Interesting! I've used envelopes - but not like this, so I'm delighted to learn this technique. It surprises me that so little glue is needed. Thanks for starting us off, Kelli!
Junk journals are made from anything and everything. You can take a new envelope and distress it, crumple paper and add ink. That is the beauty of the junk journal process.
This is so fun. I have begun to try to complete my own "journal." I love the pockets because I can put in the tiles related to the the Advent Calendar. There are 8 pockets, so I can complete the set and I can put my own imagery on the outsides of the envelopes. What a great idea!
This has been fun! I'm looking forward to what each day brings as we build our journal. Now i have to choose which "junk" is special enough to live in this book.😅
My very first JJ! So much fun. Only step I took besides everything you did was run an alcohol marker around the edge of the cover photo after cutting it so it was even more worn/rustic looking. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s video!
I love junk journals. Even seasoned junk joyrnalers can get new inspiration from all the ideas and then expand on the embellishments. Thanks Kelli! FUN FUN FUN!❤-N
As a teacher, I too lost some earrings. My students started making guesses on whether I would have matching earrings on when the day started. I often wore mismatches.
Don't squeeze the glue to get the plug off, glue shot out and a stream landing on me my project, keyboard and monitor. I got to do some cleaning. lol It's fun to laugh and just do the next right thing. Lesson learned. 💞💞💞
Junk journals are made with junk. Not new stuff. Junk journals are made with things that otherwise would hit the recycling bin. To use things that you don’t have to purchase. Such as tea bags, don’t forget to tea dye your papers. Packaging. Such as Kleenex boxes. Cardboard boxes. Tear them apart and use the corrugated middle. Stamp the lines on a page to journal on. If you need more ideas let me know. But don’t spend money on things. Look around your house.
How fun! I ordered two kits one for my sister and one for me but I only received one. And there doesn't seem to be a way to track my order. I sent an email to inquire about my order but I haven't gotten a response.
Not a Christmas celebrant, but will use my 5”x7” extra envelopes and make a 2025 ‘junk Zen-journal’ Cool idea Kelli’🎉

This was a great lesson. I was today-years-old when I learned of junk journals. Brilliant! ❤ Excited to see what tomorrow brings!!
This is going to be fun I can tell. Love the envelopes as 'pages' such a cute idea!
Such a simple idea - I love how it works. I'm glad it's not just me that struggles with knots :) So excited to make my first junk journal
How fun!! I love this. I'm excited to keep going!

I have done many mixed media journals and tons of scrapbooks but never a junk journal. Thanks, Kelli for my 1st Junk Journal!!! Awesome!!!

I didn’t order a kit because I was just going to do everything in my notebook. But this looked so fun! So I made a journal. All ready for tomorrow!
How gorgeous! I hope my kit arrives soon! 😢
Looks so fun! Can’t wait till my kit arrives! I have collected way too much ephemera!
So excited!
OMG! I love mine! Thank you soooo much for doing all you do! Can’t wait until tomorrow!
So happy you are doing this!!! I will have to pull together some stuff.
Loved making this! It’s already cute!

I had a box of envelope leftovers. This is a great way for me to use them.
@@ChrystiLoveYep as a card maker I have loads of envelopes!! Just let’s create and have fun!!🎉❤
Hi Kelli
Is there a way to send you a “coffee” to thank you for all of your time - you have brought a lot of pleasure these last few months.
I love this!! Thank you!
❤️
Love, love this!!❤ Thank you!!!🎉

This is so clever! It’s magical,haha. Looking forward to the month
Soooo cute! Excited to start creating!!!❤
This is very exciting. Good for Christmas cards or gifts 🎁
Like the envelope journal🎉❤🎉
Awesome start 😊👍 Thank you for showing me a new thing, I love it 😉
What a smart idea. X
Thanks!
I made my hole just big enough to fit the knot through without having to untie and retie. I am horrible at creating knots!
It’s 1am and I just finished making my journal. Watched the video. I wasn’t sleepy so I went ahead and did the assembly.
