So pretty! There are no limits with these. You gotta love the fact we are recycling paper and doing our part to keep stuff from going in the landfills. :)
Thank you so much Annette, I really really enjoyed looking through your beautiful journal and your stash of books and papers and your stamps and dies too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤
She's so great. I've been following her also a long time now. I have probably watched every single video of hers. So inspiring, and she's such a hoot sometimes.
Your journal is so pretty - I do love the look of not so much "junk" but pretty things in a journal - very nicely done Annette - thank you for sharing this and great tips!!
I'm working on my first junk journal. I'm learning so much and enjoying the process. Your junk journal is more ambitious than mine. I loved your first two releases. Looking forward to the next one.
Chava, thank you so much! (And thank you for the package of goodies in the mail! I loved all the little things you sent me. I wasn't able to find your email address to write you personally.) I hope you enjoy junk journaling as much as I do. Thanks for being here again. ❤
Loved looking through your junk journal, Annette. It is really beautiful. I am not really into junk journalling because of the grunge ...... Yours, however, is pretty and colorful. Looking forward to your new release next month. We are moving to the St Louis area (from Illinois) on Monday to be closer to our grandkids. Big change, but can't wait! Will be so happy to get my craft room unpacked!
Thanks so much Marie. I prefer this style of junk journal over the traditional ones out there too. How nice you'll be moving closer to your grandkids! (I wish I had some of those) I hope all goes smoothly. Moving is such a big chore. Thanks for being here this week again.
Your video is so timely for me! I just got into junk journaling and it was great to see yours. It’s also reassuring that I can put a pretty one together and worry about “finishing” it at my leisure!
That's wonderful Ellen! I'm sure you will love junk journaling. No one says you have to complete it in one sitting. I love that about this journal. I can take my time and make pretty things little by little. I'm so happy you're making one too!
Love your started beautiful junk journal! I am wanting to make one too and don’t want to keep it fairly organized but using all kinds of elements such as yours. I’m thinking I might use mine as a place of reference for techniques and ephemera making ideas to look back at once finished for inspiration. I love experimenting without boundaries to see what happens so this would be the perfect place to record and keep those techniques and elements. Thanks for sharing and I’m super excited to see your next release! 🥰
Hi Belinda and thanks so much. I think your idea to use it as a reference book is fantastic! I may do the same. Not sure just yet. I'm dying to share that new release (including my first ever paper collection) so I can't wait either!
I do like your junk journal, my kind of junk journal. I decided to do a pretty one to, trying to pick the papers for the cover and pages. Thanks for sharing.
Wow!! Your journal is so Beautiful!!! ❤❤ And I just LOVE all of your goodies and pretties… papers etc! I love the Rice paper!! I would love to purchase some😊 I the envelopes you save to make cute pockets etc! Thank you very much for sharing all of this 🩵🩵🩵
Thank YOU so much! So happy you liked it. It's such a delightful style of book to make. I'm enjoying it very much. Thanks for watching today and leaving such a wonderful comment. I appreciate it!
I’m looking forward to seeing the progress on your junk journal. I love that a junk journal almost gives permission for an “anything goes” journal. Although mine are on the not so junky side, it’s nice to relax a bit and use the papers I have made or accumulated.
Such a pretty journal, Annette. I don't call them junk journals. I call them journals and don't put junk in them. Yours and mine are too pretty to be called junk journals. Not sure where that term came from, but I don't much like it. Thank you for all your ideas and tips. You see your stuff is not junk! Thank you and take care.
Very pretty journal. It was nice to see you can use any papers. I do not get much junk come though my letter box. I do try to the card which came with the items . But only like the pretty one. Thanks for sharing. Have a good week.😊❤
Thanks Jane. Neither do I. The junk mail I do get is pretty ugly, I must say. Wouldn't dare put it in my pretty journal. Thanks for joining me again this week.
I love your junk journal! It has a more modern look with the scrapbook paper and that is my favorite type of junk journal. I am looking forward to seeing what you add to it. New subscriber here.
This is STUNNING! AND- I have some of the same hobby lobby paper packs as you used in this journal! I'm definitely going to rewatch this and make one using those papers. SOOooOo beautiful! Tysm! ♥️
I agree - Your journal is beautiful! Did you use any special materials for your hollow back spine to strengthen it - Or were the signatures sewn straight into paper only? Thanking you so much!
Just started on this journey. Made my first junk journal but leaning towards one like this one. Pretty papers , not so much junk. I'm wondering what size this is ? Looks like you just folded the cardstock in half and went from there. Can't tell how high it is. Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see more of it.
Hi Bonnie. Thanks for popping in to this video. My junk journal measures 4 7/8" wide by 8 3/4" tall and the spine is 2" wide. The inside pages, of course, are smaller and of various different sizes, but all are less than the size of an 8 1/2" x 11" size paper, which makes it really easy to work with. More junk journal videos coming soon!
wow! thank you so much for all the explanations. I have been collecting and hoarding (although...its not hoarding if its going to be used...right?! LOL ) and trying to get started. Clearly, I should just decorate some smaller items with the hoard and build from there. loved this vid! new subbie as of last week. tyvm :)
I love how you go fast enough to keep the pace, but still show all the details. Great journal.
Thanks! That's how I like videos too, so I'm happy to hear you liked it.
So pretty! There are no limits with these. You gotta love the fact we are recycling paper and doing our part to keep stuff from going in the landfills. :)
Thank you so much! Absolutely right on feeling good, doing our part, and repurposing things! Thanks for being here.
Thank you so much Annette, I really really enjoyed looking through your beautiful journal and your stash of books and papers and your stamps and dies too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤
So happy you enjoyed it, Mags. Thanks for watching again.
I love Nik the Booksmith too!! I have been watching her for a couple years now.
She's so great. I've been following her also a long time now. I have probably watched every single video of hers. So inspiring, and she's such a hoot sometimes.
I look forward every week for your videos. Now I want to do a junk journal!! Have a great week.
Hi Jacquie and thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying this year's variety of videos. I hope you DO try a junk journal and enjoy every minute of it. ❤
Another winner! Your creative style speaks to me, I like very similar things and look forward to your weekly videos!
Thanks so much Kim! I really appreciate that. I can tell by your creations in your planner that we like the same style.
Your journal is so pretty - I do love the look of not so much "junk" but pretty things in a journal - very nicely done Annette - thank you for sharing this and great tips!!
Thanks Cheryl! I don't care for the true junk journal look, so I'm happy you like this style too.
Great ideas for junk journals. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much. Glad you liked it!
Thanks for showing your stash from thrifting. Good information.😊
Glad you liked it. thanks for watching!

Really nice journal. Love it. Getting into junk journals. Looking forward to next week ❤❤

Glad you showed us your junk journal after getting a peek last week. After watching your video, I had to buy the flora book on Amazon. 😍
It's a wonderful book, so i hope you enjoy it. Don't be afraid to cut it up. The illustrated images are so beautiful.
Your video is so timely for me! I just got into junk journaling and it was great to see yours. It’s also reassuring that I can put a pretty one together and worry about “finishing” it at my leisure!

Thanks Pam. We may have to come up with a new name for these "pretty, not so junky" journals. Thanks for watching today!
Wow!! Your journal is so Beautiful!!! ❤❤
And I just LOVE all of your goodies and pretties… papers etc!
I love the Rice paper!!
I would love to purchase some😊

Thank YOU so much! So happy you liked it. It's such a delightful style of book to make. I'm enjoying it very much. Thanks for watching today and leaving such a wonderful comment. I appreciate it!
Annette you are so welcome! I want to try small journals with faux leather. I’m ordering the We R product you showed😊❤
I’m looking forward to seeing the progress on your junk journal. I love that a junk journal almost gives permission for an “anything goes” journal. Although mine are on the not so junky side, it’s nice to relax a bit and use the papers I have made or accumulated.
Yes, anything goes. I love that too. Thanks for being here again Celine!
So pretty. Thanks for going through all the goodies you save and use.
Thanks Pam. So happy you liked the flip-through. I'm enjoying filling it little by little.
Such a pretty journal, Annette. I don't call them junk journals. I call them journals and don't put junk in them. Yours and mine are too pretty to be called junk journals. Not sure where that term came from, but I don't much like it. Thank you for all your ideas and tips. You see your stuff is not junk! Thank you and take care.
Thanks so much Carole. They really aren't junky at all, are they, when we use pretty things inside. Thanks for watching again this week.
Beautiful work, love the look of this journal- so pretty 😊
Thanks so very much!
Love this journal - thank you so much for sharing. Jill
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
I love that reader book "Here and There"!
Isn't that cool?
@@AnnetteGreen yes
Such a lovely video! Something I’ve fancied doing but never have - well yet anyway! 🤗 I might one day! Thank you for sharing! 💖
Thanks so much! I hope you give it a try someday. It's such a pleasure. Thanks for watching.

Hi Amy and welcome! Thanks for subscribing. I can't wait to add more pretty things in my junk journal soon.
This is STUNNING!
AND- I have some of the same hobby lobby paper packs as you used in this journal! I'm definitely going to rewatch this and make one using those papers. SOOooOo beautiful! Tysm! ♥️
Thank YOU so much! I love that paper too, and am so happy I didn't ditch it after hoarding it for so long. I hope you enjoy making yours too!
This journal is too pretty to be called "junk" ❤
Thanks. Let's call it my Not-So-Junky Junk Journal. 😊 Thanks for watching!
I agree - Your journal is beautiful! Did you use any special materials for your hollow back spine to strengthen it - Or were the signatures sewn straight into paper only? Thanking you so much!
Thanks! I add a layer of thin muslin fabric to the punched paper when stitching the pages. That's straight from Nik The Booksmith.
Just started on this journey. Made my first junk journal but leaning towards one like this one. Pretty papers , not so much junk. I'm wondering what size this is ? Looks like you just folded the cardstock in half and went from there. Can't tell how high it is. Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see more of it.

Hi and welcome! Thanks for subscribing! Yes, just get the base of the book done and let all the little fun follow.
Excellent advice. Wish I'd done that from the beginning before the "hoarding" started. New to your channel. Enjoying it

Do you actually journal in this book or is it just pretty to look at?
Eventually, I will journal in it. For now, it's just a fun process of building and adding on to.
