Each journal was a gem and I loved seeing actual writing and photos in them. Great to be reminded that they're to be used!

That was really interesting and thank you for showing your various journals. I'm a 73 year old crafter and I've been enjoying learning papercrafting for a few years... I just started making my own journals (not junk) a year or so ago. I have made a variety of journals in several styles, including one that's a pretty thick folio. I thought I'd leave a few words regarding the history of junk journals for anyone who might be interested... There is no actual "date" or proper written history of junk journals, but there are mentions of what was being done that have helped to piece it together a bit. As I understand it, "junk journals" made with bits of this and that garbage, began after 2008, during the recession of that time, as a sort of protest to the increasingly expensive pre-made scrapbooking materials. You see, scrapbooking is the real beginning of junk journals. And that has been around since before the 1800s when people would tuck keepsakes into their bibles to save them. Eventually blank-paged books became available and were called scrapbooks. The Victorians loved to keep the beautiful calling cards, greeting cards, letterheads, and envelopes that they received... and their scrapbooks were filled with them. Scrapbooking wasn't popular for a lot of years, but became very popular as a crafting type in the mid-1990s and people were spending more and more on their hobby. In 2004, in the US, the scrapbooking industry reached its peak at $2.4 Billion. But in 2008, there was a crash in the economy of many countries. In order to continue with their favourite hobby, people had to resort to other things... and junk journals arrived on the scene. As a child, we had scrapbooks in school to save various "good marks" and art works from the year. We were given a scrapbook at the beginning of the year and when there was something the teacher thought should be kept, our scrapbooks were handed to us to glue the 'whatever' in. Those scrapbooks were large, skinny, books (I'd say 12"x18"x perhaps 1/2" thick) with beige, newsprint type paper and we used good ol' Elmer's glue to paste things into them. I haven't seen scrapbooks like that for many years.

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

Thank you so much for the information! My mother kept a scrapbook for me all my life. It starts with cards given to her when I was born (I'm 65 so those are very vintage) and it lasted until I graduated high school. I still love to look at it every now and then. My grandson who is 15 was surprised that they had color photos back then... lol, but I do have some very old portraits that my mother colored by hand. I was very much into scrapbooking in the 90s... good memories.

[@lorettamaloney6287]

Wow … you have such beautiful collections of journals!! Who said a junk journal has to be something one can write on?? The small journals about the pig, rabbit are just adorable and gives me an idea of what I can do as I get immersed further into the “Junk Journal World”.😂😂. There’s no going back … I’m addicted!!😮😮😮😮 Thank you for your inspiring video Tina!❤❤❤❤

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

So glad that you like it!

[@southernbiscuits1275]

You do beautiful work! I don't "junk journal" but I use the same techniques in making story books. A story book is a book in which there is a story (duh) and the story has graphics to support it. The first story book I created was a diary of a young girl graduating from high school in 1918. She narrated events in her life from the graduation until Armistice of 1918. She wrote of friends, potential boyfriends, how World War I impacted her life and the lives of the people in her town as well as the Spanish flu. It was my first real attempt at making what my interpretation of a junk journal was. Of all the books that have followed, the 1918 diary is my favorite. I just got through working on a book about a young man who was born in the tenements of New York City at the turn of the last century. It was the most story intensive of anything I've created so far. Looking at the journals you have created, I am envious of your gift for interesting and unique design. You craft each page as an individual entity rather than a mass making project. And, in the books you flipped through, I could tell you give thought to being unique rather than learning a system and creating according to it without veering from the system. Keep up the great work!!

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

I would love to see an example of one of your story books. I've never heard of that before... but I'm intrigued. :)

[@kellyhards8828]

YES! Would love to see the folded paper! New sub 😀

[@kathylupfernielsen265]

I have a journal that I made for my mother...and she passed in February. So now I put items, pictures, writing in it that reminds me of her.

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

That's a wonderful memory journal idea. I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a mother is hard.

[@mothbythesea]

I love the ones like your little cotton tail one, that arent meant to be written in, but almost like curated interactive treasure picture books for grown ups (and kids too). But its a tactile and visual book of pleasures for our hearts.

I love those also 😊

[@karenferguson7662]

Thank you for sharing your ideas about junk journals..I see lots of videos on how to make one, but not that many on what to actually do with one. And thank you for doing the folded page video too.🌹💐🌸

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

You are so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful!

[@sararedgt]

I'm glad you said the word "collage" Ive been intrigued by junk journaling. I keep hearing that "there are no rules" and that hasn't helped. My brain needs some kind of purpose or I'll be too lost to start something. If im told that it's a collage to help me express my creativity, then i "get it" and can start But then i get intimidated by secret, fancy terns like "signatures"

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

Signatures are just groups of pages. I know that it can be confusing, but hang in there!

[@crapemyrtlejournals]

Thank you for all the glimpses into the journals! I have an altered book for card ideas. That was my first foray into junk journals. I have a journal I made and cataloged my last year in a foreign country. I also have a granddaughter journal (she's 2) that I add to as I spend time w/her or write a memory or a prayer for her. I want to make one like you described for "working in" rather than a theme or mission to get it done in a set time frame. I like Luisa and Barbara, too.

[@nilenelee1880]

What a fun video! Love your journals. I have also done several small “ gratitude journals”; a “journal of favorites” (fav. Books, poems, songs, sights, gifts, vacations); and a “ journal of memories”.

Those are wonderful ideas for journals!

[@sandyhearn8332]

I have been scrapbooking for over 20 years, I have done over 100 books, plus over 20 for my brother. Because I am recording our lives in rhe scrapbooks, I dont feel any need to journal. The word journal really throws me off from junk journals, though I do watch lots of videos of junk journal makers, and they are beautiful. About 7 years ago, I got caught up with the scrapbooking and discovered glue books which have been a perfect fit for me. I have made over 40 gluebooks by filling up vintage scrapbooks, or binding my own 8.5x11 pages and Ihave recently started filling up composition books, they get so fat and chunky and so much fun.

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

I think "junk journal" are the new scrapbooks... lol, but I love gluebooks as well. There's just something about glueing things to paper that is calming for me.

Thank you for all the inspirational ideas. I have been paper crafting since ages (and have tons of supplies), but am new to the junk journal world. I really don't want to write personal things in my books, but like that one can use them to fill with "treasures" and make them to "play with". I made 2 junk journal books recently and cannot wait to work on them. One is with various pages from different sources and the other is with Christmas and winter themed pages from diffrent sources.

Loved the video! I have done little journals that document memories I have of a City where I lived for years... So, I actually wrote memories and comments and impressions of places at the time. I currently have a journal where I occasionally write about contemporary experiences, but it's original purpose was to be a repository for neat journal ideas and experimentation. My view of a junk journal is that it is yours to do whatever strikes your fancy! Add watercolor pages, reuse a cool collage for a card? Etc, etc 😂

I have Dephemember 22 junk journal but took until January to complete it because I was ill for few weeks. I planning to work on journal to document my travels abroad, art journal or make another using more collected modern ephemera. I do following Barbara and Luise they are great inspiration. Before I took junk journaling seriously I was doing Smash scrapbook style it's the same thing really. I love flipping through the old ones they bring such joy.

I think of junk journals mostly as art journals or art objects. Something that I think trips people up a lot in the definition is that junk can refer to the materials OR the aesthetic. Journal refers to documentation, which does not have to be done with the written word nor does it have to be about subject matter that is personal or even true.

I would tell you that yes, I would like to see a tutorial on how to make that fold, but you've already made such a vid. Thanks! 😺 so instead, I would tell you some other stuff. First: I love the idea of the pigs journal. It would make a wonderful plaything with your grandkids. And moreover: I work with developmentally challenged youth, and to make a little booklet like that, on whatever subject they choose, would not only be a very industrious project, that would keep them occupied for a whole semester, if not the whole year; but more importantly, would give them a lot of power: to choose the subject, to direct the planning, to gather the materials. thank you so much for sharing that! secondly, I love the idea of the cooking journal! it may not be what I'm looking for - I need a way to be able to link one recipe to more than one category, like they are organized on my computer - but will undoubtedly be fun to make. and it would undoubtedly be something my artistic daughters would jump at the idea to make together. thanks for this vid! is very instructive and also inspirational 🙏

New subscriber here. These are wonderful ideas for JJs. I would absolutely love a video on how you do that foldout page. I had thought of doing a cookbook/family recipe one. I have a lot of recipes in my mom's hand writing that I can use. Also some that I typed for her when I was in high school.

I just found and subscribed to your channel. I am so inspired. I plan on exploring it much more thoroughly later today. Hoping to find the tutorial you mentioned of the explosion page. If you haven't done it yet, may I add my name to the interested list. I love your themed ideas and have been collecting bunnies for a long time with the intention of making a journal of some type with them. I love the idea of not actually writing in it. Thank you so much for sharing all your ideas.💜

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

I'm not a journaler and have always had a bit of a problem with "junk journals" as everyone seems to emphasise books for writing stuff in! I found your video super-interesting and quite liberating as it has shown me that I am OK doing what I'm doing - mostly books with a theme, and as you said, just because you like it. I love the idea of you doing a book about pigs because you happen to like pigs!! Brilliant! I did separate books about my mum and dad after they died, and I am currently working on an Oriental-themed book. I've done teabag books, and most of all I like making books with interactive elements like pop-ups and other surprises. I have been collecting a lot of material for making junk journals which I haven't tried yet - I don't like the name as it sounds really off-putting, and I'm not a fan of the fashionable messy look - I prefer my books to be neater, but I'm all in favour of using recycled materials. Anyway your video was super-helpful and reassuring!!

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

If you like "pop-ups" do a KZbin search on "pop-up cards." Srushti Patil has some great tutorials on pop-ups!

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

@@ideas_n_embellishments Thanks Tina - I'll look her up. I've already found loads of different interactive and pop-up instructions bu she may have some I haven't yet come across! Edit - just found her channel and it's awesome - loads to explore there! Thank you for the recommendation!

I've made lots of journals, but I don't call them junk journals. Two were for December, but because my kitty won't settle down I couldn't decorate, so I've got to figure out something to do with them. I have a journal for the cats I've had. But I don't classify any of them as junk journals. Guess I just like the process of making them.

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

I love making them as well! I don't really classify mine as "junk journals" either, but that seems to be the most acceptable term these days. Thank you for watching!

[@kkacz7783]

Yes, I would love to learn the folding technique for the pop open page.
