishes to you.
