I started out years ago not able to make journals and now I can. The best thing is they don’t cost a lot of money, only some imagination and glue. I feel like I’m making a difference, adding beauty, less waste. Thank you!

[@janetbaker3616]

I LOVE how you always make several examples of your projects to give your viewers inspiration and motivation.

[@debbieomi]

I lead a craft class at our community senior center each month. I've been wanting to make a journal but it needed to be a one class project. THIS is perfect for that! I can pre-cut the folders and have the embellishments ready to save a few more minutes. Once they discover journal making and fall in love with it like the rest of us, we'll set up an alternate craft class just for journals. :-) Thanks for the inspiration!

[@melindamarie6139]

I wish they offered classes like this in my area...I would love it!!

[@beckybanta126]

I made match covers in different sizes years ago. Thank you for kicking the rust off of this technic. Yours are definitely easier & more handsome for sure. 👍 No surprise at all. I continue to appreciate how you teach us; looking forward to each of your videos! 🥰

[@elsieb3176]

In the past I've made some tiny matchbooks to use as little note pads for my pocketbook, but you've inspired me to make larger ones for greeting cards. I don't make journals, but so many of your creations are perfect for cards. Thanks!

[@StudioTinidril]

So. Many. Ideas. You always have a million and one ideas, and they're great ones! I love the matchbook format for making small collections of scraps, but these larger sizes are way cool! Now I need to make some "journal companions", too! 🐱(my journals need pets!)

[@cheryltallafuss1886]

I love to add matchbooks to every journal. These are a definite new addition especially when I don’t have a lot of writing space. Thank you so very much Natasha 🎀

[@EstherLTurner]

I love, love, love when you come up with ideas that don't take long. ( I love the other ones, too.) Sometimes I only have a short window in which to craft, but want a complete project when I'm done and this fits the bill beautifully.

[@trinafry1052]

Super good idea! I've made some mini matchbooks but love the idea of a notebook size one. File folders usually have extra fold lines in the middle you could use for a spine to make a thicker one.

[@tanyaprobstfield6289]

I sure wish I saw this video before I tackled a very large 11” tall by 9” wide artist journal matchbook style, I really struggled with the bottom flap but ended up using hidden magnets and it actually turned out great. My son in law loves it.

[@margarettallett762]

When do I not enjoy your amazing videos? Never!! I have a big box of file folders. This is brilliant. Ideas galore. Stash of beautiful supplies galore. Time, well... shortage is an issue 🤪🥴 The struggle is real! Thanks for sharing your constant stream of ingenuity Natasha.

[@EarthBeing3]

You’re such a joy to watch and learn from ~ Thank You for sharing your expertise to a wannabe crafter like myself 💛

[@vickievegas1837]

I’m leading crafts next month at church and I’m using this idea to make scrapbooks. I have all the goodies to go inside. I’m going to teach them how to make a side pocket out of jumbo sized playing cards too. I’m so excited! Thank you for the idea!

[@heathersullivan8494]

What a beautiful addition to a journal. If you made really little ones, it would be a great way to use up a lot of scraps. Thank you my dear. Have a lovely week.

[@nettejakobs2501]

Love this idea. And love your crackled red book cover too, so grungry Valentine-ish. Hugs from Denmark

[@kimberleyclayton6875]

Pop a magnet strip on the back to hang on the frig for a grocery list!

[@barbaragrove3651]

Such a cute idea! So many different ways you could go with this...Thanks for another fun idea! And, by the way...I love when you "go rogue " like you did for the smaller one...I find it very inspiring to see your creative mind in action! Have a great day Natasa. Hugs!

[@opus3164]

Thank you so much for all you do!! I LOVE watching your videos you have inspired me to make journals and craft for the first time in my life! You are funny too😆 Thanks for being you💝

[@anamarietomlinson3633]

Always excited every Saturday (USA)time because i know i can watch you again with your so creative handmade for journals…thank you Natasa for your super inspirational ideas

[@Linda211]

These file folder matchbook journals are so lovely, Natasa!😍Thanks for inspiring us! ♥

[@marlenegura1161]

YOU DID IT AGAIN..... BRILLIANT!!!!!! 💖💖💖

[@Lunareon]

Lovely little journals! The customization possibilities are endless. As always, thank you for the tutorial and for the inspiration.

[@skullingtonfly]

I think they’d make a perfect gift. I love that you use the op shop for finds. You can get so much cool stuff there that can be upcycled. Nice video once again 👏👏👏

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Natasa, thank you so much for sharing how to create these oversized matchbook journals, they are fabulous.

[@peggyboynton7726]

This project was very gratifying to complete. Since I'm in education, I have lots of old file folders about and this is a creative solution to turn them into something beautiful! I made three of them today. :)

[@sherrytyson4321]

I can't stop making these! They are so cute!

[@wendywilson1736]

Ahhh, an idea to straighten up the pile of cut offs from cutting squares for the envelope punch board. I keep them in a bin, but hate the cluttered look they present. I have junkmail envelopes galore, brads, scrap strips of cardstock, and other stuff to decorate our grocery list paper pads. I could get totally carried away with this little project. ☺️ Thank you!!

[@sheilacrace7839]

I how I love your tutorial. Don’t have to be perfect❤ And I love where you show mistakes that we can learn from

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you 😊

[@darvadeemac3515]

Love ❤️ this one too! Very nice Natasha. Have a great weekend. Hugs 🤗 Dee USA 🇺🇸

[@carold.9626]

As ALWAYS THANX A MILLION FOR ALL WONDERFUL NEW IDEAS !!🎉❤

[@maineiacts]

Happy Greetings, Natasa!!!!! Oh My Stars!! You've Outdone Yourself, AGAIN!!!! honestly, its mind boggling how you have such an uncanny plethora of magically creative GOODIES to come up with every week!!! I'm really in love with this one! I've made smaller one or two. Way more complicated than they needed to be and I didn't really like them as much. Now that I screen what you have done I went in and started the process of making a couple prototypes!! Its taken me a while to acquire needed supplies over the years. Mostly on the cheap and hoarding, not knowing what the neck to do with it all lol!! THEN???,,,, I FOUND 💗YOU💗😇🙏 💚GOD BLESS YOUR KIND AND CREATIVE SOUL!!! MUCH RESPECT, Mindi in Iowa🌽🌳U.S.

[@lynnlogan7662]

Your tutorials are so clear and concise. You make it easy to follow along. And you always have awesome ideas! Thank you for sharing your creativity 💝

[@sandrasimard1808]

You have come so far its unbelievable, i have been watching you since the begining of your journey i am never disappointed .❤❤

[@elainedudar1952]

Once again you have come up with a fabulous idea. Your mind works on overtime I think. Love love what you create. Always waiting to see what comes next.

[@sonyamartin6217]

I’ve ordered a few more supplies today based on these projects that I love 💕 yeah Natasha!!!

[@cindyreseck4429]

Could not love these more!! Such a great project..can't wait to make some. You have the most creative ideas!! Thanks for more inspiration. You're the best..

[@donnacheney5509]

Another brilliant and beautiful project...a great way to use up my old file folders.

[@brendaclark2703]

Hi Natasha, love these large match books! They are awesome , thanks for sharing your process have a wonderful rest of your weekend ❤️🤗🙏

[@londongael414]

I hit the like button before watching, which I rarely do for anyone - and I was not wrong! Something about the large size makes these very attractive. It's just as quick to make a large thing as a small thing, so why not? These would be great for a specific purpose, eg notes from a one-day training course or workshop. The unfussy closure makes it perfect for out and about. Just stick a large pocket on the back for handouts, and with that simple but beautiful cover idea, you'd be the envy of your colleagues! I see what you mean about the tabbed dividers, but maybe waterfall pages would work? As usual, you've set the ideas going! 💗💗💗

[@rachellee.9389]

I thought I was the only one who did that for Natasa's vids. Glad to know I'm not the only one who knows they will LOVE her ideas.

[@TubeYouLena]

So cute! So satisfying -- 15 min & you have an eye candy & something useful. But hey, at 5:00 I, was surprised when you said the back with the brads being visible does not bother you… For me it is a natural opportunity to decorate & permanently secure. The only time I would not bother is when I want the brads to be temporary décor in a storage book (removable to be used in other projects). I will make a lot of those with my scraps for just taking quick notes during meetings. My personal enigma: store-bough notebooks do not entice me to take notes, I tend to keep them for something important and end up no not use them at all 😊.

[@livingonview]

The file card matchbooks with the ephemera pieces would be cool to pair with a journal you’re giving away or selling, so they could add their own personal touches during journaling.

[@janetstubbington583]

Love this idea! I've made two large ones and a small one and see many more in my future. Thanks, Natasha.

[@bevtieken4113]

I get so much joy making things for my journals, you inspire me over and over....thank you! I love that you don't use didgi (sorry if the spelling is wrong) kits, you do everything from scratch and you use just about anything you can get your hands on...love it! love it! love it!

[@movednorthhomestead7244]

Love love LOVE 💗 this idea!! Thank you for showing us!!

[@pamminevins8097]

Love this. I’m watching your video with my little grand daughter. She wants to makes some. ❤

[@dellamurphy9169]

I think you are inspirational with your creative process! Thanks for all the ideas!

[@missyb.623]

Thanks for the reminder! I like to make matchbook notebooks for my kid's club at church. I think I will do this for Easter. I haven't done them in a bit. Also, I make them with a consumable option. I use an edge punch that makes the anchored side of the pages perforated, then they can be torn out. The kids love that.

[@dakielty]

Love these matchbooks. I do like yours better than the file folder, but i think the file folder idea would be great for sending items in happy mail

[@louisakemp]

Truly inspiring. Hugs and kisses.... From South-Africa 🌸

[@theicekat]

Love the idea of making these big, thank you! So many theme ideas now.

[@rachellee.9389]

I'll bet those tabbed matchbook covers could be used to store off-cuts and other unused ephemera in each journal for the recipient. No scraps for you that way! Great idea, as usual, Natasa.

[@robinsnest7627]

I may give this one a try. I think it’s awesome you have an idea and you share it as you go. Thank you for sharing your time and talent. Have a great day.

[@selinastephens5265]

You are a never ending source of inspiration, thank you

Your videos are wonderful! Fun to watch and listen to…and your projects are attractive and simple, just perfect!

[@SilverSithWitch]

I've made these before, smaller like 2"x3" but never thought to make them bigger. Brilliant! I'm off to the craft desk! 🫶👋

[@craftnm7225]

I love matchbooks! Love the ones you did and the options you showed!

[@hnttakata713]

Beautiful. I volunteer making crafts with kids and these are really fun

[@hazeljanehopkins5652]

A really lovely idea for extra journaling space - the decoration is spot on too!

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

I think I would re-fold the top to make it a tad bit longer front.. that would work for me…. We shall see.. I can hardly wait to try this. Thank you so much for sharing!! I love things you don’t have to measure.

[@btracey]

Simple and cute…my kind of craft 😊 Thank You! I ❤ your channel.

[@TeresaV]
