Journals For No Reason-Collective Flip Through

[@leannoxley6901]

I'm glad other people enjoy the sound of crinkley paper. Now I know I'm not the only weirdo.

[@ShannonGreen]

+Leann Oxley You're surrounded by weirdos!

[@Elsa75054]

Nope, not the only one. Me too.😁

[@lidimaparis4799]

What beautiful gems Bertha holds. What a journal collection. So inspiring.

[@ShannonGreen]

+Lidima Paris There is something very inspiring about her eclectic pages that make no sense. You see something different every time you flip through.

[@LittleRavenInk]

I think paper crinkling should be a thing on meditations CDs for paper lovers lol! Your journals look amazing!

[@ShannonGreen]

+TheLittleInk Definitely!

[@urbanburglary]

It already exists! Look up ASMR paper sounds on KZbin

[@ronjasolvalravn9740]

I just get so happy when l see your no reason art.

[@ShannonGreen]

I'm so glad you enjoy it!

[@MirrorsandMatches]

Love journals made with real junk! Love this style of making journals! I love using real junk to make my journals as well.

[@ShannonGreen]

There's just something fascinating about arting with supplies that aren't for art!

[@jolienhellebuyck9840]

i love to hear that i'm not the only one who gets bored working in the same book and switches all the time!!! jippie!!!

[@ShannonGreen]

High five sista!

[@floragallegos9036]

I love your journals Shannon. Watching your channel gives me so much inspiration. When I'm working on my journals, I'll go on your channel, and watch one of your videos, it doesn't matter which one. When I'm hearing you talking, I feel like I am journaling with my friend, and that's what I consider you, "a friend". I've been watching your channel for quite a few years now, so I think it's safe to call you a friend.

[@ShannonGreen]

We absolutely are friends!! That's why I make my videos in a very casual and chatty style...cuz when I'm filming I feel like I'm just sitting at my kitchen table talking to my friends. :)

[@lonaadachilikedonna2156]

I love all of these journals for no reason. The last two are to die for. TFS.

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks Lona!

[@FatemasArtShow]

I Love this idea of Journals for no reason. Allows you to be completely free. Love it!

[@JeanBenefield]

Shannon, I have been watching your videos since I discovered Junk Journals and Mixed Media. I just watched this video. Thank you!!! I love the idea of making a Journal for NO Reason!!! Using them to learn how your materials work.....practice doodling and getting your creative juices flowing. I just love watching you. You ALWAYS make me happy!!!!

[@ShannonGreen]

It makes me happy that it makes you happy Jean!!

[@clnason]

Thank you Shannon for making my treadmill time this morning so enjoyable!!!! I loooovvveeed this video with all the paint, magazines, crinkle and journals. Made my Monday morning happy, happy, happy!! Can't wait to get into my craft room!! Have a great day!!! Keep on doing what you do!! 📚🖍💃🏻😎

[@ShannonGreen]

+clnason Thanks so much for watching!

[@LIZALOPEZ1965]

I love to create journals for no reason, it's just a relaxing experience.

[@ShannonGreen]

I agree!

[@coffeequeen3291]

Lol! She send her love! Too cute! This video was eye and ear candy!

[@ShannonGreen]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@nancywidener2157]

[@ShannonGreen]

+Nancy Widener Thanks for watching, Nancy!

[@nasushll]

The one you are showing now is fantastic. You know.... The journal for no reason.

[@ShannonGreen]

The best reason is no reason :)

[@CindyUtter]

So cool! I could sleep to the crinkles, so soothing!

[@ShannonGreen]

I'm with ya on that!~

[@beanbeanster7219]

"A beautiful mess." I love it! 🙂💎

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks for watching!

[@larianefonseca5406]

You and your art are simply the best !! Thank you for sharing

[@ShannonGreen]

Thank you for watching!

[@thepaperatelier.]

I just found this video and it made me happy to hear your concept of just do what you love and make it just to make it. One of the reasons I do not make journals is because I always say to my self "but what am I gonna use it for?" It never occurred to me that it's my artwork and it's for me not for anyone else. Thank you I feel like I can actually play with my papers and magazine clippings now simply to enjoy them. I love paper and color.... thank you! you made my day!

[@ShannonGreen]

Oh that makes me so happy to hear!!

[@blancagarcia6139]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, your work!!!! You are so talented!!!!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thank you!

[@shirleyjoan403]

Watching this helps me be OK with the many Journals For No Reason that I have. It makes it OK that I make a journal out of anything and just collage and paint as I please. I find it very relaxing. Thank you for giving me permission to make these. I don't even expect to have it make me more creative or whatever. I am just enjoying myself.

[@ShannonGreen]

High five Shirley! There are so few things in life we can do just for the joy of it so squeeze all you can out of this!!!

[@dreacero9116]

I like your take on your journals for no reason ... art is what we make of it and rules be darned. The rustling of the page texture is so calming! This concept is daunting but only because I've spent too much time in the left side of my brain. Thank you for sharing!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thanks for watching!

[@elizabethnaisbitt1795]

I am in total awe of all your 'For No Reason' Journals, love them, esp. Big Bertha. Tfs x

[@ShannonGreen]

+Elizabeth Naisbitt Thanks Elizabeth!

[@PamNewkirk]

Wowzers!!! You are amazing! I love all these books!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thank you Pam!

[@BarbaraRademacher]

You are terrific! I have a journal of backgrounds composed of over 50 pages created in various ways. It really is a Journal for no Reason. Thankyou. I feel set free.

[@kich6172]

The drop paper journal is amazing!

[@ShannonGreen]

Thank you!

[@ErinDeCoste]

I absolutely LOVE the idea of taking a mail circular catalogue and turning it into a no reason Journal! Brilliant! Thank you for sharing!!

[@ShannonGreen]

[@jodihepler6202]

Thank you for this video. I've been wanting to do a glue book or collaging and I have been cutting out plenty of images from magazines. I just haven't figured out how to start. This tells me it doesn't matter how I start. Just do something and play with it. I can always do the next one different.

[@ShannonGreen]

YES!! Just glue those images down and enjoy the process.

[@terridaly1895]

Yay Big Bertha! She's FAB! I've got to make my own someday.

[@ShannonGreen]

+Terri Daly You must, she's fun to work in and to flip through later.

[@crissypoohable]

Omg. I love these

[@nancyorourke7679]

I really love your videos. The way you embrace the imperfect...it inspires me..It makes me less worried about things looking perfect. or having an end goal in mind...just do it...just create, who cares why. Thank you so much. I just really enjoy your approach and your videos..AND the sound of crinkly paper also makes me happy too!! :)

[@ShannonGreen]

I LOVE to that!! Uh...I was talking about the letting go of expectations but it also applies to the crinkly paper sound :)

[@stampingchaylina]

Great collection of journals for no reason. Like you I sometimes create journals and they look like nothing more than a series of backgrounds or starting point for something else but I can't bear to touch them as I like them as they are. Love Big Bertha and totally love the sound of crinkling paper :)

[@ShannonGreen]

[@ladylibrum7145]

Wow, these are AWESOME !!! That composition book with the dyed pages.. words fail me 🤤😍 💓 Thank you for the inspiration, I love to make creative journals but I always feel they have to be "useful", you are an amazing gifted artist!!!

[@ShannonGreen]

Useful handmade items are great but if I had to have a use for everything I made, I would rarely make stuff and that would be a sad thing!

[@ScrappinlizziArt]

Shannon my new best friend.. I listened to your video while making another album.. At first I said.. what would someone want with making a journal for no reason,,, but I listened to you anyway. By the time I finished what I was doing I was raring to go with my first Journal for no reason! So far I think it is awesome as ever! This was the most relaxing and effort free thing I have done in ages! I made a flip through of my journal that I am going to put on my facebook page now. If you wanna be my friend. You will see it on my timeline! Thank you for your inspiration!

[@gionun8950]

Love Big Bertha. She is magnificent! I am trying to let go of rationale & just create something without reason or function. It is not easy. But...it is something worth working on. Tfs. xx

[@ShannonGreen]

It's not easy but it's a worthwhile challenge!
