Yes I am a 'collector' lol my word instead of hoarder. I am driving my family nuts with my collections!!

[@pauletteliddell2923]

August 20...2023.. I have a few pages I want to use for covers. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm going to step out and use my older sewing machine and sew some papers and pockets👍🏾.😊🍁🦋

[@cLyon-xi9os]

Love that you cover all aspects of creating art while you work - process, techniques, color, texture, personal quirks. I Really enjoyed this. I plan on watching all your videos!

[@joiedefi]

Wow, that's fantastic!!!! Thanks so much!!!🤓💐👍❤️

[@pauletteliddell2923]

September 8..2024 using up papers is a great idea. A good clean up of papers. 🤗🤗😇🙏👍💜💜

[@melindap.ullrich4564]

Very, very beautiful covers. Again your voice and manner of creating your art pieces are so calm and beautiful.

[@joiedefi]

So lovely to hear this Melinda, really appreciate it 🥰

[@theresa_lili]

Yes, she is fantastic

[@tiasjunkpaper]

I just love the way you talk about collage. A lot of people aren't able to explain their thinking so clearly, but you are, and it's very useful. I also appreciate your enthusiasm for the process and the materials. Thank you so much for your lovely videos!

[@joiedefi]

Wow, thank you!!!!❤️

Thanks Catherine

[@karenshields395]

I am a hoarder by nature and come from hoarder forebears. My mom and Gram. I have collections of everything and excited to think of using them in junk journaling.

[@joiedefi]

You should have been here with me in my craft room this afternoon... I've designed something new using lots of little scraps from my hoard..the satisfaction of using up those pieces is incredible. Will film and share the love 😁😁😁💜💜💜👍

[@joiedefi]

....wow!!!! And you definitely matter to me!!🤓👍❤️

[@KariGibsonArt]

The covers are lovely and that is a great idea to use tessellated (yes, a great word, LOL) book pages for the substrate. 💖💖

[@joiedefi]

Like that word , substrate 👌👌👌💜

[@juneribbons5196]

I love your covers. They are awesome. I've used cereal boxes, backs of tablets, the bottom of large paper bags from Winco and the covers of magazines. I glued the magazine overs together till I was satisfied with the thickness. A while back I ordered some papers that included as, book pages, music ect ect. I didnt quite know how to use them till I watched this video. Thank you for posting this. It seems like you knew exactly what I needed to see. A couple of years ago, about the time I started making paper crafts, my daughter-in- law told me that my apt looked kinda like I was getting to be a horder. That was before I saw my first junk journal and started saving all kinds of cardboard from cereal boxes to close tags and egg cartons, so yes I'm officially a horder now, but my hord is semi organized lol. I just need a craft room to get totally neat !!!

[@joiedefi]

So resourceful, which is absolutely wonderful. I applaud your design ideas June, nice one!! Welcome to my channel, welcome on board 😄👍💜

[@missyb.623]

Tesselate! Fun word. I appreciate that you use robust and autumnal, they are not part of my vernacular. Now time to try ruminate and oscillate- but not at the same time 🤭

[@joiedefi]

👌🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@prof.mommyarty]

Glue and paper, absolute heaven!. I'm loving this beautiful collage with the gorgeous photos😍😍. I'm a complete newbie at this kind of craft and LOVING it! So helpful. Tesselation! It's right up there with repagination! Love your attention to the top corners! Teal and purple are my favourites 😍 but also love the vintage look. Thank you 😁💖

[@joiedefi]

You're amazing......you always make me smile 😁❤️❤️❤️

Ooo! I realize this is an older video, but I'm just seeing it now. And, I must say that I love how you used such a large bird image on the inside of your sample journal. I am always struggling to find a way to use those large, beautiful images. Thanks for the idea!

I know what you mean, big images and pages are beautiful but not as easy to use..I might have to make another of these 😁🤣🤣👍🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thank you for the video. I believe foxing refers to the little brown spots that you get on old paper not the general yellowing near the edges.

Hi Joie, I have been watching you for a year now and love your style of paper play. I have picked up some wonderful ideas and tips from you and watching this, I have one for you.......why not scan those lovely collage pages and sell them as digital prints? You make such wonderful pages I am sure people would buy them, so original! Also it is so nice that you have changed your video style a little bit so we can see you :)

[@joiedefi]

Great feedback on the video style...I really appreciate that. The collage papers are actually from Artymaze and Tracie Fox... I'm able to use them but not copy them. They are beautiful aren't they 👌💜💜💜💜💜

lovely idea for using up book pages and scraps

[@joiedefi]

Absolutely!!!🤓👍💜

[@lalagamma4452]

These covers are so beautiful. I like the way you don't glue the entire piece down so if you want to tuck under or over you can leave the other pieces in at your leisure. that makes a lot of sense so many times I start to do something and then I realize that I have to cover it with something else. Thanks for everything Joie. 🦋🤗🐞🥰🐝

[@tessaw.4335]

@@joiedefi Update: I decided to use a folder instead. It's going well! Do you have any recommendations for a sort of gloss over it? The regular glue just seeps through it and makes it soggy...

[@joiedefi]

I avoid too much PVA glue. You could try a thin coating of gesso...it adds a bit of rigidity and dries well without covering images and patterns if you add a thin coat. It also sticks things down a bit. Just an idea. It's what I do to mine. ❤️❤️🌿
