Oh, Cori! I am often in awe of what you create. I love the way your mind works, and I can see how blessed your students are to have a teacher like you. I would have been so inspired to be your student. As it is, I am older than you, you truly inspire me. One of my projects coming up shortly is to create idea books for the series that you took the time to make for us. Thank you so much for sharing this fascinating beautiful book giving us enjoyment and heads full of ideas! While you used postage stamps, I am doing my book with a winter theme. For me, January is very much wintertime since it is only the second month into winter. However, where your book is now finished, I am still playing catch up! Blessings to you, Cori! You are such an inspiration to me. :-)

Dear Cori. I watch you regularly and enjoy seeing you come up with so many fun ways to work with paper. I have always loved stamps but when I went looking for ideas on how to use stamps in junk journals, I didn't come across too much. I have so many stamps I had to be creative to figure out how to use them up. I edge some pages with stamps going all down the edge. I use them on envelopes I make. I use them in all sorts of collages, clusters, and paperclip clusters as you have done. I even take graph paper and glue down all sorts of stamps in a theme ( like castles), then fold the paper in half and leave the other side blank for writing. I even use laminating sheets from the dollar store and laminate stamps and make stuff with the laminated stamps. Those sheets don't require a laminating machine so it's inexpensive and does not require a machine. People are fascinated by all the cool stamps I find and add to my journals. Thank you for the creative ideas you shared with us and now I have even more ways to use my stamps.

Great ideas for using postage stamps! I make PS clusters all the time, they are so handy for embellishing a journal or gift tag. I also use postage stamps for greeting cards, usually themed by color with other old pieces of paper. The one staple collage is a great way to make all kinds of embellishments, just a fun challenge for yourself to use up scraps. I am going to have to make a master board with all my very colorful, newer stamps - those are the ones that never seem to get used in my artwork. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Cori, I saw your master board of stamps in another video and I made a small one myself. That very day I went to an estate sale and bought a new stamp holding book and a BUNCH of stamps. It took most of the day to set-up the album with pages sections for continents and then countries. With stamps from 40-50 countries and many "head" stamps, I made a small master board and cut it into pockets. The collaging was fun, but now you've given me so many ideas for so many stamps I now have! Thank you for inspiring me! P.s. My next project is using the beautiful animal stamps.

Your creativity never ceases to amaze me Cori! I really enjoyed every page and every explanation and story behind them. Gorgeous family photos too. I love the look of page 18/19. I'm off to dig out my postage stamps. Much love. xx

Thank you Sue, and I hope you are continuing to improve. I love the spine of 18/19 and will absolutely do that again... though perhaps in a regular journal. Happy postage stamp creating to you!

Cori, what’s wonderful journal! Your video is perfect timing! My husband recently brought me an entire bin of postage stamps from the flea market. Now, thanks to your video, I have a multitude of ideas on how to use them! Your talents amaze me!

Very useful to have a variety of ideas all based on one theme - this type of tutorial is good for ideas when making a journal as a gift for someone specific - as we could swap stamps for pics from magazines (eg for sewing or gardening etc) to make the base collage too. Thanks a lot.

I bought a postage stamp book from a yard sale years ago and it has stamps from the 1800’s and countries that have been renamed- want to make a junk journal out of it thanks for the ideas

That is going to be so cool with the vintage stamps!
