Clear, concise, focused, down to business, no inappropriate giggling, no talking about boring family and life, No music. It’s wonderful! thank you very much.

[@annefletcher597]

Hi may I ask what brand if printer paper you use please? Is it a thin paper or a light card? Cheers Anne❤

[@ShanoukiArt]

❤

[@ShanoukiArt]

@@annefletcher597 Hi, I use regualar copy paper, 80gsm ❤

[@BiancaMH]

No inappropriate giggling LOL!!!!!

[@EricaFieldsfrogs4ever]

Thank you very much. For once I wasn’t overwhelmed by the instructions and I feel like a junk journal is achievable for me. I love your voice and pace of the video. It’s so awesome that I don’t have to haunt charity shops for old books to make the cover. I’m looking forward to the next steps. I can’t thank you enough.

[@ShanoukiArt]

Thank you so much, so happy you found my tutorial easy to follow and helpful 💝

[@dianejohnson7212]

This is a great tutorial; thank you

[@sallyallen2543]

OMG where have you been hiding? I have only watched a small piece of your tutorial and am blown away by how informative it is!! Can't wait to start my first journal. Thank you!

[@ShanoukiArt]

🤗💖

[@debhouckscraftycottage9288]

This is one of the Best junk journal tutorials I have found on KZbin! Thank You! I know I'm watching this 10 months later, but just getting in to junk journaling and loved this tutorial! Thank You!

[@ShanoukiArt]

🧡❤️

[@tattoochik72]

I followed along with this series as I made my second ever journal. The first was a no-sew, and really was just for learning the basics. The attempt I've made with this series is a whole different universe. Your videos are wonderfully thorough, your insights so very helpful. I wish I had a more organic style like you do. I'm one of those (anal) linear folks who struggles with arting outside the lines, but you definitely inspire me to stretch! I 100% agree with the previous comments referring to your lovely voice and - to me - accent, and the pace. I appreciate that you include your creative processes and oops moments, and watching you overcome those little mistakes and make them part of the project. Thank you!

[@ShanoukiArt]

Thank you for your beautiful comment, I am so happy you enjoy my videos 🤗🩷🧡

[@janetmckenney8376]

I've been making journals for years, but I found your very clear instructions helpful, giving me insight as to how to improve my own process. There were no excess words to confuse the instruction, no music to cause distraction - only clear and concise instruction. Thank you . I look forward to watching the rest of the process!

[@ShanoukiArt]

Thank you so much 🤗💖 glad you found it helpful 🦋

[@janieharner5136]

My favorite video for putting together a journal cover thus far. THANK YOU ❤️

[@ShanoukiArt]

Wow, thank you!🤗💖

[@jeaninehogshead4710]

I just found this KZbin art style. Never heard of junk journals until last week. I feel like I’ve discovered my next level I needed to be inspired. Thank you so much for your teaching

[@ShanoukiArt]

🤗💖

[@SunflowersAndDors]

Loved how simple you made the process and the piece about using the cut off triangles for the corners of your cover before you glue the insde sections was genius TFS 🥰🥰🥰

[@nancyclark1936]

This is exactly what I needed! I now can start my first journal! Thank you for a great video!

[@ShanoukiArt]

Happy creating 🩷

[@annemillion1501]

How awesome to have a sister with similar interests! Your idea of using the same paper to reinforce the corners is genius. I've been making journals and watching journal videos for about 7 years and to the best of my memory, no one else has done this. I can't tell you how many times I have had to resort to book corners to clean up my mistakes.

[@ShanoukiArt]

It is awesome, I am very blessed. Glad you like my little trick, I hated when the underside sometimes peeped through so had to find a solution 💖

[@judyrobertson9479]

Very well done. I haven't made anything yet but I've bought a lot. This is the first video that is explained so clearly. Thank you

[@cathyconnell5821]

Oh my how lovely!!!! I haven’t touched my journal craft for a long time. Your journal calls me to journal making♥️♥️♥️

[@ShanoukiArt]

Happy creating 💖☺️

[@thebrowndragonfly]

Been making journals for 3 years but still am always inspired by different methods. Very much enjoyed this video. Joan

[@helengibson8196]

I love this series. I can't wait to watch the others. Thank you 🌷

[@maxinemann2490]

I have LOTS of supplies for this project as I am a card maker. I just love the colors of this journal!

[@SilverSithWitch]

I love that kit, just purchased! Also, check your advanced printer settings, some printers print without borders if the image is big enough.

[@ShanoukiArt]

Mine doesn’t have unfortunately but thank you I will mention that in my next video for other people 💝

[@fernandatavares6775]

Thank you, Shana!...For the artist that you are...my favorite. :) Your information is not incorrect!... Shana must have a printer configured for the "adjustment" menu - Adjust Photo. My printer is an HP Smart Tank Plus 555, inkjet, very normal! Prints without white border and with white border. If you print in "Adjustment"-Fill page, you get an A4 size print. If you print in "Adjust"-Adjust photo, you get an 8"x11" print, as the authors advise. I only use the A4 size, when it's printable, with a single color background, for best use. In my experience, I used A4 printing for the images and I didn't like it. They are huge, unmeasured.

[@amyt6254]

This video is a fabulous!! I can’t wait to see the others! Thank you!

[@mandala314]

Thank you!! I've been painting/drawing my own papers but was stuck on how to get started. This helps so much!

[@225128triwing]

Thanks for sharing and I wanted to add a tip of my own - to get the crinkle we all love in our journals I spray my papers with my coffee or tea solution and then microwave them! Microwaves are different I know but I can dry 5 thin sheets in approximately 77 seconds. If I’m drying card stock I usually dry them for about 88-100 seconds. Just a quick way I’ve found works w/out using my regular oven.

[@ShanoukiArt]

🤗💖

[@Kayenne54]

I use my food dryer. It has rectangular shelves (not one of those round food dryers); I can set it to lowest temp, for about an hour, and dry about 24 tea dyed photocopy papers in a bit less time than that; also no worries about possible fire issues either.

[@freddieivory625]

Lovely!!! Thank you for sharing! Very inspiring!! Look forward to the additional steps. ❤

[@chaosinthecraftroom]

This is so much easier than some others that I have seen. Thank you so much for sharing your process. I am looking foward to seeing the next steps 😊

[@staceyflores4420]

Beautiful, as always!!! 🥰

[@rhondamarshall7039]

Lovely, great clear instructions. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to more.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Fantastic! I will definitely be checking out your sister's kits ❤. Beautiful

[@juliao1255]

This was so very helpful. Thank you. I look forward to the next one.

[@CheleinSF]

Thanks for this great video and the digital link. Your instructions are always so clear and concise.

[@cjsimplyscraps]

Thanks so much!! This is a fantastic step by step tutorial and so easy to follow

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Sharna, I really really enjoyed watching you creating this gorgeous and stunning journal. I really really love ❤️ it. And the paper’s are stunning too. I’m looking forward to watching the next part. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤

[@Cookingfromzer0]

We love those that do not gatekeep! Thank you!

[@ShanoukiArt]

[@ellendematos1363]

This is a wonderful and easily understandable tutorial to follow. Could you please explain measurements for making the holes to sew in the signatures? Thank you

[@virtuallycolleen]

I love this! And love the absence of music. So very relaxing to watch!

[@lisaritter6136]

Excellent tutorial. I've been making journals for a while, and have seen many, many videos. I love the actual, detailed instruction provided and am looking forward to the next segment. Thank you!

[@maryjager1757]

You mentioned that you have a laser printer. Does this help the digital kit images to not bleed when you get them wet in coffee? In my experience, with my ink jet printer, when I coffee dye them after I’ve printed, the images fade and bleed. Therefore I print digital kits on on already-dried coffee stained paper that I iron and then run through the printer. You are one of the best instructors ever❤

[@ShanoukiArt]

Hi, yes with a laser printer the ink does not bleed 🤗💖

[@cindysackett4942]

Lovely and so easy to learn from this tutorial. Thank you. 🌻

[@susanrhoades6609]

New to journaling this was so helpful looking forward to the oncoming videos. Thank you.

[@MyPoplappie]

Thank you so much for the inspiration I get from your videos.

[@Jalleur14325]

So useful. That must have taken ages!! Love the cereal box idea. I have quite a few gel prints that I could make into a journal methinks!

[@ShanoukiArt]

💚🤍

[@margarethabotes2839]

Gorgeous!!!

[@joannepeyton1654]

Hi Shana: Great tutorial! You covered everything a person would need to know when starting a junk journal. Your sister’s papers are really beautiful and look so nice in your journal. Thank you for sharing. 💜😎🇺🇸

[@gwenloveless]

I love your sisters ETSY shop! I have several of her kits! What a awesome creative family y’all have!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

This is the video that made me realize I loved the edges on notebook papers, and also ok to use torn paper. 💜

[@ShanoukiArt]

❤

[@tonyashatley5040]

Great tutorial, thank you. Love the tips on tearing your paper then coffee dye! Also using the cut triangles on the corners for coverage! Wow. Your journal is beautiful so far!

[@ShanoukiArt]

🤗💖

[@alisonirish6730]

Thankyou most helpful I especially liked your tip of the corners and will bear that in mind for my next journal

[@lorimontgomery3527]

Thank you, Shana! This process video is incredibly helpful!! I’ve been overwhelmed, but I feel like I can do this now! ❤️

[@ShanoukiArt]

🤗💖

[@AnnaiStockholm-tz8xe]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just used your methods (more or less at least) to do a photo album/art journal-thingy as a surprise for my daughter. The cover is an old pizzabox and I have sewn in three signatures using watercolour paper, and I really hate sewing. I feel very proud of myself, so thank you for that!

[@ShanoukiArt]

Well done, sounds amazing 🤩 so happy you found my tutorial helpful 🤍

[@WoolyKnitter]

6:41 a.m My love for papercrafting, mixed media, junk journaling has expanded so much from watching all your videos. I in turn now taught an 11 year old the playing cards. She fell in love with them after seeing mine, now she's hooked and so are her besties. I grew to love them while my husband has been medically down. It gave me something creative to do while he gets well. Thank you for sharing your talents so i can share mine. 😊
