Thank you again x
Collaging is really easy and great to use up scraps. It helps not to over think things and can be relaxing just to keep tearing and gluing paper. Love your videos!
I agree the mojo is freedom to see what becomes of it. I agree with your new creative method. Love all three.
I have done mixed media for almost a year now, and my base layer is always a collage of old book pages, music paper, images, etc. -- always!! The layering adds so much to a mixed media piece- bonding with the piece- getting out of my own head and world around me and ready to create something!!
Thank you sweet heart! xx
I was really struggling with my collage skills. Your video has been a great help - using a file card to get my feel and sense of the art. Thank you so much ❣️
Loved this, super, super helpful. Take away, don’t overthink, start with a small ‘canvas’, and just do it. Thank you so much. I hope your mojo returns soon.
So gald you enjoyed it hun x
Tracie Thank You for all you have shared with us All in all the videos! You are such a sweet person and very fun to watch and learn from!! A Big Thank You!
Thank you x
Glad you’re back. I obsess over laying things in the correct orientation. Defeats the purpose!
I agree with you 100% you need to make more videos because they are alway WONDERFUL! I check everyday to see if you have one. I enjoy everything you do. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. ❤️
Thank you xxx
Thank you so much for this!! Today, i was doing some pages for my journal, the first 2 were ok, the third one, well, i started thinking too much about it! I need to keep telling myself to relax, don’t think so much, just put something together and it will be good. ❤️🌹. Thanks for being real in your videos, i appreciate everything you do
Super helpful Tracie! So many times I begin to collage some tags, index cards, etc and get caught up trying to make them "finished" it really does take the carefree and spontaneous fun away from simply doing collage. Using papers that are already a collage design is a great idea! I purchased my first ever digi download from your shop last week and LOVE it. I will be back for more. i liked what another person shared, how she prints them, and adds them to a 3 ring binder. i am going to do that to keep them organized and ready to go. thanks for sharing, you inspired me a lot! sometimes these simple techniques can get over complicated, this is a great reminder! 💕👍😊
Thank you huni x
One of my all time fav things to do! It is relaxing and enjoyable when I am just not into doing a large project! Tfs❣️
Thank you for taking the time to show us all your ideas. After seeing your tea card collections, would love to see your stamp collections. 😊
Thank you, Tracie! I always overthink! Watching and listening as you did your collaging really helped!
Loved this video Tracie. Although I've only recently started journaling I'm loving it and collecting plenty scraps. What a great way to use some of them.
Of course you can create! Look at these beautiful cards and tag you collaged. Great tip on the scissor:)
Loved this, Tracie! I’m completely obsessed with collage at the moment! Want to use up my scraps and it’s just relaxing to do. Great advice in this video and your pieces turned out beautiful! Thanks for the mention, for sharing, and for being the fabulous Tracie Fox! Big hugs!1. ❤️
Me too Gayle! I’m obsessed with collage and collecting my bits for use, I found this video so helpful
Collage has always been one of my favorite art forms/techniques. It can be great therapy if you don’t think about it too much and just “let it happen” and have fun with it! I loved doing it with my students when I was teaching, as they could all feel successful.
Thank you for taking your time to collage and explain as you went. It helped me to not take it so seriously
I love the thought-thru and the spontaneous collages you made! I'm so happy to have a new video from you! I love them all! I just know you'll get your mojo back soon!
Kia ora Tracie, nice to see you & your video was yet again 'awesome' x
Thank you for this video, I hadn't been in my craft room for a couple months couldn't find my creativity, when I did go in I tried making a stacked tag and it just didn't work and left again. Now, this I believe I can do!
This makes so much sense. I tend to overthink no matter what project I’m working on. Thank you for the inspiration. xx Maggie
Hehehe Maggie, My inspiration is always don't think LOL. I only wish I could follow my own advise LOL xxx
I don't think you lost your mojo, not if you're creating your digitals still. Sometimes we just want to do what we want to do, and you have to get all those thoughts from your brain to paper (or computer), so it can become a reality. I've learned to just let myself go with the flow and don't try to force it. Your digital kits fabulous and take a lot of your creative mind.
Also, I have an Epson workforce and my scanner is 12"x17", and I love it!
Hang in there, Tracie!
Jessops clearly know nowt about printers!!! Too late for this time around, but thank you huni xx
Glad to have something good to watch instead of football. I loved your tutorial and loved how you spoke freely about losing your "mojo". I think talking about it to all us helps you. By the looks of todays tutorial you are getting it back and I love purchasing your downloads, have a whole notebook full of them. I print them first on plain copier paper and put in a notebook to go thru when I am ready to junk journal. Thank you!
Thats a cool idea! Thank you hunxx
Hi Cynthia, that's a great idea to print them on copy paper and store in a binder. I am going to do that! tfs 👍
Love these collages. You are always very helpful in your videos. I like the “don’t over think it”. Hope you do more videos. Miss watching you. Hugs! 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for leading me in the right direction, I have finally collaged something that doesn't look like a shop full of stuff on it
I understand you 🤣❣️
I love all of the tips and tricks that you shared in this video. I think I’ll do some collage tomorrow. Beautiful work. Thanks. 🤗🇨🇦🤗
Thanks for doing this! So nice to see you back. Look forward to seeing your hands more often ❤️💕❤️😘
Love how they turned out, hopefully you will find your mojo soon. I love Collage’s , it really does help get you creating without thinking too much. TFS 😊😘
I'm totally new to all of this and absolutely loved this video. Thank you for sharing. xx
Thank you Tracie, this is just what I needed to see today. Perfect timing :)
Love these, glad to see you again. Keep it going x
I’m going to make myself a note saying “collage = filling up a space”. Thank you so much. I love your videos.
I always LOVE your collages! I think what you said about "making mistakes" is what puts a kink in the creative flow. Not focusing on a final product or having to have it be something or be perfect is what helps the creative process--as you so beautifully illustrated!
Hey lovely...missed you xxx Thank you xxx
Thank you for sharing this. I love the simplicity of collage making thanks again..
I love collage - finally today I sat down to do some on book pages (after about 2months of no crafting) and found it difficult to get going...thank you for sharing this video, it has helped me a lot.
This is such a great informative video because it’s clear and straightforward. I’m one of the many crafters that really struggles with collaging so thank you very much indeed ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Tracie, that's me sorted for this evening, giving collage a go.
Helpful advice, Tracie! I do overthink it sometimes as well. Love collaging though. TFS the inspiration!
Tracie, super video thank you. This helped me to break through my collage phobia! (another over-thinker).
Collages are so much fun you are so right about not thinking about it too much, it just works. (Donna)
Lovely work Tracie, i don’t think you lost anything! 😍Would love to give your work a good home. ❤️🥰😘🇨🇦❤️
Thank you!!! I've been avoiding trying this but you have given me even more inspiration to bite the bullet!!!!
I think I need to shop in your store again in the morning. My mojo has ran away from me and I keep watching different kits of yours and I keep seeing more I really want. Hope your having a good weekend. Thanks for sharing all your incredible designs and ideas. Love you more
Huni, hope you mojo returns...maybe it is off with my internet connection somewhere! LOL xxxxxx
YASSSSS to me that is the easiest thing to do when learning to collage...DON’T THINK, JUST DO! I love your tutorials! Your collage is lovely! The other great part is using up scraps!
Such a helpful video....Thank you Tracie xxx
Tracie we all loose our mojo at one time or another. I love to collage it helps me to start a journal. I love love and enjoy your videos. Thank u for sharing
Thanks You Tracy, you help me make my very first collage !
I always wanted to make it perfect and I didn't know where to begin.
Now I do, I don't think and start laying down some items I just like and that works for me.
Thanks so much !
Greetings from the Netherlands 👋
I’ve really enjoyed watching you create. I’ve been avoiding this technique but I’m ready to give it a go. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you xx Good luck with yours xxx
Love this video....Awesome and I'm definitely inspired...you're just great!
Thank you for showing us your process for collaging. You have made it simple and easy to understand for this beginner. I have only just begun to collage. You are the first junk journal artist I started watching. You have inspired me to attempt making one. Thank you for introducing me to the other artists that you mention like Gayle and Nik. What a wonderful community.
Ah Katherine, you will have a lot of fun xxx
Hello. Welcome back. Nice collaging Tracey. xx
Yes I have to literally tell myself just do don't think because I tend to get in my head. I love love collage lately and simple things. I try to not have to much in front of me because then I overthink and possibly over stimulate! Thank you for this simple video! so happy to hear your voice! working along with you :)
Thanks CBF xx
I need to do this just create and let my mind go, yours look wonderful. I find it very hard to stop my mind from thinking but will deffo give it a go. Thank you for sharing this Tracie😀
Traci, I have been going through the same slump. I sometimes think it is just creative exhaustion after the holidays. I just start watching old videos that you and some other sweet ladies have posted and it starts my inspiration and creative juices flowing. Thank you for all your encouragement and inspiring videos.
Yes it is so true! xxx
Super video Tracie! Thank you!
Loved it.
Thanks for your ideas!!!
So happy to see a new video from you! Missed hearing your sweet voice saying hello hello... 😊
Oh my, these were really fabulous collages, think I love the tag one the most, but I love the ones you did before too... You're very talented girl!
The mojo is easily lost especially if someone is doing the same thing for a certain period of time or going through hard times, but when it's back is all good with fresh ideas!
I've lost mine from time to time in both my crafts and nail art... Especially since I lost my mom, who inspired me in everything as was extremely talented and creative. But then I get it back when I remember her advises and I'll share them with you too...
Don't fret and don't stress! Take a break, try something totally new, like a totally different theme or colours or style... play with your creativity and tease your mind, think positive, your mojo is not lost, is still there, its just hiding under other things so rest and most importantly have some "you" time and it will come back if it hasn't already...
Looking forward in seeing your next video, whenever you feel like making it... big hugs xxx
Thank you huni and sorry to hear your sad news. I hope you continue to create and be inspired by your mom. Doing something new is good advice! Thank you again xx
Fab fab fab, collage is my fav pass-time lol. TFS sweetie, toodles
ive missed you Tracie!!! you will get your mojo back. i think this video is perfect for people that are going through the same thing. you are amazing and you will create again i promise!
Thank you, I think I am getting there xx
Love this video...at this time there is so much happening, that my mojo went out the window! Thank you, going to do something simple today...to work on tomorrow! Btw, this video flew bye...it was over before I knew it, so may watch again now! 😁. Hugs, &Love~
Fun, found this very helpful Tracie, TFS.
Thank you for the info about the xcut scissors! Just ordered a pair on amazon! 💙
Hi Tracie. Thanks for sharing with us and being so open in your discussion. I too have lost my mojo but I think after watching you I'm going to go out, get the ink I need and then start collaging. It looks like your mojo was just resting and your video has motivated me to collage this afternoon. Thanks again.
Thank you x
I like this Tracie. I overthinking to much this is better. Thank you.
Thanks, Tracie ! I think I could go for doing some of these perhaps. So the answer is, just do it ! Thanks for sharing.
Yes...just do it LOL xxx
love this video, inspiring xx
That you so much for this tutorial it helped me very much. I was always starting with big pieces of paper, & was over thinking everything. Never inking the edges so that explains why they never looked right. So now I start with a index card & work from there first. Thanks for sharing
YAY, start small xx
This all sounds like very sound advice. I’m going to have a play with paper tomorrow then. 😁
I enjoy your videos so much. I could listen to you speak all day.
I am definitely going to try to do this next time i collage, i am always thinking about the project as a whole, tyfs xx
Hehehe Lorelle, it works! Well, It did for me xxx
Love you dear, thank you for the inspiration 💕💕💕💕
What a great video! Collaging always made me so nervous because I was worried about making a good composition to use for something else! It should be fun and easy! I hope you get your mojo back soon! 🥰
Yes..you are right. Don't think to much and glue that scrap paper what ever it's comes in row. It's relaxing and how you mentioned...when you loose your creativity just do some collage and listen some music along. You are so sweet and positive..don't worry you will do the same fantastic digitals. It's just a bad time for creative mind's.. sometime just switch the things what normally do...do something else and after a while come back and continue. Just struggling myself with this issue at the moment and just build my stash for the next projects. Already I bought a bunch of digitals..yours and several others and cut them and store them waiting the right moment to do something with them. For the moment I don't make videos but I will do a short one just for the Facebook group maibe I motivate myself to start again filming...hahah. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. So you see you are not alone in this journey. Hugs. Keep doing what you do..you doing well. See you on Facebook group.
Yaym look forward to seeing huni xx and thank you xx
love this tracy was so nice to watch, i did some glue books the other day and been ages since i picked the book up, and noticed how my style has changed so i just covered over pages i no longer liked and moved on, i love your videos no matter what you do, i said to Gayle its like having a friend in my home when i feel lonely, and i wouldnt judge them, the company is the best thing for me much love Jacqueline
Love Gayle!!! She is awesome right x
Thank you for this video. Very helpful! ❤
I was so thrilled to see that you posted a video-but I’m really disappointed my notification bell didn’t work.😩 This was really helpful for me because I never feel my collages have the look of those of you I follow on CZcams. Yes, I know you’re not supposed to compare yourself to others, but I think we all do it!! Glad to see you 😘
I just found your channel and subscribed. I'm beginning to try my hand at junk journaling and this will be a big help. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a wonderful day.
Welcome to my channel :-D xx
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful!!
Love your videos! Been missing you!
Great video Tracie thanks for sharing hugs Tracy
Hi Tracie. I hope you find your mojo. It's really frustrating when it decides to go on holiday. I only had a short amount of time before work the other day and really wanted to get something done, so did an A4 page of collage. As I didn't have time to think about it too much it worked really well and now I have some awesome tag bases.
That's cheap for your printing. I love my printer, but I seem to get through the ink really quickly.
Video was absolutely fine and you did explain yourself clearly 😊 xx
Thank you so very much for your videos! They are so very inspiring!❤️
Thank you xxx
Thank you from South Africa 🇿🇦 beautiful images
Hi Tracie, this was a great video. I recently got into collaging and I use it to create A4 collages on copy paper. I then scan it so I have a copy I can play with on my PC - you don't need a graphics program, even in Word you can change the colours and apply various artistic filters to get different effects. Then I print them out so I have my own custom paper. Sometimes I use that paper in another collage. So collage might eat itself...☺
Very nicely done!
You are not only informative, but inspiring. I want to go and make some collage pieces. TFS
Thank you xxx
Loved the video. Thank you.
I like your method thank you for sharing
Theola
Awesome!
I’m rewatching for the second time and was happy to notice that you use the UHU glue stick and art glitter glue to stick down your images! I was thinking I must be crazy as I’m always using the 2 glues as the UHU glue stick seems to come up on the edges no matter how much i slather on! Great video! ❤️
Very helpful! Thanks!
Hi, thank you for sharing this. I love the look of collaging but I always over think and it never looks very good when I try to do it. This has helped me so much. Also, I know how you feel at the moment, I've lost my mojo too. I've got a couple of health conditions and at the moment they are causing some complications and I think this us why I don't feel crafty. I'm going to have a go at this and fingers crossed I start to get my mojo back. Best wishes, Rae xx
Great tutorial as usual Tracie xo :D
Tracie I don’t know 🤷♂️ about losing your mojo...... I really love 💕 those collaged things you’ve just made. And you’re fantastic at making you’re digitals, so some mojo must be around. We’ve all got so much faith in you, I’m sure you’re be back on par in no time. Love and light 💡 my friend xxx Mags
Thanks Mags, xxxxx
Thanks for the info on the scissors. I am in need of new scissors 😊
Thank you so very much. This was absolutely fabulous! It was practical as well as therapeutic. I over think things absolutely to death. Youmaremsuchna great teacher.🦋
Thanks huni xx
Great advise, Tracie. I find collageing difficult for that reason - over thinking. Planning too much. TFS
Ah glad you have found collaging has got you back creating again.... You get so busy before Christmas that in January you just go.... Blahhhh..... I'm loving collaging right now too.... Xx😘😘
This was very helpful thank you!
