  • Hi Joie 😃. I really really love the simplicity of your creations which is so well suited for the beginners. I love the way you use junk and cheap material, when some people use a lot of stickers of all sorts bought on Aliexpress, and the not too much difficult techniques with which you create really beautiful compositions and Ephemera like it was sophisticated. You are a great source of inspiration to me. My junk journals are highly inspired by you, together with Francesca from Junk journal Joy and Natasha from Treasure Books, you are all my top 3 🥰. Many thanks for sharing all this with us💜

There are tons of wonderful KZhead channels but many of them loose me in their chatter. I am new to junk journal and I love how this video shows your personal evolution in this particular art of creating junk journals. My sister and I via text and zoom are doing the 100 day challenge. This video is perfect for that as you show how you do lots of the same thing in practice to then use as ephemera. Thank you so much!

  • I want to say that you’ve found your own unique style & it’s lovely! What your creations remind me of is Edith Holden wrote and drawed for her journaling for what we have came to love as her country diary based on her outlook on her daily concepts of life as she visited nature, took walks then wrote and drawed what she’d seen and her books have became famous, and you create, draw, glue, paint, stick, sew, cut, tear, paste, color, and so much more based on the same principles you go for a walk whether it be spring, summer, fall, or winter and you create it in a journal that’s your inspiration and it’s so like Edith Holden just in a different way. So with that said I hope you know that you’re videos are why I keep coming back to KZhead and why I never get tired of your amazing unique only Joie style. Don’t ever sell yourself short because you found yourself and it’s amazing, thank you for sharing it with us. ❤

So, thanks and thanks.🌷I will watch this video over and over again. You’re a star!💐🌻🌱

I love your work, your painting has re-activated my interest, everything you do is pleasing to my eye and every video is inspiring. There are so many "ways to be creative", why confine ourselves to just one way? Having fun is vital for well being.

  • Your videos are so inspiring and most of all encouraging. As we all watch other artists we think we “need” to be doing this or that. It can be confusing and create discouraging mind games. I love watching videos, but I need to remember one thing instead of thinking “I need” to do that, I’m going to starting thinking “I want” to do this. I keep thinking I need to do more with paint. When actually my question should be do I want to do more with paint. This video is a reminder of this. Thank you thank you and thank you, Joie ❤️❤️❤️

  • Hi sweetheart 🤗 I truly wonder how many of us have felt lost and unsure about what our JJ style is/was and went off looking at more and more and MORE JJ videos only to bring more confusion to the situation and make things even worse. Simply put, at least for me, I just need to START - put pen (or brush or pencil or whatever) to paper, make a mark, and go from there. Pam at The Paper Outpost reminds us often that "it's only paper", so what's the worst thing that could happen? You are such an inspiration to me - you've even gotten me trying my hand at painting for Pete's sake - now THAT took some doing. Love you bunches, hugs Joie! Ems ♥️🤗🏜🤗♥️

Learning new things is great as long as you are incorporating them into your style,unless you are trying to change your style. I say stay true to yourself, which you needed to do in the end. Your work is beautiful, never doubt that. Your journey was a valuable lesson we can all learn from. Hugs * L

  • I really loved the video you did on the altered book. I watched it quite a few times until I was confident enough to have a go. It was the first time I'd ever used paint or ripped up a book! I love my book, splashing paint in it and doing simple collaging on top of it. I got so much out of that video and it's still my favourite thing to do. I use it for positive quotes and things I love like flowers and anything that's bright and cheerful. Thank you so much for making our journey into junk journaling so much fun 🌻💐💙

  • I quite enjoy your channel. You and Treasure books are the two main channels I watch. I came into this quite by accident; I started out looking for ways to spruce up a plain commercial journal I’d purchased and had committed to writing in each day. I was planning to use stickers and colored pencils mostly. I’m still doing that in that particular journal, but now I’m starting to get the bug for real junk journaling, making everything from scratch and not relying on expensive supplies. Using my own creativity instead of that of others. Your channel has been a huge inspiration for that.

  • Hi Joie, thank you for this share. I enjoyed your painting and sketching tips but I particularly appreciated your honesty. It was interesting how you felt the pressure to perform/produce as your channel grew. I dare say many creators feel this. It was great that you could take a step back and focus on what you enjoy, ultimately this is what matters. You clearly are an artist and as such have your own unique style. I/we obviously love your style, as your subscriber numbers show! I particularly appreciate how you use paint, pen and recycled items. While there are definitely digies I love, I don’t want my journals to be only about digital files. Your videos free us from the constraints of being/doing ‘perfect.’ Thank you for encouraging freedom and acceptance. Have a great day. 😀

Love the watercolors ideals I’m sure to practice this soon. Thanks for sharing 🥳💕💕
