Another great source of labels is the advertising sections of magazines, cross stitch quilting etc. even the branding and logos from current magazines can make fun labels.
You're so right! If I'm making something with a contemporary flair, I often save weekly flyers from grocery stores, too. Great label potential! Thanks for watching!
Brilliant! I have so many beloved botanical paper pads that are nothing more than scraps now. A rainy day with my scraps, stamps, and fussy cut scissors is in my near future. TFS!
I love all the interesting ways to diy labels. I really hadn’t thought of making labels from the off cuts from book pages. I’ll feel less guilty now when I cut a focal point but leave great foliage behind.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this. I actually have a post coming up next week about how I harvest books to pick up all sorts of things we might otherwise overlook, so I hope you'll enjoy that one as well!
There are so many beautiful digitalis but I only have a black and white printer, so I really appreciate your helpful ideas…I am subscribing to your channel for more!
Thank you so much, Leeann! Yes, I do go to Office Depot once or twice a year to get things printed. I like supporting the artists when I can, but honestly there are so many other things to use in our journals that I don't see the need to bother with a color printer myself. That's just my take on it. Have fun, and thank you so much for subscribing!
Inspirational. 👏 I just had one of those - "Why didn't I think of that" moments! 🤣 I will never look at my label stamps or book page scraps the same way. Thank you so much.
I love the idea of stamping on a sheet with several labels... so cool! I have a yellow pages book that i can harvest some “labels” from. My favourite way to create framed pieces (resembling labels) is to glue (with cheap clear school glue) thin cutouts (from newspapers and such) to pieces of old t-shirt, let it dry completely (overnight) and then cut around with a “frame”. Recently i made a bunch of faux postage stamps with hair thinning scissors and fabric-framed them the above way. I cut out images of framed art from a free magazine for those postage stamps. Love them.
What a fabulous tip, Lena! I'm fascinated by this! Thank you for sharing! I do have some hair thinning scissors somewhere (like many people, I got them during lockdown in spring/summer of 2020 when we couldn't go get our hair cut!). Super great ideas, I appreciate your sharing!
I love this video and how you give so many options. Not everyone has all the supplies and it's great to use what you have to create something beautiful. The longer I watch the better it gets! I never thought of stamping images (not words) on to labels! Thank you for sharing.
I don't have a colour printer so I have to make all of my labels. I like to use the strips of blank book pages I've torn off. They're nice and aged already, and I get to use my scraps. I like the idea of stamping the outline onto an existing page, but I'd cover up the edges so there isn't text visible under the ink border... it would drive me nuts if I didn't LOL
So glad! I use this method ALL the time and the frame stamp sets are easy to find and inexpensive. I get mine on Amazon but there are other online sources as well. Thanks for watching!
Love this video. Such great ideas on how to make your own labels. The completed tags at the end are fabulous...of course I wouldn't be able to stop there.😂..I would be adding snippets of fabric, lace, and buttons!
Such a different take on making labels👍🏻 I also have some Tracy Fox labels but don’t buy digital papers. There are really many for free I love to see people making their own stuff because not everybody can afford buying so much in this time with inflations going on. Thank you for inspiring. I will watch more of your video’s after I discovered you today. Greetings from your newest follower of the Netherlands. Maia p.s. You can also make a scan from the pages you stempel yourself and use it more than one time.
Thanks, Maia! Yes, the digitals available out there are lovely, but I don't have a color printer (and don't want one - too much maintenance for me!). I probably buy a digital once or twice a year if there's an artist I want to support, but generally I prefer to use the stuff that's free (or nearly free) out there. It's more a creative challenge for me, too, to use the true "stuff of life" and not a kit. But everyone creates in their own way and there's room for every style! So glad to have you aboard, and thanks for your kind note.
Hello Anne! I really enjoy watching all your videos! I love the ideas for making labels! When you talked about Edith Holden, that was it! I never thought about making a label around some of the words in her book! Bravo! That makes me smile! Tyfs❤
Thank you for showing how to make your own labels. I am new to Junk Journaling and just discovered you this morning. I look foward to watching more of your videos!
Hi Anne. I also like to make my own labels. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I really enjoyed your envelope and your tags at the end. Take care. See you next time. 😊🤗❤
New subbie here, binge watching your videos. Love your style and your inspiration. I don't buy digitals, I try and make my own ephemera. Can't wait to watch more. TFS * L
This was excellent, thank you. I hae some pretty boring book pages I pulled out when I was making my first altered book - all about linguistics in a very highbrow tone! But, I was able to find a few words that isolated really well into small labels while following along. At a recent Bookarama, I picked up a scrapbooking book of templates, so now making a few oval labels. Great ideas, thank you!
I came over to this video after watching your latest video because it had to do with labels. I think you did a fabulous job of creating labels and then the ultimate tags that you did at the end are amazing. BTW I also watch Tina and Tracy. I am just curious, do you have boxes full of bags with all of your little things in them like some of the creators have sitting in some larger boxes? That idea sort of overwhelms me as I am trying to reduce the amount of stuff I have collected for crafting. I do have two large metal file cabinets that I will be moving into my craft area I am designing in the basement to hold my papers and such. As a teacher I found file cabinets to be an amazing organizer for paper things. Thank you ever so much for sharing your knowledge. 😊❤😊
You found it!! haha! So glad! I store most of the finished stuff I make on shelves - I use inexpensive plastic baskets to corral all the tags together, all the cards together, all the pocket together, etc. And the supplies ("future stuff") is mostly in the IKEA drawers that my desktop sets upon. I should do a video of my setup sometime soon.
Welcome aboard! So glad you have joined me here - and yes, I love making my own labels. I just keep making more, month after month, because they're so useful! Thanks for watching!
I'm a new sub. I just don't use labels like most people do but I like the way you used them and I think I will start now because it really added a dimension to the envelope and I realized that they don't have to make sense 💓 TYFS ❤
Anne, I'm new to your channel and notice your hands are just like mine. I mean my hands look just like yours. Same knuckles. Same fingers. Identical index finger, even the bend. It's sort of weird.
How interesting, Marilyn! I hope your thumb doesn't quiver like mine when I've had too much coffee! (haha!) Sometimes I realize how much my own hands are like my mother's - she's been gone for 23 years. I notice it mostly when I'm making a piecrust and I have flour all over my hands! Funny what we notice. Thank you SO much for joining me here, I really appreciate it!

You're so right! If I'm making something with a contemporary flair, I often save weekly flyers from grocery stores, too. Great label potential! Thanks for watching!
I love that you like to make your own tags. I love using fussy cuts and documents from junk stores
Me too!! Thanks for watching!
Brilliant! I have so many beloved botanical paper pads that are nothing more than scraps now. A rainy day with my scraps, stamps, and fussy cut scissors is in my near future. TFS!
Wonderful! Have fun!
I do too like very much making my own labels. As you say it is a great way to use little bits of scrap. 😊 Merci
I like how you are using colors for the label frames, much nicer than just black. It certainly does make a tiny image or some text feel special!
Thank you so much!
I love all the interesting ways to diy labels. I really hadn’t thought of making labels from the off cuts from book pages. I’ll feel less guilty now when I cut a focal point but leave great foliage behind.

Great ideas. Never thought to look in the back of a dictionary. Thanks for sharing.
It's a wealth of untapped potential back there! Have fun!
Thanks for introducing me to Edith Holden! 😊

Thank YOU so much! It's great fun to share ideas. I'm really glad this was helpful.
I always say I can spend hours watching paint dry...l liked glue being spread as a new pass time 😅
Same here! I love that satisfying feeling!

Oh, Wow!! These are so neat. I like the idea that if you don't have regular framed stamps you can make your own. Thank you. Glad I found you!
You are so welcome! And thanks for watching!
I love this video and how you give so many options. Not everyone has all the supplies and it's great to use what you have to create something beautiful. The longer I watch the better it gets! I never thought of stamping images (not words) on to labels! Thank you for sharing.

@annekenlon That would be awesome. I am looking for ideas 💡as I have a major problem and need to declutter.

So glad you found some ideas! Don't worry about doing things "like most people do" - your style is yours, and that's why it's beautiful!
What do you put behind your clear envelope window, I’m talking the last one you did with the flower
I just left it open - whatever happens to go behind it will show through.
💜💜💜
Hi, I struggle so much with wording. I dont have digitals -ive ordered wording - once delivered turned out in Chinese or translated really bad. 😊
You can do it!
Anne, I'm new to your channel and notice your hands are just like mine. I mean my hands look just like yours. Same knuckles. Same fingers. Identical index finger, even the bend. It's sort of weird.

I like calculus'
Junk Journals by name aren’t perfect. If it was perfect it wouldn’t be called JUNK journals. A little bit of seepage is fine. Makes it more authentic.
Agreed! Thank you!
