Using Magazine Images ONLY to Embellish an ENTIRE Journal

[@marilynmccormick1658]

I especially love watching your channel because you don't use printables to create your beautiful journals and ephemra. I find it so much more enjoyable to "create" by repurposing or painting or collage than to print a color coordinated page, cut out the shape and glue it into pockets & onto an envelopes. I appreciate the effort you put into your videos, giving us so many variables on the same creative idea. You always inspire me. Thank you.

[@enigmadawn1112]

Just found you. I usually don't like a video until the end..... When you got to the owl....and spoke for him....the like was instant!

[@TheSfhenska]

This is what I love about you, Natasha. I love that you don't use printables & don't try to sell us every 5 seconds, like other content creators. You are 1 of a kind. I love your art.

[@donnacarraway9182]

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE!! I ABSOLUTELY WOULDN’T MIND IF YOU SOLD SOME PRINTABLES (partly because they would be awesome!) but there are some KZbin channels that sell, sell, sell! I get so tired of it! YOU, NATASHA, ARE A SUPERSTAR!! You should be on the cover of the magazines!! You have such unique and creative ideas, and your ideas go back to the original idea of junk journaling!! Use what you have! Thank you my dear!!!❤❤

Yep same. Alot of creators have forgotten the junk concept n what that means

Yes, a true JUNK journal! There is already too much print material clogging up our landfills - one of the reasons why I don't mind tearing up/reusing old, unread, and unloved books.

Every time I respond, I feel like I am saying the same thing over and over again. Natasha's imagination and ideas are above and beyond the norm. She is truly gifted and generous with her time and ideas. If you don't feel inspired from any one of a number of her amazing videos, I don't know if anything can inspire you. Thanks again Natasha for teaching us all how an ordinary magazine can be made into something beautiful.

[@margiederby4227]

Perfect way to start a day ..thanks for the idea. Read God's word. Followed up with Natasha's inspiration of her passion.

[@mugglescakesniffer3943]

I keep rewatching the no talking part omg I love the sound and the nails across the different things like plastic, the raised text, the pages, the clipping and unclipping and opening and the sound of pulling and putting back into tuck spots. Also the sound of tying the bow. I have loved the paper section of the store all my life and I would go there and feel all the different paper. This is amazing.

[@peaceofjunkjournals]

Yes me too!!! I am just waiting for Natasha to make videos of Junk journal sounds 😍 Her nails are always so beautiful which makes it even nicer!

[@flannelwhiskers]

There are ASMR channels, with junk journal ASMR videos, but Natasha still has them all beat because her sounds are organic, not forced. I fall asleep to her videos as often as my other ASMR video go-tos.

[@peaceofjunkjournals]

@Flannel Whiskers ASMR Yes I agree. I always looks for a very specific type of Junk journal asmr and it's so hard to find what I'm looking for. But what she did in this video in the no talking part was exactly what I am looking for lol. So I hope she makes more like that!

Love this journal. You put an entirely different perspective to looking through magazines. I love, love, love your channel. You are my favorite junk journal creator. I used several of your ideas in a junk journal for my daughters wedding. I used napkins from the wedding and made homemade paper for her journal the process was as you showed and I love how the paper turned out. Keep these great ideas coming.

Also the perfume bottle tag - I'm going to be looking out for all sorts of container images to make tags with now! I do use magazine images, but this video makes me realise I could get MUCH more out of a magazine. The journal as a whole is beautiful. A very satisfying and inspiring video - so well put together with those source material inserts - bravo!

[@kathymeyer6086]

Only 1 word to describe these ideas - brilliant! I just went thru a National Geographics magazine & found 50 or more images. The best part is the magazine was free so these images cost me nothing. Thank you so very much for sharing your creativity.

Also, you have such a sweet nature that has smiling and laughing out loud when you say things like "Natasha from the future here" or the line about not needing to keep repeating the word magazine.

I love to make journals, and find the challenge of recycling even more rewarding, so this video helps me see other ways to use what I have.
