In this episode, I step away from the Baby Book Journal for another practice session of single page stitch binding. I make a little art journal using mixed media paper and it’s quite fun! Takes some getting used to but the final product is very unique and worth it! Come on then… Let’s get to it! ******* If you love what I do, would you please consider supporting my work?

It’s time to construct the pages of our Baby Book Junk Journal. I start off by showing you a multi-pocket flip with many tags for baby clothes to add in later as a flip out part on a page. After this we develop a theme and process and start working on the pages building them from card stock and developing the general layout for the book.

I’ve got these master boards taking up valuable space. Let’s get them ready to use in journals! I’m about to start “mass making” journals to use up all the stuff I’ve got consuming precious space in my studio. We start by getting the basics in order.

Hi all.. Today we make a similar journal to the “Samples” Journal/Binder to corral our out of control scraps!

In today’s episode, after we get past a few squirrels and tangents, and a quick update to the Bluebell Hill Journal, I show you how I made a “journal” to hold my samples of things I’ve made to include in junk journals. We also have a brief Crop-A-Dile Big Bite training. (I need more training!) We wrap up with a tour of a few sample I have on hand.

Today we put a new glue contender in the ring! I put this new silicon glue I found through the paces. I make a quick journal card then we pull out the big guns and make a small fabric covered journal on the fly to see how it holds up. Let me tell you, I LIKE IT! The one BIG drawback is it’s made in China (bad!) and our beloved Fabri-Fix (Beacon glues) are MADE IN THE USA… So, while this glue works great, I will likely continue to support our USA made product. Here’s the link to the glue if you’d like to try it. I checked UK amazon and couldn’t find it there… https://amzn.to/36eZ9HD Also in this episode: a little printer talk and a bonus project at the end!

Ok so I’ve thought this might be a good episode to start putting a bit of a hint as to what’s going on in the title… So what do you think? Let me know in the comments please! In this episode, I go over a haul of “new” (to me) vintage books I’ve recently acquired. As per my usual, I have a very hard time gutting any book that 1) is super old (like over 100 years old some of these are!) and 2) I enjoy.
