Thank you Ceri The Crafter for keeping Us Newbies in mind 🤗 it is fun and interesting how you fill your journals and I'm intrigued in all the Ephemera you have ready to go and even the unfinished one's.
I have been moderately interested in junk journaling for years but since I saw your video you have sparked a new interest and given me a whole new appreciation in junk mail. I now see so many interesting things coming through my junk mail.
I have such a hard time keeping pages blank! I find myself thinking about what I want to pull out to decorate each page! Your method of mass making has inspired me to make lots and lots of possibilities- I have a WHOLE TRAY of “harvested numbers” and meaningful words. Thank you for sharing all your ideas. Love love love it all.
Thanks for showing how you organize ephemera and sort and choose appropriate items for decorating. I found this inspirational and enjoyed watching your reasoning and creative processes.🙂
Ceri, I loved seeing your ephemera and how you store it. I think this system would be manageable for me, too many things at once and I am easily overwhelmed. Thank you for sharing you time, gifts and talents with the world!
So enjoyable to watch. I’m building up my ephemera box by watching your channel. Making notes of which videos to watch next. Thank you, you are so talented.😊
Glad to hear your wrist is healing better. I was yelling at you to use your credit card to help glue your bits down other than your finger/thumb. Have fun on your upcoming trip. Lovely quick video.
Very lovely, thank you I do like to make empty journals; so that, writing is invited. I quite like the snail. He is perfect. I did like that blue and green beetle he is a cutie too. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy the travels, any and all you can take.
I’m new but I’m loving the junk journal world. I have made several but it’s an ongoing learning experience. I do work along with you when you do mass making. Love it.
I'm cracking up here around minute 12 because you said earlier something like "Now we're not going to go through every little thing in here, but..." and we are going through every lovely little creation for sure. 😂 Enjoying it all! ❤
Good idea! I gave a Harry Potter journal to my niece for Christmas 2022. She was thrilled. I’m not a journaler myself though, except for specific purposes.
Love your art, Ceri! 🎉 I'm one of your newer students. Lol 😆 This is not as easy as you make it appear. Right, I just carry on... thank you for your time! I appreciate you and your amazing talent!😊 Pennsylvania, Great Lakes region. 👍
Ceri: oh,-those boxes are just wonderful, especially that last one. So organized and nice to look at. I really enjoyed watching you put the ephemera into your journal. I like your concept and system. Carol from California
@@CeriGriffiths oh my. That's wonderful!!! You will have to tell us all about it in your next coffee with Ceri video! 😁 I hope you are having the time of your life. 🎉🕺🎉
I really love your journal creations and journal cards. 😀I'm trying, unsuccessfully, to get into mixed media and my efforts are pretty meh! 🇨🇦🙄 You are so organized having so much pre-made ephemera. Your videos are NEVER boring.
Alison if you’re struggling may I suggest finding a video of a mixed media piece you like and then replicate it with your own supplies, after creating a few of these you will gain confidence and start to discover your own style.
Really enjoyed this, and watching your thought processes, and now I understand what a belly band is for! It was a mystery to me! The journal is lovely. Love your ephemera box with the compartments in it, too. Have a great weekend!
WOW! Thank you so much for this, Ceri. Very informative and well done. I am relatively new to making journals, still trying to figure out my style. This journal is beautiful, not cluttered, and ready for use with the option of adding additional things as you use it! I love listening to your thought process, it helps me a lot. Thanks again. Glad to hear your wrist is well and praying your ribs are healing as well. I am fully aware of how long it takes to heal from an accidental fall.
This is anything but “basic” it’s very pretty!! Love your style. Even your organization is just fabulous! Do you have a craft room tour?? Would love to see your stash and how you organize….
I admire you. So organized, analytical (shades of geometric "Industrial Market"). "And" so creative. My Mum always excused my messiness, saying creatives were messy. 🙂 Not true...btw, enjoy your trip.
Loved watching this, never boring. Recently (sort of) moved, getting settled & organized is going REALLY slowly, so I'm not able to make journals yet. Watching you sort of scratches the itch. Thank you for sharing, love your channel.
Wow Ceri!! What a great video. I am rather new to journal making and feel hearing your thoughts taught me much, thank you. Blessings from Betty in Ohio.
It was great to see this video, what your thought pattern was to add to this new journal and to hear your plans for how you will use it. Thanks for sharing! 45:24
My goodness! You are soooooo organised! I do pre-make a few things, but then 'fret' when they haven't got a 'home'. I think I'm learning that having some 'generic' bits and bobs suits me, but I also like creating to a theme - which means I have to wait until I know what I doing! 😊🧡💚🤎
@@CeriGriffiths My brain is like a switch board. I plug in to one thing and focus on that, and then I'll plug in to something completely different, and focus on that. 😊 Occasionally, I get my wires crossed, with some interesting results. 🙃
Quello che fai è tutto bello. Imparo molto da te, grazie. Scusa per il mio cattivo inglese ma sono italiana. What you do is all beautiful. I learn a lot from you, thank you. Sorry for my bad English but I'm Italian.
"It doesn't have to be butterflies," says Cerri... he pulls out his pre-made materials and they are at least 90% butterflies 🦋 ❤🦋 It was good to see you fill a journal. Its been a while since you shown a completed project. Btw. Mark Montano recently used gel papers to make some cute paper lanterns for decorating string lights. He also love the gellie printing. Not sure if you have ever watched his you tube.
Hi Ceri, always a joy to watch and learn with you. Your videos are wonderful. I left a private post on etsy. I hope to hear from you soon. Your art adds beauty to the world. Have a wonderful day. Kamy
This is exactly the type of video I need! Love how you explain your thought process and WOW! Your collection of ephemera is gorgeous! Thank you for the information and inspiration! ♥️
Ceri....I so enjoy your videos and I always learn something from them. I'm relatively new to junk journaling and I really struggle with the whole concept. I can't seem to wrap my mind around the whole ephemera thing and what to put where? and does it match? And does it have a purpose? I don't know maybe it's a right brain thing? Anyway I seem to make the process way more difficult and complicated than it needs to be. You make it look so easy and uncomplicated. Thanks for sharing your art!
Sandy I think it’s important to state that there are no rules only preferences, I create and use my ephemera so that it’s pleasing to my eye, if you’re working to a theme some people find that easier. When I make a journal for myself I leave all of the page blank and only add ephemera as I’m writing in the journal.
I liked this walk through of decorating a naked journal. It gave me some new ideas. I really like your work. Is your purpose for leaving the sections of blank pages be for journaling or for adding things from your trip? Or a bit of both?
Ceri did you know that the page you fold in half and stitch in is called a folio? 12 folios gives you 48 pages. Thank you for such an interesting video.
Hello Ceri, just found you and really loved and enjoyed your first ever gelli canvas adventure done back in september. In the video you used a color wheel with cutouts. Is it possible to buy it or did you make it? Your videos are informational and very entertaining. I'm a new fan! Thanks
Linda I purchased the colour wheel with holes in, I believe it is made for quilters, I’m not in the UK at the moment as I’m travelling but I think it’s by a company called sew easy.
I love this video. Thanks for sharing your thought process with us, it really helped me as a new paper crafter. I love your boxes you keep your ephemera in, did you make those? If so could you share how you made them?😊
Garden sails can be both male and female. They don't have to have another snail to reproduce. Don't ask me why I remember that from biology. Probably because I remember stepping on a snail in by bare feet. The summer before, I attended my biology class. That was over 50 years ago.😮
If you take this for a travel journal, will you carry your glue with you to place your memorabilia in your book right away, or will you do it when you get home ?
Isobel the snail was on a sheet of Stamperia rice paper that I purchased a while ago, I then made it into a label, I’m sorry I don’t know what the rice paper design was called.
@@CeriGriffiths oh, just for shits and giggles, is it a big angry dog or a small lap dog and will it be bought with doggie treats? Because if it doesn't take bribes, I'm not coming. 😂😍
Just what I needed to see and definitely not boring......
Thank you Barbara
Thank you Ceri The Crafter for keeping Us Newbies in mind 🤗 it is fun and interesting how you fill your journals and I'm intrigued in all the Ephemera you have ready to go and even the unfinished one's.
"Let's not be sexist about our snails!" (yay!) Thank you, Ceri. I am a card maker enthralled by your work!
Lol
Thank you for taking us along with you. I rarely see a journal being decorated and enjoyed watching and listening to you.
Thank you
💜💜💜 I love that you make your own ephemera - then the journal is “totally” your own making.
Thank you Amy, I do occasionally use digitals or if I’ve had stuff in happy mail but I do enjoy making my own stuff.
It’s always pleasurable and educational to see your creations and hear your thought processes. Thank you.
You’re welcome

I’m very impressed with your boxes of mass made ephemera. Thank you for this inspirational video.

So enjoyable to watch. I’m building up my ephemera box by watching your channel. Making notes of which videos to watch next. Thank you, you are so talented.😊
Thank you Joyce.

Have fun Lori.
31:47 Beautifully decorated journal!!!! Your pre-made ephemera is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. Just beautiful!!!😁💕
Thank you
The stash in your boxes is amazing !
