Things to Make In front of the TV - Journal Lap Crafting

[@katmarj2937]

I would love to see more videos on lap crafting! Both for myself while watching TV, and for occasions when I get together with my sisters to do crafting. Were usually sitting around somebody’s living room and it’s hard to find something contained and easy to do in a small space. These videos would be very helpful.

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Excellent thanks ❤

[@dixiehart7275]

Yes more like this. I do watch lots of the others in this community we all love and learn tons from each! Its like knowing which friend to call for.........I love you for your sweet calm well explained videos, maybe because I tend to forget to breath sometimes!! Thanks Wendy

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Thanks so much Dixie what a wonderful compliment ❤

[@penelopemarshall6320]

Lap crafting is a great topic to cover, a good way to have a stock supply ready and waiting in your stash. Happy to watch more of these ideas.😘💕

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Thanks sweetie ❤

[@christinehowell]

I always find it interesting to see how other crafters work and how they store and organise ephemera, especially where they make the storage themselves as this gives a useful insight into the way they work

[@marisakopnski5593]

Yes, more! more! more! Please. I think we all love new ideas. And the more! more! more! the better! better! better!!! Thank you so much Wendy.

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Awww thanks Marissa ❤

[@maggiequilts]

This was fun Wendy! A series would be great 👍 Hugs. Maggie ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️

[@sheilastiles01]

I usually keep a clear folder of pages to fussy cut next to my chair in the living room. Perfect time to cut when watching tv!

[@2281CozyBrickCape]

Yes, I’m always looking for ways to work while watching TV! Thank you, Wendy

[@sandrabeckerman4448]

I started fussy cutting out stamped leaves while watching the winter Olympics back in the 80's. I still fussy cut in front of the TV.

[@jessicawyman-brown3207]

I always appreciate how you let us know the creator of the digitals you use. Thank you so much for always doing that. It’s so helpful. I also cut labels and florals while watching tv.

[@cathyfahie1641]

I’m enjoying the lap crafting and would like to see a series! Great idea.

[@CarolMartineArt]

Opening new worlds, Wendy. Thanks bunches, Carol

[@craftysenora1840]

This could definitely be a series. I enjoyed it Wendy!

[@mitzieat307junkjournals4]

If only I watched TV 😊. These are quite brilliant ideas. Thank you for sharing. 💕🥰💕

[@elainepereira7483]

This was fun, useful, and inspirational!! So much healthier to cut and create rather than snack while watching TV! I am someone who over thinks all my journal making so I am fascinated and inspired to see other crafters just go for it. I hope you keep going with this series. ❤

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Dang I still snack lol

[@Canadian693]

TFS! I am always doing something while watching t.v. Either fussy cutting, crocheting or sewing. My mother always told me and my sister, that our hands can keep busy, while watching t.v. and I still do this!

[@sallybrannon8268]

Oh Wendy! You had me at a glas of wine☺ I had the wink wink, was hospitalized for one night😣 2 months ago. I still feel a bit not like me but nobody seems to notice 🤔 love you wendy!!!

[@rneustel388]

I’m so glad you’re going to make more videos in this little series! I love how fast these come together.

[@pamelaburke9250]

Gorgeous labels and papers! I love to fussy cut while watching tv. When I was recovering from knee replacement, fussy cutting helped me so much to get my attention OFF the pain!

[@cherylmulloy1469]

I love the ideas of something to do while watching TV with my husband! Keep them coming!

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Will do!! Thanks!

[@Sheree-aka-SherryLynn]

Love these items! I am making journals for a Christmas market and found that working in these types of crafts at “down” times helps the flow. I have been using books pages and scrap pages so that I can just glue or sew them onto finished journal pages. 😊

[@marleneabbot7708]

Great video thanks Wendy. Yes absolutely to a lap crafting series. I often have days where I am needing to rest on my bed so this is a wonderful idea. 😘

[@crochetcrafter5317]

Yes do new series and we’ll join in lap crafting 👍

[@pquack51]

Men are babies!! LOL! I do the same thing on my lap! I have an old cutting board that serves me well. Of course my living room is full of my crafting stuff, but I'm a widow so I don't have to worry about it! TYFS, Wendy.

[@dawnc8755]

Love these ideas. This would also be good in the car or RV on a driving trip! Or for when on vacation when you don't have access to all your typical supplies. I would enjoy a series!

[@debrachamburs5032]

Would love to see more of your seating in front of the TV ideas. Thanks for sharing!

[@tishschneider6252]

I stumbled across this video and watched because of the title. And I'm a new subscriber because of it! Yes, I would love to see more of your lap crafting! There are times my hubby wants me to watch TV with him but I want to craft. Perfect compromise! I now need to get a lap desk! Your clusters are beautiful! Love them!

[@pamobryan5455]

I would LOVE to watch more of your lap crafting videos! Very fun thanks!

[@jamiepollitt6436]

Yes, lap crafting is definitely worth a series! I’m a quilter but have found JJ. I enjoy it because I can do it while spending time with my daughter watching tv. That’s not possible with quilting.

[@Valeri4561]

As soon as I heard a glass of wine.......Oh big thumbs up!! LOL And, I do a lot of my fussy cutting in front of TV too! I also agree with what you are making dictates what you use for that project.

[@eileenammendolea1776]

I loved the video and I would love to see more in this genre. Inspiration can be found everywhere and I just enjoyed how relaxed you were while doing this. I have learned so much from your videos that you so kindly share with us and would be happy to continue to see and learn your techniques. Thanks for caring so much. I hope your husband feels better soon!

[@kykategray]

I had a chuckle when you mentioned your husband. You were kindly restrained in your description, but I totally got it. I enjoyed this video and would appreciate more like this. As I am brand new to junk journaling, I value any and all “advice” (not the best word, but only one I could that came to mind) from those more experienced. Thanks for all of your wonderful videos and inspiration. Hugs from Ky.

[@idavera55]

Thank you for sharing. I do like when you do easy and fun things. Your voice is calm, you never get upset. :)

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Thanks for watching!

[@opalpipkin6285]

Awesome video! The clusters and the tags went together so easily. I love watching you create. TFS

[@marilyndamschen5435]

Another great video, packed full of resource info and ideas. You are one organized lady. I would enjoy more lap craft videos or any mass-making techniques. I struggle to keep from snacking while watching TV and keep a lap desk by my seat to keep hands busy. Thanks for all you do for our benefit!

[@tuthillg]

Funny, I fussy cut in the exact same order and manner! TFS the ideas and inspiration, Wendy!

[@beverlyspell9190]

I would love to see more lap crafting. I really enjoyed this video and found it very helpful. Thank you for sharing! Hugs, Beverly spell

[@luellenarts585]

Yes, a series would be helpful. THANK YOU for the videos, I love learning!

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

You are most welcome ❤

[@whitneykosters9102]

Finding rows is exactly what I do when I fussy cut things with lots of stuff on one page 🤣🤣it seems easier to cut rows then cut them out versus trying to manage the whole page. I also agree that the journals speak to us when we are creating & the ephemera does as well. I use the same ephemera for several journals but may use them differently or cut them out differently. Thanks for sharing your crafting methods 😊

[@Jeannes1234]

Nice ideas for lap crafting Wendy. I usually do fussy cutting when I watch TV.

[@jennyeldred1343]

Yes! More lap journal crafting please!

[@charlean_sherrod]

Yes please do this sort of thing, I love it. Thank you for sharing 😘

[@baby1345zzzz]

Hello, lovely little clusters, it works. Thank you for inspiring me to do these for my other projects. You did 👍 💞🌺

[@nancypridham6556]

Love your tags and tags. I’d love to see a series on “lap”work

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

What an enjoyable way to spend time! Thanks so much for letting us into your life. 💕

[@lindaschillers6405]

this was fun wendy. thanks for sharing with us. i do think that a lap desk series is great idea.

[@siggybenedict-shields3883]

Yes, lap crafting is a great idea.

[@Cabinlady4]

I too would love to see more on lap crafting.

[@letsingermarine8581]

Always love doing something in front of tv, and you have taken it to the next level! Thank you.

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@marysaunders401]

This WAS fun and you make such beautiful things. I LOVE the idea and title of "Lap Crafting". It is what I do mostly. I watch things on YOU TUBE mostly as I craft. One of the reasons I love the journals and small items is that they do not take a lot of space to make or store. THANK YOU for this and I would LOVE to see more lap crafting videos in addition to your other wonderful videos.

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

You are very welcome Mary!

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Cute ideas. I would love to see more of these if you have time. I enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing this 🤗🤗🧡🧡

[@cathymoore1935]

Love this video! Love watching what others do and how they do it! Thanks for showing this!

[@sandyrector3853]

I would love to see more videos of you doing "lap crafting"...so relaxing and enjoyable...what great ideas you have...never miss a video...always look forward to your new videos when you put them out...hope you feel better soon...hugs

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Thanks for your constant support ❤

[@AlteredBookeryCrafting]

Would love to see more videos like this. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@jennharts1]

Love all the info in your videos and would love to see more in a series. Whatever you do is always fun and inspirational!!!!

[@judydudley5442]

A series! Yes! ❤️

[@karenpruis501]

I love those tags and would love to see more lap crafting.

[@phyllisj73]

You made that look so easy 😊 I enjoyed the video. Definitely worth a series. I would watch 💛

[@FayeTouve]

I really like the idea of a series! Your clusters are so pretty -- never thought of just using staples to join them. Seems like it would be much easier and free flowing to do them this way rather than sewing a long strip together! Thank you for the ideas. Hugs.

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

You are most welcome sweetie ❤

[@robinking6574]

I love this video. I always fussy cut in front of the TV. But now I have more ideas. Thank you sharing.

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

You are so welcome!

[@sherryberryblueberry6156]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and would love to see more videos like this.

[@BlaizC]

Yes to more lap crafting! Of course, I'd watch any video that you'd decide to do.

[@wilmaMOW]

Yes, LapCrafting is fun! Love watching it and doing it too Wendy. I turn my TV to the table so do this at table. Fussy cutting etc...the "mindless"stuff. I saw you putting the cluster on upside down and actually shouted at the pc screen. Cats looked up from their basket... "Now she is going bonkers". hahahaha

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

That is awesome!

[@sherryvanderpool8644]

Yes I would like to see more lap crafting

[@gr8fng]

G'day from Australia ... I'm a newbie to your channel & journaling and found this vid super helpful thankyou 👍 Never thought about just having an ephemera creation process & creating chair-side, mini-packs accordingly ie base ephemera like tag Background scraps ... paper &/or fabric, labels etc Focal Point ... clusters, stsmped, fussy or die cut images etc Gives me a whole new way of looking at, planning, & organising my stash Thank you so much for facilitating this💡 moment 😍

[@ginette6896]

Alot of fun and very useful. YES more please! Your tags are so pretty. Merci beaucoup Wendy:) PS..just for fun, I am French Canadian living in the States.🥰

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

So cool! Merci!

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Think these are the most helpful videos. I appreciate you sharing

[@laurajean8857]

lap Crafting is a Really fun idea!Love Watching your ideas and what you come up with.🤗❤❤

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

[@MissJay4258]

Beautiful projects. We are always trying to squeeze in more art.

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Agreed, because it's fun!!

[@charlottecccrochet8831]

Hi Wendy! I am new to your channel, I found you through Rachel, and want to say that your videos are very inspiring! I am a newbie in journaling and have a lot to learn and you are the perfect teacher! Love to see how you craft in front of the TV, I am always crafting too. Have to have something in my hands and I often crochet. Now I am doing clusters and fussycutting (can not have to many 😅). Thank you for sharing your knowledge and ideas! Now I have a lot too do watching more of your content here. Hugs from Charlotte in Sweden ❤️

[@terriwells2919]

That was a fun video, a series would be great

[@cheryldouglas234]

I love this Wendy! I wouldn’t mind seeing more. I love to sit in my recliner and fussy cut but I haven’t tried making clusters and tags. Thank you for the inspiration ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊

[@pattyclevenger1966]

I would love to see lap crafting.... Yes .. more please...

[@kimberlycook5860]

I fussy cut the exact same way, with rows! Great video!

[@lorikorstanje2964]

great ideas I love the idea of you showing more lap crafts

[@nancypyter1511]

It was very nice to see your process Wendy! I think this would make a great series!

[@karenlewis632]

fun and lovely tags while enjoying your evening...it's a great job we have LOL. 😁

[@kymlafontaine1162]

I am always trying to craft in front of the TV. Have to keep my hands and mind. Busy. Loved this. I would also love to see how you use any of the long strips of paper from the scraps and scrapbooking paper tear offs. I am currently trying to premake a bunch of edges that can be added to pages. Or cut for ephemera. Toppers etc. So would love more ideas. Thanks Wendy. Hi from Manitoba.

[@helenjohnson9066]

I really enjoyed this video Wendy and loved the finished tags!!😊

[@JunkJournalTreasures]

Hi, Wendy! Great video! I would LOVE a series on lap crafting. Not only for when watching TV with hubby but also on and off during the day. When I sit at my desk longer than 30-60 min my back really hurts, makes it hard to craft, lol! I need to find one of those lap desks. tfs Jo Ann xx

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Thanks jo Ann, I find it more relaxing ❤

[@rankinstudios5342]

I would love to see a series, Wendy. Love this.

[@sallygreenhead9708]

Loved this video, very relaxing. Yes please to a lapcrafting series Wendy x

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Yay, thank you!

[@karencarr8250]

Definitely! Because of my back, I have to do most of my work in my stuffed recliner, so I was interested in your board. Thanks for sharing the info. I will have to look into it.

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

I’m so glad it was helpful ❤

[@hanamarcetic5923]

I am so excited about this one, I think I can actually tackle these 🤭 a big hug your way!

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

I love these. Another great video. Thank you.

[@suzanneliddle5279]

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Thanks so much Diane ❤

[@kathleenbyrd9474]
