You're adorable. I love putting a face to a name. Excellent tutorial! Made me cry, it's perfect for my plan and I decided to recruit a couple of my friends(we use to scrapbook together) who have lost loved one's to help me! God Bless you dear one!
I just revisited your videos and I had not watched this one. I also had not seen your face before! So glad to hear and see you again. Miss your videos... TFS
Hi. I really enjoyed your tutorial. I might just go ahead and give it a go. I've made journals before, but I find it overwhelming sometimes and tedious I suppose. Your tutorial is very simple and to the point and doesn't take that much time to make. Tfs. Newbie here. Have a blessed day ☺️🌼🌹
I love these! I'd like to make some for our Ronald McDonald house here in Cincinnati. They like to give handmade journals to patient's and to leave in family rooms to leave notes of encouragement to future families. Thanks for sharing this great tutorial.
You are awesome, and I like the thought about making it for cancer patients. My sister is a cancer survivor, my husband cancer is 4 months in remission, I do like the idea and will be making some for cancer and elderly members in my church. May be following you in Instagram. Keep up the good work.
Muriel Taylor thank you so much for watching and your kind words. I’m touched by your plans to make these journals and share them. ❤️ You’re so awesome 😉
I just have to tell you. I made one of these this weekend and I could NOT stop! They are so adorable and SO fun to make. I plan on selling them at a flea market or at a vendor booth I plan on opening in the near future. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial.
I love this little journal.Just the right size,too.I kind of like the tag with the Hope.The words go so well together for the reason for the journal.Thank you for all the dimensions too.
One of the great things about growing older is that (most) people are not offended when we older ladies say things like "You're precious' or as Jeanine said below, "You're adorable." So, 481, you are those things and more. This was an excellently done tutorial, with great pacing and demonstration of how you make these - adorable - journals. In fact It's made me think about the journals for cancer patients in my area. So thanks so much. I've subscribed and will now look for more of your videos.
Wonderful tutorial - would never have guessed it was your first. These mini bag journals are adorable and quick. I plan to make a few to leave around at Dr's offices or waiting rooms as RAKs for strangers to enjoy. Good way to use my stash and spread a little happy. Thanks for sharing.
Cheryl Rymer thank you so much. It’s a challenge to slow the creative process enough to show it step by step. 😉 I’m so happy you enjoyed it and will try it. I love your idea for RAKs. You’re so sweet 🌻
These are darling. You should definitely make more tutorials. It’s so nice for the personal intro at the beginning. You’re a beautiful lady who creates beautiful work.
I just finished my very first Junk Journal with teeny tiny paper bags I already had. Your video has inspired me to make more, but with standard size bags! Thanks Again for sharing!
Suzan Bolton that’s awesome!! I’m so happy you’re inspired. That’s my goal with everything I do. I want to make people smile and inspire them to share the smiles. 😉🌻😃
Thank you so much for these great mini journals. I will definitely make some of these as I am new to journaling and this seems easy enough for my brain. I love them!!!
I will be making these. We have a City of Hope in our area now. I think/know these will be perfect to make and drop off for patients. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. -Lola
Stitchin by the River Studio thank you for sharing that sweet Lola ❤️ I'm honored to somehow be a part of the beautiful and kind acts these little journals help come true. 🌻
💜💙💚 I love your journals. This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for - a simple tutorial on how to make a paper bag journal. Your tutorial is the only one that I have found that shows start to finish in one video. Perfect!!! I too think these would be amazing to take to our local cancer treatment center. My cousin just finished her chemo for breast cancer and it is now gone. Thank the Lord above. 😇 I think the tag would be pretty hanging on the inside when you open it. It looks good on the outside too but it would add a little dangle inside. I have been gathering supplies to make some journals. Will be going to my Dollar Tree and getting bags. I have everything but the bags. I plan to make some for our cancer treatment center. Such a thoughtful little treasure for someone to write in as they go through their treatments. Thank you for showing me how to make these and for the inspiration. New subbie to your channel. Can’t wait to see what other amazing things you create. Keep up these type tutorials as they are excellent. You are a great teacher. Hugs to you! 🤗🤗🤗❣️🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much 😊 There's so much good in the world if you keep your heart open. I love being a small part of so much love. 😊 I hope you have a lovely day. 🌻
Thank you so much 😊 May I suggest you cut card stock to size and use is in the place of the bag if you can’t find the bags easily. The idea will work with thick paper too. 😉😃 You can create pockets with more paper too.
Lizzie Laine Designs thank you so much 😊I’m so happy it inspired you to make your own. I warn you they can be addictive because they can be whipped up so quickly. 😉 Oh and welcome to my channel 😘
Vani Kurup thank you so much sweet lady 😉 I'm not used to being in front of the camera but warming up for maybe some FB live videos in the near future 😳😃

Thank you so much sweet Annemarie 😘 Can you message me your address on Instagram? I want to send you a little thank you gift for being my 1k subbie. My handle on Instagram is @481designsllc
Starting to make paper bag journals. My die cut for insert pages is splitting the paper between the 2 holes I think it's suppose just score, Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong? Thank you!!
Jeanne Corsby-Hale I had something similar happen depending on wether I ran too many or too few pages through at one time. I just played with until I got the right effect of the scoring between the two holes. I suggest you check out Eileen’s FB and her fan page. It’s super helpful with tips and tricks. I hope that helps. Here’s the link facebook.com/eileenhulldesigns/
Mary Owens hi 😃 Yes, you can absolutely use a regular hole punch. Remember this is just one way to do it. Feel free to make any changes you need to. 😉😃

Great idea, will be having a go if I can find the bags here in Australia.
Thank you so much 😊 May I suggest you cut card stock to size and use is in the place of the bag if you can’t find the bags easily. The idea will work with thick paper too. 😉😃 You can create pockets with more paper too.
Great job on your tutorial....they are really cute. good for little gift instead or a Bday or Christmas card.

jeanette you’re so sweet! Thank you 😊 I’m planning out another tutorial. I hope you like that one too. 😃😉
I like the tag, but I agree a smaller one would look better. You could also add a charm with a pin of some sort also that would be cute
Great ideas! 😃 I think you’re right. Smaller is better for this mini journal. 😉
Too cute
