What's the longest you've ever hoarded anything? I think my record is about 15 years. 😂🙈

[@lifeisagame2023]

44 and a half years. Once a hoarder always a hoarder 😂😅😊

[@journalingplanet]

😂😂😂 that's a hard habit to break.

@lifeisagame2023 😂🙈🙈🙈

[@SandiMo77]

As long as I've been crafting - about 10 years!

[@robertakeirn1870]

Love this little journal, my suggestion would be making this as an accordion journal using bigger scraps of paper as the base. Win, win. 🖤

[@journalingplanet]

Yes, definitely a great option. I'm doing another accordion video soon so I thought I'd mix things up a bit but I agree that it's the perfect way of using bigger lengths of paper. Thank you for taking the time to share!

[@neverwares]

I do a similar thing in my junk journal. Once I finish a project I decorate a page or two with the remnants. It’s turning into a great little art journal that way. I’m sure I’ll really enjoy looking back at my various projects later

[@journalingplanet]

That's wonderful. I love that you get to keep the remnants and remember the positive time you spent creating!

[@craftingexperiments-StellaT]

I do like the idea of keeping some of our precious scraps. I think I would make an A4 master-board and use that as the cover of my next journal..... sort of passing the memory from one project to the other, for continuity. Thank you for the lovely idea.

[@journalingplanet]

I absolutely love that idea! What a wonderful way to connect projects. ❤️

[@SandiMo77]

I LOVE this idea. I appreciate the thinking you gave to be able to preserve your project in a mini form. Never ever thought of this, so thank you once again for such a creative idea. One could also make a few tags with the scraps to preserve the project.

[@journalingplanet]

Ah, I'm so glad you like the idea! It was so much fun to make. And yes, making tags is a great idea!

[@joannepeyton1654]

Hi Helen: I love the way you tied in both projects. Good video on your message of hoarding. I stopped hoarding years ago. Whatever it is, cannot be appreciated in a drawer. Spread the beauty. Same with my fabrics. I make things and give them away. BTW, that Statue of Liberty stencil is so cool. I was born not too far from her. 💜😎🇺🇸

[@journalingplanet]

YES! Brilliant beauty definitely cannot be appreciated while it's stuck in a drawer! Well done on beating the impulse to hoard stuff. I love the statue of liberty and NYC in general. A great area to be born in!

[@CuriousMoonDesign]

Hi Hoarding & crafting just fit together... i think there's a song in the making😂. Great share . Happy crafting 💕

[@journalingplanet]

😂😂😂 I know I'm just trying to keep it to reasonable levels here.

[@shawnrowell6195]

You are brilliant! I have little bits of paper from projects past that have gotten all shuffled together. It would be so nice fitted together in its own little book.

[@journalingplanet]

Hehe. I think we often think that things like these don't deserve their own book but I think it serves soany purposes to honour the paper in this way.

[@doreethorpe4800]

I like this idea. I always seen to have a bundle of leftovers specific to the project in addition to tons of off cuts. This is a nice way to handle the specific leftovers. Thanks for sharing your idea and I hope you are well very soon!❤

[@journalingplanet]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like the idea it is so much fun to put these things together. I hope I will be better soon too. Colds are SO BORING 😂

[@treasureonpaper]

❤❤❤❤!! Thank you for this idea. I never thought about using a posca with the stencils. 👏👏👏

[@journalingplanet]

Oooh yes, I love posca stencilling! It's a lot of fun. I'm so glad the video was useful. ❤️

[@treasureonpaper]

I forgot to respond to your question of how would we use this for our scraps. I'm thinking of adding scraps to the first 2-4 pages of my Glue Book projects. I could glue them in as I go. Thank you for your inspiration 🥰

[@journalingplanet]

@treasureonpaper that's a great idea! Then they are all preserved in one place. I love it. ❤️

[@TheNerdJournals]

looooove this idea. I just have pages at the back of my journal where I paste bits and bobs. :) feel better!

[@journalingplanet]

That's a great idea too - to use the back pages of the journal itself. In my case I was giving it away so wanted a little memento of the project. I'm so glad you like the result!

[@lindsaymurray3761]

What a good idea !

[@journalingplanet]

Thank you! I hope it's helpful. ❤️

[@LidaJoy]

I like the concept of creating a mini journal for simply collaging bits of scraps! My scraps are getting out of hand…mostly of Vintage & Antique book pages, magazine bits, and painty papers that I’ve created. I think I’m going to have to do this asap! Thanks for sharing, hope you feel better soon Helen! ❤

[@journalingplanet]

Ah, thanks Alida. I'm so glad the video is helpful. Scraps will always multiply like beautiful little Gremlins. 😂 I think projects like this can help however. I hope you enjoy making the journal. ❤️

[@LidaJoy]

@@journalingplanet The little Gremlins also like to take and hide supplies too! 😝

[@journalingplanet]

@LidaJoy 😂😂😂 glad to know they don't just do that to me!

[@CarolineontheHillside]

Hi Helen! I love this idea to keep our scrappy memories in one style and solely for this purpose . You made it so simple and easy to create, not intimidating at all….oooh great idea for kids and there little papers too!🌸

[@journalingplanet]

Aw, yes. It's lovely when kids take an early interest in papers and glue! I'm so glad you like the idea. Thank you for taking the time to comment. ❤️

[@donnaborda]

Is there any way you could include a picture of the project in the folio? That would be a good reminder for you.

[@journalingplanet]

Yes I think that would be wonderful! This project was captured on video for me but for the ones I don't film I'm definitely going to add a photo. Thanks for the suggestion!! ❤️
