Using Photo Album Pockets in Junk Journals (LOTS OF IDEAS)

[@brendariddle2349]

You are a genius!!! Your ideas amaze me. I love them. I have a lot of these old albums & almost threw them away the other day. Now I can share the pages with my friends. Thank you.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@JeanBenefield]

Wow!!!! Thank you for the great ideas!!!! Thank you for sharing your creativity and talent!!!!!!!

[@robindonnelly]

Natasha, you must stay awake at night thinking up new content. Thank you so much!

[@dashabo3583]

All your ideas and project are absolutely beautiful 😍. I love them very much! Very pleased how detailed description you give us about you create. I start doing some little elements from that I have at home for practice and relax. Thank you for your masterclasses! Have a great time and more new interesting projects. With love from Ukraine 🖐️💙💛

[@kristinavanburen8670]

You never leave me where I started as a beginner that I am ... and surprise me with big AHA'S!!

[@carolnedow3522]

What an amazing idea. I have one and now know what to do with it. Craft room here I come.

[@TreasureBooks]

heheh watch out

[@sandrasimard1808]

I love how you explain how to do your projects ,the soft voice ,makes it so calming an relaxing, thank you so much for all you share,

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@alicesullivan1790]

You are so clever. Isn't it amazing how, when we let our inner, non-judgmental child mind out to play, it is freed to not even consider a box; and once it plays with one idea, more ideas just keep coming. I also loved how you put writing notes on the video announcing that something you had done, didn't work, you also noted how you figured out how to fix that issue, i.e. the glue didn't work, so you tried something else, and that worked! Letting your imagination lead you to a create a fun crafting mixed ,media piece of art, requires one set of skills; but to also be able to break it down into simple steps and teach someone how to do what you are doing, ... as you are doing it, is a mind-boggling, much more complex set of master craftswoman skills. THOSE WHO CAN CREATE wonderful, beautiful, and useful craft art; while, at the same time, creatively, clearly, and expertly TEACH others, are my HEROES/HEROINES.

[@TreasureBooks]

Oh wow, thank you SO much Alice!!!! Made my day!

[@alicesullivan1790]

@@TreasureBooks Just stating the facts as I see them. As a former training officer, I have some experience evaluating instructors, and with some education regarding training and instruction, I have an even greater appreciation of what it takes to be an entertaining and effective teacher like you.

[@sassyh154]

What a great idea Natasha... you amaze me, your brain must never shut off.. I know mine doesn't... but I still come up with all these great ideas you get... Thank you so much for sharing.... Blessings...

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Sass :)

[@cindyharrington7246]

You are a true junk journal maker. You are extremely creative and make such beautiful items. I enjoy seeing the things you create. I also love your story. You are very brave. Thanks for sharing your gift.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Cindy :)

[@sjkq1234]

Watching you create gives me so many ideas I don't know where to begin. Your journals are full of inspiration! I love everything you make and even your voice is lovely. I go to your videos first, always. Thank you!! I

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much :)

[@koriefrith7384]

I have loved using the photo sleeves in my journals for about 2 years now. have even added sequins too for a shaker element. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

[@bettylongshore9594]

Love your idea about adding sequins and making shakers with the photo sleeves!!!!!

[@wonderwend]

They'd make perfect shakers!

[@lisadiver5253]

Hi Natasha, This is really a great idea! It is interesting because normally our journals are made with paper products and items to add another material like this definitely gives it a different look. I truly like the fact that you are looking at new ways to use everyday objects into making journaling. Every time we can repurpose something into another thing new it is a gift to the world to reduce waste. Which in this day and age is a good thing. Thanks again!

[@TreasureBooks]

Yes Lisa, definitely!! You will love my next video :)

[@karibau2912]

I love all of your videos. You are an awesome teacher! Thank you for providing the best instructions for crafting! I am very new at this but when I see all the beautiful crafts you create I am so inspired to create! I am not yet as good as you are at it but I am growing. Thank you for brightening my day with joy and inspiration!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much, that makes me so happy :)

[@amberteitsworthhummel7407]

What an amazing idea! I love it! Thank you, Natasha!

[@MaAllen417]

I love those signatures.

[@dinapreuss1922]

You're a genius. I love these ideas. I've got several old photo books that I've hated throwing out. Now I know what to do with them. Also, I've had great success gluing things onto plastic using a very thin line of "Gel Control Super Glue." You can see the glue so you have to cover it with lace, or trim, etc. Thanks for sharing this! 💞

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Dina!!

[@Sudlesuebaker]

Love this. I use albums to store my ephemera - easy to see with the clear sleeves.

[@catherinedeseton964]

hey, that's another great idea..."now what did I do with the other photo albums I bought sometime ago..."

[@medievallassie]

I was going to reply with that as well, lol! I turned several of those pages into ephemera pages, added holes for a small 5 ring binder (like a daily planner) and I love it! It hold my small fussy cuts and such.

[@tammymchenry3675]

Great idea. I use baseball card sleeves and I bought loose refill photo pages to use for ephemera. Never thought about using the whole album. Funny how i didn’t make the transition. Thanks for getting me there.

[@DeirdreJ_AutomationArchitect]

Awesome idea too. Thank you for sharing it.

[@kaylap5759]

That's a great idea. Thank you! Now I know what I'm doing tomorrow, lol.

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

We used to use these all the time for pockets in our junk and travel journals about ten years ago. I can't remember where I first saw it, perhaps in the remains of the day journals. If not that, someone taught it way back then. We would use them to put ephemera in when we went on travels or the movies, or to keep receipts or special letters, etc. When I ran out of picture pockets, I would use page protectors and sew across the bottom and put bits of material or washi tape on the sides and sew them and use them just like a page in a junk journal, but only about 3 1/2 " to four inches tall and then sew two together with a piece of paper or a piece of cloth and then sew it into your signature just like any other page you would sew into your signature for your junk journal. But you have given me a couple of new ideas of using them as trianglar pockets. Thanks for sharing,

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you Lenella :)

[@hopewilkes74]

Love, Love, Love what you do!! So happy to watch you.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much 😊

[@lisasmilesalotp6023]

I love the way that you find ways to reuse stuff for other purposes than what they were made for

[@cynthiacooke9785]

Goodness! I am a very senior getting rid of pictures! Did 5 albums today! Now after your video I had better keep the inner pages at least! Thanks again

[@melindap.ullrich4564]

You did a wonderful job coming up with different things to remake with those album photo sleeves.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you :)

[@05grandkids]

You are an amazing girl. You never run out of ideas. I could watch your videos all day. 😊

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much 😊

[@rickiquilt]

Great ideas for repurposed photo albums!!! Thanks

[@lorrainebowden2683]

I knew I could count on you to have a video on making junk journals using photo pockets. I just found a pretty little photo album at my thrift store and I was wondering how to use it as a junk journal. So, I searched KZbin and Voila! I found your video. I am already a subscriber, but I was so happy to see that you had a video on this subject. I love your videos. Thank you!💞

[@sima6317]

What a wonderful idea they would all look wonderful in a junk journal, thanks for sharing

[@maramariajarvis3425]

You are great, I admire every one that recycles and repurposes. I love your ideas, looking forward to all your videos. Thank you!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@debraemmons9251]

What a fantastic idea. I am brand new to junk journals and now have a way to use the old albums I have been hoarding for years. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to binge watching your ideas as I relax in the Florida sunshine away from the cold North.

[@TreasureBooks]

Ah Debra, that sound heavenly. Welcome to my channel, so glad to have you :)

[@dianetimmons7999]

Fabulous ideas!

[@orch712]

Thank you for sharing very creative idea. Love it!!

[@jilldavidson2204]

Such great ideas, and you are right, the thrift shops have heaps of them. I do like the side-opening pocket as it means the transparent sheet doesn't get stretched. I am going to try that and hinge it to the edge of the page where you have the paper clip. The hinge would make it slightly narrower otherwise I think it should work. I love your channel, and the clear way you explain and demonstrate things. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Jill!

[@theolachapman6126]

I love all your ideas for albums pockets great ideas all of your pockets are great keep up your great ideas thank you for sharing Theola

[@PattyLangSacredMementos]

These are just Great! What a Nifty Idea & Thank you for sharing!

[@Vintagekindagirl3]

I was just t the thrift store today and kept looking at the photo albums... "what could I do with these"... and then watched your video! Back to the thrift store tomorrow. LOL. Thank you for an amazing tutorial.

[@shirl57]

Great idea and perfect timing!! Just this week came across a photo album that I never used but had for a long time. It's a new but old one if that makes sense. I started to send it to the Thrift Store but thought there has to be a way to use these pages in my journals so I kept it .... and viola .... here you are with the perfect idea!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Hehe came at the right time. I'm glad you kept it and now have some ideas to start using it :)

[@jeretta1000]

These are darling! I love them.Thank you for sharing.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thanks so much 😊

[@darnelleechols8556]

"It's the adding of little things that makes a thing amazing.". That's very true. Thank you for all of your wonderful ideas. ❤️ P.S. Love your stencil ideas! :)

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Darnelle :) I appreciate all your support :)

[@phyllisscutt9902]

Clever idea and I have these kind of pages in an old photo album!

[@gemmalclarke]

I super super love these ideas - thanks Natasa!

[@annieliz1965]

I picked up a small photo album like that about a year ago - it is stuffed full of my fussy cuts etc. Thank you for all the extra ideas - I'll have to buy another one now...

[@dianneblake]

Originally, I had a 5x7 brag book. It was cheap. I used it to store my dies. I would take a 5x7 piece of cardstock and tape thin magnets to the cardstock. Then I would place the metal dies on top of the magnets, and slide them into pockets. I had separate brag books for different kinds of dies. For example, one for nested shapes like circles and squares. Another for flower shapes and another for border shapes. I added pretty papers into the cover pockets. This is a nice storage solution if you have a small number of dies.

[@letslistentobooks894]

I've been binge watching your channel ... great content! I love how you've repurposed these album pockets!! Genius! :D

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much! It means a lot :)

[@lenscraftylife]

Great idea. I love the fun ones. Tfs. Blessings.

[@lorrainedurgee1761]

[@AnneSmith-g7m]

Another fabulous idea.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you! 😊

[@cynthiacunningham7882]

oh my goodness, what a clever idea!! thank you for sharing this, because i will certainly steal it...LOLthumbs up

[@sylvaniansdownunder]

They're all amazing. I see those type of photo albums at opshops and often think what can you do with them🤔 Well you have found a solution, I love it

[@Dawnakh60]

This is fantastic!! Oh and people without sewing machines could use washi tape to seal up the edges....going to go play and make some! Thanks for the idea! You are my hero!! 😁

[@ginasmiley9118]

Thanks!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Gina!!

[@aurorarodriguez9500]

What wonderful ideas! I think I have a couple of these albums in my house somewhere. I'm thinking it would also make a great travel journal!! Thank you for the ideas and the tutorial. Have a great day!

[@3rscrafting]

[@juliemangold1883]

This is brilliant! I find these all the time at Goodwill, etc. Love this idea!

[@cheryl2455]

Wonderful video! And I have those photo books too. I hated to get rid of them! Ah ha! This is why I tell my husband as to why I keep stuff!! I am going to show him this video! Thanks for sharing!

[@TreasureBooks]

Hehe my husband has finally stopped asking :) He gets it now

[@2281CozyBrickCape]

Love the ideas that you’ve come up with from those picture albums. I have found them in thrift stores and now, I can give them a new life.

I love the photo pockets flip over idea, will def use. Got some old photo albums that I found while garage shopping and can't wait to use them in my journal. Keep up the good work wish you all of the success and blessing for you and your family. Thank you 😊

[@myrnavillareal1]

Wonderful & creative. I love your mind. Thank you for sharing!

[@joywingert1513]

Great idea! I had printed some old family photos onto glossy photo paper with an inkjet, but wasn't sure how to protect them in a journal. Now I know how!!!

[@trishsmith6565]

Thank you so much for the wonderful ideas, Natasha! I am so excited to add these in my journals. You are so kind to share your talents with us!😊💕

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much for watching Trish!

[@SimpLeeBeth]

I haven't read the other comments, but I have a couple ideas. 1) You could use washi around the sides instead of (or in addition to) sewing, and 2) You could sew lace on the angle cut before sewing the clear sheet to the paper backing of your side tuck design 😊

[@bettymetz3746]

Awesome and so helpful!! I am blown away!! Thanks so much creative lady❤️😁

[@DeirdreJ_AutomationArchitect]

This is terrific. I recently found a few of these from my scrapbooking days and was looking for some ways to use them. So much fun. Thank you.

[@LindaONeill]

Super cute. Definitely another thing on my list of yours that I need to try to make as these are pretty simple but so cute and now I want to go out to the thrift stores and find old photo albums

[@TreasureBooks]

Photo albums are so full of potential and cheap as a lot of people have given up on developing photos, so there are a lot in the thrift stores :)

[@daricet.2958]

Thank you for sharing these great ideas...loved all of them! A nice thing about these photo books is you can find them everywhere🙂

TFS some great useable ideas for these kinds of pages. I use mine for flowers I've dried. I think I can incorporate some of your ideas into using them with the flower in my journals.

[@vickyjohnson8160]

You are amazingly talented!You have so many wonderful ideas.I don't know if ill be able to do it but I would like to make a journal for each person in my family.I could could put in pockets that they did as a child on up to adulthood ,pictures,tickets for movies ,shows their favorite recipes just all kinds of things.Then they would have a journal of their lives and some they can keep when I'm gone. Thank you so much for all of your ideas.

[@TreasureBooks]
