Ceri, there are reasons we all adore you…you are engaging, thrifty, and artistic, and as a self-declared person who deals with anxiety, you keep it real. Love this notion of a journal to experiment where the annoying perfectionist inner voice will have little cause to complain, i.e. a virtually cost free place to play and experiment! I too have been collecting paper bags and now shall also put them to great use! Many thanks once again!
While watching this video, and you were struggling with the eyelets, I was struggling with jump rings for my dangles. I mean seriously, there is nothing complicated with opening a jump ring and slipping in a charm, yet here I was, muttering death threats. Thank you for keeping it real. I appreciate all struggles. It keeps us humble.
Sandy, I also struggle because jump rings are small and my hands are large, the turning point for me was using two sets of pliers and Twisting the jump ring open and closed.
Ceri... followed you for a LONG time. I know how you feel about cleaning your storage out. I owned 2 stained glass and custom framing businesses. I also had an art studio of 24' x 40'. Every art thing you could imagine. I hit 70 we sold out and I had to get rid of everything. It broke my heart. That was a year and a half ago and I'm still not over it. Please take my gift to you and buy yourself a Crop-A- Dile II. It should help you immensely! Love to you and your good work!!!
We're all behind you, Ceri 😂, no matter what and how you do things! It has a positive note that it helps others who are also having an issue. Just deep breathing through the process makes life good again 😂❤🎉
Letting go is tough. Be kind to yourself through the process. I heard this a while ago "be the water, not the rock" which I take to mean... Go with the flow and know that things change. The rock gets worn down by debris, stones, etc. The water keeps moving seeing different things, experiencing a slower and faster pace. As if it is at peace moving along. You have evolved from the cake business to your crafting community. We love you, your personality and your creativity. May all your supportive comments lift you up when you are feeling down. I watch your videos often and they are very calming to me. Thank you! ❤
Funnily enough, my screen saver on my work computer is a Moraki boulder (big round rock) in the beach waves. It helps me to remember that I can be both 'fluid' and 'strong'. 🧡💚🤎
GREAT TUTORIAL! How sad for me that we dont have vendors who still utilize them as much anymore. Such sturdy paper, too. I can recall using them to make school bookcovers back in the day instead of buying the fancy, plasticzed ones. That may well be when my desire to be doodling and collaging on them got its start. Your video brought back good memories, Ceri! I'll be eager to watch how you fill it.
Keeping it real and we love you for it! P has the same struggles with the eyelits... she has a piece of iron and a little hammer that she smashes those unruley parts. She also likes to yell out "HAMMERING" hahahahaha
Thank you so much for including your struggles with eyelets!! I have the same exact issues with the things! I firmly believe that it's a love em or hate em kind of relationship 😊!!!!
Ceri, I love when you call yourself by your last name when you do something wrong😂 and I am so pleased that you decide to channel your inner Darcy❤. As much as I admire your neatness I fell is another step toward experimentation and evolution. Thank you for letting us be witness of that.
Hi Ceri~I also have loads of different journals on-the-go at any one time. So, when I find myself in a creative funk, I pull some of them down off the shelf and review them for errors, unfinished pages, or simply to add something new or special. Sometimes this process "revs" up my muse again. And it's fun!. Bye for now.
Enjoyed listening to your real conversation to ...all of us out here....thank YOU for being real ...I know how hard it is to let go of things...you are a strong guy...not having issue with it!! cool stuff here....love the whole thin g !!! love to you ...be happy in spite of ..."things"...
❤Beautiful Dump Art Journal. Fantastic way to use brown bags. I like the weight of them to do art on. I am excited to see you start working in it. So fun! 😊❤
I really like this idea! Thanks so much for sharing and keeping it real- I know I have struggled with eyelets- it’s good to know I am not alone! Have a wonderful week!
This is just what i am needing! I have been working on an art journal and keeping the pages of my signatures in a plastic ziplock bag because I didn’t want to bind them until all the pages were finished. This is the perfect solution. Thanks so much for sharing this idea!!!
And here I thought I was the only one that still struggles with setting eyelets properly. I am not mechanically inclined AT ALL, so it never occurred to me that a poorly set eyelet could be rescued by using small pliers to unbend the mess. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing your solution.
For handles, cut the glued ends then start unrolling them like when you separate the strings of jute. You should get several layers of paper that looks like crepe paper. Love your videos. Janet
Loved this video and I am sure many beginners that see this will feel confident in trying one. What a great starter journal as well as art journal. Trying to catch up on older videos of a few TH-camrs and just loved the simplicity of this one.
I am so proud of you for letting go of your baking supplies..etc.. It is always good when we make the right decision, and saving money is always a bonus to our pocketbooks...I always enjoy whatever journey you are on.. You are an inspiration to so many! Hello from Texas ❤
Thank you Ceri! This came at the most perfect timing for me! I've been wanting to create a "play" journal and have actually gutted the book already. But that's as far as I've gotten. You have given me the inspiration and motivation to get it done now. I'll add that buying the cropodile was a total game changer for me. I did watch videos on how to use it. It was on sale and I was able to use a coupon. And about letting go of things...it is hard. I'm right in the middle of downsizing and yes, it can be emotional at times...and other times it feels like such a relief. We all must do what is right for us. Struggling sometimes, and celebrating other times. That's life, isn't it? I say..."Craft on!"
I have that exact grommet punch/clamp and I’ve learned that there’s a smooth side that is one smooth piece vs. one side that is two parts fitted together. The smooth side works better on the open grommet side. That’s a messy explanation… 😅 I wish I could just come over and show you 😂
What a great journal I love recycling I just made a journal the other day with left over papers and even it Nest ructions leaflets and booklets, your right it is it more carefree feeling. Can't wait to se what you create in your journal 😊
I want to thank you for sharing your extensive talents. I think of each of our personalities as a gift. You do these videos and I think it's like making friends. You don't have to apologize for who you are and why you do what you do. I'm a 51 year old wife and mum from Arizona. I have ADHD and more often than not, I juggle many projects at a time. I have to be creative every day, and I'm very critical of myself as we creatives are. I think that you are lovely, so talented, and so like me. I'm grateful that I found you and I hope you never stop creating. Have a wonderful day my friend. ❤
Bravo. Loved the. Idea did the idea. I have problems with eyelets also. Nice to see I'm not the only one. Keep up the great ideas and keeping it real. ❤️
I feel your frustration, as I have trouble with eyelets too. I love the idea behind this journal, love the name, and love that you will be doing your best to let go with it. I will try to live vicariously through you and maybe someday I can let go as well 😅 Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
Hi there! I found your videos a few months ago and I absolutely love your tutorials!🎉❤ And I, too, have trouble with them darn eyelets.😱 Wishing you well and HaPpY book/journal making. Thanks for sharing🥰
Also ty for leaving the struggles in as my whole experience of doing any blooming thing at all is a struggle so I really appreciate seeing others having head banging moments also! lol
I am VERY new to scrapbooking. I appreciate your videos such good information. I found that setting the larger eyelets is a struggle, it seems the metal is stronger. The smaller eyelets are easier. But sometimes you need the larger one. Great job such a great idea on a art journal. I will be doing this. Have a truly blessed week. 💖🌟
Thank you Ceri. It was very informative and loved the way you showed how to out the corners on, make the signatures, and create the holding mechanism. It will be fun to follow the creation of the insides of your Dump Journal!
Very nice idea, I just purchased an eyelet tool so lets see how I do. You are not the only one I have seen that the eyelets don't press all the way. I think this happens in our crafty world. Take care.
Ceri, I too have more trouble with eyelets. I watched someone’s video the other day and they said they always had trouble with eyelets until they bought them with washers. I’m ordering some from Amazon. If they work I’ll let you know.
Ceri, enjoyed the video very much. I have lots of bags that I want to use this for, Dumping! I hope you share with us when you play in it! I am definitely going to make one…..cyndi m. Thank you!
Thank you Cyndi, yes I think I will make one or two videos where I play in this art journal, after filming I decided to use clear gesso on all of the pages as I’ve never worked on brown paper bags before so I’m a little worried how they will take wet mediums, the gesso will create a barrier of moisture protection.
This has been a Wonderful learning experience for me ... I am new and it's so much fun to watch you work your way through a project ... looks Perfect to me ... Thank you 📔
Love this art journal! I struggle with jump rings! Most of the time my eyelets work but not always! I plan to make one of these journals in the future! Thanks for sharing!
I just found your channel and you are amazing. Thanks for showing things that are “basic” for those of us who don’t know how to do these things. Thank you!
I have the large Crop o Dile (sp?) and my eyelets turn out that way about half the time! I think it's just an imperfect process altogether. Enjoyed your video!
I've struggled in the past too as I had a tool like yours. If you put the eyelet in, put it in with raw side down, then insert the nub into the smooth side of eyelet. It should flatten for you. Hopefully, that helps. Also, I saw someone slit the pages on the seams, top and bottom, and your pages won't rip( about an inch). Lol I've learned everything from Gail and all the junk journalers on TH-cam. Very talented people you all are.
OMG great minds think alike! Thanks for sharing how to do this because I was thinking of putting my "experiments" into a journal. Because I like to try different things in crafting and wanted to keep them in one place for future reference. Thanks again!! Love your channel and watch with great interest how you do things.
May God bless you as he has me by bringing me here to watch your video today. ❣️🙏 My restless spirit quieted down 1/2 way thru to hear about the paper bags.😮🤔🇨🇦 But hearing the heart breaking story of the loss of your cake business during the pandemic. Iam so sorry. Sharing your storage costs became a little too close to home for me. It became a butterfly 🦋 moment, as i need to push to make a decision on my storage, as the cost Can a month is 107$ .Ty for chaneling a Darcy moment too! She and her gel plate are magical! 🩷 but her opposite personality really helps to let go , to not stress over things too much. To go with what we can and find peace where we can.
Just found you and love this idea for my slow stitching journal! I have I grommet/ eyelet thing and I have the same problem. It’s a hit or miss on the grommet being flat. Enjoy your art dumping 😁
I’m so happy to see that you are having the same struggle that I do with eyelets. I kept thinking I’m doing something wrong. Thanks for keeping it real. I tried all the things u just mentioned as well.
Ceri, there are reasons we all adore you…you are engaging, thrifty, and artistic, and as a self-declared person who deals with anxiety, you keep it real. Love this notion of a journal to experiment where the annoying perfectionist inner voice will have little cause to complain, i.e. a virtually cost free place to play and experiment! I too have been collecting paper bags and now shall also put them to great use! Many thanks once again!
Thank you
While watching this video, and you were struggling with the eyelets, I was struggling with jump rings for my dangles. I mean seriously, there is nothing complicated with opening a jump ring and slipping in a charm, yet here I was, muttering death threats. Thank you for keeping it real. I appreciate all struggles. It keeps us humble.
Sandy, I also struggle because jump rings are small and my hands are large, the turning point for me was using two sets of pliers and Twisting the jump ring open and closed.
Yep. Real. Humble. Real humble.
Love your Journal Idea, you are Crafty, Ceri🥰❤️
Ceri... followed you for a LONG time. I know how you feel about cleaning your storage out. I owned 2 stained glass and custom framing businesses. I also had an art studio of 24' x 40'. Every art thing you could imagine. I hit 70 we sold out and I had to get rid of everything. It broke my heart. That was a year and a half ago and I'm still not over it. Please take my gift to you and buy yourself a Crop-A- Dile II. It should help you immensely! Love to you and your good work!!!
It's a change in idenity. And the crop-a-dile is all that and a bag of chips.
Here goes another vote for the crop-a-file. I am quite literally handicapped and this tool has made all the difference for me.
Do it!!! It’s a game changer! Can’t believe you’ve survived this far without one! 😊
We're all behind you, Ceri 😂, no matter what and how you do things!
It has a positive note that it helps others who are also having an issue. Just deep breathing through the process makes life good again 😂❤🎉
I have a Crop-a-Dial and it terrifies me! I haven’t used it yet. 😳
I always have trouble with eyelets, glad to know it’s not just me!
Love the journal!

@lillybullen5374 ❤ That is a great screensaver
Thank you, I’ve come to terms with things by thinking of myself as a creative soul in whichever medium I choose to create in.
⁰⁰]
I have a fancy cropodile and still struggle. The struggle is real..
I read some of the comments of using a crop-o-dile for the eyelets. I use mine and I STILL have mangled eyelets 50% of the time. So frustrating!
GREAT TUTORIAL!
How sad for me that we dont have vendors who still utilize them as much anymore.
Such sturdy paper, too. I can recall using them to make school bookcovers back in the day instead of buying the fancy, plasticzed ones.
That may well be when my desire to be doodling and collaging on them got its start. Your video brought back good memories, Ceri!
I'll be eager to watch how you fill it.
Keeping it real and we love you for it! P has the same struggles with the eyelits... she has a piece of iron and a little hammer that she smashes those unruley parts. She also likes to yell out "HAMMERING" hahahahaha
lol…….you may hear me from there if I let loose with a hammer.
Thank you so much for including your struggles with eyelets!! I have the same exact issues with the things! I firmly believe that it's a love em or hate em kind of relationship 😊!!!!
Ceri, I love when you call yourself by your last name when you do something wrong😂 and I am so pleased that you decide to channel your inner Darcy❤. As much as I admire your neatness I fell is another step toward experimentation and evolution. Thank you for letting us be witness of that.
Me too
The struggle is real. It's good to know everyone has problems sometimes.
Hi Ceri~I also have loads of different journals on-the-go at any one time.

I used the brown bag twisted handles to make a ribbed book spine instead of twine or cord. Then cover spine. Thank you Ceri👍
Great idea!
You can untwist the handle material and it's lovely for floral, leaves or bows.
Thank you for the info.
I do that, yes, the paper is gorgeous when untwisted, sometimes I have even found a coloured piece!
❤Beautiful Dump Art Journal. Fantastic way to use brown bags. I like the weight of them to do art on. I am excited to see you start working in it.
So fun! 😊❤
Yup time to play Julie.
I really like this idea! Thanks so much for sharing and keeping it real- I know I have struggled with eyelets- it’s good to know I am not alone! Have a wonderful week!
I think your tool is reefed and ruined...but you do well making it work...
💖 The twisted brown bag handles make great kitten/cat toys, just as is. My cats go nuts for them!
Mine too!
The Crop-A- Dile is the best tool - you have great ideas and I always learn from you. You're the best! Thank you from North Carolina USA.
This is just what i am needing! I have been working on an art journal and keeping the pages of my signatures in a plastic ziplock bag because I didn’t want to bind them until all the pages were finished. This is the perfect solution. Thanks so much for sharing this idea!!!
Glad it was helpful!
I like this idea. You made it look doable. Thanks
Letting go of so many things that were tied to your identity is difficult. Hugs, unc. ❤
Yup……I must admit I had a couple of tearful moments but it’s all part of moving forward.
And here I thought I was the only one that still struggles with setting eyelets properly. I am not mechanically inclined AT ALL, so it never occurred to me that a poorly set eyelet could be rescued by using small pliers to unbend the mess. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing your solution.
Lorraine I’ve been told in the comments that I was using my eyelet setter upside down.
For handles, cut the glued ends then start unrolling them like when you separate the strings of jute. You should get several layers of paper that looks like crepe paper. Love your videos. Janet

Hello from Texas ❤
This is a fascinating process.

All so true, thank you
I have that exact grommet punch/clamp and I’ve learned that there’s a smooth side that is one smooth piece vs. one side that is two parts fitted together. The smooth side works better on the open grommet side. That’s a messy explanation… 😅 I wish I could just come over and show you 😂
My first thought was that whoever told you which side went where, told you wrong... Try switching.
I’ve now found out that they had.
Yup. Eyelets are just a pain in the patotie
I have the same issue with eyelets! Drives me nuts! So you’re not alone!
I uncurl the brown bag handles - I love the material/paper and use it for multiple purposes
Throughout life we must let go and each time we learn and grow even through the heartbreak. You are an inspiration! ❤❤
Thank you
What a great journal I love recycling I just made a journal the other day with left over papers and even it
Nest ructions leaflets and booklets, your right it is it more carefree feeling. Can't wait to se what you create in your journal 😊
A good idea. I'm looking foward to see you do something on that journal. Thanks, Ceri 😊
I just made a dump journal while watching this vid. I love it and am so excited to get started!

Ceri, I enjoyed watching you make this journal. It looks like it’ll be fun for you to just let go and do what strikes your fancy.
I love it ! And I have the same problem when doing g eyelets. Sometimes it works sometimes, it doesn't . ❤
Super! 👍💖🌹
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
😊 That was amazing, thankyou
I am exactly the same. So this video is a great help. Being a perfectionist. ❤❤❤❤
Love that, thank you. I specially like the option of taking the signature out to work on.
merci, cette façon de faire est très intéressante ! merci à vous ! Brigitte du sud ouest de la France !!!
Bravo. Loved the. Idea did the idea. I have problems with eyelets also. Nice to see I'm not the only one. Keep up the great ideas and keeping it real. ❤️
Thanks!
Oh my gosh Deb, that’s so incredibly generous of you, thank you. That will go a long way for supplies for future video content.
I love this idea!

Wishing you well and HaPpY book/journal making. Thanks for sharing🥰
This is a great video. I love the idea of FREE and using it as a dump journal sound like fun.
Thanks so much!
That is a great idea. Thank you for sharing this practical and inexpensive project.
Thank you for the realism of your Vedio defiantly made one like this using all items .
Great video, Ceri!!! Happy dumping!!! 🤓
Love it
Also ty for leaving the struggles in as my whole experience of doing any blooming thing at all is a struggle so I really appreciate seeing others having head banging moments also! lol
Good job, you gave me some new ideas. Thanks
Wow!!! Great video! Thanks! And, you sure have patience, of which I Admire!❤❤❤
Oh Ceri, I feel you pain with the eyelets and I do have a Cropodile - still can't do them 🫤
Love this!!!
Love this, and I love real ❤
I am VERY new to scrapbooking. I appreciate your videos such good information. I found that setting the larger eyelets is a struggle, it seems the metal is stronger. The smaller eyelets are easier. But sometimes you need the larger one. Great job such a great idea on a art journal. I will be doing this. Have a truly blessed week. 💖🌟
Love this ty.
You’re very creative Ceri and I enjoy watching your videos ❤
Thank you so much
Thank you Ceri. It was very informative and loved the way you showed how to out the corners on, make the signatures, and create the holding mechanism. It will be fun to follow the creation of the insides of your Dump Journal!
Thank you ,that was inspiring.
Very nice idea, I just purchased an eyelet tool so lets see how I do. You are not the only one I have seen that the eyelets don't press all the way. I think this happens in our crafty world. Take care.
I made one of these a while back, but I didn't sew my signatures together so that I could remove the whole page to work on it
I may do that next time.
Great video Ceri, the struggle is really with eyelets and I thought it was just me! Have a fab week, Laura ❤
Thank you Laura, You too!
Such a great project Ceri! I’m sorry you’ve had such a tough day. Letting go of much loved “history” is tough. 🩷💛🩵🇨🇦
So true!
Ceri, I too have more trouble with eyelets. I watched someone’s video the other day and they said they always had trouble with eyelets until they bought them with washers. I’m ordering some from Amazon. If they work I’ll let you know.
Ceri, enjoyed the video very much. I have lots of bags that I want to use this for, Dumping! I hope you share with us when you play in it! I am definitely going to make one…..cyndi m. Thank you!
Thank you Cyndi, yes I think I will make one or two videos where I play in this art journal, after filming I decided to use clear gesso on all of the pages as I’ve never worked on brown paper bags before so I’m a little worried how they will take wet mediums, the gesso will create a barrier of moisture protection.
I do have a crop-o-dial and I still have the exact same problem you have with eyelets. We must not be holding our mouths right.😊
I’ve now been told I had it upside down.
This was very interesting, I hope you share the journal when you have worked in it. I would love to see.😊
Carmen I will video pages.
This has been a Wonderful learning experience for me ... I am new and it's so much fun to watch you work your way through a project ... looks Perfect to me ... Thank you 📔
You are so welcome Karen
Love this art journal! I struggle with jump rings! Most of the time my eyelets work but not always! I plan to make one of these journals in the future! Thanks for sharing!
Same problem with me with eyelids. I don't have a fancy one. I love your book. And I like to make them. So much fun.
I just found your channel and you are amazing. Thanks for showing things that are “basic” for those of us who don’t know how to do these things. Thank you!
Happy to help, thank you.
Great idea and video Ceri! I can’t wait to see how and what you will fill this with! Have a great weekend and week!
Thank you! You too!
I have the large Crop o Dile (sp?) and my eyelets turn out that way about half the time! I think it's just an imperfect process altogether. Enjoyed your video!
I've struggled in the past too as I had a tool like yours. If you put the eyelet in, put it in with raw side down, then insert the nub into the smooth side of eyelet. It should flatten for you. Hopefully, that helps. Also, I saw someone slit the pages on the seams, top and bottom, and your pages won't rip( about an inch). Lol I've learned everything from Gail and all the junk journalers on TH-cam. Very talented people you all are.
Thank you for the tips.
New follower and so love watching you make this journal and just your process , Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much and welcome
I like how you put this together. Great tutorial. I'm learining so many good things!
OMG great minds think alike! Thanks for sharing how to do this because I was thinking of putting my "experiments" into a journal. Because I like to try different things in crafting and wanted to keep them in one place for future reference. Thanks again!! Love your channel and watch with great interest how you do things.

Great video, Ceri!!! TFS!!
Austin TX USA
Turned out really nice. 👍
if the handles are twisted paper you can untwist them and they make narrow textured bits of brown paper
Ceri reall enjoyed this tutorial tfs look forward to see how it all comes together love watchinh your show.❤
U r awesome u just keep going. U r inspiring to me to keep going with crafting and with life I almost wanted to give up. Thank u ❤❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome
Love it can't wait to see you use it❤
Just found you and love this idea for my slow stitching journal! I have I grommet/ eyelet thing and I have the same problem. It’s a hit or miss on the grommet being flat. Enjoy your art dumping 😁
Welcome
Love the idea of using bags as journal signatures. I have so many as stores will use paper instead of plastic bags and I can’t throw them away. ❤❤❤
I’m so happy to see that you are having the same struggle that I do with eyelets. I kept thinking I’m doing something wrong. Thanks for keeping it real. I tried all the things u just mentioned as well.
Ceri, believe you need a second piece for your eyelets. That is why they don't flatten.
Have you thought of unwinding the handles and flattening them out a little to make a textured base for something of your choosing?
We definitelyneed to see how you overcome the struggles. That is some of the best things we can learn. Thanks.
You are so welcome!
This project looks like fun, and I can't wait to see what you create in it! Love your videos!!! ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Awesomeness
