I have been diagnosed with a life altering disease that has put my life in a tailspin. I was blessed to find you on here and have started this new craft and I couldn't do it without your videos. It keeps my mind and hands busy. Has brought me such joy. And hopefully when I'm gone my family will cherish the gifts I am making for them. I love watching your videos and just listening to your lovely voice.Watching your beafitiful hands. It's cathartic.
I understand how you feel and I am sorry, you are going thru life changing times! These videos have pulled me thru some tough issues with myMS . Being able to be creative with a little bit of paper and glue is so satisfying and like she says “Why Not” Keep-fighting your fight with beauty and do it for you!
I am praying for you right now, sister Robin. Congratulations on your phenomenal attitude during a time of change. It will keep you strong, friend. May God bless you abundantly on this walk ❤
I almost didn’t want to commit 49 minutes to ‘another craft video’ but glad I did. Now I know what to do with the 2 giant storage bins of 12x12 fancy papers I’ve inherited from various past lives. Your instructions are well thought out. Thank you.
I’m always at a loss for adjectives and adverbs to use to describe how much I love your videos, the projects that you make and the way you teach so I’ll just say….wonderful! Amazing! Perfect! Etc etc. 🥰
Your videos have totally inspired me to make journals. At 73 I have a few skills now with lace making, punch needle, kumihimo braiding, quilting, sashiko sewing, crochet … But never, ever would I consider working with paper! scrapbooking - oh no, I can do better than that! What a craft snob I was. Look at all the fun and creativity I’ve missed. So, I purchased your book and spent this past weekend reading it. Then it’s - Oh, oh, can I really do this? Natasha is so good - where do I start? Then Monday comes along bringing this wonderful video. You even know when we are struggling and post the right video! Thank you for all your sharing of your talent. Now, I am normally getting ready to retire with a book about now (give me a break people, I’m old and cold in Australia) but I have to go through my 12” X 12” stock papers to pick starters for tomorrow’s first session. Happy Journaling All.
The fun is, you can incorporate ALL your craftiness and skills in a journal! All the little swaps and scraps you ever made and never put to use find a great treasure chest in a little book....
This is why I love her videos. I have gotten some great ideas, and a lot of her journals seem to be designed for writing - which is my issue with a lot of the 'junk journal' community on TH-cam. ( Most of the time, the pages are all highly decorated scraps and images, and people are expected to do a lot of writing on one or two little cards or pull-outs.) I also love being able to transfer some of those scrapbooking and cardmaking skills over to something new.
💕Natasa I can't tell you how MUCH I appreciate your videos! Not only do you create amazing paper crafts, you really take the time to teach us HOW to make them too! And your videos are so well shot, great lighting, no silly intros or useless background music--just straight to class--as it should be! I have never walked into an actual classroom and had a teacher turn on background music while they teach--it is so distracting! THANK YOU SO MUCH for putting so much time and energy into your crafting and your videos!🤗I never regret the time I spend here!🤗I purchased your book on Amazon too. I actually got it in the spiral binding which makes it so easy to turn from project to project.
Hello beautiful lady!! The little things you do, inking and trimming extra paper, tape AND glue, set your journals apart from the rest. You are such an excellent teacher - a favorite of mine for YEARS! HUGS, Natasa, from the Midwest, USA, MK 🤗❤️🤗
My favourite is the "shirt" one. What I most appreciate about your videos is that you show the end product first. None of that having to scroll around in a video to see what you're actually making. So thank you 😊
Yes, yes! Show a finished one, and give the measurements, for heavens sake! Yes again to no music, no barking pets, etc. True story: A young lady, at the start of her video, pointed out how sad she was about the noticeable zit on her face (kill me now). Can you believe it?
I know right? Made one but didn't decorate the cover. Then made 4 more covers and finished one completely, with the little doors on the front!! I'm absolutely hooked!!!
Natasa is excellent at explaining every process, tips & tricks, etc. Some people's tutorials are either super fast or too slow and drawn out. Natasa has a beautiful happy medium with explaining if you will. 👏🙌👍☺. And I appreciate her sense of humor! LOVE IT! 🤣😆😁❤
I love these!! I've only met 1 person that knows what a junk journal is. After 4yrs my girlfriend told me she read an article, junk journals were mentioned... She didn't know they were that main stream. 🤣😂 These will be great intro to journals!!
I love your videos I’m a beginner and I love the humor you put in the video your great at this and my goal is to be as good as you are I’m making thirty for the widows in our church I do something for them every month and this is their Christmas present from me in the name of Jesus so Thank You so much for sharing with me
Natasa, not only do you have THE BEST paper crafting tutorials on TH-cam, you really do have the most beautifully manicured nails on TH-cam as well. I’m always noticing how nice your natural nails look, so I figured I’d just mention it! ❤😊
I was sitting on the sofa watching, then I decided to get up and make a cover. I really like the way it turned out. I like the cover with the two envelopes. It's different, and I think that is what drew my eyes to it. I'll make the signature later in the morning. It's about 2 am here and I don't want to be playing with anything Sharpe at this time of the morning. 😮
I agree with the previous comments. Your creative designs, your presentations, your videos, you’re wonderful sense of humor and use of words surely make you one of the very best presenters on TH-cam. I watch everything I find of yours.
Thank you so much Sweet Natasha, I truly appreciate your kindness and encouragement to help us be successful, and your so fun!! And I appreciate your Time also...I hope that you and your family had a wonderful holiday Filled with wonderful Memories to keep close to your heart..Have a Beautiful Blessed Week ❤
“Can and will be used against you in a court of….” Beautiful Natasha!! This is JUst what I’m looking to do to get back into my favorite craft!! Making thank you gifts for a few lovely gals. Thank you Natasha❤❤❤❤❤EASY IS KEY!!
Just gave one of these to a friend for her birthday. She loved it! She looked at each card and piece of ephemera I put in the pockets. I also made myself one using paper I dyed for the journal pages. I do lots of paper crafts.
I haven't reached minute 2 yet and I'm already totally thrilled. The beginning of your video - no long talk, just a short and crisp explanation of what it's all about - I LOVE it!
You are a very good demonstrator/teacher/explainer of "how-to". So enjoyed this video even though I don't make junk journals but can certainly apply to other tasks.
I tried making the journal today. The first one didn't turn out so good but did a couple more and I just love these. I'm going to be making more. Thanks so much for your tutorials.
I just wanted to let you know that I followed this tutorial to the letter, apart from the eyelets sadly as my setter wasn’t long enough, and mine turned out really well! I was so proud of myself but then you are the best of teachers and I thank you very much indeed. Love your videos and thank you for the time you devote to them and us, bless you ❤🏴🌻🫶🏼
Your video is timed perfectly! I had very few 12x12s in my stash; fortunately I found a 12x12 scrapbook paper Kit at a nearby thrift store just a few days ago. It includes all kinds of ephemera such as small & big letters & numbers, envelopes, tags, labels (all of which just require being pushed out of the page, not cut out... what is that called 🤔?) It also has thin paper, & cardstock paper. It's called Great Outdoors. I paid $5.00 Canadian. Instead of making one huge journal with all of these treasures, I'll make several smaller ones! It doesn't seem so overwhelming now... thank you, Natasa! 😘
Natasa- I personally liked the GOLD pen & velcro option because I like to keep a pad of paper/booklet in my truck at hand for when I'm running errands. I find I'm constantly needing to write reminders/food items/pet stuff/thoughts/ miscellaneous things down and I'm also FOREVER digging in my purse or console looking for a pen!!! I surely would keep a journal pad like this in my vehicle. 😊 👏📒🖋📃✏📙 Great idea.
I have never seen that S knot at the middle of a signature before, I love it! it looks so nice and will make me feel that the sewing i even more secure! this is a great project.
Thank you Natasha for expiring me every time I watch/ listen to you!!! Also thank you for not matching EVERY little thing you use!!! If I was introduced to journaling by someone else I would think I couldn’t afford it!! Thanks for making it possible for everyone!!
I hadn’t even realised it was so long. She is one of the few TH-camrs for whom I never skip any of the video. She is never boring and knows how to pace her videos to keep people entertained.
For the pencil/pen use a tiny magnet , you can hide under washy tape on the pen and under a round paper or such in the cover. I found some really flat and tiny at a craft fair yesterday at the GASC event in the states.
Love these! My favorite is the one with the mini journal on the front. Maybe it’s the colors it’s made of that are pleasing to me!! Thanks and sending blessings from Ohio.
My 50+ year old daughter used to say, "the most beautifulest", when she was little and that seems to say it all, thank you for everything you do for us 😊
I love this Natasha. I sometimes lose my interest in paper crafts and journaling then I watch your videos and you get me inspired again! Thank you for that!
Thank you! I want to start journaling but I was afraid to. Too many look like there’s no rhyme or reason. I want mine to have words of wisdom that I can hand down to my grandkids. Blessings, Bible verses, life lessons and words of encouragement. Yours are so creative and beautiful! I think a journal should not only be artistic but uplifting.
The reinforcement bit was new to me. Very clever and practical! Such pretty little folders! I have a feeling I will make a whole bunch of them! TFS 🤗🕊️
Love it, you are so inspirational and so incredibly gifted. I finally was able to see your video on the challenge where you shared your love for paper because you didn't have any and I loved it. I love how you are so transparent about your life and what inspired you to make journals among many other things. You inspired me to buy a sewing machine, a cheap one to start. I must say that one of your missions or calling from God is to bring much joy and happiness to so many and I know He has so much more for you. Thank you for sharing your gift and for all that you do. Yes, many may say negative things about, as you mentioned, but please know that it's jealousy talking and not facts. For what I see, you are a giver of self by sharing your creativity and by teaching with patience and humor which is a huge plus. Thank you again my dear and may God bless you. Keep these wonderful videos coming. Sending love and hugs your way. =)))
Beautiful! I love them all, but you asked for our favourites. My first choice is the red one, love the little door on the front. Second choice is the one with the pen as I like the idea of having a pen at the ready. Third choice is the one with the little notebook in the pocket. With all that being said, they are all gorgeous and I would be thrilled to receive any one of them. Thank you for the awesome inspiration, I really enjoyed this video!
Bonsoir Natasha, je suis toujours en admiration quand je regarde tes vidéos. Tu fais tellement de belles choses. C'est un plaisir de suivre. Tes explications sont toujours très clair même si je ne parle pas ta langue, je comprend tout ce que tu dis. Et tes ongles sont toujours magnifique. Merci pour tout ce que tu fais. Je te souhaite une bonne soirée gros bisous 🤗😊😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
Hello Natasa.... Thank you for your inspiring videos. I'm a longtime crafter, but have never really worked with paper. Tonight, I made my very first journal and all thanks to you!!!! Another plus, you have a rescue fur baby! Ours is such a big part of our lives. You now have a fan for life!
This was such a lovely tutorial, simply stunning and i made one, was so easy and the lady who received it absolutely loved it... so THANKS for this, i will definitely be making many more of these in the near future 👌⚘️🎶👏
When making the cover, you cut out the pieces near the top & bottom spine. What if you don't cut it all off? If you left a tab at top & bottom of the spine, then fold those tabs & glue, it could make ends of spine stronger. Just an idea. All those journal's are beautiful! Thanks for inspiration you always give us! ❤
I loved these beautiful, quick and easy to make journals. The red one you demonstrated is my favorite but i truly love them all. It is such a joy and comforting to listen to your fabulous tutorials. Great job girl, keep them coming.
When I watch your videos I feel like I’m honestly in the presence’s of Einstein, genius and greatness! 😂 You’re the Einstein for creativity! My favorite journal you made in this video was the red one with the blue butterfly ! I ❤the way you used an old 💿 cd, so smart. You are an Awesome teacher and I love how detailed you are, everything comes out so perfect, neat and sharp. 👏 😊 🦋Thank you for sharing!
Hello! Your videos are very detailed in explanation, and it makes one realize that anyone could do this. You take your time and explain very well. I've been looking for a new hobby and for something to do with my hands. My late sister sent me scrapbooking paper and some paper she made by hand. I've not really known what to do with this beloved paper, since scrapbooking itself seems kind of blah. But then I've been seeing some journal crafts and other papercrafts videos. I've really been drawn to these beautiful journals with pockets and secret places one can stash trinkets and keepsakes. I really love how they look and each one is a unique treasure. I've decided this is what I want to do with some of this paper I have. Yours is the first video that hasn't made me scared of wasting it...that I could go step by step with you and take my time and make something quite lovely. Thank you for linking your Etsy store - I see some very very lovely irresistable items in there and have favorited a couple to purchase.
Natasha, I love your tutorials. I think this booklet is so stinking cute and you think of things that I would’ve never thought of like giving the curve to the little birdies pocket on the inside of the little booklet. I love your creativity, You’re truly an inspiration. 💕😊
Natasha, your vids are definitely inspiring; it is encouraging me to use up those 12x12 Michaels scrapbook paper pads. I may tweak the bottom pockets by adding two 1/8” scored lines to give my pocket some depth. Loved all your journals!!🎉❤ Thank you so much!💜🤩👍🏾🥰🙏🏾
Good Morning, just wanted to say how much I enjoy your page, I love it!! With these times of struggling I have been trying to find projects that cost nothing or very little, you have a God given gift that gives me ideas, projects that I could use from what I have, may God continually bless you. Thank you.❤❤
These will be perfect for a Christmas recipe journal that I want to do for each member of my family. It will be big enough to hold all of the cookie recipes we bake each Christmas. It will also allow for new recipes to be added and photos added for each year. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for another fabulous journal tutorial!! Your directions are easy to follow too. I never thought junk journals would be something I would enjoy until I subscribed to your channel ❤
I could watch you create all day!! Love this idea with a 12x12 sheet. I am giving this a go for an additional little gift to go along with a crochet top I made for my best friend's daughter. Thank you so much for focusing on making lovely one of a kind journals that look great and down playing perfection.
These are definitely a mass make idea also, elevating the front pocket so you can fit a booklet inside and no fussing with gussets is a great idea.I love the last booklet with the gate fold pocket. Thank you, Natasa. 🙂♥️
I watched this video this morning and as I use a fountain pen, I attached a leather pen pouch I made using coloured split pins and a couple of stitches to fasten it to the front cover before putting it all together. Thank you for your inspiring video!
Natasa, you are a delight to watch. You are so inspiring and you give such clear directions. Thank you for encouraging us with your beautiful designs. ❤
Natasa you are the one who got me into making journals. I have migraines and nerve damage . When you said we didn't have to go and buy alot of things. That did it for me. I like some of the digitals. I don't have a lot of money. You said use what you have. Books and magazines and paper i do have. I love your voice, it comes me and you are funny. And I love your work. That you.
Absolutely love this idea I'm going to work on some today. Great idea using the tiny eyelets, now I just have to remember where I put them and probably the eyelet setter you used, yep have that too just don't use it often. Very easy tutorial to follow, thanks a bunch, Patti
I love them all, but I think the last one with the opening "doors" is most interesting to me. I like the idea of a pen, and I think the one you made is just fine. ❤❤
Your instructions are precise and perfectly explained. The little details matter. Typically, when I try an art project i find on TH-cam, i make a lot of adjustments as i go along. With yours, all i have to do is follow the steps and without any stress, voila!, it's done! Thank you! It becomes easier to loosen up and be creative with the second try.
This is such a helpfull video. I have not made a journalT yet but ready to get started. I can't seem to get my head around how to angle the cuts. I have watched people on videos doing it but still can't 'see' it. Your template that you made is very helpfull. I took a screenshot so I can follow it and hopefully get it right in my mind once and for all. I really like the look of using the ilets too on any size of spine, giving it a more cleaner finished look.
I love these journals, I am very inspired. A great easy cover that you can embellish how you wish and add your signature. Thanks for sharing, I will be using up a lot of my 12 x 12 scrapbook papers to make journals!
I have been diagnosed with a life altering disease that has put my life in a tailspin. I was blessed to find you on here and have started this new craft and I couldn't do it without your videos. It keeps my mind and hands busy. Has brought me such joy. And hopefully when I'm gone my family will cherish the gifts I am making for them. I love watching your videos and just listening to your lovely voice.Watching your beafitiful hands. It's cathartic.
Wishing you well ❤❤
You always make beautiful and neat journals. xxx😊
I understand how you feel and I am sorry, you are going thru life changing times! These videos have pulled me thru some tough issues with myMS . Being able to be creative with a little bit of paper and glue is so satisfying and like she says “Why Not” Keep-fighting your fight with beauty and do it for you!
I am praying for you right now, sister Robin. Congratulations on your phenomenal attitude during a time of change. It will keep you strong, friend. May God bless you abundantly on this walk ❤
May God bless you and keep you safe and strong. I am so very sorry you are going through this. Praying for you.

SAME!! 👏🏻👍🏼❤️

I really appreciate the accompanying white page sketch that you show. Clarifies the steps a lot.
I can already see how addicting making these will be.
It's a toss up- I like the one with the 2 envelopes and twine and the red one with the door.
Yaaaay! Thanks for watching :)

Thank you so much 😀
I’m a visual learner and loved how you used your diagram in the tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing this project with us. I absolutely love it!!!
Natasa, not only do you have THE BEST paper crafting tutorials on TH-cam, you really do have the most beautifully manicured nails on TH-cam as well. I’m always noticing how nice your natural nails look, so I figured I’d just mention it! ❤😊
and rings!
I always think the same thing!
And voice!!
And heart!

Thank you so much!
Such a great idea to use those less loved 12x12 papers. Love your no nonsense teaching style. Thank you.
Thanks so much!
I was thinking the same thing about some of my non favorite papers. Adding the embellishments on the front will totally transform the original paper.
Thank you so much Sweet Natasha, I truly appreciate your kindness and encouragement to help us be successful, and your so fun!! And I appreciate your Time also...I hope that you and your family had a wonderful holiday Filled with wonderful Memories to keep close to your heart..Have a Beautiful Blessed Week ❤

Beautiful Natasha!!
This is JUst what I’m looking to do to get back into my favorite craft!!
Making thank you gifts for a few lovely gals.
Thank you Natasha❤❤❤❤❤EASY IS KEY!!
Thank you so much!
I always fo!low the directions . I think drawing the picture as you did during your presentation made it even more understandable.
Yes, I've been waiting for it to pop up.
My Sunday night viewing in bed before I go to sleep.
It's a nice way to start a new week...
Enjoy! Thank you
You are a genius at your craft! There has never been an episode that I haven't thoroughly devoured and just want more of. Thanks, ❤Natasha.🎉
Just gave one of these to a friend for her birthday. She loved it! She looked at each card and piece of ephemera I put in the pockets.
I also made myself one using paper I dyed for the journal pages. I do lots of paper crafts.
😂😊You said "ooh look at this, Awww" Love it!! Thank you for sharing this.

I can't believe I watched a 49 minute video all the way through; so rare for me. I am so interested in doing this. Thank you for the inspiration!
I was going to say the same thing! ❤
Yay! thank you so much :)
I hadn’t even realised it was so long. She is one of the few TH-camrs for whom I never skip any of the video. She is never boring and knows how to pace her videos to keep people entertained.
@@plan4life I think it’s because we’re crafty to begin with!!
I also watched the whole video an loved every second!!!! I can’t wait to make one myself!!!
I absolutely love this project and feel the writing utensil adds to the allure of the journal...my favorite is the red with the blue 🦋
Natasha you certainly are the Queen of Queens of Treasured Books and Art . Also the most beautiful hands . Have a blessed weekend and God bless you .
Thank you so much :)
For the pencil/pen use a tiny magnet , you can hide under washy tape on the pen and under a round paper or such in the cover. I found some really flat and tiny at a craft fair yesterday at the GASC event in the states.
Whatever you do is.paper art! And such a joy to watch and try. I love each of them.

So eine schöne Idee. Ich kann leider kein Englisch, aber du erklärst es so gut das man alles verstehen kann. Danke dafür.😍💖💖💖👍👍👍
I love this Natasha. I sometimes lose my interest in paper crafts and journaling then I watch your videos and you get me inspired again! Thank you for that!
I'm so glad! Yay! We all go through those stages of losing interest :(
Thank you! I want to start journaling but I was afraid to. Too many look like there’s no rhyme or reason. I want mine to have words of wisdom that I can hand down to my grandkids. Blessings, Bible verses, life lessons and words of encouragement. Yours are so creative and beautiful! I think a journal should not only be artistic but uplifting.
Love your ideas!!
Mis cuadernos son así, con frases de ánimo, amor propio y cosas lindas, los estoy haciendo para mis descendientes 🙌🏼✨
The reinforcement bit was new to me. Very clever and practical! Such pretty little folders! I have a feeling I will make a whole bunch of them! TFS 🤗🕊️
Have fun!
Haven't made one over a year, now inspired to make another. Thank you enjoy your videos immensely!!
I rarely comment, as others have already said it all before me, so I’ll just say thank you so much. 😀😀😀
Love it, you are so inspirational and so incredibly gifted. I finally was able to see your video on the challenge where you shared your love for paper because you didn't have any and I loved it. I love how you are so transparent about your life and what inspired you to make journals among many other things. You inspired me to buy a sewing machine, a cheap one to start. I must say that one of your missions or calling from God is to bring much joy and happiness to so many and I know He has so much more for you. Thank you for sharing your gift and for all that you do. Yes, many may say negative things about, as you mentioned, but please know that it's jealousy talking and not facts. For what I see, you are a giver of self by sharing your creativity and by teaching with patience and humor which is a huge plus. Thank you again my dear and may God bless you. Keep these wonderful videos coming. Sending love and hugs your way. =)))
Beautiful! I love them all, but you asked for our favourites. My first choice is the red one, love the little door on the front. Second choice is the one with the pen as I like the idea of having a pen at the ready. Third choice is the one with the little notebook in the pocket. With all that being said, they are all gorgeous and I would be thrilled to receive any one of them. Thank you for the awesome inspiration, I really enjoyed this video!
Thank you so much!!
Bonsoir Natasha, je suis toujours en admiration quand je regarde tes vidéos. Tu fais tellement de belles choses. C'est un plaisir de suivre. Tes explications sont toujours très clair même si je ne parle pas ta langue, je comprend tout ce que tu dis. Et tes ongles sont toujours magnifique. Merci pour tout ce que tu fais. Je te souhaite une bonne soirée gros bisous 🤗😊😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
As always, it is very therapeutic. I can watch all day, especially if I need a nap. I just let your videos play.
You're the best! Thank you so much :)
Hello Natasa.... Thank you for your inspiring videos. I'm a longtime crafter, but have never really worked with paper. Tonight, I made my very first journal and all thanks to you!!!! Another plus, you have a rescue fur baby! Ours is such a big part of our lives. You now have a fan for life!
Thanks for making the journal slow enough so I could follow the process . Inspired to make these for sale at our monthly craft fair. Thanks again
Wonderful! I hope you have fun!
This was such a lovely tutorial, simply stunning and i made one, was so easy and the lady who received it absolutely loved it... so THANKS for this, i will definitely be making many more of these in the near future 👌⚘️🎶👏
You are so welcome!
Nastasa: my favorite one is the arch doors (cover). Design, colors, and creativity is perfect. Great project! Carol from California
ANOTHER WINNER!!!!! Thank you so much for your ideas, teaching and kindness. "You are one special person!" You ALWAYS inspire me.
Thank you so much!
When making the cover, you cut out the pieces near the top & bottom spine. What if you don't cut it all off? If you left a tab at top & bottom of the spine, then fold those tabs & glue, it could make ends of spine stronger. Just an idea. All those journal's are beautiful! Thanks for inspiration you always give us! ❤
I loved these beautiful, quick and easy to make journals. The red one you demonstrated is my favorite but i truly love them all. It is such a joy and comforting to listen to your fabulous tutorials. Great job girl, keep them coming.
Thank you so much for another thorough and simple to follow tutorial. I've always loved your written instructions.
Thank you!
When I watch your videos I feel like I’m honestly in the presence’s of Einstein, genius and greatness! 😂 You’re the Einstein for creativity! My favorite journal you made in this video was the red one with the blue butterfly ! I ❤the way you used an old 💿 cd, so smart. You are an Awesome teacher and I love how detailed you are, everything comes out so perfect, neat and sharp. 👏 😊 🦋Thank you for sharing!
Natasha you make the most Beautiful Things you are so Gifted Love watching you createTFS!😊
Hello! Your videos are very detailed in explanation, and it makes one realize that anyone could do this. You take your time and explain very well. I've been looking for a new hobby and for something to do with my hands. My late sister sent me scrapbooking paper and some paper she made by hand. I've not really known what to do with this beloved paper, since scrapbooking itself seems kind of blah. But then I've been seeing some journal crafts and other papercrafts videos. I've really been drawn to these beautiful journals with pockets and secret places one can stash trinkets and keepsakes. I really love how they look and each one is a unique treasure. I've decided this is what I want to do with some of this paper I have. Yours is the first video that hasn't made me scared of wasting it...that I could go step by step with you and take my time and make something quite lovely.
Thank you for linking your Etsy store - I see some very very lovely irresistable items in there and have favorited a couple to purchase.
Natasha, I love your tutorials. I think this booklet is so stinking cute and you think of things that I would’ve never thought of like giving the curve to the little birdies pocket on the inside of the little booklet. I love your creativity, You’re truly an inspiration. 💕😊
Natasha, your vids are definitely inspiring; it is encouraging me to use up those 12x12 Michaels scrapbook paper pads. I may tweak the bottom pockets by adding two 1/8” scored lines to give my pocket some depth. Loved all your journals!!🎉❤ Thank you so much!💜🤩👍🏾🥰🙏🏾
Man......I just love this quick and easy journal from 1 sheet of 12×12. TFS
Glad you like it!
Since you said they are good sellers, I'm inspired to make some
I like you journals because you can actually use them as journals
Only a minute in and I want each and every one of these! Ok, back to watching so I can attempt to make something in the ballpark!
The way I yelled YES to the blue butterfly!!!
You are the artist who inspired me to create junk journals. Thank you so much for expanding my creative mind.
I love your sense of humor!
Thank you !!
Good Morning, just wanted to say how much I enjoy your page, I love it!! With these times of struggling I have been trying to find projects that cost nothing or very little, you have a God given gift that gives me ideas, projects that I could use from what I have, may God continually bless you. Thank you.❤❤
Oh I ❤Sundays and I see your newest creation! Just another one I just have to make 😁❤️
Yay! Thank you!
These will be perfect for a Christmas recipe journal that I want to do for each member of my family. It will be big enough to hold all of the cookie recipes we bake each Christmas. It will also allow for new recipes to be added and photos added for each year. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for another fabulous journal tutorial!! Your directions are easy to follow too. I never thought junk journals would be something I would enjoy until I subscribed to your channel ❤
Thank you so much! That makes me so happy
I could watch you create all day!! Love this idea with a 12x12 sheet. I am giving this a go for an additional little gift to go along with a crochet top I made for my best friend's daughter. Thank you so much for focusing on making lovely one of a kind journals that look great and down playing perfection.
friends, pass the word along about her A.mazing book!!!! it's truly a treasure
Her Facebook group is very popular as well!
I ordered the book today!🤩
Thank you so much!!
These are definitely a mass make idea also, elevating the front pocket so you can fit a booklet inside and no fussing with gussets is a great idea.I love the last booklet with the gate fold pocket. Thank you, Natasa. 🙂♥️
I put a strip of washi tape in the inside of the spine for reinforce it before I added the eyelets.
I absolutely love your ideas! Don't be so hard on yourself, any of your ideas will be wonderful! !
Just in case the other 456 comments haven’t mentioned that you are brilliant, talented, amazing, loved this tutorial, I thought I would tell you.😂👍😂
Thank you so much :)
They're gorgeous, and so much detail goes into making each and every one.
New video! Yay!!! 😊😊😊
Hope you enjoy it!
@@TreasureBooks Also, I found a box of small mailing labels at a thrift store for only $2 US. I’ve been painting them! It’s a super fun project 😊😊😊
I watched this video this morning and as I use a fountain pen, I attached a leather pen pouch I made using coloured split pins and a couple of stitches to fasten it to the front cover before putting it all together. Thank you for your inspiring video!
Natasa, you are a delight to watch. You are so inspiring and you give such clear directions. Thank you for encouraging us with your beautiful designs. ❤
There are ... a bazillion incredible crafters, but you ARE SPECIAL 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thank you so much!!!
Natasa you are the one who got me into making journals. I have migraines and nerve damage . When you said we didn't have to go and buy alot of things. That did it for me. I like some of the digitals. I don't have a lot of money. You said use what you have. Books and magazines and paper i do have. I love your voice, it comes me and you are funny. And I love your work. That you.
Absolutely love this idea I'm going to work on some today. Great idea using the tiny eyelets, now I just have to remember where I put them and probably the eyelet setter you used, yep have that too just don't use it often. Very easy tutorial to follow, thanks a bunch, Patti
I love them all, but I think the last one with the opening "doors" is most interesting to me. I like the idea of a pen, and I think the one you made is just fine. ❤❤
Thank you so much :)
Your instructions are precise and perfectly explained. The little details matter. Typically, when I try an art project i find on TH-cam, i make a lot of adjustments as i go along. With yours, all i have to do is follow the steps and without any stress, voila!, it's done! Thank you! It becomes easier to loosen up and be creative with the second try.
You can always add the pen with a hidden paperclip and attached elastic. You are so amazing! I love these little journals!
Great idea!!
This is such a helpfull video. I have not made a journalT yet but ready to get started. I can't seem to get my head around how to angle the cuts. I have watched people on videos doing it but still can't 'see' it. Your template that you made is very helpfull. I took a screenshot so I can follow it and hopefully get it right in my mind once and for all. I really like the look of using the ilets too on any size of spine, giving it a more cleaner finished look.
I absolutely love this! Your instructions are fabulous and your designs and embellishments are just yummy!!! Thank you!
This is the very best junk jpurnal video I have ever seen . Your instructions are so precise, easy to understand and follow. Thanknyou, thank you.
I have signed up for 2 craft sales this Christmas! These journals will be perfect and lots of time to start working on these! Thank you❤️📕🇨🇦
I love these journals, I am very inspired. A great easy cover that you can embellish how you wish and add your signature. Thanks for sharing, I will be using up a lot of my 12 x 12 scrapbook papers to make journals!
