Oh. Ok. I'll go back to my room then. And by room, I mean craft room. So I can make MORE STUFF and SHARE with you.
And you won't know about it if you didn't do the totally optional things mentioned above :)
Have a fabulous day!!
And thank you for reading :) And watching. And liking and subsc....... OK I"ll stop now. - Jak na to + styl
I was so happy to hear you say you did absolutely no housework while you were creating!!! At last, someone else who would prefer to play in the craft room! I'm sure my friends think I'm mad making "things" that don't actually have any useful purpose, but it gives me so much pleasure. Thanks for your wonderful videos, I find them so easy to follow.🙂🙂
You have really been busy! Lovely! Thanks for sharing your talent!♥️🍀
How could anyone watch that video and not be inspired? Your creative energy was coming through!
So much more!!!!
Thank you so much!!!
Not a hoarder, an ARTIST!!!!!!❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
I read once that more craft supplies do not make you more creative. I don't believe that, and none of us need those negative words!!!
This had to be my most favorite episode! I am extremely guilty of loving the hunt of ephemera and discarded craft supplies at yard sales, estate sales, thrift stores etc. I love that you don't use printable ephemera! That is my goal! Then your creation is truly original! You must be exhausted since the explosion! Lol! Rest up, we need you back next week, Natasha!
"What is it? It's a thing!" ;-) So inspiring! And timely too: I was looking for something that would cheer me up and I saw your video. Thank you so much, I am ready to face the world again.
Loved that!! "It's a thing"!
"I'm ready to face the world again" This is something I SO can relate to.
A thing, yes! I make stuff because it brings me joy, and this was so validating.
@@iamdawt I think we need to have that mindset more often when creating, at least I know I do. Not everything we make has to have a name like a “tag” or a “pocket.” And not everything has to serve a function or purpose. We create because we love what we do, it brings us joy & happiness, so why is so hard for us to just create something that serves the purpose of just “being”? Just being because it brings joy or creating something because it’s pretty to look at or it’s shiny and makes us smile. Lol.
@@LidaJoy Well said. It is simply all art!
You are an inspiration! Yes please on the tutorial on your first journal, it's adorable, everything is adorable! I gotta clean and create! You're adorable you're not mad! Love it all!
Yes, a tutorial on your vinyl journal, please. 😊
OMG!!! Watching this video, I felt like a puppy let loose in a room full of treats! I am beyond inspired. I love the double envelope pages, the laminated pages and tags, and all of it. Your enthusiasm is contagious! And yes, housework must wait when the creative muse strikes! Thank you again!
I love your personality, journaling layouts, your instructions and this here is indeed a beautiful treasure explosion, Love it! Continue to inspire for you are an inspiration to us all :) ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ blessings:).
You’re not a hoarder if it leaves your house to live someplace else!!! You are a “resourceful” person who gathers materials needed to make BEAUTIFUL hand-made creations to bring joy to those who will receive them!
Thank you for the inspirations! 💝🧵💝✂️💝
Natasha you speak to me. I don’t use digitals either. I don’t have a printer and to get the digitals printed at a shop is not cost effective. You were my first journaling channel and I started journal making because of you. You made me look at objects in a whole new way. I think you’re the only journal maker that really uses “junk” to make junk journals. Love your channel. ❤
Amen to that.
Adding my amen to this! You are by far my favorite inspiration! I have expanded so much watching your videos. I went on a cruise and took a bag of ephemeral tools and such and had a good time in the mornings having coffee and making things out of sales brochures and napkins and paper I found around the ship including bingo pages and things! Thank you Natasha for all your hard work and inspirations!!! Smiles ❤
What a wonderful thing to do on holiday. I'll have to try that too
Love love love everything you made! Finally an artist who doesn’t use digitals. An inspiration for sure.
"Nothing spectacular"? Darling, this statement of yours tells more about you than anything else. These ARE spectacular! To think you took scraps that anyone outside the junk journaling world would have sent to the landfill and made this explosion of beauty is just amazing. You have given me so many ideas. I don't think the Muse visited you - I think you ARE the Muse!
You’re a creative genius. I love how you explain and demonstrate your process. You’re brave enough to show your vulnerability and it’s what keeps us all coming back for more. I look forward to your inspirational videos.
Your “crazy madness” is our inspiration! Thank you! Love it!!
Wow, thank you!
I am definitely in the "collecting stuff" phase. I have a difficult time saying no to a beautiful gardening book, or especially vintage readers digest. Thanks for the inspiration today 🙏
Thank you ,thank you for not throwing all those parts and pieces away. You created with what you have and made the most beautiful one of a kind pieces. I am inspired!
Thank you! 😊
Yes, would love a tutorial on that cool looking journal and I love that washi tape!!
Junk Journaling is new to me and YES I find myself constantly on the supply hunt, I have yet to MAKE anything. Your creative explosion has given me inspiration to put the thoughts I had while procuring to life!
Your excitement is contagious, I absolutely adore your creations, every little piece is special because it wose made with love and by having fun. This is the best therapy, having fun creating something special and unique. You are a never-ending fountain of inspiration, you are one of my favorite junk journaler. I would love to see a tutorial on how you have created that journal, it is absolutely adorable 😍. Hugs and kisses from a Rumanien that lives in Germany.
Yes would love a tutorial on that journal it’s so cute
So many fabulous ideas! I'm truly inspired! I really loved the old comic book papers, the whimsical houses, the vinyl journal (please do a tutorial), and the writing boards. This makes me want to clean my craft room, which looks like I'm a hoarder! 😜 I am also pleased to know someone else doesn't do housework when they're crafting...LOL
Totally would love a tutorial of one of the first journals you ever made!!😍
Coming soon! Thank you
"...this is... a... thing! I made a thing." I make "things" all the time and often find myself wishing I'd made more of them. Aren't JJ'ers a funny breed? Love you sweetheart, MK ❤️🤗🏜🤗❤️
I watched to the end - yes, I'm inspired - fyi, my motto is: God did not put us here to do housework. I'm on vacation away from my studio. But when i get back home I'm going to rewatch this video and make some stuff - because I am not a hoarder - I know where everything is - and It's all organized! thank you for another fab video! p.s. and read your book that came the day before I left on vacation!
You have me pegged for the WHOLE Junk journal journey!
My daughter gave me a junk journal kit 2 years ago. I have binged watched your tutorials and have gone CrAzY hitting thrift shops. I have always loved to find treasures before, but I see things in a whole new way! I see ALL these cool things and nab them up! Now I'm in the process of being overwhelmed and trying to come up with ways to organize them, so I can find what I'm looking for!
Plus like you, I get completely engrossed in projects, everything else goes to pot!
Thanks for all you share and encouraging us to use what we have.
I can't say I have a favorite, because it seems there is a purpose for all your items that will come around on a certain project.
Thanks for the joy of crafting you bring into my life.
i agree with you ,i to see things in a different way since i started making journals, i to have spent a lot of time trying to organize what i have so that i can find it when i need it, i do believe that its going to be an on going thing ,i found junk journaling a year after losing my husband to cancer, and i have found such joy in the process,it helped me find peace and joy,Carla from arizona
Just love how you use everything you have and make it beautiful. You inspire me to think out of the box. You have a gifted imagination and your creativity has no limits. Love your commentary (you are fun and enjoyable to listen to) and seeing your explosion. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice weekend.
Even if it's "trash" (bits 'n pieces), when you're done, it is all treasure! Just amazing creativity. Wow. A veritable Treasure Trove of goodies.
Natasa, you blew my mind last week, this week I’m speechless. I have never seen such a mind bending array of junk journal beauty and purpose all packed into one video. Yes, you are a huge inspiration. Housework totally goes out the window when I'm creating so definitely with you on that! I've spent 10 months 'collecting' supplies, I absolutely LOVE the hunt! Now it's time to make, make, make! It would be great to see you recreate your first journal:) You are such an amazing artist!!! Thank you! 😘
Hello Natasa 😊 Of course I watched to the end, I always do. You’ve created so many wonderful projects, truly inspiring ⭐️ and yes please, do make a tutorial of the journal.
As always you inspire us to create. Thank you Natasha.
Very inspiring - I have lots of ideas jumping around in my head! But oh the housework! 🤣
Your MADNESS!!!!!! is just awesome! The ending was just perfect, and YES!!!! I always get creativity and a huge smile when I watch you! You are just adorable! Thanks for sharing all your fun and you have a happy day!
WOW! Natasa, you are amazing! You are so very creative, you blow my mind. 🤯
Yes, I think I am still in that stage where I am gathering materials more than I actually create. It is irresistible, it seems. Wish I had your energy and focus. Do you have a secret? You are always very inspiring. Just love you! 💖
Archie & Jughead comic books! I used to get them in the 60's. Really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for all your inspiring and time consuming videos.♥
Yes please!! Tutorial on the little journal from 8 years ago!! Thank you for the great inspiration!
Natasha….you have changed my life! Your ideas and inspiring attitude are a pure joy!
I would love a tutorial on the flower vinyl journal!!! Please
Love your ideas as always, plus love the magazine with the little images, how handy.
Your little journals could be an elaborate birthday card etc.
How nice!
Please please please do a tutorial on that little wrap around journal. So lovely!! These are all such beautiful and creative ideas. Thank you so much for sharing. I love your humor, and find you to be somewhat refreshing. Please don’t ever change. ♥️
Wow! So amazing! You’re so funny. Some really great pieces here! Please do a tutorial of the journal you made 8 years ago. Looks awesome.
I would love to just explore your crafting space. So inspiring. I would love a tutorial on that older journal too! ❤️
Ive been working on similar projects this weekend. Great video Natasha. I love making ‘things’ honestly sometimes it really is the process of making the thing that has literally no use to anyone that’s the point and then sometimes I throw it in a box and it stays there until I declutter again then I might add to it. Make something else with it. The clutter just becomes stuck to each other lol until it’s sold or gifted 😂 love your videos I hope you’re having a happy weekend ❤
I am not a journal maker or scrapbooker, but I make various greeting cards. So many of your ideas I couldn’t wait to try because I have a lot of things that are laying around and waiting to be used. I am so inspired and I thank you!
I dont believe i have a crafty bone in my body. This video looks like a great starting point for me. I desparately need a distraction from all the scary and heartbreaking things that are going on in our world today. I feel a bit more at peace just finding your video today. Thank you Natasha. I am excited to get started. 🥰
Your channel is one of my favorites!
I agree 100% with all you said throughout the video. I can truly relate to your comments 💜 you’re a truly remarkable maker! Always with fresh new ideas and comments. ☺️ always look forward to them cause you always inspire me. 🌹
I’m addicted to making these little houses, my fave
Thank you for all of your inspiration, Natasha! I love your ideas & your philosophy! ‘Just stop, create & use what you have already!’ We all have everything we need to create! ❤️
100% not a hoarder an absolute treasure is what you are. I absolutely watched to the very end and am going to go home and create :)
I neglect my housework too. I just can't get motivated to do housework when I'm feeling sooooo creative with a million ideas in my head. I'm so glad I'm not alone 😊😊😊. ❤❤❤the video, great stuff 👍👍👍.
You are such an inspiration to everyone! I watched to the end and I’m very inspired by this. I haven’t found anyone that is using any cereal box bags to create or use when junk journaling. I’m sure there are a lot of creators out there that are awesome and I respect that I just haven’t found anyone that I can sit and watch and feel inspired like I feel when I watch you!! I absolutely love you and I’m so inspired by you, you make everything look so beautiful and so expensive but yet it’s explained so well and easy to make. Thank you so much for still creating beautiful things and sharing them with the world!!!
This video should be a requirement to watch by anyone beginning or even thinking of beginning the craft of junk journals or any paper crafts. Also anyone from beginner to advanced. Very creative and inspirational as are all of your videos. Love your narratives as you show your handiwork. You are definitely a PRO!
Very inspiring!!! And so true - accumulation instead of creating/
I can lose myself! Your video on making a journal out of a business junk mail envelope started me. I get such joy out of making these journals & giving them away. So true about keeping EVERY scrap/ but so much creative potential. Love this particular video because you are encouraging me to use my stuff up!! Thank you so much!!!❤
You struck a chord with what you said about how you bought things in the early days of your crafting. Even though I've been crafting for a number of years I still love browsing second hand shops for books... collecting is almost as much fun as using the books! I just need to focus on using them! Lots of ideas, as always... thank you!
I was in a bit of a slump the last week or so. Then your video came out today. Wow! So many projects, I am overwhelmed by your creativity! I have been inspired once again by you. Thank you! Oh, and I'd love to see a tutorial on your journal from many years ago. It's gorgeous 😍 ❤️ 💕 💖
NOT A HORDER, TIS ART SUPPLIES !! Creativity and talent require many different bits !! That's what I tell my husband !! Lol I have a lovely craft room, but anyone else would be lost in here !! I'm ALWAYS soooo inspired by every video !! My housework is slacking as well and only have a dog !! Thanx a million again !! We are blessed to have such a great artist to follow 🎉❤
So many good ideas!!! I loved it!
Yay! Thank you!
This was a fun video, I loved seeing all the things you have made and I have seen your tutorials on lots of them. I needed this video, I am getting ready to mass make 6 journals and this is full of inspiration to get me busy. I understand how hard it is to cut into a book, but if you don't at some point it will dry rot and get thrown into the trash by someone else. Thank you for sharing.
No you are recycling and creating beautiful art work. I so appreciate you with all the fabulous ideas and it is inspiring and entertaining. Love you bunches.!!!!
Oh yes I would love a tutorial... I love watching your tutorials . They are so fabulous and I always end up making what you teach us.. thank you for your time and inspiration..
Natasha, I love this video. I will watch it again and again because you did inspire me, but I don't know what I want to work on first! LOL Love your videos and you are not a hoarder!!!! We repurpose things, we don't just hoard them up to stack up all around us. We are interactive with our supplies and gift them, sell them, and love them.
This is a fantastic and inspiring video! I could learn from tutorials on anything but that little old black journal would be really fun. Yes I stayed until the end - I watched it twice! Thank you Natasa!
I've watched this video 3 times because I love all the little bits you've created. I would love to have a collection of ready made bits like this, so I'm going to watch it again and again until I decide which ones to replicate first.
I love your style, I love your tutorials and most of all I love your humour. Sending love from New Zealand your way. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
You inspire everytime I watch one of your videos. I find a piece of fabric and then see a little off cut of lace and next thing you know, the sewing machine is happily helping make a fabric cluster.
I bet you have no idea how many people you have inspired and brought a smile to their face! You are amazing and we thank you for what you do and who you are!!❤
You are not a hoarder. A hoarder doesn't share. Thank you for your creative ideas!
A crafting cavalcade! So many wonderful ideas! Thank you for all your creative inspiration!!
Love all you projects and videos. It's 3am I can't stop watching lol
Repurposing things is soo fun
I don’t see you as a hoarder at all
Your videos greatly inspire me
Natasa, you are not a hoarder, you are an investor! And so am I! The neighborhood chairman asked me to make a collection box for a food drive. “Do you have a box,” he asked? I laughed and laughed!
We inherited a wrappings box from my husbands mother, paper, ribbons, twine, etc. We have kept up with the box for 38 years. I knew all these scrap stuff & paraphernalia had a purpose. I think my daughter in law will take over the tradition. She seems enthusiastic about journaling. Thank you for sharing your gift!
Love to see all the craziness becoming something, useful/not very /not at all😁 but beautiful 🌸and with not any other purpose but to inspire your imagination and inspire others too ,🥰Never ends, and this and this 😂😇 so sweet . I recently made that organizer made of a big paper bag for my hubby as a present 🎁 For him to store all of our valentines cards and messages through the years , also added some post notes and note pads and embellish it in the front with pieces of his favorite canned drinks and teas .I enjoyed making it and he as well using it . Thanks for helping us get inspired . Blessings 😊
Yes pleaase - I would love to see a tutorial on your vinyle journal - the one with the painted flowers on. I also stand in solidarity with you on the decluttering - I know that I have a lot of stuff - so much that I forget what I have sometimes, but going through it with a view to use it or lose it sparks ideas, in the end I think it's great that you used the things, it just as good a buzz as decluttering because you are transforming them into something artful and useful.
Natasha, you tickle me! Along with inspiration, I get joy out of watching your videos. Thank you. God bless.
Thank you!!!
I’m definitely in the gather, collect, buy stage. Thank you so much for your creativity. You are such a wonderful teacher.
"I don't know, what is this? It's a thing!" You are my favorite CZcamsr because you're just so happy with whatever you do. It's infectious. Thank you for sharing your passion with us.
Thank you so much for watching :)
It's so true about the buying stuff for crafting. You see the potential in EVERYTHING. But it get to the point where the stuff starts to stress us out. I still go thrifting but it has to be amazing, or a "too good to be true" bargain for me to buy it. Natasha, what a bounty you have created! I'm going to do a bunch of the predecorated book pages. That's a fantastic idea.
Ha!! “Josie and the Pussycats” I loved that cartoon when I was a child
Hi Natasa:
Your creativity is off the charts! Love everything you made. Wish I had a creative vision like you. It’s impossible to save every video, so I forget what things I can make. But you are truly inspiring and generous with your time. Going to my craft room as soon as I’m done typing this. You had some really great ideas I’d like to try before I forget. *** I hope you will show us a video on how you did your first journal with the pen holder.*** Thank you for sharing your treasures. Really appreciate it. Stay well. 💜😎🇺🇸
Someone called me a hoarder as though it was a bad thing! Der - it's my craft stash!! Sometimes we just have to "collect" things to get to that point where it's just enough to inspire our creativity. I love all of the 'things' and pockets and tags that your stash has inspired you to create ✨️
All your videos are so inspiring but this one tops them all. I was actually sitting at the PC when the video started and got up to get my iPad so I could take pictures of the individual pieces as you showed them. I am new to this particular hobby and have purchased so much, but only have made a handful of things. It was so refreshing hearing you say you went through the same thing. Thank you for your candor and thank you for your wonderful videos. Now, I'd better start creating!
Yes! Collect, use half, go on to something new. Collect, use some, go to the next thing… After so many years of this I have more than I can ever use up! So I’ve started combining, what would you call them? No idea what. But my latest obsession is slow stitching. I can recreate sooo many of your great paper ideas in fabric and then of course mix fabric and paper!! And you can always make it into a book! A stitched, quilted, paper fabric metal beaded painted book with jewelry hanging from it! The madness is never ending! Thank goodness for fits of creative madness! It just feels so darn good! Loved your video!
I feel we have been in the same places creatively, I was a shopper and collector for so may years paper and products and thrift stores, especially lace and crochet for me and man do I love a great thrifted wedding gown to dismantle. None the less when the Pandemic hit as an older person I decided to just "hunker" down, become a recuse and play with my treasures which took up a considerable amount of my space. I too have the occasional Creativity Explosion, I could make 100's of journals and not run out of ephemera for the pages. I am so glad I have all my stash now.
I was surprised how many things of yours I have made! You taught me how to make journals and make them pretty. I thank you for the treasure trove of videos. Please don’t ever stop!
So many ideas thank you! I have so many bits and pieces scraps I don’t throw away! I need to use things up and stop storing! This has so inspired me to have a day or 2 just creating. My sewing machine hates me but I will talk nicely to it to see if it will help me lol😂 thanks again great tutorial saved for reference x
Ooooh, I totally loved this video!!! It was so mesmerizing as well as inspiring. However, I know I'm a hoarder who's one and only desire is to use all my things to create beautiful things. It's my main goal. YOU have helped me to keep focused with my eyes on the target ... From heart all the way to Australia, thank you!!!❤
Glad you had a creative spurt, we can all benefit. I laughed when you said you used scraps from seven years ago because I just used something from 45 years ago! (Gloria)
“It’s a thing!” And I’m damn dead and done 😂😂😂 absolute best ever 😂😂❤️
MUCH more important than housework! Making 'things' is an excellent way to spend time! Love your 'explosion' - very inspiring!
Greetings from Denmark. You certainly inspire. My problem with crafting is that I start pulling out a lot of stuff with a specific plan to create one thing, and I soon find myself creating something totally different. Before I know it, I am working on 7 different items exhausting my mind and motivation and making a mess that will take me hours to tidy up. I do however love the process of creating junk journals. I just have to try to restrict myself to "just one project at a time" 😀
You are fantastic in recycling, re purposing, giving old stuff new life ………. I can go on and on so NO you are NOT a hoarder . Thank you so much this is definitely my go to video from now on. 🥰
"it is a thing!" 😊😊 I love how you don't worry about what use you could get out of the things you create!
That is probably why you create such beautiful "things"! 🌼🌼🏵️🌼🏵️
Inspired... Inspired.. The perfect timing since I am rearranging and de cluttering before winter rolls in. How can I not be inspired with this EXPLOSION OF CREATIVITY!
I always look forward to your videos every Saturday. Your work is so creative and makes my creative juices flow in a very good way.
Thank you!!!
LOVE your videos, Natasha! Your creative explosion looks like days of work but it is all so cool, beautiful, and does or doesn’t have a purpose! I was thinking about how much fun it is to just create and then I found YOU! You are wonderful and I love your passion! Keep creating! You provide a wealth of inspiration! Thank you!!! Much love, Julia ❤😊❤
I went on that "materials hunt" in the beginning. Now, I'm creating books and other paper crafts for no reason. I have withdrawals if I don't make or try to make something.
Your video was great inspiration! Thank you!❤
Not Joe, but Mary - thank you, thank you, thank you, Natasha, for using your own marvelous creativity, rather than purchasing the digitals, albeit beautiful, designed by other artists. The challenge to my creativity keeps me growing and I thank you for that.
Mission accomplished, Natasha. So many creative "things". I will have to watch this video a number of times to nail down all the ideas you have given me. Thank you for this and for all the other times you have inspired me. 🇨🇦
Aren’t all crafter’s glorious hoarders lol. We’re obsessed ❤
I just found this video but if you still see comments this much later, know that your creative explosion was totally inspiring!!! An amazing number of ideas and pretty "things"!! Makes me want to start collecting all the magazines, books, trims, papers, etc. to build a stash of items to start creating!!! I'm sure I have things around the house already and need to go on a treasure hunt here first. Thank you so much for sharing!!! 💕
Haha! No housework while making the video! Great ideas! Thank you!
Oh my goodness!! I am in inspiration overload!! You are incredible, Natasha. Thanks for sharing all of these ideas. It will definitely require watching again.😅❤
"Are you going to hang it on your wall and caress it everyday?" 😂 loved every bit of this video!
