You are so inspiring! If ever I feel uninspired, all I have to do is watch one of your videos. You are truly an individual with your own thought and ideas!
i like the idea of having your stuff around where you can see them, b/c i have mines in one box under my desk, and sometimes i hate that i have to go under my desk to grab something, sorry but i would steal your idea b/c im going to have a little box next to me. Hugs from Ecuador 💞.
Johanna you are such an inspiration to me, really love recycling so I am now really hooked on journalling! I love to keep precious things to me, and a great way to keep and protect them is Journalling! Keep up the ideas please, love it, love it, love it! Thank you xx
I really liked your ideas. It makes so much sense to only use a few items at a time. I get over whelmed sometimes with to many options and embellishments to choose from.
I love the idea of cutting up the pages of scrapbook paper with the phrases and journal cards and stuff ahead of time. I also have packs of paper with stuff like that in it, and whenever I flip through, I've forgotten I have those, never use them, but when I see them I think they'd be great to use. So that is such a good idea. I think I will go through my packs and take those pages out and cut them up so they are ready to go and I see them. Thanks!!! And washi tape is a great weakness of mine too, I love the stuff, but I use it on like every page and love the variety of prints and the variety of stuff you can do with them, like you say (decoration, adding a tip in, taping in a page, taping some ephemera on, etc.)
Thank you for this helpful video! I will be able to organize things a little better now. I like the comments you made about using the pieces of your life. For a long time, I have had too many pieces that I have kept. This type of journaling gives me a way to use those pieces in a creative fashion. You were the first person I found that did this sort of thing on youtube, and you have been a great inspiration! Thank you, Johanna!
Claycat4 thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear that. It's the perfect solution to stick them down in a book and give them a bit more of a story and display! I so appreciate your support and always leaving me lovely comments xx
Thanks, Johanna!! This was really helpful in how you pare things down to work in your journal. I have a lot of sorting to do. And I like the plastic wallets that you are using. I am not doing any creative journaling now, but I hope to in the future and this will really help out. Keep 'em coming, girl!! Great video and very helpful. Thanks again!!
Mysteries of Writing if you have like a Søstrene Grene (if you are scandinavian) or some sort of "everything and anything" shop, i am sure you could find some hidden gems 😁😁
Sometimes I get overwhelmed with the amount of ephemera you have to journal with, but I remember when I was younger I used to keep similar things but never really knew how to use them; I'm sure that if I had known you before I would've done something like your journaling. I find it hard sometimes now that I'm a mom, but then I remember you are a mom of two and you rock what you do, so... I guess I have no more excuses, haha.
I love your ideas and I just sat my stapler out on my table to remind me to use it. I'm also love the clear folder you keep your stickers in, I'm always forgetting about my stickers because i don't see them. I will have to look for something like that to use to store my stuff in. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you Johanna I think i have just found what I'm looking for in my house . I'm going to recycle an book. of my granson which is quite big thank you bye. I live along way from you in Great Britain. England. xx Bye.
Hello, Johanna! Thanks for video!😉 I love to see how people organize their working space)) Now i started my own desktop organization and videos like this are very useful for me💕
Hi Johanna! Looks like we have a lot in common. 💕 I have a journaling cart too where I keep the things I want to use in my journal. After years of accumulating too many scrapbooking & paper supplies, I learned the value, as you did, of limiting the supplies I keep on hand because it can be so overwhelming otherwise. Things at one point had become so unmanageable that I put off journaling and didn't get anything done. 😞 The downsizing method has made me a lot more productive, and I enjoy journaling again. 😌 And If I get bored with what's on my cart, I just shop my scrap stash for "new" things and rotate my supplies. And I agree with you 100% on the Canon Selphy. What did I do without it??? Love that thing! Makes printing pics so much easier, and I use Pic Stitch so I can print mini photos too since I journal in travelers notebooks and junk journals. Thanks for sharing your fun video! 😘
Yes!! It truly makes all the difference to limit yourself! And every now and then 'shopping your stash' is fun because you almost forget the gems in there! Totally agree about the photo printer, it's hard to remember ever not having it! I use the app 'picframe' which sounds pretty similar to pic stitch? Love that you can create any size photo within the 6x4. Always so grateful for you support lovely ❤
TheReBookery I think that's why I love my stapler, cause I REAAALLY want to sew, and use it instead of sewing, cause I always manage to jam up my machine and I get frustrated 😓 I adore the look and feel of sewing and it's on my to do list to master! It's sooo beautiful xx
My grandma taught me a long, long time ago. I can only do the basic stitches. Just keep practicing, you will get better and it will get easier. Until then, staple on! xoxo- gina
Thanks Johanna for the tip about cutting up the 12x12s. And I'm going to get one of those Selphy printers. It looks like it will print from my tablet too👍 My 10+ year old Canon Pixma is so cumbersome and incompatible in spite of being wifi.
riteasrain it definitely helps me to have them cut smaller! So easy to forget what you have if you don't see it all the time! 100% recommend the canon selphy, the wifi works with never any issues, you can also plug in sd cards and I think a usb stick directly into the printer! Though I have only printed straight from my phone, the ports are there though 😊
Hey, I really like your Videos, because its a super Inspiration for me. Thank you Johanna, and Love Greetings from Germany❣🇩🇪 Sorry for my bad English 😅😗
Hiya, so I've been watching your videos for a while and I have noticed that you have a wide collection of things like scraps, book pages and notecards etc and I was wondering if you have any recommendations of best places to find that sort of thing? Love your videos! Thanks, Charlotte :)
Charlotte Bates - I want to downsize a bit and would be happy to gift some things to you. What kinds of things are you interested in? I'm in the U.S. Where are you?
Charlotte Bates hi Charlotte, For book pages I literally go to second hand stores and get books for 50c to a dollar, even better if they are falling apart and you can just use images out of them. A lot of my cards and scraps are just from scrapbook papers, i go for more vintage looking papers usually but I also have a variety of true vintage pieces which I have been so fortunately gifted from a few wonderful women, and found a few in second hand stores by pure luck! If you can't find any there are a bunch of packs curated by different sellers on etsy which is an easy way to accumulate a nice big variety instantly X
Like your cart idea and you can keep all the necessary materials. Can you give me more information about the Delphi photo printer. Want to get one but can’t see the name.
yes. I am. and my account is Pramita 2306. I also participated in Amity Bloom's travelling junk journal . if it's not much of a trouble you can check it out.
Great video! I love stickers and washi tape as well :)) I was wondering if you had any specific paper packs that you recommend or that you enjoy using ? Xoxo mits
hi Johanna was wondering what type of board you use for your cover. As not sure what to use as it needs to be strong could you show what you are using thank you love from England x
Helen Wyles hi Helen, I use book board to build my covers so the same type of material as hardcover books. Sometimes you can find it under 'heavy weight chipboard', it is more dense than regular chipboard X
hi Johanna thank you for replying to my question .were do you buy yours not sure we're to get it but how thick do you think it is . I'm thinking I might try eBay. sorry for being nosy lol. your books are beautiful you have really inspired me thank you. xx
Helen Wyles if you're in aus you can try the shop eckersleys otherwise i'm not sure just search for 'heavy chipboard' or 'bookboard'. Otherwise you could always try to recycle board books it's pretty similar density I think xx
6:56 What is the name of this "clear folder"? I've tried to get this in Amazon and Michaels (even googled it) but can't find them anywhere! :( The size is perfect and I need this immediately! P.S. I love your videos
Thanks for all the great ideas. I have to ask, the small spiral notebook with the clear plastic sleeves that you used to store bits of paper and stuff to write on...where did you get that and what is it called? I saw it in your craft room tour video and I have been trying to find them online and in stores but I have had no luck. Thanks.
phennec hey! The folder is called a 'display book' and it's just an a5 size folder. I got mine from Officeworks in Australia, i'm not sure the availability of it in other countries but you could always try ebay
Im open to happy mail😍 send your scraps to me!! They will be much appreciated and put to use. Beginner junk journalist here. Totally thrilled to make so many memories. Also, im hurting for money so send anything my way pleasse! Thank you 😚😚😚 I like charms too! And anything vintage!! wooh! 232 Bridgewater Drive, Savannah,Ga 31419 🤓
Melissa Test - Most fabric stores and quilt shops sell "fat quarters" (at least that's what we call them in the U.S.). They're remnants or small pieces of fabric so you can collect several different patterns inexpensively.
Your etsy messages like spam ? I sended tons of message to you but you never reply idk why dear. When your beautiful junk journals ready for etsy?We wanna buy.Greetings
zzwwz zwzw hey there hmmm the only thing I can think is if you have been sending me messages with links in them they look like spam. I will have some new journals ready soon, i'll be sure to do a video and let everyone know ahead of time before they go into my shop. Thanks so much for your support and your interest! X
Grazie Johanna ❤mi hai fatto venire la voglia di fare un libro come il tuo ❤❤❤
You are so inspiring! If ever I feel uninspired, all I have to do is watch one of your videos. You are truly an individual with your own thought and ideas!
In your favourite supplies ,when you said journal cards I was like yes!!Journal cards live on!
i like the idea of having your stuff around where you can see them, b/c i have mines in one box under my desk, and sometimes i hate that i have to go under my desk to grab something, sorry but i would steal your idea b/c im going to have a little box next to me.
Hugs from Ecuador 💞.
Karelys Joan Go for it! It helps to have everything out and ready! ❤❤
Same with me.....I have to do extra effort to get my stuffs ny placing all things one by one on floor
@@JohannaClough Yaa.....I will also do the same

Great organization

Oh I love the floral fabrics that you have! They're really pretty. I can only imagine how stunning they'll look in a journal! :D

Knallbart Thank you! I'll have to find a store like that. That's a fantastic idea! 😁
You are so organized! My stuff is a hot mess and all over the place. I am trying to get it all straightened out.
Thank you so much for this video! I think that’s what I’m missing....all my junk is here and there and not easily accessible.

Lovely video Johanna. Now I know what I should look for when shopping. Great organisation.
Hello, Johanna! Thanks for video!😉
I love to see how people organize their working space)) Now i started my own desktop organization and videos like this are very useful for me💕
Rina Sorokina Thank you Rina! I'd love to see your desktop organisation too! 💙💙
Johanna, your space must be absolutely tidy and clean. I need to get organized but I feel overwhelmed in my space right now. Ugh!
Sue~tsnbjj Oh I know the feeling which is why I try to keep it organised, otherwise I find it blocks the creativity! XO
Makes sense. I haven't wanted to craft in a long time. lol! I need to downsize first, then organize. Thanks for sharing!
