This is one of the most beautiful Art Journals I've ever seen! Words cannot describe it. I just wish I'd have seen it four years ago. I'm now a subscriber! So glad I found you. Seriously, this journal is awesome. You put so much of yourself into it; the details, the ephemera, and all of the Steam Punk metal. You are a true Artist! Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece of Art with us. 🤍
Hello Leslie, what a great journal! I made steampunk Halloween but was not as industrial as you were! My question for you is what digital club do you subscribe to? I haven’t had much luck staying away from purchasing things for current projects. I’m a longtime stamper but I’m tired of cutesy as well as looking to finding my journaling style! Thanks for sharing! 👻📎🎃 Trish
@@Crafting_Whimsy Not sure if you're asking me (Renee) but I was subscribed to the Digital collage club but now I just get free AI digitals and papers from all the creative groups on Facebook (there are so many beautiful things to choose from!). I had also subscribed to Your Creative Studio boxes, but again, now I get a lot from Temu and Shein. Hope that helps!
I agree with The Mint Green Spaceship....you should have so many more views....this book is just lovely...so much time and effort went into making it, you work is creative, well thought out and very well put together, alot of special touches and time spent well thank you for sharing this creative masterpiece with us ...I hope more people watch and comment because you deserve it.
SANDRA GOODALL thank you! I really just started posting on You Tube, though I have been creating for years! Pass the word on! I’ll be having a giveaway once I hit 1 K subscribers!
I know you made this junk journal a long time ago.... I just found you when I did a search for steampunk junk journals. It's amazing! So cool! TYFS Cindy P.S. new subbie...
What a fabulous journal. Me and my granddaughter are making steam punk journals and we will certainly be looking to this book for lots of inspiration. You did a great job and we certainly appreciate someone like yourself sharing such great work. Thank you.
This is such an exquisite journal! Absolutely perfect and fascinating in every way. The detail and wonderful creativity is amazing. Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece.
Just found you and I have to say, as much as I was drawn in by the unique cover, the inside just continued to "Wow" me with all of your creative and inventive ways of producing a most beautiful end result! So many surprises and delightful "dives" of discoveries! Truly blown away! I also love the theme woven into what I would label vintage/steampunk! New subby! Must return to go back over all your excellent ideas! BRAVO!!! 👏💖🤗
Just found you by chance. Wowee, what a fantastic journal! Love your style. Very inventive and clever techniques. Really enjoyed your video & will look for more. You have a great way of explaining & showing your work in a very clear & nice way. TFS!
Well I can’t deny it’s cute and there is a lot of work in it but in all that there’s maybe a dozen or so complete sheets of paper to journal on. It’s like scrapbooking in journal style with a couple of places to write. I guess when I think of a journal I think of plenty of pages to write on. When I get started writing I can fill up a half dozen pages at once. More if my handwriting is bad that day. I think I might have ordered that Creative Box you have. It had a lot of railroad stuff, tickets, more stamps than I can use in a lifetime and other things. I think I kept a couple of pieces from it, don’t remember where they are, gave the rest away. But to me a journal is a tool to use for maybe writing down events of the day, taking notes on a bible study I’m listening to or sometimes just random thoughts and ideas. Sometimes it takes a while to fill one and I get nervous if I don’t have some blank replacements ready to choose from. But I think I will pass on making journals of my own since the types I’m seeing on the internet don’t seem to fit my lifestyle and needs. But you definitely did a neat job on it. Thanks for sharing!!
Yes I understand that…. Junk Journaling for me is more about the creative process versus the journaling… I have plain journals that I mostly journal in.
Omg the amount of detail in this journal is amazing, this deserves so many more views! And that middle part is to die for.. Stunning! It's like a whole other journal in on itself haha, really fantastic. I'm not even into steam punk myself but you totally made me want this journal haha 😁👍
Renee when I saw this journal on Facebook I loved it - now I have seen it "in person" so to speak I REALLY love it! It is so beautiful, you have done such a good job xx
OMG😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 The is the coolest journal I have ever seen😍😍😍 YOU are Amazing!!!👏👏👏👏 I just found your channel so I hope I will find out more about how you made it😍 it is stunning 😍👏👏👏👏 lots of love from arctic Norrway 🙌🌺🏵🌼🌹🌻
I really enjoyed your journal. So much fun. I am looking for inspiration for my journal I am starting using a gorgeous kit from Artzology. You have lots ! LOL. Is lace and sewing not a "thing" in steampunk?
Thank you!! You can do whatever you Like with steampunk… I think with this journal I was just trying something different… the journal before I used a lot of lace and sewing so this one I went the opposite direction…
Really love the way you put this togather! Super cool! How long does it take to make something like that? And house many dollars get wraped up on a project like that. I need to know if I have to talk to my banker! Lol! ❤
lol! Thank you! Depending on how much time I have to craft these journals can take me anywhere from 2 weeks to a month. And they can get as expensive (or not) as you want… you can use miscellaneous items you have around the house or go out and buy a bunch of stuff. I’m trying to use materials I already have (which is a substantial amount!) most of which I’ve gotten at garage sales, thrift stores, clearance sales, etc…
No I don't have a tutorial on the middle signature- I'll see if I can get one together for you! The monocle- I glued a gear on and then used Inkssentials (by Ranger) Glossy Accents to fill in the middle.
Each junk journal is different- sometimes I sew them in, sometimes I use elastic so I can remove pages, sometimes I sew directly into the spine so the string shows on the outside and other times I sew into a floating spine which I then insert to the spine of the book so the threads or string don't show on the spine. Just depends what I'm in the mood for or how I want the journal to look! This one I think I sewed the signatures to a piece which I then attached to the spine of the book so the signature string/threads didn't show (If I remember correctly!)
I love your journal! It's really beautiful. Steam Punk is one of my favorite kinds of imagery. One question... what are the copper dots called? I want to order some. 😊
@@marianaya5824 yes the regular round ones are called brads but some of the ones I used in this journal had little teeth all around the back of the dome and not two flaps on the back like brads. Those are the metal domes.

That is sooo beautiful! I'd never be able to write in it! Too pretty, I'd just take it out and look at it.
Lol! Thanks!! Yes that would be my problem as well!
@@renee_lovelylavenderwishes I want to make a planner/bullet type one, but it has to be much less gorgeous so I'll actually use it 😄
Apsolurly Gorgeous and well done .
Thank you!

The mint green Spaceship thank you so much for your kind words! The journal is up for purchase if you do want it!! 😉
I love all the embossing and love the journal overall!!What is your favorite embosser?
Probably my Big Shot by Sizzex or are you asking which folder I like best?
Amazing talent.. beautifully done.
Thank you so much!

Glad you like it! Hopefully it’ll give you some ideas to do on your own!
Freaking love the steam punk journal wish it was for sale and I can’t believe how much detail and hard work has gone into this it looks expensive wow
So sorry but that was sold a while ago. Thanks for the kind words! I had so much fun making it!!
Absolutely amazing!
Thank you so much! I really had fun making this one!
This is beautiful, I would love to see how people use these books.
Many use them as dream journals, prayer journals, regular journals, photo/scrapbooking, to create in, etc… then some just keep as treasures!
Beautiful amazing job.
Thank you!
Hi Renee, awesome journal!
Thank you!!😍
So awesome
awesome journal love it!
Thank you so much!!
Wow the best one ever
Thank you! I had fun doing it!!
This is the coolest steampunk journal I have ever seen. Great job! Where did you get some of the steampunk supplies?
Thank you! I usually get all my supplies from Hobby Lobby or Michaels along with Ali Express
Amazing!!!!
Very,very cool
Awww Thank you!!
Hello Love the journal! Where did you find the small hinges? The only ones i can find are for dollhouses and they are too small.
I either got them from hobby lobby, Michael’s or Amazon
Tim holtz sells some in his line too if I’m not mistaken
I really enjoyed your journal. So much fun. I am looking for inspiration for my journal I am starting using a gorgeous kit from Artzology. You have lots ! LOL. Is lace and sewing not a "thing" in steampunk?

How did you do the monocle? This JJ is awesome. Is there a tutorial on the second signature thank you 🙏 for sharing
No I don't have a tutorial on the middle signature- I'll see if I can get one together for you! The monocle- I glued a gear on and then used Inkssentials (by Ranger) Glossy Accents to fill in the middle.
That would be super. Just checked the price of the ink essential kits. Very pricey! Need to figure out something else.
I love this journal i wondering how do you put in your signature's?
Each junk journal is different- sometimes I sew them in, sometimes I use elastic so I can remove pages, sometimes I sew directly into the spine so the string shows on the outside and other times I sew into a floating spine which I then insert to the spine of the book so the threads or string don't show on the spine.

@@renee_lovelylavenderwishes Thank you so much for replying so fast, I just found your channel and I am loving your work
Glad you are enjoying the videos!!
where i can find the complete tutorial?
I have tutorials on this journal on my You Tube channel- you’ll just have to scroll through the previous videos to find the ones labeled Steampunk.
I love your journal! It's really beautiful. Steam Punk is one of my favorite kinds of imagery. One question... what are the copper dots called? I want to order some. 😊
Thank you! I think those are called metal studs or round dome studs...you can Google it and they come up..a variety of types
@@renee_lovelylavenderwishes I just learned from another video they are called brads. That's so cute.
@@marianaya5824 yes the regular round ones are called brads but some of the ones I used in this journal had little teeth all around the back of the dome and not two flaps on the back like brads. Those are the metal domes.
@@renee_lovelylavenderwishes Wow... There is so much to choose from.
Very talented
Thank you!
You've really pulled the steampunk theme together quite nicely. Keeping a journal has never been more fun! Did you make this to sell or keep?
This journal was sold. Thank you!!
Hi, What color ink did you use for stenciling?
I used a mix of the brown distress inks like vintage photo, old paper, tea dye and some gold ink I had as well
Awasome !!!!
Need how to do
I have step by step how to videos on my channel- just search SteamPunk
