When I buy a paper pack there are always pages I don’t like. I use them as bases so they don’t go to waste. I have to say I’ve never needed to make more scrap on purpose. Scraps are randy little buggers as they seem to propagate all on their own.
That's a great way to use them up!
Love to watch you collage. It always turns out beautiful. Your eye for color, balance and detail is wonderful.
Thank you so much!
I could listen to you and watch you collage for hours, days even! Thank you for doing this video. It really helped me. I'm one of those small pieces of paper first and never knew why I got so frustrated. I never wanted to cover those bits up so I'd quit. You are a tremendous help Rachel . Love, Jan from the USA
Oh yay! I hope you can get going now. let me know how it works for you! Thank you so much!
Thank you for clearing up the collage fog. I can see clearly now. Good directions it will help greatly.
Thank you so much!
Those were great guidelines for collaging. We’ve probably all heard each of these points from you at various times but to get them all at the same time in sequence is much appreciated. Glad you were able to touch base with Sarah.🥰❤️
You definitely have!!! It's good to have it all in one place. Thank you so much!
Thank you Rachel, for sharing these collaging tips. The last piece you created, with the butterflies, is a perfectly lovely example. i would triple matt it and frame ut and hang it near my crafting table to inspiee and delight me.
Oh you are so funny! Thank you so much!
What a joyful project! This was especially good as it was more than ideas and techniques. When you mentioned your Sis and Mom, I was so touched. You are so lucky to have them in your life...I miss my Mom and Sis. I love when art also deeply touches my spirit. It inspires me to my core. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
I am floored at how much help this has been to me!! I’ve always struggled with collage, but this really made sense. I think one big problem for me has been that all my papers are together, so I get hung up with using the wrong thing first and then bumfoozled all around. Thanks again for sharing your process so concisely!
I am so pleased! let me know how you go! Thank you so much!
Oh this was fantastic.. You are such a great teacher.. Love the sound of your voice
Very easy to listen to. I'm going to try this right now. Before I forget 😂 😂 😂. Much Love from Australia. X
Thank you so much!
As a newbie to junk journalling, I found this very helpful. You have explained it very well. ☺
Thank you so much!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this!! I so enjoy when you collage...I get so tickled at you! It gives me a great giggle and, of course, always a good time had. Not to mention, the learning process! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!!!
Thank you so much!
This is one of my favorite videos you have shared, and considering how much fun and informative they all are, that is truly saying something good.
It does help when steps or guidelines are given, to include an example or two. I am so visual, that the old saying about “one picture is worth 1,000 words” definitely applies to me. Thanks for sharing info as well as bringing a bit of laughter into our day.
Thank you so much!
That was a great video, thank you Rachel.
As you were chatting I wrote the 10 tips in my Collage notebook.
Organise the papers is the most important for me!
I made a great very long collage Masterboard after watching your video. I love it so much I don’t want to cut it up!
I think they are wonderful for cutting out large tags etc.
So thank you!🧚♀️✨💫
Thank you so much!
Good breakdown of the process. Thanks rachel.
Thank you so much!
Oh my goodness, collage is my ABSOLUTE favorite thing to do with paper!!! I would have to say that 3 qualities you have to possess or learn are: bravery, patience and flexibility. Also, you can't be married to anything preconceived, in my experience. And know when to stop.... :-)
good points!!!!! Thanks
Totally agree!
I'm so delighted that I found this video. I haven't been junk journaling very long less than a year so I'm going back to look at some of the older videos that you've done. I found this extremely helpful thank you thank you thank you
Thank you so much!
Such helpful tips on collaging and perfect timing as I just purchased several of your wonderful digital kits. Thank you for sharing your digital treasures and the collaging tips. Everything you make is gorgeous!
Thank you so much!
I just love how messy and chaotic this process it. Beautiful work!
Thank you so much!
Thank you. Your presentation was very helpful and enjoyable.
Thank you so much!
Thanks Roxy, that did help me, I was getting lost and despondent in the process but I can follow your lead and will get stuck in again. Cheers from Australia
Thank you very much!
Collaging now! Love love love to collage
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this! I have always struggled with collage which is odd because it's supposed to be random. These tips will really help 🙂.
I understand as it does start of random but then you build up to your focal point. Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing these super helpful ideas! 📚
Thank you so much!
Rachel, thankfully collaging has always come naturally to me even though I'd never seen or heard guidelines before. You have given me a new way to think about what I'm doing and your guidelines are very helpful. Thank you for sharing your expertise with all of us. Donna, in California.
I didn't really have guidelines when I started these are just things I noticed i always think about. It's hard for some people so I wrote them down as they came to mind to gather them into one spot. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video. It was definitely helpful and less confusing that other videos I have been watching while trying to learn collage. The tip on using large pieces when making a large background is wonderful, and I am excited to get started.
I am so pleased! Thank you so much!
Rachel!! I just followed these tips and made the prettiest tags/ journal cards/ belly bands i have ever made!! Thank YOU ❤ I wish I could post a pic but you'll just have to believe me lol
You could message them on Instagram or Etsy, would love to see! I'm so pleased they worked out!!! Thank you so much!
@@roxycreations679 that is a great idea! I'll do that hopefully this afternoon
Hello Rachel, loved this video. I do struggle to get a cohesive look to my collaging, so your tips were invaluable. Thank you for putting this video together and sharing with us. I know it is an "oldie" but have been going back to the more "older" ones. Am enjoying them just as much. Love what you do and love how you explain, so down to earth and sometimes so funny, you have a "fan" for as long as you put up videos. I learn sooooooo much from you. Thank you my Italian Australian friend. Blessings from Cape Town Diana
Thank you so much 😊
This is the best explanation of collage "how-to" I've found. Before I took up journal making I didn't give collage a single thought. But seeing how much it gets used in JJ world, I have struggled to understand the how and the why. Thank you for this clear and detailed explanation of the collage process. I've been trying my hand at it lately. While I think I may be improving, these tips will surely help! The summary at the end was helpful too. Thanks, Rachel! ~Marci 🥰
Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much for this very helpful 10 tips for collages. I'm so happy you shared this with us.❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Love collage ! Thanks for sharing, one of my favorite things w/ paper😊☮️🙏💯🌺
Thanks so much! 😊
I've enjoyed watching you collage over many videos, but it's good to have the steps spelled out - thanks!
Thank you so much!
So I have to agree, if you start with little pieces you can go crazy and give up! love the tips and I particularly love that you audition, and change your mind! I am trying to be as fluid and my collaging is a bit boring, but I hope with more practice it will get better! Thank you!
Just keep going and one day it will click! Thank you so much!
Really good round up of things to consider when collaging. Excellent! Thank you. I am just beginning to try collaging after admiring it for a while.
Thanks so much! 😊
So much fun to watch and listen to you collage!!!!
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this. I learned alot and now feel more relaxed about doing collages. Don't feel so intimidated as I did before listening to this video. Plan to collage fabrics and this works so well. So happy!
I use the same approach for sewing as well. I find it usually works. Thank you so much!
FAb, I am excited that I finally managed to get the Giotto glue. xx
Tracie Fox - how or where did you get the Giotto glue? I've had no luck but I'm in the USA.
I can send you some if you like, was it expensive? It costs about €2.90 for the 40gr one here. Thank you so much!
@@roxycreations679 Ah thank you but it arrived about 30 minutes ago. I got 3, 20g for £1.50 each so pretty cheap. I have looked several times before with no luck but the sticker says new item, they were from Amazon :-D. Cant wait to try it out xx This is the link if you get asked for UK xx www.amazon.co.uk/Klej-w-sztyfcie-20-gram/dp/B003CCFB70/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=giotto+glue&qid=1600533588&s=instant-video&sr=1-1
I love to collage i remember doing it at high school in arts
Clear lesson, well explained and illustrated, Rachel. Kudos to you for including auditioning...what would collage be without that? .Hugs, Carol xo

Thank you so much!
My feeling is you do a awesome great job that has helped me to follow you and has helped me and of course others to learn a step by step Journaling of material and more. And with others people like the Outpost and more importantly others who share their experiences with junk Journal.
Love you all
Janie 😍💞
Happy New Year! Thank you so much!

Thanks for the tips. I do struggle with collaging and am not always happy with the results. Your video will help.
Thank you so much!
It does help. I started doing the Margarete Miller with you and I kept referring to yours when I couldn’t get started. I did come to recognize that as things were going to get covered I had to just enjoy the process.
Did you go ahead, I got side tracked and forgot!!! You reminded me!!!!
Roxy Creations I’m only on #18 but I love it. I do it to ‘centre myself’ between projects.
Thank you for the great tips

Very Insightful - Thank you for sharing ❤️💯🙏🏻🥰🎉
Thank you so much!
And for the record, I have to confess that, on occasion, I have........shall we say, enthusiastically (read: loudly) made suggestions when I saw bits and pieces that I thought should be included. Never mind that I am shouting at a computer screen................ ;-)
Oh i would love to hear you!!!
yep, me too...lol and sometimes she hears me lol
Thankyou for sharing your tips. You are the queen of collaging! Xx

Just beautiful! Thank you for the helpful tips!
Thank you so much!
So helpful! Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Great job! I was thinking....Natasha writes the list and at end of video puts it in the video, and tells us like you did to either pause and jot down, or take a screen shot, which I do, then I print it! But this video was very helpful!! You are so good at collage work!
She's more organised than I am, lol! Thank you so much!
#11 I was waiting for this one- try not to line up edges eg do not match edges , stagger where papers are laid down all over the master background so the end collage does not look linear ( unless that is the look you want!)
Yes, staggering all of the edges is important, especially when working with torn edges.
Hahaha forgot that one! Thank you so much!
Really enjoyed this love watching you, thanks for sharing your tips.
Thank you so much!
Great tips thanks for sharing
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing this. Such a helpful idea.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing this, I learned a lot, love watching your vids 😊🌼
Thank you so much!
Great tips! Thanks for sharing. I am terrible at collage. I can see it in my mind but it never turns out right on paper.
I bet you're not!! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the list. It will help so much!
Thank you so much!
Rachel you do a lovely collage, not always easy to do a collage as I have found out. I will try your way of doing it.
Thank you so much!
This was very helpful for me. The background was what I had problems with. I was using too small pieces. Thanks
for sharing.
Linda, Me Too!!!!!!! Then I wouldn't want to cover them up and I'd get frustrated!!
I'm so glad this helps! Thank you so much!
@@jancrittenden132 I think I did too and then realised it was better to cover with larger pieces and then add details.
I need to have a go! Thank you for your tips x
Thank you so much!
Great process video thanks Rachel. I think my problem was the layering, what I put down first I expected to be the finish, but ..it’s ..just ..background. 🤦🏻♀️lightbulb moment. ✨✨🎉🎉🎉💖
Thank you so much!
Hello sweet Rachel! Thanks for the tips!!! You know I love your colleges! Hugs
Thank you so much!
This is so helpful. Thank you for sharing! 💕
Thank you so much!
Hi @Roxy Creations, I loved how you spent some time talking about your scissors. I've been on the hunt for some thin scissors like that for collaging.
Thank you so much!
I bought the Tim Holtz scissors. I bought the medium size first. Loved them so much I bought the large and small ones.
@@maryannjordan317 Thank you for the info! :D I'll keep an eye out for those.
thank you rachel. very helpful.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the great tips!
Thank you so much!
Love your explantation!
Thank you so much!
very nice information, I was just wondering do you ever make a copy of your collage before you cut in up? sometime I find I love my collage when I'm finished I have to make a copy and keep for later! love your videos! My mom was from Sydney Australia she passed just 4 months ago and listening to you reminds me of her voice.
I am so sorry for your loss! Sometimes I make a copy if it has things in the public domain. Thank you so much!
I really enjoy watching people collage- I am not sure what it is, but very fun for me. I like the ideas you chose to include in your list and find they are extremely helpful for all types of collaging!!
Thank you so much!
So helpful.❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
