Oh my what is this?! Blue Velvet journal is back!? Well, I started working on it and realised I needed a smallish belly band…. So that led to a mass making of belly bands using toaster strudel box flaps, tissue box hole pull out, a piece of comp book paper, and a paper napkin…. Then we go back to the journal… Come on then… Let’s get to it! ***** If you love what I do, would you please consider supporting my work? Buy me a coffee!

In this quick little video I show you how I finish up the “junk journal basics” we made in the last episode.

Let’s get back to Junk Journal basics! Today I show you how to “mass produce” the “basics” of junk journaling: journal cards, tucks, belly bands, bookmarks etc. We use magazine tear outs, 3x5 cards, playing card blanks and junk mail / purchase trash (scraps) to create easy, and beautiful items to use in your junk journals!

This project may seem like it’s taking days. Well, in reality it took me weeks! Mostly because it sat for ages but once I picked it up and ran with it to only took me two days. The problem is condensing that into video (especially when fighting the software!).

Welcome back post Christmas 2021! I hope you all had a lovely day. Right… back to business. Let’s continue working on the Blueberry Hill journal!

Personally, I'm loving this Journal so far... Today we cut the papers for our front and back covers (complete with circular cutouts for the "doors"/flaps). We insert the pull ring into the spine and then a squirrel takes over and we have to deal with a side issue... Such is life! Come on then...

Oh my… we have picked up our “packing paper/5 hole pamphlet/hidden spine” journal again. And I hope you’ll come along for the ride on this one because it’s worth it! I changed my mind on the spine and decided to make it visible…. It’s a major project but it turns out to be major fun. I’ve renamed the journal to “bluebell hill peekaboo” journal… It is a great one!

Today we’ve got a quick look at a fun project I made from another Journal Maker’s idea. I tried my own hand at Amanda from “Scrimpingmommy”’s “Pocket Flip Flap Insert” (link below). It was so much fun and I made what ended up being fruitful mistakes! (More ways to do a thing is never a bad thing!)

In this episode we peruse my Amazon haul. I have provided links below for the individual items as well as a link to my Daffodils Galleria “Item List”. Don’t be confused into thinking I want all of the items on my list! I simply use this as a “catchall” for the things I have bought as well as things I might buy... It’s an easier way for me to collect data without opening an “Amazon Store” (I DO NOT WANT ONE!). I also don’t need the one or two cents I might get from a “clickthrough” purchase made by someone. That’s not why I do this. I also use smile.amazon.com to make donations to a charity. I also just installed some new video editing software so the look and feel of the entry/exit and the background music is a bit different. I’m hoping it works better than iMovie! Now, I’m having troubles with Rumble uploading! It’s a never ending battle I don’t want to fight. I may just start uploading the videos “as is”. I can splice easily enough so I can make them half hour videos but, I’m sorry for the inconveniences in advance! Come on then...

In this episode we create what is called a "master board" in Junk Journal-ese. Master boards are larger sheets of something or other that one has typically glued a ton of stuff onto in some order or another. These sheets will then be cut into various other items for use in your Junk Journal. I often create tags or tucks with mine. This master board (I sometimes refer to them accidentally as "mother boards" - oh well) is created in a way I've not done before using napkins for a collage / decoupage style. It was really fun and I was able to use up a little bit of my paper napkins I have lying around. Come on then...
