Just found your channel the other day and have been binge watching the "Big Book" series. What I appreciate the most about your videos is the ability to watch your thought process. I also like how "slow" they are so I can craft along with you. I usually have to pause instructional videos often, but with yours I can just craft along. Thanks!
The very best advice ever given to me by another artist was to keep a running journal and sketches of everything that even sort of interests me. One year later and 4 beyond stuffed composition books later, I use them almost every day. I create, paint, collect, dream about and design in them all the time. They have their very own special bookshelf and when I get something in one of them, I really like, I open it to that page and use a large standing photo holder...kind of like a small easel, to display spreads one page at a time. If you catch it around back to school time, you can get compo books that have a dot grid and there is no worry about covering up lines. I know Walmart has them. I do double the pages and I won't say its perfect, it works very well for me!
What a lovely idea and a great story. I’m finding this process is also freeing up some “head space” since I can let go of the idea once I set it in the book. Thank you for sharing your story. ☺️
I didn't understand what the book of ideas was. I was looking for ideas on your channel it finally clicked in my brain 😂 now I understand and will get abook started. I'll be watching all the videos in this group and working on a book for myself.
Such a good idea because I watch all of your videos (and everyone else, tbh 😃) and see all of the neat ideas, turn around and forget. Sooooo…. It’ll be my JJ brain! Tfs ❤️
I love your videos. Waiting for my friends cereal box, that I will not be giving back, lol. That cracked me up. Currently working on a Little Gilden Book jj. Came to your TH-cam for junk envelope idea. I will be following this series. Thanks for sharing.
Hi there 👋, I'm a new subscriber. This is already on my ever growing mega long list of projects to make. I really love the idea of making it pretty as well as useful. Thx for sharing.😊😊😊
Great video. Really comprehensive explanation of how to make a journal cover. Thanks for sharing! I'm watching from England 🏴 You have a new subscriber 😊❤
I'm going to catch up. But I'm going to use a Nancy Drew book cover, so much smaller. I've wanted to do one of these for the longest! You gave me the kick in the pants that I needed! Thank you! ❤
Hi! I just discovered your channel, and I’m so inspired by this video. I love the idea of creating a BIG BOOK of Junk Journal Ideas and plan to follow along to make my own! Do you have any plans to start a new series in January 2025? Thank you for sharing your creativity-it’s so motivating!
I love 12x12 paper but wouldn’t it be great if they had 9x9 paper instead of 8x8 and 6x6 for the smaller versions of the 12x12. So many times you lose the great framing they did on the big sheets if you cut it down to 9x6 for jjs
I am brand new to junk journaling so I’m gonna ask a stupid question. Is there a reason why you don’t fold those flaps on the cereal box edges and glue them down for extra support instead of cutting them off? I just found your channel and I’m excited to learn all the things! Beautiful paper btw!!
This is my project for 2025. Im so glad you made this. I will be watching all these.
You are going to love making this journal!
Love the idea of a Book for ideas and inspirations
I’m so glad ❤️
I need one of these! I see something I like, say “ooooh, I’m making that!”, and forget it as soon as the next “ooooh!” comes along
😂 Right?! It is fleeting when I see the next thing. It’s a great resource. Thanks for dropping by!
Me too! 😊😊😊
Ooooh 😮❤

Yes but then we all have to go buy more paper pads. Oh wait! Yes what a great idea!!🤣

I just find they are not consistent and actually the cereal box is quite sturdy on its own.
