    Hi Joie 😃. I really really love the simplicity of your creations which is so well suited for the beginners. I love the way you use junk and cheap material, when some people use a lot of stickers of all sorts bought on Aliexpress, and the not too much difficult techniques with which you create really beautiful compositions and Ephemera like it was sophisticated. You are a great source of inspiration to me. My junk journals are highly inspired by you, together with Francesca from Junk journal Joy and Natasha from Treasure Books, you are all my top 3 🥰. Many thanks for sharing all this with us💜

    I love your style, you are so creative. Don't compare yourself against anyone, just being you is so fabulous. I don't think you realize how many people look up to you and think they could never be so good. I have been painting on ephemera and book pages because of you.

    Joie your video was a godsend to me because I’ve been at the crossroads of journaling thinking, “will this please others” and being stifled by those thoughts. Well, today, after watching you, it’s given me room to say I can just please myself. I love your ideas and I’ve made a few little albums from watching you. So, thanks and thanks.🌷I will watch this video over and over again. You’re a star!💐🌻🌱

    I just love you. I have been watching you for several years. I like how your journals are bright and pretty. It’s nice to see work that is less grungy. I have memory issues, so I often watch your videos over and over. I can’t remember, have you done a video about storage? It seems like you have. Anyway, you have a true fan. Blessings.❣️🙏🎨

      ❤I also love your videos and also struggle with short term memory issues from two brain surgeries. I love that you are clear and to the point. There are tons of wonderful TH-cam channels but many of them loose me in their chatter. I am new to junk journal and I love how this video shows your personal evolution in this particular art of creating junk journals. My sister and I via text and zoom are doing the 100 day challenge. This video is perfect for that as you show how you do lots of the same thing in practice to then use as ephemera. Thank you so much!

    You're absolutely right about the whole creative process. If you HAVE to create something, it takes the fun clean out of it. And we are our own hardest critics. I love your work, your painting has re-activated my interest, everything you do is pleasing to my eye and every video is inspiring. There are so many "ways to be creative", why confine ourselves to just one way? Having fun is vital for well being.

    Dear Joie- thank you for sharing your journey with us. I remember that beautiful La Blanche Lily stamp that you painted on book pages and the gorgeous Holly berry wood block stamp. But as you said, it’s not just about amassing supplies…it’s about using what you have to bring joy to your journal page! The inspiration we see here on TH-cam is fuel that sparks our creative process. The artists who take care to share their gifts here are greatly appreciated! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us! 🙏💖🎨🖋🦋

    I want to say that you’ve found your own unique style & it’s lovely! What your creations remind me of is Edith Holden wrote and drawed for her journaling for what we have came to love as her country diary based on her outlook on her daily concepts of life as she visited nature, took walks then wrote and drawed what she’d seen and her books have became famous, and you create, draw, glue, paint, stick, sew, cut, tear, paste, color, and so much more based on the same principles you go for a walk whether it be spring, summer, fall, or winter and you create it in a journal that’s your inspiration and it’s so like Edith Holden just in a different way. So with that said I hope you know that you’re videos are why I keep coming back to TH-cam and why I never get tired of your amazing unique only Joie style. Don’t ever sell yourself short because you found yourself and it’s amazing, thank you for sharing it with us. ❤

    Another Thursday evening treat! I identify with you in finding my own style. I want so much to be more freestyle and think outside the box. You’re encouraging and empathetic in that respect. I watch your videos for inspiration and in finding more fun in what I love to do. You’re an art therapist, too! You just lift my day and my spirits when I watch you. Thanks so much.

    I hope that re-watching your videos and commenting keep your channel alive. Appreciate you sharing the kind of stress and anxiety that was moving into your journaling. I think Above All Else junk journaling should be enjoyable. I want to use more pain like you are doing in this video both on the pages and little ephemera. So glad I can go back and watch those videos over again as my memory is so bad

    Joie, you are an inspiration for this old gal. Yes, sometimes we do put pressure on ourselves and enjoy the ourselves less. But when we do find our own path, creating becomes a joy. One of my favorites is collaging on paper strips with scraps and adding stamps, paint, and words. I learned this from one of your tutes and find I love the process and the result. TYFS all of your tutorials. I enjoy them a lot!

    Your videos are so inspiring and most of all encouraging. As we all watch other artists we think we “need” to be doing this or that. It can be confusing and create discouraging mind games. I love watching videos, but I need to remember one thing instead of thinking “I need” to do that, I’m going to starting thinking “I want” to do this. I keep thinking I need to do more with paint. When actually my question should be do I want to do more with paint. This video is a reminder of this. Thank you thank you and thank you, Joie ❤️❤️❤️

    I'm not an artist, don't have a natural eye for colour, and struggle to draw stick people. I do love to cut and glue and stamp, and thanks to your gentle encouragement I now relish splattering, painting outside the lines and using up boxes of old supplies in non conventional ways.

    Hi sweetheart 🤗 I truly wonder how many of us have felt lost and unsure about what our JJ style is/was and went off looking at more and more and MORE JJ videos only to bring more confusion to the situation and make things even worse. Simply put, at least for me, I just need to START - put pen (or brush or pencil or whatever) to paper, make a mark, and go from there. Pam at The Paper Outpost reminds us often that "it's only paper", so what's the worst thing that could happen? You are such an inspiration to me - you've even gotten me trying my hand at painting for Pete's sake - now THAT took some doing. Love you bunches, hugs Joie! Ems ♥️🤗🏜🤗♥️

You just describe how I feel, like comparing myself, not have confidence in what I do, getting stuck and sometimes discouraged, etc. What you say and show help to remove pressure and focus on pleasure. I will certainly watch a lot of your videos! PS : I love your name (I'm french people, Joie means Joy in french!)

Gradually I am developing my own style as well. 💜🐞

    I quite enjoy your channel. You and Treasure books are the two main channels I watch. I came into this quite by accident; I started out looking for ways to spruce up a plain commercial journal I’d purchased and had committed to writing in each day. I was planning to use stickers and colored pencils mostly. I’m still doing that in that particular journal, but now I’m starting to get the bug for real junk journaling, making everything from scratch and not relying on expensive supplies. Using my own creativity instead of that of others. Your channel has been a huge inspiration for that.

    Hi Joie, thank you for this share. I enjoyed your painting and sketching tips but I particularly appreciated your honesty. It was interesting how you felt the pressure to perform/produce as your channel grew. I dare say many creators feel this. It was great that you could take a step back and focus on what you enjoy, ultimately this is what matters. You clearly are an artist and as such have your own unique style. I/we obviously love your style, as your subscriber numbers show! I particularly appreciate how you use paint, pen and recycled items. While there are definitely digies I love, I don’t want my journals to be only about digital files. Your videos free us from the constraints of being/doing ‘perfect.’ Thank you for encouraging freedom and acceptance. Have a great day. 😀

    I really loved the video you did on the altered book. I watched it quite a few times until I was confident enough to have a go. It was the first time I'd ever used paint or ripped up a book! I love my book, splashing paint in it and doing simple collaging on top of it. I got so much out of that video and it's still my favourite thing to do. I use it for positive quotes and things I love like flowers and anything that's bright and cheerful. Thank you so much for making our journey into junk journaling so much fun 🌻💐💙

Love the watercolors ideals I’m sure to practice this soon. Thanks for sharing 🥳💕💕

Incidentally, I stumbled across and bought recently the same book, A Victorian Flower Album, by Henry Terry, at an antique store. My intention was to tear it up and use it in junk journals, but it is so lovely that I don't believe I can do it. I may just use it as a reference by which to try to paint watercolor wildflowers.

    Hi Joie! I have a special request. 😂I’ve never used paint, pens, or color sticks in my journaling but would love to have the courage to try. I’m just not sure what to use.
    I bought a set of water color sticks in all the metallic colors, I have water color paints, pencils, pens etc. I would love a video of all the coloring techniques you use, how to use them and what they can do. I know they really enhance your journals.
    I know it’s a lot to ask, but I’m sure there are others who would like to learn too.
