Yours is my most favorite trash or junk journal. It gives you so much freedom it’s amazing. I was trying to make junk journals but then got into a rut of trying to make it too pretty and then getting frustrated with myself because what I was creating wasn’t “pretty enough”. I was trying to make it too perfect and it was getting me stuck. I came across your video and it has inspired me to create with total freedom. Thank you 🙏🏽

Danielle, that makes me so happy! I am sometimes the same way. I feel like I am overthinking, or trying to do things the "right way" -- whatever that is. I am most happy when I just do what feels natural and use what is around me. Thank you so much!! 💜💛💙

Doing this kind of journal, shows just how much " trash" we accumulate in a day...and it's fun! 💝😊

Howdy! New friend here! Thank you so much for sharing your trashy! I love working with junk mail and packaging... especially food packaging because it's so bright and colorful! Yeppers... I agree... when I start saving trash... oh, my... the pile grows and grows! It accumulates much faster than I could possibly journal with it. I have to learn to be a little more selective with my trash! Blessings & Bubbles...oooOOO

Inspiration has struck... Thank you so much!! I visited Canada (from NZ) the year or so before covid happen. I collected everything. Everything. All that sentimental (literal junk in some cases) has been sitting there because I haven't wanted to put it in a journal. Because it just felt weird to do it like that. Clashed, if you understand me. But a Canada junk journal... That makes sense!

Hello!! I love this journal. I am new to Junk Journaling and excited with all the videos I have been viewing, I do hope to see more tutorial videos to assist me in getting started or get a Journal made. If I may ask, How did you get started and what sort of ideas do you enjoy creating? Thank you for your feedback. Christine S.
@abitofbirdsong3 жыл бұрын
Hi Christine! Thank you so much for being here and watching! I have been keeping a "diary" for 35 years, so I was very used to writing everything down. About 12 or so years ago I started gluing things into my diaries to make more of a "smash book." It was also about that time I noticed the Stampington magazines on the magazine shelves in Barnes and Noble, so I started buying those from time to time and got very inspired by mixed media. I guess about 4 years ago (something like that) I got on KZbin to figure out how to make my own journals and I discovered a few KZbin channels: Jessica at Paper Terrace, April at Pink Odd Bird, and Liz Drake were my first inspirations. I love Old World style but also Victorian style, and gothic. I'm pretty eclectic when it comes to creating! Thanks for asking! 💜🦋🙋🏻♂️

Try going to a frame shop that sells posters and prints. They usually have books to look thru to make your selection. The books get updated periodically. They may give them away if you ask. I still have 2of them from when I did custom picture framing more than 25 years ago.
