"if something speaks to your soul, even if you don't know why, it's worth putting it in your journal. Everything that you like is worthy."
That was beautifully inspirational.
You just inspired me to rip pages from magazines in waiting rooms.
😅😆
Lol
😂😂😂😂
I will write this quote in my journal! very inspiring
Jas DD, можно просто делать фото журналов и не рвать их:)
I really like the 'junk' style of your journals.
We are precious in His sight. God sees this. Check out my art journal testimony th-cam.com/video/aRTRGoqWXLc/w-d-xo.html
Angz Hamz they’re just journals, you don’t need to make it religious
Simran Pandey but they can. :) It’s theirs, only the sky is limit to do what ever they feel like to.
Nope Nope yeah they can of course, but no need to bring it up when no one needs it
Heyyy!
NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL CREATIVE you’re putting your mind and everything in your brain into something physical and it’s amazing, it’s art, it’s beautiful.
Oh how I wish I had known about this when I was young. I think of all the many, many things I've forgotten because of bad memory. It would have been so fun to have a bunch of full journals to look at now. But you have inspired me to start now. My grandchildren are still young so perhaps I can still create a few journals with memories of me for them after I'm gone. Thanks so very much for this lovely, inspiring video!
Terry Owenby this is so sweet, yes! Journaling with your grandchildren sounds like such a beautiful and cute activity :)
It's never too late to start something new. 💕
begin now:)
I love this! ❤️❤️❤️
Same problem here, all my precious pictures are in boxes and sometimes its even hard to remember which one of my children is on the picture. :)
I always tell the children, do something with pictures , paintings and other things from the children. It is the only thing I regret now that it is somehow too late.
But I make a journal about me, my thoughts , old familypictures (there are not many) . And I do a journal about the things I do now with the grandchildren.
But yes, I should have done(known) it before..........
Thank you so much for making this video. It's been saved in my "inspiration" playlist for a while now. Two Christmases ago you inspired me to hang on to a gift tag from my grandma, with her handwriting on it. That was actually the last Christmas we had together before she passed, so having that tag taped down is the most meaningful thing in my journal so far. I wouldn't have even thought about saving it if it wasn't for your videos.
I can't wait for 100 years later and people will see your journal :) imagine that creative artwork!
I've been keeping all this different things for years, without knowing exactly what do with them, some strikes on photo albums, but the rest just in a box....and now I be discovered such a wonderful world(not coomon in my country O guess) and people like you so inspiring...THANK U♥️
Johanna, you have no idea of how much you have inspired me in the past few years. One of your videos is the reason I create journals today. Your style and creativity are so inspiring. Once again, beautiful video.
Sheila Y thank you so much Sheila! ♥️☺️
Agreed, Shiela
She Inspired me too
Never give up
So many wise words and actions from someone so young. Bravo Johanna, you are one of life’s shining stars.
LISA J MASCORD thank you so much!
Johanna - You are the first junk journalist I watched on TH-cam. Not sure how I found you but I'm so glad that I did. You are such an inspiration! I was able to purchase one of your journals as a gift for my daughter's wedding. Now, a little piece of your creativity lives on the other side of the world filled with her wedding memories. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful video.
All I could think about was that one day someone may find one of these journals and think: "Wow. I'm holding a person's whole world in my hands." 🌿
That's what got me started. A mixed media artist had just passed away and her journal was on view at a scrapbooking store selling her studio supplies. I'd never seen an AJ before. It changed my life!
Is true. God has blessed us with a way to be a blessing. BTW, check out my art journal testimony at th-cam.com/video/aRTRGoqWXLc/w-d-xo.html
This gift of yourself that u r sharing with us is helping me through my heroin addiction, repeated failures at managing my chronic pain legally, and my depression, anxiety, & the loss of my kitty. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. ART & PASSION=JOY & LIFE.
I pray you will overcome all the hard things in your life and that one day they will be nothing but bad memories. I pray God sends angels to help you along the way and that He sends strength to keep fighting and love and joy throughout the process. Big hug to you
I love the tea bag and pressed flowers idea. You've also given me ideas on what I can do with some of the things I've kept that are currently stored in boxes. I wish I'd seen this video a year ago then I may not have thrown some things away. I'm going to think twice now! Thanks for sharing.
Same here. I keep my souvenirs in a box. But now i am thinking of adding them in a journal.
i really enjoy the calm atmosphere. most people on yt are so dramatic or just want to sell you stuff. I really like the music
Wow, this is so beautiful. The way you perceive memories and day to day pieces of life brought me to tears. I’m about to be 35 and wishing I’d been doing this all along as opposed to just writing entries here and there, over time. Thank you for the lovely, inspiration💝
The music, the flip throughs, your calm voice, the ideas... I LOVE this video. Thank you for your inspiration as always, Johanna! ❤️
I used your diy journal videos.
I used this video to fill that journal
You have filled 3 years of my life with the joy of journaling
You are such a remarkable, inspiring woman.
Oh my God. On the one hand, I find it fascinating when journals look this messy because, you know, who cares. On the other hand, *I* actually do care and the perfectionist in me is screeaaaming lol
haha now I know I'm not the only one😅
I’m the 2nd one :>
Thank you for this. I'm having a hard time to put in making my 1st journal and that's simply being yourself. Thank you for sharing this. It means a lot to me.
Johanna, thank you for sharing your heart.... I start and stop journaling because.... but now you have given me “new” ideas! Thank you
You are amazing. It's like I have got permission to do anything anyway in my journal. Sometimes, before pouring my thoughts onto a sheet of paper, i tend to think or sort of restrict myself from scribbling whatever or draw or anything that's not conventional and straightforward. This steals my heart. So raw, so pure and beautiful 💌💐
2:01 - Brilliant idea for items "floating around." I have a lot of those & never know what to do with them. Thank you!
Thanks for this video. I think sometimes I get so hung up on the making of the journal I forget they are there to be filled. You also reminded me that every page doesn’t need to be a perfect piece of art, just a momento
I've kept journals since I was a teenager. It's such an important part of my life. Watching your video has given me great ideas on how to make my journals more beautiful and interesting. Thanks a lot! I love your work :-)
Thank you. You've just inspired me to make a junk journal for myself instead of everyone else 🥰🌟🌈☮️
This is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen. Your voice is so calming and the light music in the background makes it so much better. The aesthetic is amazing.
Thanks for such a nice demonstration of how to use our journals. We are leaving bits of history behind when we journal. I am blessed to have my Mother-in-Laws scrapbook/journal that she made in 1941 where she documented her trip to NY as the winner for Nebraska of a DuBarry Cosmetics contest. She actually won the Contest but she has pictures of some of the ladies and comments on what the hair dresser said to her about her beauty. She posted Play Bills from the Broadway shows they went to. She talked about the trip out and then also put in all the magazine ads that displayed her after she won. It is a treasured keep sake. Sadly we have no one to pass it on to when we are gone, so I hope someday down the road someone sees it, and recognizes what a treasure it is. I displayed it at a family reunion last summer and it was the hit of the event. Thanks again for your inspiration and reminder that our journals are important representations of ourselves.
This is inspirational. The best part is that you take bits from your every day life and record your journey. It's not like other journaling styles where the artist buys random thrift items of a shelf. You are recording your story with the tea tags you used or list made by your hand. This is beautifully done. Thank you
Thank you for all the ideas. I love the way your journals look after adding your "life". It adds to the junk journal feel.
"Everything that you like is worthy."
❤Needed to hear this. You're always an inspiration!
When I stumble away from journaling, I can watch one of your videos/hear your calming voice and be recharged to create again. Thank you for that! Blessings to you and yours.
Absolutely spot on vedio. You articulated every sentance perfectly, your feelings. I understood your body mind and soul. Thank you!!! That is what a journalist in a journal is striving for. Girl you got it going on and it shows. After your video I have a clearer picture of my journey.
Hi! I have always been fascinated by your journals! They are so decorative, yet, full of personal touch!!! It's also "neat" and presentable!!! I've actually made two journals with your style, and believe me, I was "struggling" to make it, but enjoyed every second of the moments! I'm so touched by the way you put your "children" in your journals; they are so beautiful, like mom! I hope you continue to design journals for us to enjoy with, and, of course, for your enjoyment!!! My blessings towards you, and your endeavours!!! Thanks again!
I really enjoyed this journey through your journals. Traditionally I have been a writing type of journal user. Then a while back I saw a written journal combined with doodling. I LOVED it. I see so many recycled journals that are lovely, but the applied use of them hadn't been as practical as what you have here. I knew I wouldnt make use of it in those ways, so I have limited my use of recycled art to making greeting cards. I really love your ideas! I feel like I have finally found a way to use art journals in a way that appeals to me in this video. I think I like it because it is journaling, smashbooking, scrapbooking and memoirs all rolled into one.Thank you so much for posting it! I will now go binge on the rest of your videos!!
I just discovered junk journaling. I am on my journey to create my very first journal. This video is so helpful. You have given me simple ideas that I can accomplish. Some videos of ephemera and pages have overwhelmed me but you make me feel like anything I create will be just perfect. Looking forward to more of your videos! Thank you!
I love your journals. I’m new to this craft and I’m addicted. It’s very healing for me working with paper and writing. Thank you
Beautiful video. My maternal grandmother wrote the details of her day in journals purchased for her as gifts. My mother & I are blessed to have some of them and this video has inspired me to read them. Paternal grandmother purchased a specific yearly diary in book form that was sold at the old Woolworth drug store. I did not find any when I cleared out her condo after her death BUT I did find several 3-ring type notebooks we used in school when I was in high school where she jotted down info after seeing her doctors, etc. I do have those as well. I am a writer and began keeping little diaries with the cute locks when I was in elementary school. I continued in various forms through my life and do have those as well.
One of my "careers" was teaching application software, including the operating system DOS, to adult non-credit class students when the first IBM clones came out in the mid-80's which launched me into the information age. Way before the advent of "blogs" there was a site called "Open Diary." I enjoyed it immensely; one could decorate their diaries with various artwork, fonts, music - all done with HTML before "drag and drop" artwork. I began writing in the 80's and through it have met friends with whom I am still in contact. Although that my diary still exists at that site, I discovered "Bullet Journals" that appeal to my minimalistic lifestyle and have been experimenting with it for the last year+ The end of last year I stumbled across junk journals and, although I love their beauty & creativity, I'm not artistically-inclined. THIS VIDEO pulled everything together in my mind!!! There are no rules - I can combine my bullet lists, thoughts, appointment schedule WITH clippings and photos I've kept for decades. I am so excited and, again, thank you for these ideas!!
Just revisited this video for some reminders on all the things my journals can be used for! Simple and helpful!
Love this. It seems therapeutic and a good way to share your soul.
Johanna your journals are works of art. Thank you for sharing your processes with us.
I absolutely love the way you journal! It's absolutely satisfying seeing the amount of stuff you put into your journal. It's also lovely to see someone who isn't afraid to make a mess. Guess I'm biased because my journal is quite messy as well, lol.
Oh my gosh Johanna, you provided so many quote worthy sayings here. I am going to rewatch and write them all down--and put them in my journal! This is definitely published book worthy pictures and writing. Thank you!
I'd never thought I could do something like that. So artistic and amazing!!!!!
Thank you for putting this together! I’m making a first journal for my granddaughter, and this list will go into her journal to give her guidance. I know this will help her to enjoy her new journaling hobby.
I think is one of my most favorite videos you have done it was so inspiring and I often wonder what to put in my journal because I'm afraid to mess it up but the mess is part of life too not just the pretty things. Thank you for this video.
I’m making journals but not using them, this really has inspired me.
Amen.
I’ve been in a funk. Thank you for the inspiration. Your journals are beautiful.
this is so inspiring, I'm an avid art journaler myself! I kept laughing though cause I can picture mseylf be like," yeah I should put that in the journal, here, this left over chicken and pizza from last night, stick that in the journal, on look how sad, my kitten died! I'll put that in the journal too!* swish smack swash* trying to close the book*." and then before you know it "in the NEXT EPISODE OF HOARDERS!" * image of me on the screen with me fiercely defending myself," these are NOT JUNK they are my memories* you can't actually see me in the video you just hear a voice coming from the midst of STUFF EVERYWHERE I'm buried under...
I started hand writing in my journals many years ago. After I got my first computer I entered everything into the
laptop. Now I am trying to catch up by entering all the many years hand written into the laptop. A big job
Seeing your handwritten journals with all the memorabilia inside I am drawn to want to do the same. You do beautiful work!
It's an "all-in-one" journal and I love it!
This video has so much inspiration throughout whilst also providing little details of 'how to' add extra dimensions etc. Your journals are so filled with wonderful memories, words & so much more. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
This is one of my favourite journaling videos, I have ever watched. I think this was due to the fact that even though you have talked about lots of different ideas... it was presented in a simple way.
Your voice, your art, your talent of creating, you inspire me and help me relax! Thank you Johanna! 💛
What gorgeous journals! So inspiring... I have just discovered this wonderful world, noticing how my path's live have brought me right here, as I keep tons of paper memories or just papers that I love ...
Thank you for be so inspiring
Sheila said it perfectly. You really do inspire me. I have watched this video several times and still catch new things I missed before. Thank you so much !!!
This vid almost made me tear up a bit 🥺. Thinking how much meaning those pages have. So much emotion and special moments are captured in your journals. This is a priceless treasure you're giving to your family. I've collected a lot of nick nags since forever and sometimes I don't know what to do with them, you inspire me to put all my artwork into a beautiful book. Thank you for posting and sharing your work with the world. You make it a better one by filling it with hope & positivity
Thank you for making junk journaling so interesting, beautiful and simple. Iv wanted to make a journal but didn't know where to start, this video has convinced me to go for it 😊. I love what you do x
I have watched a lot of journal video's to get inspired but none of them really did inspire me. But this video is fantastic! Thank you for the inspiration!!🧡
I always try to journal but I get sick of it, now because of you I can try new and creative ways to journal that might keep me interested in it
Johanna, this video was so beautiful and sincere. Thank you for sharing and for all of the inspiration you've given me through your channel. ❤️
I just chance upon your video today, and I love how your journals are raw, honest and so beautiful, especially the handwriting. I get a little flustered when I can't do those perfect calligraphy or font styles like all the other instagramm-able ones. So this video is really encouraging for anyone to just be free to express yourself, even with your own "not so fancy" handwriting. It makes your journals so much more personal.
I feel the same way. I keep a bullet journal but have the type of handwriting that I often can't read a day later...and let's not even talk about my lack of artistic ability...lol. But this I can do!!!
I just happened upon junk Journaling! Can't wait to just use stuff around the house. You are inspiring me now!
Though I'm late thank you anyway for sharing this. I'm almost 50 and write journal since my 15th birthday. When I saw your collection of teatags I was reminded of my busticket collection. They were so pretty and not much bigger then poststamps.
Thank you... you continue to inspire me and give such great ideas. When I think something is too silly out in my journal you give me the reason why it fits 100%. Thank you for all your time and talent that you share!!
Happy New Year Johanna hope you do more this year, you were my first inspiration to start a journal!
All I can say is you are so incredibly inspirational. Your heart goes into this beautiful way of preserving your thoughts and memories. Thank you!
Often times I sit in front of blank pages because I can't think of anything new to put in my journal. But your video has inspired me to do more. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, ideas, and creativity. I'm actually anxious to tackle mine.
I was actually looking for this video after watching tens and tens of art journaling and junk journaling This one was the one that I was looking for Thank you.. 🙏🏽
Johanna, I love your journals and ideas!! They are true "scrapbooks" with all your own memorabilia straight from your heart!! Thank you for reminding me I should be adding these ideas in my journals!! xoxox
I have a special leaf I wanted to put into my journal and I found that laminating it worked a treat! Love your videos and this one is super helpful!!
Wow your junk journals are so pretty and full of nice stuff I need to collect stuff to put in mine to
I love your journal s...I'm 57 and after making 2 journals for my little granddaughters to fill up ,I have started one for myself...I love all types of art a I find it relaxing having a disability and constant pain... So I would like to thank you for taking your time to make and share these videos of your beautiful journals. 💜💜
Love these journaling videos you've been doing, Johanna -- they're works of art in themselves (not to mention the beauty that is your journals). Thank you for taking the time to create these, they're moving and inspiring.
I like all your advices and tips in this video. Your journals are so chunky and I love it. I haven't made a jj like that because I am just a beginner but I made a mini real "junk" junk journal. I have kept many paper souvenirs that I could include in my future jj. Thank you for sharing.
For some reason this was so calming! The music was so peaceful!
Wow you've completely blown my mind! How beautifully you create these wonderful journals. You have made the connection I needed regarding the purpose of them. When I have this, it seems more genuine. That is how I create anything with a purpose. When I don't have that it becomes too out of focus. I'm all over the place. I usually create jewelry and have been in a long slump with it. Your video got me out of this slump. Thanks alot
Oh my goodness Johanna, you know I treasure ALL of your videos but this has just become my absolute favourite - brilliant, creative and heartwarming. Thankyou for sharing and for the inspiration. I especially love your words "If you have enough of something to make a collection it must be some sort of theme in your life" and the idea of including anything that "speak to your soul". Seeing your use of keepsakes from the garden made me smile because I still have the first rose my husband gave me and the autumn leaf I picked up the day our first grandchild was born. Sending warmest wishes xoxo
This was an amazing and inspiring video. After the video, I scavenged my recycle bin and pulled out so many things I thought were useless, but look beautiful in my journal.
Journals are so beautiful and creative it looks like you truly enjoy doing them. I'm sure you are inspiring too many. I always have a challenge finding enough cool things to glue into a journal. And I always have the challenge of just relaxing and letting it flow onto the pages. I hate that I feel like everything has to be symmetrical or color coordinated or related in some way in order to be considered art on the page I wish I could just let it flow into these beautiful junk journals
Love this so much! Love seeing your beautiful journals, how you use them, and most of all the journaling philosophy behind them. That speaks to me so much!
I’ve started to journal again and am loving to write i started to fill one as a kid when I was about 10 and started another one but didn’t finish it but started again so therapeutic and fun and it’s fun to actual write
Why did I get emotional watching this?! So perfect!
I love your journals! So inspiring! My husband and I just got back from Hawaii to celebrate our 25th Anniversary! 😊 I saved our airline tickets, receipts of local shops and restaurants in Hawaii we don't have in California, I took so many pictures of the natural beauty of Hawaii and even bought cute stickers at this Japanese gift shop, they had the cutest merchandise! I want to start a journal for me and my husband's journey of our marriage and one for all the wonderful places we visit in the states.. I'm very passionate in everything in my life. Thank you for sharing and now I'm so excited to do this! Thank you! 😊💖
Thanks so much for sharing all these ideas. I make day books too like yours but your video can really help people who just aren't sure how to fill the books they make. Well done You. Gloria🐂
Watching your video filled me with warmth and happy feeling. Thank you for sharing this. 😊
I like to write lists of plants I"ve grown, and gardening notes. Adding information about hobbies is fun. Same with writing "what I want to learn about" lists. Or book lists, or movies to see..lists.
What you are saying about collage is so true! I noticed that, for example, I would have totally choose that glittery golden circle from HAIGH'S for my collage because I love bright symmetrical things, but you choose a different one. Clearly, there's something about it that resonates withing us, even if it we don't think about it.
Thank you for the tips, I find journaling very helpful but had never tried journaling like this. I'd really like to give it ago
Beautiful way to journal. I’m not creative but I like the idea and I’m going to try it.
I just love this! You both inspire and validate this art form. Thank you!💛🧡❤️💙💚
This is an amazing video. I make my own journals and at the beginning didn't really know how to use them. Then I started doing some of the things that you do. Adding the "stuff" of daily life and now my journal seems to be coming alive. You've given me some new ideas and inspired me to continue. Thank you.
Yes....have made mine too for a long time So glad for the things I have kept. Treasures forever.....love yours too.
Yes. I love journaling so much. You’ve inspired me to start making journaling videos again. It’s so therapeutic. Your journals are beautiful and come together really well.
You have no idea. I have gone through so many videos to find what I want, this perfect. It’s hard to find.
I have made several.journals but so far not one for me..my next one will be min e and now I have some ideas of how to fill it. Thank you !!
Johanna THANK YOU for this video. Some how it gave me permission to record in ways other than lengthy written entries. So many great ways to utilize a journal. ❤️
I use Frankie mags to help fill in my journal. I just love your journalling techniques; very meaningful. Thank you.
Excellent ideas! I don't do some of these things, but now I can't wait to try them! Thank you!
Johanna, I have been watching your videos for quite some time now and have created journals to give as gifts. I recently have made my first junk journal for myself but have been reluctant to "jump in" to use it. I can't begin to describe how valuable your guidance has been, how comforting, inspiring and helpful. This video in particular feels like an opening, an invitation, a path that is accessible from where I stand as an eager beginner. Thank you from the depths of my being. Your contribution is immeasurable. You matter. Hugs.
Your journals are so beautiful!! I am getting so much inspiration from your videos! Thank you!
