I found a journal type book with plain papers in it. I think I can use it to remove some pages and make a neat journal. When I get through with sewing to relax I'm going to follow you and make this with you ..as I learn how to make it. Thanks babygirl for the inspiration.😊🦋🐦❤️💎 August 9..2023.
Decisions, decisions, decisions! I am terrible with them. That’s why I spend most of my time watching creative lovelies like you instead of doing my own. Last weekend I went to a local 2nd hand shop and got several vintage books at a great price. I need more time and fewer commitments. Thanks for allowing us a walk through your thinking. Have a great week!
Aaah sound like you are now well stocked up for some fun crafty playtime. 😁👍🏻💜
So far the journey looks lovely...😻
Splendid 😊 Let's keep going, let's do this!! 😁👍🏻💜🍄
The painted pictures are so lovely and it was such a shame that you had to abandon them, but your finished cover is beautiful! TFS the inspiration!
Very generous Gail... thank you!!!!
I am on this altered book journey too!! Loving it! I am impressed at how using watercolors works in it!!!
It does work well with watercolours... great reason to play with them. I'll be doing a spread for December soon. 😁👍🏻💜
Good morning 👋😊 I am enjoying watching your book come to a new life congrats 🎉 stay safe and be careful 🙏🖌️🎨✍️💌
You too Linda.... thanks for the kind words ❤️
@@joiedefi your very welcome 😊💌
It's such a pleasure to listen to you! Greetings from Russia
Hello Russia!! Great to see you here, welcome to my channel ❣️ I'm waving to you over there in Russia, all the way from England 😊
This is a fab process and a lovely book. Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us. TFS. I did. God bless and stay safe.
I'm filming more this week, and I've just finished editing another video....I hope you enjoy these too Evelyn ❣️
Hello Joie de Fi! I just wanted to mentioned that because of you playing with watercolor on your creations on You Tube videos I have taken up on exploring and having fun with Watercolor. So thank you for being an inspiration. I decided to have fun and give up perfectionism. After all It is not even human. Blessings and light Joie...
And to you!! I am so delighted to hear that. It's about enjoying it and it sounds like you are on that journey. Well done you!! Have fun and stay safe, hugs, joie 💜🌿🍄
Ok this is literally (Or rather literaryly) amazing ❤ 📖 I’ve been wanting to do a junk journal for a loooong time, but I’ve put it off due to being scared to start! Lol I don’t even know what I need to start! But I think what I’ll do is just start like this video and alter a vintage book. Thank you so much for your inspiration 😊 Blessings from North Florida, USA 😊
Beautiful layering! Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Very generous but thank you Kim 😁💜
Hi joie ! Beautiful!! Love the collage and I love the how the altered book is coming together and a very informative video 🎉💕💏🌻🌺. XOXO !
Awesome, thank you!! 💜🍁
Ur sweet
I love this one SO MUCH!! 🥰
Ooooh that's fabulous, thanks Tanya!! I've just filmed a video filling a few pages in this Altered Book, so that will be out next weekend 👍🏻😁🍄❤️
Wait for me! I'm going to try an altered book!
Hooray!!!!❤️👍
Thank you for sharing your thinking process it really helps. I do struggle with making choices when working especially on cover pages. Your sunflower is gorgeous!
Very kind of you Wanda😊💜
I loved the way you did the cover it's so nice.
Thank you Carol, I really appreciate that!! 💕
I know how frustrating it is to be so confident in planning and putting a ton of work into a project. And it not end up working out at all. BOO! 🤬! But it is absolutely beautiful how you painted it and I love the stamp! So in the end we say a couple angry bad words and sulk a little. And then we forget about the whole thing a day later! 😉 ( Yes I do become a 5 year old for a few minutes when things go haywire sometimes! I proudly admit it.)
Wow! So true Itz Raidz......I know what you mean!! Welcome to my channel....to this happy family. Have a good week... joie 🌿💜🍄
So inspiring!
Another fabulous video❤️ I love the mushrooms🍄🍄🍄
So cute aren't they? 😁👍🏻🍄🍄🍄
I've never made a junk journal as such, but I have used old books. I never know how many pages to take out. I really enjoyed this video, thank you for sharing. Hugs 🎨🖍🖌
The number of pages to tear out varies... I do about 1 in 3 or so.... I like to leave a lot in and maybe remove more if I need to, if it gets too chubby....
So wonderful, Joie ! Tfs 🍁🍂🍁
Awww thanks Patricia 😉❣️
I like how you handle the paper, just like the treasure it is. Love textures.
It is indeed a treasure 😁💜🍄
Hi Joie I hope your doing well. I needed to find some peace today so I came to visit you. I'm trying to learn the techniques you use. It's a lot to take in. Be safe and enjoy your day.
Aww Carmen, lovely to see you here again. I hope you are ok. Sending hugs, joie 🌿🍄💜
I don’t have a old book. But love the idea. I may just get a book and start something similar . Thanks for the video
You're very welcome Liliana.... good to meet you. Welcome!!! 😁💜
Outstanding ideas and instructions! 📖
Why thank you very much!!!😁😁😁😁💐💜
If "clanking" isn't a word 🤔I think we all knew what you meant. 😉. I didn't hear a thing tho'. Excited to get busy on my cover. You're answering all my questions before I can type them! Thanks Joie! XOX from the Southern California desert, MK. ❤️🌞🌵
That's fantastic Emm😁👍🏻💜🍁
Me alegra saber que está usted bien de salud, como lamento no comprender sus maravillosas explicaciones. Gracias por compartir y regalar momentos de alegrías.
Thank you!!! 😁❣️🌿
I love it.
Thanks Yolanda!! 😁💜🍄
Thanks for sharing 😍❤🏵🌺🌼🌹🌻
🥰👍💜💜💜
I love watching how you transform your papers into beautiful creations! It's magical...thank you. Happy Sunday and Blessings from Arkansas, USA
Sending best wishes to Arkansas ❤️ Lovely to meet you Janice, very kind words, thank you!!
Hi Joie, This is really beautiful. I've been watching Tina's channel too and between the two of you, I am about ready to alter a book too. Will get over to 49 dragonflies and see what she is doing with her book. I love how you are used paint in the journal and the poem you added was truly a wonderful one. The cover turned out really lovely.
Filming more in this tomorrow!! 😊👍🏻❤️
@@joiedefi I will be watching the next video too!
Hello!! I've filmed it and I'm editing it now 😁 👍🏻💜🍄
Yes, please do a stamp tutorial!! There are quite a few great videos showing different-style stamps being made, but there is certainly always room for more ideas. Thank you for sharing your altered book. It's already looking awesome!
You're awesome Patty, thanks for the encouragement 💕
Thank you so much for your videos! I have always struggled with collages and never thought to use your method. It's brilliant! I'll be doing my collaging this way from now on.
Awesome!!! I enjoyed doing it too.... might have do some more next year 👍🏻😄
I love what you’ve done here, and I thank you for your tips and thoughts on the process of creating a cover front, collage, etc.
You're very welcome 😁🍄💜
Nice! I’m inspired to come along with you and alter an old book too. It seems to me that the printed page is an easier place to start a collage than a blank piece.
I agree Pamela.... somehow a more friendly page to start with...easy, relaxing fun....💜 Welcome on board!! 👍🏻😁🍄
Joie, it turned out amazing! You are such a great teacher =^..^=
Awwww Marie😁💜💜💜
Beautiful!! I enjoy your calming tone along with your thought process. Thank you for sharing! Blessings! 🙏
You're welcome Debbie 💜🍁
I purposely put text upside down, it appears be an alternative, vaguely familiar alphabet. It is about how the shapes please the eye...same with sheet music. They feel familiar but not quite decipherable. I also do asemic writing, it’s a fancy word for scribbling, like a child might when imitating longhand. Try scribbling backwards (from right to left) to really free you from expectation of making known letters. And yes, I’m going to make an altered book, my first!
Oh my word, your ideas.... your creativity, just love it!!! 💜💜💜
I would have trimed the mushroom picture. It worked with the book cover.
👍💜
Congratulations on over 20K!
Bit of a shock... not sure how that happened 🤭🍄💜💜💜
love this!
Thank you!!💜
New subby here. Love the way you think out loud! Very helpful!
Splendid!!! Great to meet you and welcome on board 😁❤️👍🏻
Very beautifil and creative💕😊...Got to know about your channel from 49dragonflies😊
Barbara is fantastic! Thanks very much for watching.... lots more to come, including Collab videos with 49dragonflies. Have a good week! Joie 💜🌿🍄
I loved this video so much! Collaging is my favorite! Yours turned out beautiful and all your thoughts, so insightful! 💚
Awww thanks!! I'm filming another video tomorrow... more collage in that one too....and some playing with paper 😁💜👍🏻
that will look nice with the chalk. go try that too, I also have a box of chalk. And yes I like to see how an altered book is made. I ripped and folded one. I wanted a December journal first but it will be a Christmas journal. This will be quite a challenge, I will not have them ready in December, I am afraid but I do not mind. I make them for myself. I love the month of December with Sinterklaas and especially Christmas
I absolutely December too ❤️ Sending hugs, you are doing brilliantly!! Joie 🌲👍🏻💜
Very inspiring I really need to make one Tfs x
Sounds good Carol.... it's a flexible process, in that you can be creative and use what you have. And it's super satisfying too... Enjoy!! Thanks for letting me know.. keep me posted 😁🍁💜
Thank you Joie for taking me through this process, I'm learning so much.
Lovely feedback, thanks Lynn 💜
I love it! I’m trying to learn the art of collage, and autumn colours are my favourites. 😘
Wonderful! 👍🏻💜🍁
Love what you’ve done here! I’m following along wth you in my own altered book.
Fantastic!! Great to hear that you are filling up your own book... have fun Kimberly.... lots more to come 😁💜
I love watching your process! The cover turned out beautiful!
Aww thanks 🥰
Oh Joie this is just fabulous in every way! I so appreciate you sharing with all of us. Yes I would love a video on the creating those faux stamps. Hope you have a beautiful week ahead.
Oooh thanks Linda....those stamps will definitely go on the list!! 💜
This looks fantastic! I’ve done 2 videos so far on my altered book and hope to get the 3rd done this weekend, I’m really enjoying the process xxx💕
Let me take a look at those videos!!
joie de fi thank you xxx💕
I'm catching up.....that black book...the inside cover. So lovely. Great video...we should all watch it 😁💜
Coming over to watch 😊👏🏼😊
Enjoyed watching your creative process. Thanks!
You're very welcome Sandra, thanks for popping over here to watch!! 😁👍🏻💜
I love this. Oh how I labor over what to choose. I enjoy watching your process. I'm trying to follow along. I really enjoy this type of video from you. To spend a few moments inside your thoughts. Tfs 😊
Awww thank you!!! Really pleased that you enjoyed it! 💜🍁
Oh this is great love listening to you and I have my altered book ready from your previous video, I want to do an Autumn journal so I thought I would do that. Love faux stamps so a video would be great love how you put things together thank you for sharing can't wait for the next one.x
Autumn will work beautifully as a theme 😁🍄🍁🌿
Greetings Joie from Australia. Really enjoy your videos.I also love altering old books. Have a great day.
Hello Australia.... here you are!! Have a great week...thanks so much for popping by to watch 😁💜🍁
I'm going to follow along with you! So much fun! TFS Hugs!
Awesome thanks 😊❣️
Your work is so amazing!!! I love what you have done. Blessings and Hugs 🤗
Aww.....too kind...😁❣️
I love your collages & how you explain how you get there. I would love to see a video on the stamps. Thanks for all you do.
I'll do the stamp video Sheri....😁👍🏻❣️❣️❣️
Your altered book is coming along quite nicely Jolie TFS 🌺 Elizabeth
It's getting there!! Thanks Elizabeth 💜😍
Beautiful cover! Enjoyed hearing why you chose the images you used! I don’t know how I missed the 1st video in this series! Will be going back and watching it!
Splendid, good to see you here again Susan😁💜
Just finished watching this (had to watch in two parts). Absolutely love how everything is coming together, lovely toadstool images, super cute 🙃 . Lovely video as always, yep I am working on my altered book project as we speak x
Whahay, so many of us want to see your book 😁😁😁
Love seeing your altered book come to life! So much inspiration here! There is something magical about using vintage books, isn't there! Looking forward to continuing our little series together! :) Hugs, Barbara
I'm really enjoying this series together too Barbara. I keep seeing magic on your channel.... always something new!! I don't know how you do it 😃❣️🌿
Thank you for sharing your process. Creating the cover for me is difficult at times as it is the first part to defining the journal.
That's exactly it....it makes such a difference doesn't it? 💜🍁👍🏻
Tfs I learn so much from you
Very kind of you Sherry 😁💜❣️
I love everything you made in this video. I have a few favourites on KZhead and you're high up on my list! Inked edges is very nice, I see it everywhere, but I can't find them in the shops here so I don't have any. And you have shown me that I DON'T NEED THEM! You make beautiful pages/pockets/collages whitout any ink! Thank you for showing that I can stop looking out for ink pads!!! 🤗❤
You definitely can do it without 👍🏻😁💜🍁
You are extraordinarily talented! I love your instructional style, and I especially appreciate how you "audition" many items, letting us see your thought process. My art journals tend to be thematic, and I'm wondering, are you adding all the little items because of a color theme, an art style, a theme? I've been making some of the pockets you show, but I tend to think they should all follow the theme of the page I'm creating. Also, do you create any of your own images- draw, paint, sketch, etc? I may have missed that, but I suspect you also have a flair in that area. Thanks again!!
Hi Carol...check out my home page.....there are several playlists that might interest you... including ones doing both art and junk journal spreads. I look for a family of colours but also pattern sizes which go. I look for a big pattern, a medium and a small....or at least variety. Hope you will be back for more... welcome to my channel and to the family 😊💜🍄
We have the same ink pen.
Lovely isn't it!!!!
Joie, this is delightful! I would say about the text that is upside down, that sometimes that is good to keep one from being distracted from what the words say. The mushroom board page may be a good book board as a marker, and to place under a page for smoothness. I do love sunflowers, and that stamp is colored exquisitely! I hope it finds a home in the book somewhere! I have books that size and color that I modify and use for my journals. Mostly I remove the text block and add pages, non-sewn, as Barbara has shown us. I think I need to consider decorating the front, and you've given a wonderful example and inspiration here! Hugs! Peggy
Lovely feedback...thank you so much!! 😁❣️🍄🍄🍄
I like that you're not covering the handwritten name and date on the inside of the cover. 👍
👍👍❤️
I just started by first altered book. I am only at the beginning stage of tearing out and gluing pages together. I will be moving to the decorating stage soon. So I am coming alone with you for the journey. ADEBO
Fantastic!!!! Great to have you on board 😊❣️
Love this video! Yes the indecision slows me down in the beginning, sometimes in the middle too. 🤣🤷🏻♀️ I've got 3 spreads left in my Altered and I'm ready to move on now. 🤣🤣🤣 Your mushrooms picture is amazing. That deserves a frame!
Awww, how lovely! Great to see you here, thanks so much for watching and for leaving a comment. Seems like we both get a bit stuck sometimes 😁❣️🍄
Lovely
Thanks Becky 🤩
Thank you
😁👍🏻💜
💚💚💚
I am following you on the process and getting ideas for my cover! Love it.
Splendid!! Lovely to see you here Liz, see you soon I hope, joie 🌿🍄💜
I've also been trying to make my own postage stamps as I've become addicted to them so I would love to see how you do yours.
I will film it Avril😁💜👍🏻
Ikr I've been making them for awhile now little stamps and tiny stamps.. don't get me started on tags lol
LOL! 😁👍🏻💜
Oh my dear, you have made that 🌻 jump off my iPad when I saw it after you added colors. The “Toad Stools” are fabulous. I like the punch with the “fluted”edge. What size is your punch you used for your toadstool? It’s lovely using chalks. I’ve not been using mine. They are old, but I’ll check I really love the look. Absolutely! I would enjoy a stamp tutorial. Thank you Joie. You are truly amazing 🌷
Awww Cheryl ❤️ Let me check the punch size. We love those little toadstools don't we😁❣️
🙏💎🙏🏿💜🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 blessing. May 16..
I'll try to keep up. I have a book
Sounds good Mary K! 😊❤️
First I love you ideas always. I have books that I usually remove the text block from but if you don't do that and leave the pages in there does it get too bulky?
I think that it does need some removing Tyna. I suspect that I might have to remove a few more 😁💜
January ..10/2024 🙏🙏😇💎
Hey there. Here to ltsen to your lovely voice ang send my love.
Awww Mark 😁💜💜💜
Hi Joie! I’m just starting the video but I had to stop and ask where you found the toadstool stamp. It’s lovely! Off to craft with you through the rest of the video. -Rachel
Aaah, I found it on eBay...I manage my budget so I look out for pretty things that pop up from time to time....😁💜
joie de fi thanks for taking the time to answer. I definitely need to stick to a set budget and hold myself accountable. You must have incredible willpower. I will keep an eye out for autumn stamps too.
Hi, do you set the chalk with a fixative so it doesnt rub off?
That's a great question. Sometimes I add a light spray of hairspray, which seems to be an accepted way of setting things. I don't have anything that's a fancy art product to do this. 👍😁💜
@@joiedefi thankyou!

😁👍🏻💜
Hello dear friend 🦋
Hello Cheryl!😁💜
💖😊🙋♀️💐

Hi I'm here
Hello Esta.... lovely to meet you. Welcome to my channel!! 😁👍🏻💜🍁
Lamy
I'm writing a list in my journal with it at the moment!!!!
@@joiedefi I love them.
Beautiful job, but the mushrooms look out of place in terms to color, time and theme.
Fair comment Gia, the white is quite stark. 💜
@@joiedefi maybe some of that distress ink magic will cure that right up 💓
Good thinking ❤️🍄
You do not sew pages in you left the pages in you did not take all the pagers out so you really didn't strip the book you just left some of the pages in
You're right. I left pages in.
Thank you
