"if something speaks to your soul, even if you don't know why, it's worth putting it in your journal. Everything that you like is worthy."
That was beautifully inspirational.
You just inspired me to rip pages from magazines in waiting rooms.
😅😆
Lol
😂😂😂😂
I will write this quote in my journal! very inspiring
Jas DD, можно просто делать фото журналов и не рвать их:)
I really like the 'junk' style of your journals.
We are precious in His sight. God sees this. Check out my art journal testimony czcams.com/video/aRTRGoqWXLc/video.html
Angz Hamz they’re just journals, you don’t need to make it religious
Simran Pandey but they can. :) It’s theirs, only the sky is limit to do what ever they feel like to.
Nope Nope yeah they can of course, but no need to bring it up when no one needs it
Heyyy!
Oh how I wish I had known about this when I was young. I think of all the many, many things I've forgotten because of bad memory. It would have been so fun to have a bunch of full journals to look at now. But you have inspired me to start now. My grandchildren are still young so perhaps I can still create a few journals with memories of me for them after I'm gone. Thanks so very much for this lovely, inspiring video!
Terry Owenby this is so sweet, yes! Journaling with your grandchildren sounds like such a beautiful and cute activity :)
It's never too late to start something new. 💕
begin now:)
I love this! ❤️❤️❤️
Same problem here, all my precious pictures are in boxes and sometimes its even hard to remember which one of my children is on the picture. :)
I always tell the children, do something with pictures , paintings and other things from the children. It is the only thing I regret now that it is somehow too late.
But I make a journal about me, my thoughts , old familypictures (there are not many) . And I do a journal about the things I do now with the grandchildren.
But yes, I should have done(known) it before..........
NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL CREATIVE you’re putting your mind and everything in your brain into something physical and it’s amazing, it’s art, it’s beautiful.
I can't wait for 100 years later and people will see your journal :) imagine that creative artwork!
Johanna, you have no idea of how much you have inspired me in the past few years. One of your videos is the reason I create journals today. Your style and creativity are so inspiring. Once again, beautiful video.
Sheila Y thank you so much Sheila! ♥️☺️
Agreed, Shiela
She Inspired me too
Never give up
Johanna - You are the first junk journalist I watched on CZcams. Not sure how I found you but I'm so glad that I did. You are such an inspiration! I was able to purchase one of your journals as a gift for my daughter's wedding. Now, a little piece of your creativity lives on the other side of the world filled with her wedding memories. Thank you for sharing.
So many wise words and actions from someone so young. Bravo Johanna, you are one of life’s shining stars.
LISA J MASCORD thank you so much!
Thank you so much for making this video. It's been saved in my "inspiration" playlist for a while now. Two Christmases ago you inspired me to hang on to a gift tag from my grandma, with her handwriting on it. That was actually the last Christmas we had together before she passed, so having that tag taped down is the most meaningful thing in my journal so far. I wouldn't have even thought about saving it if it wasn't for your videos.
I've been keeping all this different things for years, without knowing exactly what do with them, some strikes on photo albums, but the rest just in a box....and now I be discovered such a wonderful world(not coomon in my country O guess) and people like you so inspiring...THANK U♥️
This gift of yourself that u r sharing with us is helping me through my heroin addiction, repeated failures at managing my chronic pain legally, and my depression, anxiety, & the loss of my kitty. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. ART & PASSION=JOY & LIFE.
I pray you will overcome all the hard things in your life and that one day they will be nothing but bad memories. I pray God sends angels to help you along the way and that He sends strength to keep fighting and love and joy throughout the process. Big hug to you
Beautiful video.
All I could think about was that one day someone may find one of these journals and think: "Wow. I'm holding a person's whole world in my hands." 🌿
That's what got me started. A mixed media artist had just passed away and her journal was on view at a scrapbooking store selling her studio supplies. I'd never seen an AJ before. It changed my life!
Is true. God has blessed us with a way to be a blessing. BTW, check out my art journal testimony at czcams.com/video/aRTRGoqWXLc/video.html
I love the tea bag and pressed flowers idea. You've also given me ideas on what I can do with some of the things I've kept that are currently stored in boxes. I wish I'd seen this video a year ago then I may not have thrown some things away. I'm going to think twice now! Thanks for sharing.
Same here. I keep my souvenirs in a box. But now i am thinking of adding them in a journal.
The music, the flip throughs, your calm voice, the ideas... I LOVE this video. Thank you for your inspiration as always, Johanna! ❤️
When I stumble away from journaling, I can watch one of your videos/hear your calming voice and be recharged to create again. Thank you for that! Blessings to you and yours.
I really enjoyed this journey through your journals. Traditionally I have been a writing type of journal user. Then a while back I saw a written journal combined with doodling. I LOVED it. I see so many recycled journals that are lovely, but the applied use of them hadn't been as practical as what you have here. I knew I wouldnt make use of it in those ways, so I have limited my use of recycled art to making greeting cards. I really love your ideas! I feel like I have finally found a way to use art journals in a way that appeals to me in this video. I think I like it because it is journaling, smashbooking, scrapbooking and memoirs all rolled into one.Thank you so much for posting it! I will now go binge on the rest of your videos!!
this is so inspiring, I'm an avid art journaler myself! I kept laughing though cause I can picture mseylf be like," yeah I should put that in the journal, here, this left over chicken and pizza from last night, stick that in the journal, on look how sad, my kitten died! I'll put that in the journal too!* swish smack swash* trying to close the book*." and then before you know it "in the NEXT EPISODE OF HOARDERS!" * image of me on the screen with me fiercely defending myself," these are NOT JUNK they are my memories* you can't actually see me in the video you just hear a voice coming from the midst of STUFF EVERYWHERE I'm buried under...
Oh my God. On the one hand, I find it fascinating when journals look this messy because, you know, who cares. On the other hand, *I* actually do care and the perfectionist in me is screeaaaming lol
haha now I know I'm not the only one😅
I’m the 2nd one :>
This video has so much inspiration throughout whilst also providing little details of 'how to' add extra dimensions etc. Your journals are so filled with wonderful memories, words & so much more. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Wow, this is so beautiful. The way you perceive memories and day to day pieces of life brought me to tears. I’m about to be 35 and wishing I’d been doing this all along as opposed to just writing entries here and there, over time. Thank you for the lovely, inspiration💝
I have a special leaf I wanted to put into my journal and I found that laminating it worked a treat! Love your videos and this one is super helpful!!
Thank you for all the ideas. I love the way your journals look after adding your "life". It adds to the junk journal feel.
Love this so much! Love seeing your beautiful journals, how you use them, and most of all the journaling philosophy behind them. That speaks to me so much!
2:01 - Brilliant idea for items "floating around." I have a lot of those & never know what to do with them. Thank you!
This is one of my favourite journaling videos, I have ever watched. I think this was due to the fact that even though you have talked about lots of different ideas... it was presented in a simple way.
Love these journaling videos you've been doing, Johanna -- they're works of art in themselves (not to mention the beauty that is your journals). Thank you for taking the time to create these, they're moving and inspiring.
This is an amazing video. I make my own journals and at the beginning didn't really know how to use them. Then I started doing some of the things that you do. Adding the "stuff" of daily life and now my journal seems to be coming alive. You've given me some new ideas and inspired me to continue. Thank you.
Oh my gosh Johanna, you provided so many quote worthy sayings here. I am going to rewatch and write them all down--and put them in my journal! This is definitely published book worthy pictures and writing. Thank you!
This is inspirational. The best part is that you take bits from your every day life and record your journey. It's not like other journaling styles where the artist buys random thrift items of a shelf. You are recording your story with the tea tags you used or list made by your hand. This is beautifully done. Thank you
Johanna, thank you for sharing your heart.... I start and stop journaling because.... but now you have given me “new” ideas! Thank you
i really enjoy the calm atmosphere. most people on yt are so dramatic or just want to sell you stuff. I really like the music
Sheila said it perfectly. You really do inspire me. I have watched this video several times and still catch new things I missed before. Thank you so much !!!
Johanna your journals are works of art. Thank you for sharing your processes with us.
Thank you for putting this together! I’m making a first journal for my granddaughter, and this list will go into her journal to give her guidance. I know this will help her to enjoy her new journaling hobby.
Yes. I love journaling so much. You’ve inspired me to start making journaling videos again. It’s so therapeutic. Your journals are beautiful and come together really well.
I've kept journals since I was a teenager. It's such an important part of my life. Watching your video has given me great ideas on how to make my journals more beautiful and interesting. Thanks a lot! I love your work :-)
Often times I sit in front of blank pages because I can't think of anything new to put in my journal. But your video has inspired me to do more. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, ideas, and creativity. I'm actually anxious to tackle mine.
This is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen. Your voice is so calming and the light music in the background makes it so much better. The aesthetic is amazing.
This is a most inspiring video! Thank you so much for sharing it. I've been creating journals for two years, but this video is a quantum leap for me when it comes to being inspired! I've always done a single signature, but this encourages me to really try to create multiple signatures, so I need to check out your other videos for "know-how."
Watching again Johanna and wanted to add I love the quote about little people and big emotions and hadn't read or heard that before, so true
Yes....have made mine too for a long time So glad for the things I have kept. Treasures forever.....love yours too.
Thank you for this. I'm having a hard time to put in making my 1st journal and that's simply being yourself. Thank you for sharing this. It means a lot to me.
I started hand writing in my journals many years ago. After I got my first computer I entered everything into the
laptop. Now I am trying to catch up by entering all the many years hand written into the laptop. A big job
Seeing your handwritten journals with all the memorabilia inside I am drawn to want to do the same. You do beautiful work!
How fun to look through these facinating pages! What a great expression of your life!!😍
Someone in a group mentioned you as a FAVOURITE! And posted Q&A so I took time to watch and listen! Now I continue! I love how you bring the personal inspiration! I don’t think you worry if it’s chronological! Very nice!
Just revisited this video for some reminders on all the things my journals can be used for! Simple and helpful!
All I can say is you are so incredibly inspirational. Your heart goes into this beautiful way of preserving your thoughts and memories. Thank you!
Thank you... you continue to inspire me and give such great ideas. When I think something is too silly out in my journal you give me the reason why it fits 100%. Thank you for all your time and talent that you share!!
Your voice, your art, your talent of creating, you inspire me and help me relax! Thank you Johanna! 💛
You are amazing. It's like I have got permission to do anything anyway in my journal. Sometimes, before pouring my thoughts onto a sheet of paper, i tend to think or sort of restrict myself from scribbling whatever or draw or anything that's not conventional and straightforward. This steals my heart. So raw, so pure and beautiful 💌💐
Happy New Year Johanna hope you do more this year, you were my first inspiration to start a journal!
I use Frankie mags to help fill in my journal. I just love your journalling techniques; very meaningful. Thank you.
Johanna, I love your journals and ideas!! They are true "scrapbooks" with all your own memorabilia straight from your heart!! Thank you for reminding me I should be adding these ideas in my journals!! xoxox
I just discovered junk journaling. I am on my journey to create my very first journal. This video is so helpful. You have given me simple ideas that I can accomplish. Some videos of ephemera and pages have overwhelmed me but you make me feel like anything I create will be just perfect. Looking forward to more of your videos! Thank you!
Love this. It seems therapeutic and a good way to share your soul.
Johanna THANK YOU for this video. Some how it gave me permission to record in ways other than lengthy written entries. So many great ways to utilize a journal. ❤️
Thanks for this video. I think sometimes I get so hung up on the making of the journal I forget they are there to be filled. You also reminded me that every page doesn’t need to be a perfect piece of art, just a momento
I used your diy journal videos.
I used this video to fill that journal
You have filled 3 years of my life with the joy of journaling
You are such a remarkable, inspiring woman.
What gorgeous journals! So inspiring... I have just discovered this wonderful world, noticing how my path's live have brought me right here, as I keep tons of paper memories or just papers that I love ...
Thank you for be so inspiring
I always love seeing your journals. Thank you for the ideas.
This vid almost made me tear up a bit 🥺. Thinking how much meaning those pages have. So much emotion and special moments are captured in your journals. This is a priceless treasure you're giving to your family. I've collected a lot of nick nags since forever and sometimes I don't know what to do with them, you inspire me to put all my artwork into a beautiful book. Thank you for posting and sharing your work with the world. You make it a better one by filling it with hope & positivity
Thanks for such a nice demonstration of how to use our journals. We are leaving bits of history behind when we journal. I am blessed to have my Mother-in-Laws scrapbook/journal that she made in 1941 where she documented her trip to NY as the winner for Nebraska of a DuBarry Cosmetics contest. She actually won the Contest but she has pictures of some of the ladies and comments on what the hair dresser said to her about her beauty. She posted Play Bills from the Broadway shows they went to. She talked about the trip out and then also put in all the magazine ads that displayed her after she won. It is a treasured keep sake. Sadly we have no one to pass it on to when we are gone, so I hope someday down the road someone sees it, and recognizes what a treasure it is. I displayed it at a family reunion last summer and it was the hit of the event. Thanks again for your inspiration and reminder that our journals are important representations of ourselves.
I find it so relaxing to just listen to your videos. Today I was really stressed out and overwhelmed by having to be creative as a part of my job. So this video calmed me down and restrained my urge to do something creative just for myself again. Thank you :)
I like all your advices and tips in this video. Your journals are so chunky and I love it. I haven't made a jj like that because I am just a beginner but I made a mini real "junk" junk journal. I have kept many paper souvenirs that I could include in my future jj. Thank you for sharing.
I think is one of my most favorite videos you have done it was so inspiring and I often wonder what to put in my journal because I'm afraid to mess it up but the mess is part of life too not just the pretty things. Thank you for this video.
Oh my goodness Johanna, you know I treasure ALL of your videos but this has just become my absolute favourite - brilliant, creative and heartwarming. Thankyou for sharing and for the inspiration. I especially love your words "If you have enough of something to make a collection it must be some sort of theme in your life" and the idea of including anything that "speak to your soul". Seeing your use of keepsakes from the garden made me smile because I still have the first rose my husband gave me and the autumn leaf I picked up the day our first grandchild was born. Sending warmest wishes xoxo
I love your journals. I’m new to this craft and I’m addicted. It’s very healing for me working with paper and writing. Thank you
Hi Johanna
I am a fan and love seeing what you put into your journals. I love adding to mine ,more than ever and looking back; its like a time capsule
😊❤❤
What you are saying about collage is so true! I noticed that, for example, I would have totally choose that glittery golden circle from HAIGH'S for my collage because I love bright symmetrical things, but you choose a different one. Clearly, there's something about it that resonates withing us, even if it we don't think about it.
I have watched a lot of journal video's to get inspired but none of them really did inspire me. But this video is fantastic! Thank you for the inspiration!!🧡
"Everything that you like is worthy."
❤Needed to hear this. You're always an inspiration!
Thank you for making junk journaling so interesting, beautiful and simple. Iv wanted to make a journal but didn't know where to start, this video has convinced me to go for it 😊. I love what you do x
Thank you so much for these inspirational journal entry suggestions! What a lovely, embodied way to commemorate ones days!
You have answered my question of what to do with mine!! Thank you for this and all of your videos of how you use yours. I'm thankful your time and energy you put into your videos!! Hugs, Michelle
Such an inspirational video, perfect video for someone that’s just starting and also for someone like me that just needs a reminder.. thank you for always being such an inspiration!!
MyLifeMits 🤗🤗🤗
I love your journal s...I'm 57 and after making 2 journals for my little granddaughters to fill up ,I have started one for myself...I love all types of art a I find it relaxing having a disability and constant pain... So I would like to thank you for taking your time to make and share these videos of your beautiful journals. 💜💜
I watched this after a stressful day and had to tell you --- it was so calming!!!! I appreciate how you open creativity, and now I appreciate the aesthetics in how you present your craft! Thank you :)
Thank you very much for this video. It's great to get ideas from other people about what to write in journals.
I’ve been in a funk. Thank you for the inspiration. Your journals are beautiful.
This is exactly what I was looking for. So many videos on journals and themes. Thank you. They are amazing.
Love your share. I had no idea, before seeing this, how much I could do with my journals. TFS. 😊
I just happened upon junk Journaling! Can't wait to just use stuff around the house. You are inspiring me now!
Such a beautiful video, Johanna! Excellent reminders. Thank you so much! 😍
Thank you so much for sharing all your amazing vids now and then. Just watching your videos are so enjoyable. You and your work are indeed powerful, yet peaceful, giving us so many inspirations and encouragement. Your channel has somehow become one of my safe places from the chaos things I've been confronting each day.❤
For some reason this was so calming! The music was so peaceful!
Your journals are so awesome! Thank you for giving us ideas and a peek into your life :)
I absolutely love the way you journal! It's absolutely satisfying seeing the amount of stuff you put into your journal. It's also lovely to see someone who isn't afraid to make a mess. Guess I'm biased because my journal is quite messy as well, lol.
Joanna, you are fabulous. So inspiring. I am new to the junk journal world and you have so many terrific ideas. Your voice is so so lovely x
Love your journals....and the ways you fill them.It seems so easy to do , and you ' ve got a great inspiration.....you make me feel like doing it...I make à lot of JJ for friends and family, but never did one for myself 😊
Have a great day and thank you so much for sharing.
A french crafting addict😁
Johanna, this video was so beautiful and sincere. Thank you for sharing and for all of the inspiration you've given me through your channel. ❤️
Those are the lovliest and most inspiring journals I have ever seen. They are a beautiful collection of moments and memories so thank you for sharing. xx
I love your journals Johanna. I am making myself a new jojrnal for 2019 and plan tomuseit for photos and stuff through out the yr. Thanks for your inspiration x Mery Xmas 🎄🎁
Thank you, I often wondered what a junk journal was for! Now I know, and what a wonderful idea.
Wow you've completely blown my mind! How beautifully you create these wonderful journals. You have made the connection I needed regarding the purpose of them. When I have this, it seems more genuine. That is how I create anything with a purpose. When I don't have that it becomes too out of focus. I'm all over the place. I usually create jewelry and have been in a long slump with it. Your video got me out of this slump. Thanks alot
🌈💕🎀I just can’t say enough about how much I love your videos! They are calming, inspiring and just so lovely!!! Thank you for taking the time to make/edit/post them! I finally got my craft room organized. I purged some product and can likely purge more. I think having so much, and the ridiculous notion of “having to save the good stuff” held me back from actually making much. (That and so little free time or energy). However my summer holidays from work begin in a few weeks and rather than using that time to clean and reorganize I forced myself to do it now so that I can use the time off to actually use/enjoy the space. Junk journaling will be my primary focus; mainly due to your videos and what they have taught me and how inspired I am from watching them!!! Again: THANK YOU!!! I wish I could have gotten to purchase one from your Etsy shop; but they sell out immediately. (Congrats on that!!) However, I will take what I’ve learned from you and simply try and make my own.
I hope you’re doing well!! Take care!
💕from 🇨🇦
What a phenomenal video. This is so inspiring! I love when you make videos like this! It is so relaxing to watch!
I just love this! You both inspire and validate this art form. Thank you!💛🧡❤️💙💚
Beautiful video. My maternal grandmother wrote the details of her day in journals purchased for her as gifts. My mother & I are blessed to have some of them and this video has inspired me to read them. Paternal grandmother purchased a specific yearly diary in book form that was sold at the old Woolworth drug store. I did not find any when I cleared out her condo after her death BUT I did find several 3-ring type notebooks we used in school when I was in high school where she jotted down info after seeing her doctors, etc. I do have those as well. I am a writer and began keeping little diaries with the cute locks when I was in elementary school. I continued in various forms through my life and do have those as well.
One of my "careers" was teaching application software, including the operating system DOS, to adult non-credit class students when the first IBM clones came out in the mid-80's which launched me into the information age. Way before the advent of "blogs" there was a site called "Open Diary." I enjoyed it immensely; one could decorate their diaries with various artwork, fonts, music - all done with HTML before "drag and drop" artwork. I began writing in the 80's and through it have met friends with whom I am still in contact. Although that my diary still exists at that site, I discovered "Bullet Journals" that appeal to my minimalistic lifestyle and have been experimenting with it for the last year+ The end of last year I stumbled across junk journals and, although I love their beauty & creativity, I'm not artistically-inclined. THIS VIDEO pulled everything together in my mind!!! There are no rules - I can combine my bullet lists, thoughts, appointment schedule WITH clippings and photos I've kept for decades. I am so excited and, again, thank you for these ideas!!
So good to see this, I have made a number of journals and for some reason after I make this magnificent thing I treat it like it;'s some precious art or something. I must use them, and I am, glad to say. It is so helpful to see how others work in theirs. Thank you, great video.
I'd never thought I could do something like that. So artistic and amazing!!!!!
