Tutorial | making a super fast journal |

[@heartdive]

I also made a last minute journal today for this JJJ! So excited!

[@lafabriquedeloulou8650]

Rachel, I enjoy so much watching you making journals (not only journals). I don't know why because I know how to make them. It is something magical and fascinating I cannot explain... Merci!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@cindymiller4735]

She has such pretty papers from which to choose! So different from mine, and so I love to see her papers!

[@janrichards6519]

This was an awesome video to watch ❣ you've proved that little book covers shouldn't be overlooked 📚

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@cathybrodie5721]

Greeting from Oz! I love your journal. You make selecting the pages look so easy. I’m away in Western Queensland at the moment, but am hoping to join in JJJ when I get back in a week. 😍

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@milliegateley8862]

Hi Rachel, I have been watching for 2 years several channels but never learned how to make this particular type of journal. And I didn’t know I could add a signature! That’s awesome! Thank you so much. Hugs 🤗

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

I love the idea of sliding signatures in elastic binding, have never done that before 😊 Such a cute journal ❤️ Thank you Rachel 🌺

[@roxycreations679]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@nickiscraftingcorner4265]

The cutting of the corners for the binding is a game changer for me! TFS!😍

Don't know how it works, but it occurred to me yesterday that it might... the things I think of... hahaha... thoroughly enjoyed watching you do this and following along, even if it took me hours of backwards and forwards... Cheers for sharing Lovely...

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@dorislew636]

Your tip about not pre-cutting threads and elastics is just brilliant. No more bit of thread floating around. Thank you.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@Shane-us4ks]

Loved this video Rachel and I learnt so much! Thank you! You’re such a great teacher and make it look so easy! Mine will probably look a bit bodgie, but I will love it!🤣 JJ July will be my first, can’t wait for the fun to start! I’ve learnt so much from your wonderful videos. I remember that suffocating heat - when I visited my daughter in France!🧚‍♀️

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@CarolMartineArt]

Brilliant! I’ve never tried a Midori style journal before…you make it seem so simple. Going to have to give this a go. I have a bunch of old(ish)books I can use for this project. Thanks for the inspiration…once again!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@debbivaughn1313]

👍👍That went together so fast and turned out adorable. I'm just reusing the same journal I made for Junk Journal January, because I put waaaaay too many pages in by only counting one side.🤦‍♀️🤣 I'm new at all this so I forgive myself. Also, it never crossed my mind to put pretty pages in to start with (except for one piece of your straw paper.🤗🥰

[@joanclairehughes4218]

Thank you! 🤗

[@suzannebigbee7596]

Awesome!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@susanboyter9034]

I've found I like the small books. Most that I've had dont have a big enough spine

[@margaretcomella3318]

Nifty! 👍🌞❤

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@donetahill6102]

When you do your challenges do you only do the prompts they give you or do you add more things to the page

[@roxycreations679]

I do both to make it work

[@jennifermechling1272]

Great video!!! Is that a special glue spreader?

[@roxycreations679]

It's a silicone face mask applicator. Thank you!! 😊

[@octoberiris4815]

What kind of hole punch and eyelet set did you use?

[@roxycreations679]

We r memory keepers

[@bohocraftychica]

OMG! I’ve been meaning to ask if you do that size! Thank you so much. Did you take out the spine?

[@bohocraftychica]

I see that you didn’t!

[@pamelamaynecorreia1688]

Does it worry you to take apart these old books? I know where you are they are plentiful but I took apart a new book for my journal of stitchery and felt horrible. Just curious. I am loving creating the pages to put in though.

[@roxycreations679]

If the book is super special I feel bad and won't do it. If they are books that aren't in a great state and aren't of any interest to anyone I have no problem. i feel like they are getting new life which is better than throwing them out or having them in a box somewhere going mouldy. I also remind myself that quite often these books are one of multiple volumes that have been lost along the way. If it's not a complete set no one wants them. I would never pull apart a complete set of anything. i hope this helps! If no one was going to read it nor look at it no need to feel guilty. Thank you so much.

[@pamelamaynecorreia1688]

It's just impossible to find the really old books here, Alberta Canada If you do find them they cost a lot. Most would be over $50 if not in $100s. So not really an option. I ended up with one on ww2 and my sis a Stephen king novel. Lol.
