DIY Master Board in BOOK FORM - AKA Art Journal TUTORIAL

In this video I am taking the concept of a Master Board and creating it in book form using a catalogue. I have made a few, so some I will use as an Art Journal, and others I will cut up as you would a master board! Happy Creating!

Nathasa, you always have something wonderful to teach us for recycling all kind of magazines that arrives almost every day by mail and usually go in to the trash. And all of them are magnificently beautiful and practical to use as you say, for journaling, or drawing, even for saving those ideas that we have and wanted to put in one place for when we need it. I love all your wonderful ideas. You're more clever than any magician, you always have something new, simple, unique and very useful up your sleeve. Thank you very, very much for sharing!!!

[@estelleloye8043]

There are so many of us here in Southern Oregon watching your videos!! We chatted about you at an Arts and Crafts Fair this past weekend ❤️ we love what you show us and how sweet and positive you are 🌈

[@jennifersantucci1855]

I really love this idea of a master board journal made of old magazines! I must admit, I’ve recycled magazines that I didn’t think I could use for junk journaling and now I’m kicking myself for not thinking of this idea! I also love how you emphasized that this doesn’t need to be finished in one sitting. I get so caught up in finishing that it sometimes takes the joy out of creating. Thank you Natasha!

[@MaAllen417]

I use this as I have scraps I will grab it and open to a page and glue some paper, put it aside and when I come to a creative block or just have a few minutes I glue something else down. It makes it my art/ practice anything book. So It doesn't matter. Its all about playing and seeing what works.

[@Judymontel]

Brilliant!

I like your idea. "Yard by yard life is hard. Inch by inch, it's a cinch."

[@Demy217]

Your entire vibe is inspirational & relaxing. There are times when crafts/diy/art can be stressful because there's a need for "perfection".

[@carlat.2647]

Natasa thank you so much! Once I discovered your channel I really start to feel proud of this interest of mine. Now I'm preparing a junk photograph book with magazine images and collaging, and you really make my day with this tutorial! Your videos are so inspiring and yours tutorial so well done, it's a very gift that you decided to open the channel. Wishing you aaaaall all the best

[@Imma_rose2]

I love this idea. It’s about a place to capture your growth in journaling whether it be art, writing, a place for extras and especially a place to look back and remember ways of creating and inspiration. Thank you so much!

[@JoanetteDrosteWader]

The inner groove is called the gutter. Just thought I’d pass it on. I studied desktop publishing. I love this video! It’s something that can be done a few minutes at a time. Thank you!

[@coreen9424]

THIS IS right up my creative alley. You know when you know! It speaks to me. I’m wild about your videos!!! Been binging your channel for months now. Thank you, thank for giving of your time, talent, and treasure~~~~~~🥰

[@thaliahelene]

This is a great idea! I like how you have used the existing magazine as a base. Yet the contents don't matter because you are collaging over. One could just use other paper... I have a booklet stapler so could make my own. I also might cut down the size of the sheets to have a more interesting booklet with square or golden-mean size leaves. I love your more vintage style rather than some "cute" scrap book styles I have seen out there. To each his/her own, but find yours very attractive. I just found your channel a couple of days ago. My mother was a fine bookbinder, but she was only so good at it. I wish she had found the relaxed style of modern art book collaging before she passed away. She might really have enjoyed this. How you would have loved her scraps!

[@barbaragrove3651]

Oh Natasa I love this! I have been looking for an idea on how I can make a different kind of journal for my 12 year old granddaughter. She is very artistic, and has been going through a hard time...so I really wanted to make something special for her. This is the PERFECT idea! Thank you so much...this really is an answer to prayer!! Much love!

Every time I watch one of your videos I think “wait, you can do that?!?”. Then ideas start bouncing around this brain like ping pong balls in a classroom of bored, unsupervised seventh-graders. Marrying a glue book with a collage master board is a simple, useful, accessible, satisfying idea. It is also a brilliant idea. Thank you so much for making this video.

[@debk1915]

How fun! What a fun way to use up scraps! Love all the ideas you shared - as an art journal, to clip in and save things made and to cut up as a master board. I think it would be a fun treasure book for those last bits of favorite papers, laces, trims and images…and to keep “samples” of the beautiful things I learned to make from your videos!❤ Thank you! I’m looking at catalogs and brochures in a new way! 😉

I love this idea! I'm definitely inspired to do this! I made one years ago. But I've been so busy making journals for people that I haven't had much time just to play.

[@znycelondon5313]

I love this idea. I look at all my pretty pieces of scraps….knowing I won’t throw them away……🤗🤗🤗….by creating books like this I can still enjoy each and every scrap . Working in the book over time……adding when I feel creative! Your projects are always inspiring and give me ideas to not only create similar pieces……yet add my own thoughts to your original work and make wonderful pages of art🥰

[@rebeccabodine413]

Good advice about wrapping the edges. I wouldn't have thought about that.

[@HeavenlyTreasures7]

Thank you Natasa for the great idea! I have been saving catalogs & magazines intending to make “some sort” of journals. My wonderful artist friends will love these! 💜 Thank you for your wonderful ideas and tutorials. I look forward to each one!

Totally cool idea! It’s great that we can make any size we want depending on the catalogue size. And I hate wasting paper so this is awesome. Seems like it could make a great gift as well!

[@donnamcc9375]

I absolutely LOVE this idea! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have so many scraps that I don't want to throw away but they are not right for other projects I want to do. This is perfect and looks like so much fun. I am definitely going to pull out my boxes of scraps and put them to use on this great project, throw perfection and precise cuts out the window and just have some fun. Yay!!

This is wonderful. I love the concept and the texture. As you were holding it, you could hear the sound of the paper and see the strength of the book. I love the idea as a book cover too. Great fun. Wonderful tutorial (as always!)

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

i love to glue my scraps into brochures that i get in the mail - some i use as art journals and some i use to tear out the page to create a tag - or a journal card or as tucks or belly bands - these are fun to make and wonderful to have on hand for creating - thanks Natasa - be well xx

[@Mhyreade]

You have just ruined my day! I have so many ideas already and now I have another. How will I ever find the time? You just keep piling on.😂 Ok, serious now. I love your ideas. I think I will do this for myself and then use it for a sample book. I don't have a sample book yet and I could really use one. So often I forget about all the cool things that can be added to journals. Thank you so much for your continued inspiration.

[@michaliaholliday9569]

❤️ I'm so delighted for this video! I have been making similar books intuitively as I watch other techniques. I started last summer and did multi page spreads with base pages of an old school year book. I used seasonally themed colors, nature images, and collected fairy art. I added all sorts of pockets, tuck spots, flips,(I love layering flips! ) and the bits of extra bling that I have learned from watching all of your videos. I have three completed, and one that is a work in progress that I pass back and forth with my daughter. We take turns adding new art, and I love that we can share the process and have something to gift to her when it's completed that we made together. Thank you for your bounty of wonderful ideas! ❣️

Oh, I love this idea. I recently cleaned out a stash of travel brochures and maps from a time when a friend visited me here in Australia from UK. I discovered we had duplicates of some things and set them aside to see if they'd be useful for snipping. I realised a couple will be perfect to make into journals so will keep them aside especially.

Her explanations are VERY good and she's one of my favorite youtubers. If you've just discovered her channel then you've got a treat in store! While you're waiting for her next video to come out you can go watch her old videos. Some of my favorites are when she made the paper flowers (not the pleated ones - the ones where she cuts out individual petals) and the envelope junk journal. I need to watch the one with the pleated flowers again during the day with some good quality paper strips at hand. When I watched it the first time it was late at night and I didn't have the right materials to follow along and my flowers were a miserable fail - which is really unusual because she does such good tutorials. I'm getting my craft closet put together now and my mouth is watering because I can't wait to get crafting. Right now all of my craft supplies are scattered hither and yon. It will be so nice to have a whole little space just for crafting! Welcome to junk journaling! I know you will have a fun time! There are lots of excellent JJ channels on YT. Be sure to check out Camellia Crafts Designs. (I love her accent.) Nik the Booksmith is great fun too. Happy crafting!

This was the perfect video to stumble across today - I just went through all my old magazines, got out what I could use & tossed the dregs. But, I get brochures from travel places, & it's really good quality paper. The central spread of one is a lovely mostly blank spread with a stretched out world map. The cover is colourful so I knew I could use the whole thing to make a journal. Your idea is exactly what I can do!
