My name is Toni, I have been paper crafting literally as long as I can remember. Paper crafts have a unique way of touching people. I have been amazed by how many people have saved, displayed or reminisced about the hand made cards and gifts I have given them, sometimes decades later!
I have met so many wonderful women who share my love of all things paper. In a day and age of digital communication, I find so many people are returning to the tangible art of paper communication. Maybe it’s putting a pen to paper for planning, finding an outlet for their creativity through journalling, or memory keeping in a scrapbook. Regardless of the media, there is a beautiful community of artists I am proud to be a part of.

TUTORIAL! Which is your favourite? Daphne’s Diary, Vintage or Scrapbook Paper JUNK JOURNAL TAGS
It is so gorgeous on you!!!! I'm 20 months into it and loving it. My partner kept me going when my hairdresser tried to talk me into dyeing again. So glad I persisted.
Very cute creations
So, as a scrapbooker, and a Creative Memories girl (at least to get your trimmer!), how do you feel about junk journals being a place where you scrapbook given not everything is photo safe? Right now, my big albums are on hold and I use my Canon Ivy to print phone pictures. Not great quality, but they are sticky and are perfect for junk/handmade journals for fun and you can take it with you to print while you are traveling.
I can’t say for sure! I have scrapbooked for decades and always used “photo safe” products from every company out there. But I’m starting to think about using my junk journals for scrapbooking too. I have done December Daily’s for 10 years and this year I’m going to test out making mine in a junk journal. But we won’t know the true results from f longevity for many years in the future! I use the Cannon Ivy too. Just got it 6 months ago. I love it, so far! I do a daily memory keeping with it!
I would love me a cute bracelet🤗
Great idea to use the stickers, and the snippets are lovely! Your creativity absolutely is amazing!
Awe, thanks Char! I appreciate your support! 🤗
Thanks for sharing, I like the colorful and vivid color palette🪻
Thanks for watching and entering the contest!
Ohhhhh my gosh I wasn’t to try this right away. 🎉 amazing. TFS ❤❤❤
I love your relaxing voice and way you work so beautifully ❤❤❤. And your ideas are amazing. Thank you for sharing this. Love it sooo much 🤗👊❤️❤️❤️
Wow, what a huge compliment, thank you! 🙏
I enjoyed your thoughts and perspective on this and it in a round about way helps me solidify what I may want to do. I've never made one and have wanted to for a LONG time. I have collected many things to put in one but never got going on one. I have felt overwhelmed and didn't really know where to start. I have a problem "overthinking" such things .I am excited to view some of your other videos that might help me take the crucial 1st steps. Any suggestions would be MOST appreciated! Thank you 💗💗
Hi Shelly! I made a video for exactly that! Where to start. Here it is. czcams.com/video/YwTzxo6VmzE/video.htmlsi=3omjdRTbPjIZ4kDL. I think you will be surprised how little you need to get started!
This is so beautiful, and thank you. This is my favorite magazine . I have saved some but haven't done anything else. I have to get the goodies to make it with 😮😮😮 May I ask if you did that with a pre-made book cover? Thank you ? Do you have a CZcams video on how to do it ?
First time viewer. Your caption had me at Daphne's Diary. This journal is gorgeous. I have 2 coveted copies, but this inspires me to use them. I absolutely love the music in the background. I get energy from the classics when I create. TFS ❤❤
Wonderful! Thank you for the feedback. And I’m the same, I cherish my magazines too!!!❤❤❤ Welcome!
I can see this is going to be gorgeous ❤
Thank you so much, I love it already!
Such a lovely chance. I love they way the bracelet looks
I LOVE this! I am a huge Daphne's Diary fan :)
Me too! I just got the 100th issue! ❤❤❤
Such so sweet of you for this opportunity thank you ❤
Entered!
The beginning stage of your journal is beautiful.
Thank you! It makes my heart happy ❤
These remind me of the childhood obsessions with crafting😊
I’ve been paper obsessed since childhood so that tracks! 🤣
It's going to be another beauty!!
Thank you! They’re like my kids…can’t pick a favourite, all amazing in their own way!
Lovely dainty pieces and the bracelet is adorable.
Thank you! 🤗
I always try to save the tags of my newly bought clothing to use them in my crafts. 🌷
Love that! Thanks for entering the contest Stacy!
Who would have thought that the sticky size label could be altered into a piece of ephemera? I like your finished projects
Awe…thanks, and thanks for entering!
One of the cutest things🎀
Thank you ❤
They are so darling!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for watching and entering the contest!
These are gorgeous! I loved watching the entire process. I have an entire box of scraps I need to use up. And several dozen of the scrap cabin seam bindings. Thank you for the inspiration!
Oh perfect! You have everything you need to get creating!! Thanks for the feedback back and forth entering the contest!
Snippets are awesome!! I love them ..hope to win!!
Thanks for entering! Stay tuned!
Adorable snippets.💖 Have a nice day
Thank you for entering! Have a nice day too!
The love heart bracelet is so unique 🩶
I agree! Thanks for entering the contest!
Such an awesome chance. Thanks sweetest. I love hearts and the bracelet looks super endearing. Love you❤
Good luck!! Thanks for entering 🥰
These snippets are so cute! I've just learned about snippets and I've been crafting for a very long time! LOL...I am fairly new to your channel and enjoy your videos.
I appreciate your feedback, thank you for entering the contest too! ❤
Oh my gosh. These snippets are so cute. So glad you could use the ephemera I gave you. They look so good. I am in love with your little fox doll ❤
I know those dolls are so cute, they all look adorable in my craft room! It’s hard to pick a favourite.
Such a cute idea. Love the houses! Do you have the measurements for the houses? So cute
I like the info and presentation, but please get a pin-on microphone to amplify your voice, and keep the sound levels consistent. Thanks!
Great feedback! Thank you. 🙏
how cool!! i recently got a fuse tool and im always loving new ideas on what to make with it. i have lots of happy planner sticker books and i think the quote box stickers would be perfect decorations for it! thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for this video, I really enjoyed it.❤ Happy greetings from Germany.
You are so welcome! Germany, wow! Amazing to know where you are watching from.
I love the seam binding you got. Such beautiful colours.
I know, I heard back from her, next time I’m going to be passing through I’m going to try to meet up with her.
So much easier to follow… you are a sweetheart to do it for us!! 😘
That’s great! ❤
Love this idea! I wanna see more! 😊🤗 Especially from the Daphne's Dairy! What do you think about the Flow Magazine?
I'll be happy to make more! I have a whole playlist of Daphne's Diary videos similar to this if you are interested. As for Flow, I can't get it here in Canada that I know of and when I looked it up they seem to be stepping away from an English version so I doubt it will be available in the future.
Such a wonderful idea. Sadly I can't watch the video, due to my illness, the fast movements give me a headache and make me feel sick. But the idea of using the diary is brilliant. ❤
Sorry to hear that, I can relate to your issue, I have a similar problem with motion sickness. I have re-edited it in a real time tutorial and just posted it to my channel, hope that one works better for you! I know others were also saying they would have liked a slower version as well. I appreciate the feedback!
I would also like a slower tutorial.....it is beautiful....you are so talented!!
Thank you!!I will slow down my future videos!!! 🥰 appreciate you taking the time to let me know!!
Several people asked for me to make slower videos, so I have re-edited it at a slower pace if you are interested! I did a voice over and It goes into more depth about the process as well.
I wish you would not have done it so fast. A lot of people are newbies like me. Are you going to do the rest of your shows like that?
Thank you for your feedback back Rita! I really appreciate hearing what you prefer!
Hi Rita, I have re-edited it at a slower pace if you are interested! I did a voice over and It goes into more depth about the process as well.
Love it ❤
Thanks! I had a lot of fun with this one! It’s a different version of the envelope I made for you!
Wow what a lovely handbag and the planner is wonderfull 😍🤩
So beautiful love it, hope you make more of this 😍
Thank you for your feedback! I really appreciate it! That is good motivation for me to make more! 🥰
This is fab! 🩶
Thank you Michelle!
This is lovely 🩶x
I appreciate your feedback! 🥰
Wow, this was inspiring to watch! Yes, please do more of these using scrap papers because I have boxes I'd like to empty. I'll start this tutorial first. ❤ Hugs from Villa Rica, GA. ☀ 🌴 🏖
Thank you 🙏 I have another scrap video you can watch here. Transforming an old envelope into a journal all with scraps. czcams.com/video/1PStwJ0_C5c/video.htmlsi=hQT-FR3kpXIuG_bN
This was such a fun video to watch! Everything is so pretty!
Thanks for the feedback! It took me a week to make this video, so I really appreciate you letting me know you found value in it! ❤❤❤
Everything turned out so beautiful. I haven't tried this technique yet, but I am going to try it now.
Thanks! I was the same way, I’m new to masterboards as well, they are so fun! And you likely have everything you need to get started!
So pretty. Loved the circles on the last one ❤
That’s funny I was wondering if the circles were a mistake, glad you liked them, my favourites are the ones with the fairy/flowers.
