The First Junk Journal I Ever Made

Enjoy this flip through of the very first junk journal I ever made. It is a Little Golden Book: The Little Red Hen. It has been very therapeutic for me.

[@erinncerin9619]

Your first journal was lovely and I agree crafting is definitely good therapy 😊

[@AmiRuth_Treasures]

Yes indeed! Thank you for watching!

[@bettylongshore9594]

AmiRuth, you have a very sweet journal! Thank you for sharing it with us!!!!!! You have some very special techniques in it! I hope you keep working on your journals!!!!!!

[@AmiRuth_Treasures]

Thank you and I will keep working on my journals. Each one is its own treasure trove of creativity. 💖

Feel free to sing! I will listen! I loved seeing your first journal. You did a great job!! Love the sun and moon pages, very clever! Love the little jar with the "Not I's" in it!! I think your "Little Red Hen" journal is very creative!! A very creative outlet. As they say, "Crafting is cheaper than therapy." So true!! The flip you mentioned is called a "Rita flip." I went back and watched someone who mentioned them in her journals all the time, and that is what she called them.

[@AmiRuth_Treasures]

Thanks for the info! I’m mustering up some courage to sing. I have a low voice. Hopefully soothing to anyone who will listen. Thank you for your sweet comment. 💖 And I agree crafting is cheaper than therapy. Or at least I get to spend money on crafting supplies instead! LOL

That is super cute! Mistakes and all! There are no such things as mistakes in junk journaling. 😊

[@lindamckibben1763]

I think your journal is amazing and I loved hearing your story of how therapeutic the making of it was. You did an amazing job!

[@AmiRuth_Treasures]

Thanks! Yes, it was therapeutic. This craft has been helpful in so many ways. 😊

[@KnowHimKnowPeace8]

To say that this was your first journal it is pretty good🙂💜.

[@AmiRuth_Treasures]

Thank you. It’s unique in its own way. The time spent on it was such a good learning experience.

[@KnowHimKnowPeace8]

@@AmiRuth_Treasures I laughed every time I look at my first journal. For whatever reason I could not figure out how to bind it together. I used a cereal box as my cover. Now that I am a ‘little’ more experienced with binding I am thinking of redoing the spine. Anyway, I am glad to have come across your channel. I look forward to watching more of your videos🙂💜.

[@AmiRuth_Treasures]

@@KnowHimKnowPeace8 Yay!

[@AmiRuth_Treasures]

Thank you. Yes, that is so true. 😊

[@faith7820]

Awesome! My first junk journal I made for a friend who was having a baby. I was proud of how it came out. Although I no longer have it, I took some pictures of it. I've now made five more, wasn't crazy about the last one I made.

[@AmiRuth_Treasures]

Well that's cool. I have gifted several and I often forget to take pictures.

[@XenobiaF]

You’ve encouraged me to get out a copy or two of Little Red Riding Hood to make a junk journal. Thank you.

[@AmiRuth_Treasures]

I’m so happy to be an inspiration! Thanks for watching and subscribing. 😊

I got really inspired by your journal. I have an old childrens book from my childhood. It was one of my first and favourite stories. I am going to make a journal out of it! Thank you for the inspiration ❤

[@AmiRuth_Treasures]

The books from our childhood are the best! They bring memories of simpler times. You will enjoy working on it! I’m happy to be an inspiration! 🥰

[@teresatravis2205]

You did a great job

[@AmiRuth_Treasures]

Thank you so much! 💕

[@BookwormsBuddy]

Hi Ami, you showed up in my feed, so I thought I would stop by and see you! You have a new subbie! I love finding other journal makers in this beautiful community. I think this is an a pretty awesome first journal. I love the LGB covers. They add so much to a journal. I have one started, but never went any further. It is fun to go back over the journals we have made in the past, isn't it? My very first journal is probably the only actual 'junk' journal I have made. I did end up rebinding mine because it was falling apart because all I used was a piece of scrapbook card stock as the cover. LOL I did not want to lose any of the stuff in it because it all came out of my memory box. I called it my book mark journal. Everything inside of it stayed the same though. I love themes as well. It really helps me get a journal together. To fix the lose threads, you would have to snip your threads and just rebind it. I really enjoyed the video, and I look forward to see more of your videos. Have a blessed day!

[@AmiRuth_Treasures]

Nice to meet you! I’m so happy to have other crafters tuning in. I love getting ideas from my fellow journal creators! Thank you! 😃

[@BookwormsBuddy]

@@AmiRuth_TreasuresOh same for sure Ami, I love learning new techniques.

[@scraptastictreasures]

This was your first journal? It’s awesome! I want to get this good someday! New subscriber! ❤

[@AmiRuth_Treasures]

Yes it was! But like I said it took me many hours, really months to put it together. I was in no hurry and it was so crucial at that time of my life to have something to pour myself into. So although this one is filled with creativity, I’m spending less time on each journal now so that I can make more. But I always try to find details that will make them unique. Thanks for watching and subscribing! 🥰

Fantastic Journal 💖💖
