I lost my Mom 2022🤧 so I actually took all the sympathy cards and made my first Junk journal. I titled it "I love you to the moon and back" Still adding little things . Thank you for great tips still new at this so learning.
I’m so glad that there’s a creative way to store all of these things! I’m a person that gets sentimental over the tiniest of trinkets or objects that some people wouldn’t think another minute of. I’ve always kept little things like valentine cards, papers my friends gave me, etc. i never knew what to do with it, but at the same time I don’t want to throw it away. I’ll definitely try this out, it seems so fun!!
I hope you do try it out! It's addicting and a perfect way to preserve those little things you collect. It's amazing flipping through one once it's been filled up. It's like you made art out of your memories.
I’m very happy to report that I have made it! I finished it a few hours ago, and it was really nice looking at something that was created completely by myself. I’m really excited to fill it up with my memories!
@@vivi8640 that's awesome! So excited for you, I love that feeling!
Just reading your comment, my husband accidentally washed his wallet with some “forever stamps” and he was going to toss them. They nevertheless will be used in my junk journals. One man’s junk is another woman’s treasure!!!
I feel and do the exact same thing! People don't seem to understand me though so I stopped talking about it, my friend once tore a paper I had wanted to put in my notebook, we're still friends but I'm not sure why she did that.
Talking about going down a rabbit hole. I hardly ever watched CZcams until about two years ago myself. One channel took me to another to another. So much art in so many different forms has entered my life and my small craft area.
Sorry for out of topic, BUT you kinda look like Amanda Seyfried/Margot Robbie. So pretty~
I have heard Margot Robbie alot. Thank you so much for the compliment!
Yes you look both of them
I was going to say Amanda Seyfried too!
Great explanation of junk journaling and examples😊 Thank you. Also want to add that I think you and Melissa Orday ( Abby Newman- Y&R) have a remarkable resemblance 😉
I was thinking the same thing. Especially the Amanada!
I'm 73 and sounds wonderful to me,your such a beautiful girl showing us gals how to make beautiful memories into wonderful journals, thank you sweetheart!
I love the idea of using junk mail for junk journals! The never-ending resource :) Great video :)
My very first JJ was made up of post cards, birthday and Christmas cards etc. that my grandfather sent to my grandmother when he was courting her (this was around 1915). It took me three years to put together. I included quite a lot of ephemera from around that time, photos of them and their family. I gave it to my daughter who is into genealogy and heritage .. she loves it and keeps it as a reference for her genealogy ...
Thank you for explaining junk journaling. You have really helped. It's so confusing. I've always dreamed be scrapbooking some this kinda like that but different.
You did very well explaining what Junk Journal and Ephemera both are. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely and sentimental journals so that it will help others to get started in this fun and creative way to keep and store their memories.
One persons junk is someone's beautiful journal, that's nice!
After years of decoupage-ing, I also just recently went down that rabbit whole by chance on CZcams and I find it a very pleasant, creative, fun and great place to be! And I enjoy that I can take my decopage into a new area! Your junk journals are very personal and unique. I really like them! Thanks for explaining and sharing! 🤗🌻🦋
I painted on canvases, and when I heard and saw journaling on youtube I thought it was crazy. However I thought I 'd try it.. and I found out that it's amazing ...i do it mostly for painting and my art has improved so much. I must have 10 art journals. Love love love.
please show us your art journals!
The cover of your junk journal is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I really love it!!!!!!!!
Great job explaining junk journals. I am new to it all too and also went down the same rabbit hole! I love seeing what other people use their journals for and how they make theirs.
I watched your junk journal tutorial and I loved it! That was my first time hearing of a junk journal. I can now say, you are the reason I have started junk journaling. Thank you! I needed something to pour all my creative thoughts on.
Thank you for showing all the different ways you use your junk journals!! I like the combinations of scrapping and writing. Thanks!
I think a project that was called a smash book has transitioned into junk journals.
Smash books and junk journals serve the same purpose 😨🙂
Ooh a fellow Junk Journal Addict. Mine have become quite arty, have made about 30 now I think. I use watercolour paints in them and do journal spreads. So much fun!!!!!! Joie 💜🌿
I was out as soon as she said scrapbooking. I’m so NOT good at that.
I am new to this beautiful form of art trash lol. I'm hooked.
You just introduced me to junk journaling ( thank you, thank you!!) and I think it's something I should try. I FEEL creative, but my EXECUTION is never right. Crooked lines, off-centered, imperfections galore! Junk journals have that beautiful, perfect imperfection that I've had so much (unintentional) practice with 😂.
Thank you for your great explanation, and I'm excited to get started! 😍
Thanks. I just discovered junk journaling recently, and I'm amazed and totally overwhelmed in a good way! You explained it well, because there are some basic ideas, but the bottom line is, it can be whatever you want it to be. Such an amazing creative outlet!
I love junk journaling! Totally hooked. I do themed junk journals, bird journal, and -- like you said -- journals that are more like scrapbooking. Thanks for taking the time to talk about this wonderful craft! xxLynn
Love your take on junk journals! To me it's exactly what a jj should be. ❤
There’s a lot of different ideas of what a junk journal is. Some look at it as how you’re talking about it, and others look at it as a book made out of all junk pieces. I believe a junk journal, or any journal, can be whatever we perceive it to be 😊
finally!!! someone finally telling me what junk journal is. looking forward to learning
I have never been interested in scrapbooking But this junk journaling idea seems fun and a great way to save sentimental things, recycle, along with using creativity and even therapeutic I bet! Thank you!
I followed the CZcams rabbit hole and found you and now I feel I found a creative outlet for all my many ephemera items... thank you!! I’ll be watching your other videos on junk journals and such to help with this creative process as well!!
This was very helpful. I've been scrapbooking and art journaling for years and only recently gotten interested in junk journaling. I'd like to bind my own journals but also am interested in using TNs rather than making my own. Thank you!
You have done a great job of explaining what junk journaling is. Great job.
Thank you so much! I've watched a lot of videos re: Junque Journals and this has helped me understand so much!!
I just found out about junk journals. I love this. Thank you for showing us your lovely lovely craft!
Your journals are amazing! Cant wait to try this. I'm so excited.
Excellent tutorial. Explained so well and I love the “history” of junk journaling and the visuals makes this video 3-D! Bravo!
When I was in high school I went to the movies all.the.time. And I would always glue my movie ticket stubs into a notebook and write down a review of the movie and who I went with and how I felt and all that and did the same thing for concert tickets. I think I finally threw it out a few years ago but this is a cool concept.
Why would you throw that away? It has so many memories in it and reminders of how you spent significant parts of your life.
Thank you for the video! And for the good explanation of what junk journal is!
Oh my goodness your video was by far the best one with a great explanation of "What is it used for?" Loved the video I give you 2 thumbs up 👍👍
You chose some great people. Here’s 2 more I absolutely love. Pam at The Paper Outpost. And Shannon Green. Shannon makes all kinds of journals and she’s fun to watch.
I love making journals!! I never have a theme, since to me it means junk, little objects or trinkets that are sentimental to you. Or an experience you had, little weird stuff you find interesting :) thank you for your take on this as well!!
I would love to see a how to junk journal! My mom and I are starting to get into this! Loved you video!!!
Love your junk journaling style. This is exactly how I want my first junk journal to be like.
Agreed.CZcams is awesome for discovering so much and learning a whole lot about things for free and that’s how I discover junk journaling myself just recently is watching CZcams videos and I’m so glad I found this hobby which I absolutely have a passion for and want to learn more every day about what to put in journals
Im so glad I finally found someone who could really explain what a junk journal. is and why people use it. Thank you
Love your video on junk journaling. I have 6 children and in-law children and several grandchildren, that I would love to make a junk journal for each of them. Thank you so much. I will be looking forward to looking at the rest of your videos.
I actually just discovered junk journaling☺️. I’ve been so overwhelmed as to where to start and this has really helped me to decide what to do! I have three children. One in Heaven. I also have 12 grands💖. I think this will be very therapeutic for me🙏🏼 thank you!
Your journals are fabulous! Keep up the great work! Cant wait to make one
I can understand you quite well, fell recently in love with junk journaling
and feel already addicted .sometimes i cannot sleep,becsuse i think of trying a method and just resist Standing up again to immedeatly start eworking,... Great,that i found such a love💮
I just found out about junk Journaling a few days ago. I am hooked! Thank you for sharing. ❤
I just discovered junk journaling et it makes me really happy ! Thank you for this video, can't wait to try :) I would be really interested to see the whole process on how to do a journal by yourself
I 💜 CZcams also! I couldnt quantify what i have learned over the years. I enjoyed your video! Thank you.
I love this. Thanks for explaining. I used to have a big calendar on my wall when I was a kid and all the fun or neat thing for the month would get attached to the calendar. 45 years later I still have these wonderful memories and laugh at what I thought was so important at 12 years old. I am going to get back to this. I just toss all of these fun memories in a box now
Very well explained. Thanks. When I made these in 1970 they called them Scrapbooks. Memorabilia from our travels and life events.
Thanks for the explanation- I realized that I made one of these in high school ages ago by accident! I love this idea because I keep all sorts of bits and pieces from events, etc.. and this will be a great way to keep them all together.
So did I !! I didn't know that was what I was doing. What fun !
You explained it very well. Now I need to get busy. You gave me the idea for what to do with all the notes and cards I’ve saved over the years. Maybe I’ll make one for each of my kids (4) with cards, pictures, etc. that are relevant to them, leaving space for them to write something about the events.
I love how you can hand make it and it's just a way to store memories on little trinkets
Watching this in the Covid 19 lockdown in 2020. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience on Junk Journaling. If I am remembering correctly, I think I read that junk journals also started at a time when paper was a precious commodity and people didn't have money to spend on much more than necessities. So, if they had an old ledger or some kind of registry they would reuse it and paste things that they wanted to keep inside. Thank you for sharing your creative journals.
I think you did a great job of explaining JJ. Thanks so much!
You did a great job explaining it and I really enjoyed learning about junk journaling! Thank you 😍
I'm so glad to have found your channel. Thanks so much for this video. It's excellent.
Thanks for sharing your journals. You explained everything really well. I recently started junk journaling & posting videos so this is very helpful.
That’s exactly what happened to me! I just ‘bumped’ into a video and was awestruck. All these boxes, folders, and files I have saved. I asked several U tubers to tell me what you’re doing. NO ONE ANSWERED! So, thank you so much for explaining this art to me. It will probably be an awful mess on my first try, but I am going to try it! Thanks.
Thanks for the explanation, it helped a lot! Going to check out your tutorials next!
Loved this video. I also found junk journaling through CZcams and these days it’s what I really look forward to. I definitely use it most as an art form and have gotten tons of suppplies
Thank you Madison! Happy journeys with your junk journaling! I'd love to see some of your work ❤
l love your junk journal examples. Junk journaling is so much fun. I also love watching your hauls. Have a great day.
I LOVE this, especially your Peter Rabbit book - I remember those books! I had some handed down from my older sisters... please do a video on the travelers notebooks and how to create the signatures for them! I love the idea of them used as a junk journal for each trip!
This was a great description of junk Journaling. I love this
Thank you for explaining that to me...I came across The Paper Outpost recently and I'm trying to get started with Junk Journaling for the crafting side 💚 But I wasn't sure exactly what it was... Now I know 💙So glad I came across your post 💌 Thank you 😊
I love your books! Thank you for the great explanation!
Awesome, yep that’s junk journaling love it would love to see more
I don’t know if you see your comments this long after videos are posted, but I wanted to say thank you for the great intro. I have been trying to explain to a friend what junk journaling is and your video has made it much easier
Cute, clever idea! Used to have a bunch of that stuff. Don’t know if I still do but I like the idea. The one for your kids would be a great place to keep kids artwork. Could even use the artwork to make the pages.
It’s pretty interesting the explanation of journal and everything about it
I love Journaling! That explanation it was very helpfull and your Journals are very nice!
I would love to see more of your videos on junk Journaling. I haven't made one yet but you have inspired me to try🤗
What an excellent explanation and examples of junk journals. I've learned how to make mini albums, soap, beaded jewelry and charms, junk journals, travelers notebooks ... all on CZcams! I'm always learning about new things to create. tfs
Making soap is on my list of things to learn! Thanks for watching!!
I love your style of junk journaling! Beautiful! 🌸🌸🌸

This is a really good explanation. Johanna is one of my favorites.
I really love the way she explained how to use a journal ☺️
Really cool! I have never heard of a junk journal! Sounds awesome! 😄

I'm a new subscriber and I absolutely love watching you, your just so Happy and bring joy to my life!!!
He’ll, just found You today, I’ve just started junk journaling myself. I’m actually in the middle of filming my very first process video. I’m really liking it so far though, but it’s a definite stretch from what I’m used to on my channel :-) thanks for sharing your thoughts and processes
Thanks for the explanation. I really love your traveller s note book.
You did an awesome job of explaining it. Thank you.
Thank you for explaining! Enjoyed this video
I’m interested in making a junk journal, I really didn’t know how to get started, you explained it very well. Thank you so much❤️
It is not necessary memories, is things you normally throw out you can create something beautiful. But yes you can add memories. Very beautiful.
Thanks for your explanation of a junk journal.. I started out with my bible journals and then started making Travel Notebooks and now I'm making Altered Books.. It's all fun. I'm making an altered book for my Sunday school class Christmas party to be auctioned off and I needed to explain what it is because I'm sure most of them will not know. Thanks again for your help!
Thanks for watching Nancy! I love Bible Journaling! Haven't done it in awhile, but it's a great way to study the Word and memorize. I bought a Bible with space on the side to write and I love coloring and water painting scriptures. I think that's amazing you're creating an altered book for auction. I'm glad I could help with the explanation! 😁
I had not heard of "Junk Journaling" before, but I like it. I bought a scrapbook but never put anything in it as it seemed to fussy and didn't think I could do it justice, but this looks like fun.
So glad I found your channel today. I liked, subscribed, and look forward to learning more and getting ideas.
I loved your junk journals! So wonderful 😊
Thanks Karen!
great ideas, really nice...thanks for posting
Yes this is great would love to see more!!!

Great explanation! Thank you! ❤ Kim
Thank you for explaining this. It looks like fun 😊
You make journaling sound really fun! :) Pam
I'm a total crafting newbie and this was very useful to me 👏
This is exactly what I want to do! I want to do traditional stuff~ paper bags, magazines, leaflets, junk mail, etc :D I am a beginner who hasn't even started yet~ just looking for ideas~ I wanna do one in memorial of my parents who passed away 10 years ago
