Nice video!! I like the idea of having just a few things out to work with. I usually get so overwhelmed when there are too many things to choose from. I have now subscribed to your channel!
Love this. Your prep items are all so special. I have been so overwhelmed I sometimes just walk away and this helps me a LOT. Thank you I think this video was the answer to my problem of organization
You're exactly correct. I watch lots of videos for ideas but when I sit down to do it I'm overwhelmed. I get WAY too many materials out and get confused and frustrated! T Y,this does simplify things and helps a great deal.😁💙
Thank you for sharing your beautiful embellishments. You made a very good point which will help me tremendously!!!!! I usually have far too many bits and pieces to choose from in front of me, and it does overwhelm and stress me out!!!! Going to challenge myself to a few bits from now on!!! Thank you so much again !!!!! 😊
HOW SWEET are these?!?!?! I LOVE THEM!! And I totally love your idea of challenging yourself with only certain things. Sometimes I can waste so much time just thinking about what to use!! I continue to love, and enjoy, your work!! ❤❤❤
Love this, Laurie! So inspiring! Love the idea of paring down the choices. You're so right, it the most time making decisions when there are so many choices. And the bigger our stashes get, the harder it is to decide! Really great video, my friend! Thanks so much! ❤️
these are really cool and it is a great idea to do them ahead of time then you have it when you are ready to do your journal. Sometimes i do a journal page with the plain yardstick and keep adding to it.
It helped a lot Laurie. I don't know where to start half the time, making anything. A junk journal, scrapbook page, embellishments, anything really. So I just dive in and flounder for a while. Then make a plan and try to follow my plan. Maybe limiting myself to just a few items to work with will help. There is so much information out there, wonderful ideas and talented people. I want to do it all...lol Thank you for sharing a great idea.
Hi new subbie to your channel came across you from pintrest , you make the most beautiful things for journals and love the fact you ve picked bits and created from there ...you re very inspiring so looking forward to seeing more Huge hugs and blessings xxxxxxx

Probably because I'm a die hard shabby chic person I truly enjoy your channel.. Laurie, Thank you so much for sharing.. I'm a watercolor artist, but I also love, love playing with papers, making journals ..
Your ephemera is so pretty. Love it. Looks great on glassine. And love the paper clips with dangles. Beautiful work. I like your style. Thx for video. Austin,TX USA
If you don't mind sharing I would like to know where to find the hair comb die. I have searched high & low with no luck. I just love your embellishments, your JJ's & bags/wraps that you make, you are truly talented. Thx for sharing.
In 10 minutes you really gave me a feeling of, YES! I just need to grab those few things at a time & go! I'm new to all this fun stuff, so I keep feeling intimidated, and at times overwhelmed. Often feeling my work isn't good enough for much. Thanks for the feel good!
🤗 Laurie, New subbie here 🙃 ... I can't get over how fabulous your embellishments are! Sooo incredibly beautiful!! I 😍 Where did you find the designer paper that you used? Were they downloads from Etsy by any chance? And, if so, would you mind sharing the site please?!! You make me want to sit and do nothing but embellishments for a week 😊 You are very talented, I L💙VE it all❣TFS

Laurie, I loved your idea of using less of your stash at a time. I am a new Journaler. I watch a lot of the junk journal tutorials. You are so great at what you do. So funny!
Very nice. I appreciate what you said on being overwhelmed. I want to make a journal badly. I have watched several plus videos on this. But I can't seem to narrow it down and even start one no matter how it comes out. tfs
Wow! You get a lot done in a short period of time! I need to use your time management skills! Decisions, decisions, decisions make us crazy! Focusing on a few things does make good sense! Your embellies are beautiful! TFS!
Such a great idea. I have the same issue. I have tons of stuff to choose from so I get overwhelmed and just don't get much done. I am defiantly trying this. Less is more in this situation for folks like us I guess! LOL Love you and your channel! Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents with all of us. You are amazing!

Great idea. Just pick a few things and limit yourself to those. I am giving it a try.

Where do you find the hairy fuzzy trim? I’ve been looking everywhere. I’m new to this.
Vickie Griffin , Hi my daughter in law raises Alpaca and 1 year we went to a fiber festival, so I think I got it there and just saving it. Sometimes in yarn stores. Thank you.
Thank you for this video, I'm doing a swap with a lady who does junk journals so I needed ideas of what to send her.

Very pretty ephemera!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Very Nice love the tone colors
Which ink did you use on the edges?
How do you do your fuzzy stuff to keep it in a nice little bundle
Are you talking about the pink trim, you can wrap it around a piece of cardboard, or in a plastic bag.
How did you get the green on the evelopes?
Wow! they are all gorgeous! I love all the layering!
Beautiful Laurie!
So cute Laurie! 💜
LOVE these!!!!!
