My Compostion Notebook/Glue Book/Art/Mixed Media/Junk Journal

[@lacreshaflowers5421]

I love this type of junk journal the best so far!! I don't want to see pages or harm a book that has already been printed and bound. I love books!! This is artistic and expressive and truly a journal that you can write in. Thank you to all of the women who have inspired this art.

[@lacreshaflowers5421]

It's great for stress relief, depression, fun, reflection, whatever it's your journal!! It doesn't have to be perfect or look a certain way, make it fun, make it your own custom journal. Laugh, cut, tear, glue, color, stamp, whatever, enjoy making your own custom junk journal.

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Lacresha Searcy I totally agree!

[@lindaallen2765]

It's just pure fun. I started a book while I was watching you.😅

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Agreed! Thank you for watching.

[@ginaashby6782]

I'm a first time glue booker etc you've given me some great ideas jst luv your composition book 😀

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@TurquoiseDreamingSheree]

Love your glue book, you have such great ideas, just discovered your channel today and subscribed thank you for sharing I look forward to watching more of your videos.♥️🙂

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Turquoise Dreaming Thank you so much!

[@LeticiaUPC]

Lovely! Therapy, that is pretty much what this is to me too!!

[@curli-lettey4319]

I love the chunkiness of your art journal, i have the same string of red balls but in pink. I have collected and saved potato chips bags, candy wrappers, ceral boxes ( to make photo album large ) art journals, ribbons, buttons, a whole ton of stickers. Whenever i stop by a dollar tree, i pick up a few composition books (especially the ones with designs) to be fully stocked.

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Thank you! Even after all the time that has passed, i still add things to it.

[@teenakrause7023]

Hi Crafty Aims I love your glue book.I have Two composition books that I was going to use all my Marilyn Monroe memorabilia not the expensive kind stuff tho,just pictures of her in magazine,quotes she has said,anything that reminds me of her I have always loved the glue book idea so thank you for showing how that you don’t need an expensive book to do this kind of art.These books have been in my closet for 4 years just waiting for this perfect idea to put it all together so thanks keep posting

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Thank you so much! The first time I seen this idea, I too fell in love with it and there are so many ways to do it. Thank you so much for commenting. Have a great day!

[@kathryncunningham8502]

I've been watching a ton of videos on altered composition books because I thought it was a good way to get the hang of junk journals and because I just love using a compo book. Yours is by far the best I've seen. I just love it and can't wait to get a book and get started. You've given me so many ideas that don't scare the crap out of me. LOL

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Exactly! No need to get scared. Just getting started is the hardest part, but once you get going you can't stop. Thank you so much for the comment. Have a great day!

[@debbiegreene1382]

Just seeing this video/idea. L❤️VE this idea. I want to do one of these...as soon as I get my craft room organized. I have a box of memorabilia that I'm sure will contribute to the contents. And I've already decided I'm going to title my book....A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS. Thanks for the inspiration ❣️

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

So glad you enjoyed it and the inspiration is flowing! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Have a great day!

[@MsNatualTee202]

Your journal is so Chunky & Beautiful, I really liked the themed pages & PomPoms on the paper edges!~

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

MsNatualTee202 Thank you so much!

[@ladylibrum7145]

I love this, real junk!! This like a "junk smash-glue book". Your style is similar to mine, haha

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

I love it!

[@tammylorenz2646]

Love it! I recently found out about junk journals. It is helping me get through a hard period inmy life.

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

So glad you like the video and it is helping you. I journal everyday pretty much and it helps me. Thanks for your comment. Have a great day!

[@brendadavisscrapitydoda1284]

I just Love your junk journal, you can do anything. I really enjoyed it so much. I just started my first junk jounral. I Love doing it , it is so relaxing and you can use your imaganation. So much fun.

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

I think that's why I am drawn to it. It is diverse and open to your imagination. Thank you so much for your comment. Have a great day!

[@heidymarie9715]

Beautiful work!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@dawnyWestScotland]

Loved this! ✂️📘☀️

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@fmliberatore599]

You have inspired me to pull out my old smash book. Nice stress reliever

[@sassafrasandscraps]

I love Liz Drake! And I love your journal! I’ve tried many times to work in a composition book and never really liked what I came up with. I think I may give it another try after watching your video! Thank you so much for the wonderful inspiration! ♥️

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Thank You! I wish she would continue doing them. She is such an inspiration for me for a couple of her crafts. Anyway, thank you for your wonderful comment. It is nice to know if I am actually helping people. That is my goal. Thank you for your encouragement! Have a great day!

[@sassafrasandscraps]

Crafty Aims Workshop 😍

[@marilyntorsch3970]

I love your composition book. I’ve made one and it is really fun. I’m not artistic at all but I can glue stuff on pages. Thank you for sharing 🤗

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Thank you so much!

[@virginiawimer8064]

I love your journal! Gave me lots of ideas.

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Hello Virginia! So glad this has helped you out. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great day!

[@dangell8984]

Your the first person I get. I totally get. I was so happy to find your video! It doesn't have to be perfect, no rules. It is just about me and to help me to take things off my mind. Do something positive and happy to alter whatever is going on. Crafting is a wonderful thing. But I got hung up because it wouldn't look beautiful and perfect like everyone else's. Now I know it's not supposed to. It's suppose to be about me and my personality and likes etc. I don't even need to buy anything. Love this so much!!! Thank you ok?

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Crafty Angells YES! Thank you! You got it exactly. I just got home and saw an empty envelope on the table, and thought, no one has any excuses. If they really want to craft or use craft as an outlet, than there is no excuse. You can make it happen and you don’t even have to buy materials to do it. Just use what is at your fingertips. And don’t worry if it’s perfect. It’s not about that at all. Thank you for your comment and I am so glad that I have inspired you. Have a great one!

[@PaperKitty99]

Love the Pomp pomp trim !💕. I also enjoy playing with junk journals etc and sharing on KZbin 🌸

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

PaperKitty 99 Thank you!

[@Neferkit1]

I love your gluebook! I have one that's well on the way to being finished and I started a second one already. Lol. They're so much fun to work in!

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Thank you so much! I love working in it. It is therapeutic just glueing things down or slapping some paint on it, or when I feel really creative and going for it. it is a do it all book for me. It's not something that has to be perfect and just with that mind set sometimes I can come up with some pretty creative things. Love this book. One of my favorites really. I am glad you liked it, and thank you so much for commenting!

[@JuliaMcNeillCrafts]

Love your journal love your pages ... loved the whimsical bird page & the Pom Pom ribbons done the side of some of the pages x

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Julia McNeill Crafts Thank you so much!

[@whatever123651]

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Thanks! I have a ton of it right now so I will probably have another video soon on it. Thanks for commenting!

[@roxangel6271]

A girl after my own heart! I save bags wrappers boxes ect. It's all art! I love your book! Thanks for sharing! Great ideas!!! I can't wait to make one with wrappers from Halloween food. Count Chocula m&m's ect. Saw a cute junk journal done with these things.

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

freja Howells Thank you!

[@luwandaartrelle4250]

I like those pom poms things on the edge. Where did you find them?

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

I can't be sure where but I have seen them at Michael's, Hobby Lobby, and, I believe, Walmart.

[@luwandaartrelle4250]

Ok. Thank you.

[@susanthatcher126]

Your glue book is awesome

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@CorbinzCorner]

I really like how you added so much character to the Wendy's bag.

Good job Amy!

[@dr.amyanna9235]

Great journal! Where did you get the black pages with the white drawings? Like the elephant? Is it a paper pad? Keep up the wonderful art! 👋👍🌹💯😁‼️

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Amy Anna I found it a year or two back at Kinnucans clothing. It’s a coloring book. I have seen them at other places as well. Try your local craft store or large book stores. Thank you!

Sooooo cool! Great tutorial! 💎XO🌹XO💘XO💜XO💎

Thank you so much!

[@faithgilfillan4777]

Oh my goodness I love the the Reeses page, how cool 😎 I've been also saving mine from the Easter bags I bought. Now I know what to do with them. Thanks for the inspiration. Have you ever heard of Kagedfish? She does the scavenger hunt glue books I just thought you might wanna know because your book reminds me of hers so much. She's really good and funny. Well, have a blessed day.

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

I have watched many videos of hers. Love her. I will check out the scavenger hunt ones. That would be right up my alley! Thank you for your kindness! Have a great day! May God bless you today and every day!

[@kkossor3046]

Thank you so much! I didn’t even recognize “Wendy” when you were done! Very creative. I’ve just started my “Big Fatty” (I also follow Liz LOL) The Gelato’s kind of take it to a whole new level! I also subscribed. Thanks again.

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

kkossor Thank you so much! I will probably add more to her later but I am so glad you liked it. Thank you so much for subscribing!

😂 Enjoyed the Flip through.

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Thank you so much!

[@lisebedard7247]

Did you glue 2 pages of your composition book together throughout to make the pages stronger.

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

I did not glue pages together. But you can if you want. There is no right or wrong way to do this. Thank you your question. Hope you have a great day!

[@originalsithv4849]

I be more interested in who you made the book but I could probably do it but I'm still interested

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

I will add that to my list of videos I would like to do. Thanks for commenting. Have a great day!

[@shannonholmes5695]

What glue did you use to adhere the gem ribbon to the book???

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Shannon Holmes, I believe I used Aleene’s Tacky Glue. I used paper clips/clamps. Works like a charm. And it’s still holding up perfectly.

[@shannonholmes5695]

@@CraftyAimsWorkshop Thanks! I ended up using some hot glue. I will use tacky glue next time.

[@lisamorales3914]

Mindless fun! Yes!

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Lisa Morales Absolutely!!!

[@DebbyLong777]

I am new to JJ. Thinking a altered book or composition book might be a place to start. Some videos show you tearing out every other page, Do you have any thoughts on this ?

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Yes. I just did a series of videos just recently on making a junk journal from an old encyclopedia. Go to my playlist and check it out. Thank you for your question!

[@beverlyshaffer58]

Great!!

[@judyluthy9724]

I'm actually doing something like this...before I even realized it was a 'thing' The difference is that it works as a 'picture journal' -- I journal through the pictures/stuff I create.

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Judy Luthy Good idea!

[@lovelyscraftinglodge]

Hahahha you said "no biggie" about the Wendy's bag. Lol. That's the size there right? Biggie. Lol.

It's Therapeutic....I Love making them and Journaling in mine.

The word MOM is in the Wendy girl logo. It's her collar.

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

I noticed that too! I thought that was interesting. I wonder if they did that on purpose? Thanks for commenting. Have a great day!

[@specialk8927]

Do you write in it

[@CraftyAimsWorkshop]

Special K You can write in it. I am in nursing school right now so there is no time to play in it, but when I get back to it, I probably will. Make it work for you. If you just want to paste things down then do that. You are free to make it you very own creation. Thank you for commenting! Have a great day!
