Junk Journal Joy Challenge 2023:
• JUNK JOURNAL JOY CHALL...
----------
About me:
Hello, I’m Francesca from Junk Journal Joy,
a junk journal enthusiast, and a creator.
I’m Italian and I love creating handmade journals with vintage things
mixed with recycled or new modern objects.
My background is in Psychology, so I like practicing creativity as a mindful activity.
For me, the creative process doesn’t always have to be meaningful.
When you create just to create,
and you go with the flow,
it becomes a way to meditate
and to find your inner peace.
Sometimes the meaning of it
will emerge only with time.
Making journals and journaling
is a powerful tool to reveal our stories in my experience
and I’m glad to be able to give a contribution to spreading the voice.
I love to share junk journal tutorials from start to finish,
quick craft projects on a budget, how to turn junk into something elegant and beautiful,
precious and timeless handmade books flip through,
tips and tricks to help you express your voice through creativity, and have fun!

Francesca, I’ve been watching Natasha for years. I saw the video where she to,d the story of her life. Very emotional hearing what she went through. Her videos are great, she writes down the steps and goes step by step. Thanks for showing her book. I absolutely love your style. You show to take her book and make something of hers into your own. Thanks so much for sharing. ❤😊

[@JunkJournalJoy]

thank you so much Pam!! ☺️ I agree with you about her, what a generous and great teacher, we are lucky to have her in our community and yes, her story … eh! thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about this and on my take on the book, I really appreciated it! ☺️🌹🙏🏻

[@pambotter365]

You’re so very welcome! ❤

[@lorrieludwick4070]

Can you post a link to the “story of her life” video?

[@pambotter365]

It was a couple years ago but I’m sure if you go to Natasha’s channel and scroll through her videos you can find it. I can’t remember exactly when it was but I would say a couple years ago.

[@AliciaDesigns]

[@JayBeckah]

Hiya Francesca! 🌸 I hope you are well. I ordered my book at the beginning of the month (from Amazon France), & it should be reaching me the last week of November! Woohoo; I can't wait! 😃 I follow the Treasure Books KZbin channel too, but I'm really excited for the book. I can't wait to look at the photos of her work up close! You've done a beautiful project too, made following her instructions but adapted to your own style! 🥰

[@JunkJournalJoy]

uh I forgot to mention in the video!! the content is great, photos are great etc. but also, the cover is like I don’t know, like… velvet??!! this book is great also to touch!! you’ll see ☺️ let me know when it will arrive what you think!! 😃🙌🏻 and thank you for watching and for your kind comment on my version of the junk mail cover ☺️🫶❤️ I’m well and I hope you too!! hugs!!

[@JayBeckah]

@@JunkJournalJoy - Ooh you've got me super curious about the cover now! Also I forgot to ask you: are you bringing a book out too? 😀

[@JunkJournalJoy]

it’s not like velvet… velvet.. it’s more … I don’t know, it’s not like paper “paper”… you’ll see!! and yes, I’m currently writing a book :) ✨:)))

[@JayBeckah]

@@JunkJournalJoy - I wonder if it's what's sometimes described as "buttery" paper, kind of a soft feeling to it? And that's AMAZING that you really are writing a book oh my gosh!! 💖 So much hard work but I'm sure it'll all be well worth it at the end once you get to hold your "baby" in your hands! Thank you for sharing about Natasa's book, and now we have yours to look forward to as well! I don't know if you had already shared on your chanel about it (I feel like maybe you had I don't have a great memory so I have a doubt) but if you had, I apologise for only congratulating you now. 😅 Anyway. I hope you have a lovely rest of your day!

[@JunkJournalJoy]

buttery paper?! I’ve never heard about it!! I’ll check if that’s the case, because really, it’s so good to touch!! about my book: it’s the first time that I’m talking about it, and I did only for transparency (I have the same publisher of Natasa) because right now I’m only at the beginning of this journey and I’m so nervous 🫨 I’m doing my best!! thank you so much for your encouragement ☺️🌹❤️

[@kathleenmccrory9883]

It's a fabulous book. If you're planning on writing one as well, that would be awesome! There aren't enough resources like this out there.

[@JunkJournalJoy]

thank you so much Kathleen ☺️🙏🏻 yes, I’m currently writing it, I’m doing my best ✨🤞🏻 thank you for sharing your experience with this book! it’s great to read lovely things about that, especially because I agree with you!! 🌹

[@carolynbutler4838]

What pure delight to find your video reviewing Natasa's book. You and Natasa are two of my most favorite KZbin Junk Journal creators/teachers. I've been working my way through Natasa's book over the past month, and loving everything about it. It's inspirational as well as informational. I have great admiration for her for showing how the creative arts can help us overcome the obstacles life puts in front of us. How wonderful that you are working on your own book about junk journaling. Your delivery style in your videos is heartfelt, genuine, and lovely to listen to and see. Your work absolutely astonishes me. Be well and keep on sharing your talent with us.

[@JunkJournalJoy]

thank you so much Carolyn for your kind words☺️💕 this means so much!!

[@JSteer.FlowerOfMyHeart]

Yes! I quickly bought Natasa's book as soon as I heard about it. She has inspired me so much with her videos. Now I can learn from her book as well. Thanks for sharing your review. More crafters can use her book as a fantastic resource. 😁

[@JunkJournalJoy]

I agree with you🥰 thanks for sharing your experience!

[@WiseSkies144]

I haven't got this book yet but I will buy it. It looks very comprehensive and seems to address all aspects of journal making. I'm really happy for Natasha, she's done a great job and her channel is full of numerous things to make with lots of good ideas. I think if you write a book Francesca it will also be fabulous, I adore your style and would definitely buy your book. 🌸 xx

[@JunkJournalJoy]

this book is like the enciclopedia of the junk journals, I think nothing is missing, really! what a big great job! thank you for your kind words about Natasa and also for me!! it means a lot!! I’m doing my best!! 🌹🌹🌹

[@laracraft82]

I love Natashias work she is very talented and inspiring. I'm so glad you reviewed her book as I have always wondered about it and thought it be interesting 😊❤ I saw the video telling us about her life story can see why creativity saved her life I think. I love your journal too lovely 😊

[@oltreloscrapdimari]

Ciao Francesca, molto bello🤩, la seguo da anni ed è davvero bravissima. Ma da Amazon America ho visto k ci sono più di 13 dollari per la spedizione. Ci saranno anche le spese doganali? Grazie mille 😘

[@JunkJournalJoy]

su amazon italia mi da questo Treasure Book Making: Crafting Handmade Sustainable Journals amzn.eu/d/gEw2B0E puoi comprarlo anche digitale :)

[@oltreloscrapdimari]

@@JunkJournalJoy grazie mille 🥰, lo compro. Solo una domanda, qualcosa in lingua italiana c è? Grazie mille per la tua disponibilità, sei sempre gentile 😍😘🔝

[@JunkJournalJoy]

ma sai che in italiano non credo… ma neanche magazine per dire… meno male che siamo il paese degli artisti (??)😀

[@oltreloscrapdimari]

@@JunkJournalJoy cmq l ho comprato e non vedo l'ora k arriva🤩. Magari anche tu farai una rivista con doppia lingua 🥰, se sì sarò la tua prima acquirente❤️😘🔝🔝

[@JunkJournalJoy]

il mio uscirà in inglese (magari se il mercato si aprirà anche un po’ in Italia… chissà 🤷🏻‍♀️🤞🏻)

[@akwaba16]

Bjr pourriez vous mettre des traductions en français merci beaucoup 👋🌈🇨🇵🌲

[@JunkJournalJoy]

essayez d'appuyer sur la molette des réglages (c'est en haut à droite de la vidéo) puis appuyez sur "sous-titres" je ne sais pas si ça marche toujours, j'espère que c'est utile !

[@Rebecca-zw4pm]

Hi Francesca! I love Natasha. She was a huge inspiration to me when I first started. She is also an amazing teacher. I just ordered her book and i can't wait to get it. Now I am very much looking forward to your book. I love your style (it's similar to mine), and the way you so gently explain your process; it's captivating. Everything you make is beautiful. I wish you all the best, and much success in this journey you are taking to write your book. 🌸🩷

[@JunkJournalJoy]
