The Strawberry Shortcake picture is EVERYTHING!!!
I love it too🍓
AMEN! I love this and LOVE NO SEW! yes, I'd love to see how to / how YOU add to the front
I just found your channel after looking for junk journal tutorials where they aren't all brown and a bit too grungy for my taste. Anyway I loved this video and your style, thank you so much and I started my own journal whilst I was watching along 💌
No sew is a great quick journal. Thanks.
I prefer no sew and glue in all my books. The sewing looks nice, but I can live without it. Yours looks lovely.😊 and yes, I made it to the end; it was easy🍳
Aww thank you so much! and thank you so much fro watching😃
I'm the same way. I can take it, or leave it. But it really does look nice
Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to try!!
I love this! Thank you for taking the time to show us how to make it.
Yes please show more tutorial for inside composition book ideas.
I work on the inside of these journals every week on my Patreon Lives🥰🥰🥰
I love the fresh, clean, light-hearted look of your journals. They’re so fun. Another way to cover the front and back is with fabric, ironed on using Heat and Bond. The edges don’t ravel and the fabric takes on the feel of a cloth-bound book. Thanks for the inspiration. I’m going to look for some kids books when I make my candy-themed journal.
A candy-themed journal is such a fun idea!
oh how fun a candy theme journal!!!
Just watched this for the 2nd time. So cute! I’ve been gathering my supplies and got my comp book yesterday at Dollar Tree. Looking forward to making mine. TFS!
This is a practical but oh so pretty journal. Love how lovely it turns out using many of my favourite things. (Mary)🇨🇦
thank you so much Mary!
I love your choice of colorful papers. Beautiful job.
I've watched this loads. I love watching the process and have followed it religiously when making my journal. 😊
Love watching you put this together, thank you
You make absolutely wonderful journals! And your tutorials are the best! Thank you for sharing with us!❤
You do not need a tiny attacher. They are over rated! Love your creative journal.
OH OK! IM on the fence for sure:))
Love to see part 2 ! The journal is so colorful !
Sounds great! I will do an part 2 for sure:)
@@thriftydayis part 2 available now
Thank you sooo much! This was exactly the video I was searching for! Thank you!!
No sew journal works for me.
Super cute. Love the addition of the ruffles and trims. Will definitely try this! TFS!
Thank you so much!
This was very fun to watch.
I have also touched up my staples with a drop of paint. That works, too.
oh that a cute idea!!
oh my gosh how did I not know there are gold staples?!! LOVE it! Thanks for sharing as always, lovely journals! Sommer
right?? Gold staples make me feel fancy lol!! Thanks for watching!
The tutorial was excellent! Very clear and easy to understand! I’ve never made a junk journal before but I’m interested in learning how to make them. I do believe that I would prefer the no sew even though I do have a sewing machine and can hand sew as well. I’m not me if I’m not covered in glue! 🤣 I really appreciate the way you explain everything so even a dummy like me can follow along! Happy journaling! 😊
awwww thank you!! Im so happy you found the tutorial easy to follow❤ Im always worried I talk too much and throw everyone off🤪
I LOVE how you use all the different trims and ribbons. It just adds so much ❤
Aww thank you! I love making journals easy and fun!!
Love this idea! I conduct a JJ club at the high school I work at. I will be using your inspiration for our next project. Thank you
This is "no sew" cute! My grand daughter (8) would love to make one with me. Thank you for adding another craft to my list of "Gotta Dos!" Lol
aww thank you for watching! So happy you like it😃
Love no sew. Love Rebecca Hoot. She set me free with journal making and such! She taught me to understand that nothing is perfect and there are no mistakes in crafting. Great video!! 💖
Oh that's wonderful! Love her and her channel so much!!
I really enjoyed this going to give it a try. I still also love to sew my pages in my junk journals as well.
I was excited when I saw this tutorial. I love how you go old school with tape and staples.
Awww thank you so much!!
Thank you I’m learning now how to put a junk journal together new 28:35 here I just rang your bell 🛎️ looking forward to knowing you ❤👍♥️☘️
Love the gingham on strawberry shortcake journals daughter loved str shortcake as a toddler we had the theme kitchenette
Aww me too!! My whole room was strawberry shortcake🍓 It was bright yellow and my momma made me green gingham cutains💚🍓
I just discovered you &I love your no sew journals. I really like the simplicity of them as well! Can’t wait to start making my own. I’ve made several journals that are sewn together but I haven’t made any in awhile because I’m dreading all the work that goes into it. Yes, the Tim Holtz staplers are smaller & I love it! You can use a permanent marker to color the staples, so cool! I’ve subscribed to your channel & look forward to seeing more journals!
I'd love to see a part 2 with pages!
I work on the inside on my Patreon LIVES every Tuesday 🥰
I would love to see your sewing methods, because you don't use the machine, so I imagine if it is like "sewing" our j.j. into spines. Thank you for your colors! It really gives me inspiration to do my own j.js again. ❤
Wonderful!! So happy to hear😊
I love the idea of using composition books, i have so many and now don't nees to cut up a book that is that size!
I’m a new subscriber and I just LOVE your style and your voice is so positive and lifts a bad mood…..thanks!
I’ve made a couple of composition book journals on my own without watching any tutorials. I’ve learned so many new things here. I especially love washi taped edges and adding in pages with clear tape. Thank you
oh how wonderful!! Makes me so happy to hear:)) Thanks for watching Susan 😊
So happy I found this. I want to combine a bullet journal with my junk journal and wasn't quite sure how it would work out but now I can't wait to get started. THANK YOU!! FYI: watched it twice😅
aww yay!! Love hearing it and thank you for watching!!
Yes we are going to have a cousins day to make a no sew journals we can’t wait
Thank you I prefer no sew and I adore how this looks
wonderful and thanks for watching!
You're so fun to watch and listen too. Love your no sew idea and it is soooo cute. Thanks for sharing.
Tiny attachment staples by Tim Holtz are definitely smaller than standard. I use both. Love this video.
New to you, great tutorial. I love my tiny attacher. The staples are super tiny and strong, I use it to attach everything, including fabric embellishments, I even use the tiny stables as embellishments too. 😊
I would love to see how you put the calendar pages in and how you set it up to journal in. Also, great idea for making a stapled ruffle, as ive done it with glue which was much messier? This was so cute, thanks for sharing!
Hi Monica! I actually completely set up and add calenders etc on my Patreon LIVE:) I also work in my daily journals every Tuesday on Patreon Live so my Patreon can see the process:))
@@thriftyday ok great. Are the lives recorded?
Love this way of making a composition book look "fancy". This would be a great project for the grandchildren.
so happy you like it😊 It would be perfect for the kiddos:))
Ali Express has tons of the flower border!!!! And so cheap❤!
I love it !! I would love to see sew journal too! Thanks 🦋💖
This tutorial was so good 😊 that I subscribed! You taught me the KISS Principle method and I think I can learn and embrace a lot from your work! Thank you for sharing! Take care!
The journal is very cute, I love it, beautiful. I like the glue junk journal. Congratulations.
I'm starting one of these tonight! Thank you for the instructions!!
that’s exactly how I do my journals! I was doing them monthly but it’s getting way too overwhelming so I think I’m just going to make one and just use it when I feel like it. I, also, love ricrac!
that's awesome!! I agree, keep it easy:))
Thoroughly enjoyed this video 🎉
Made it to the end. 🩷 I painted a composition book cover with black gesso, I’m going to paint flowers on it and add a little title cover thingy. 🌺🌸🌺
oh I bet that will be beautiful!!
I'm so glad that I found your site. I really like the style of junk journals you are making. Tyfs
Thank you so much Michelle!
Very cute! I will give this a try on a small journal before I tackle a composition book.new subscriber here!🇨🇦
So pretty..can’t wait to make one.

I am new to your channel and Junk journaling in general; love this idea with the composition notebook. I was excited to see you glue pages together because I did that with my first journal in January 😊❤
Hi I am new to your channel and I love everything. Yes I make composition book journals and I do watch Rebecca Hoot. I grew up sewing and had that hobby for most of my life. I switched to paper so I did not have to sew.....Thank You for sharing.
I agree, I do love to sew signatures but that's where my sewing ends lol Thank you for watching!
Hi, I am new to your channel. I love this video because it is no so I am from Ontario Canada.
I just finished my notebook (started yesterday), and i love how it turned out! I love the washi tape look on the edges, so i left it that way. Thanks for the video! 😊
happy to hear!!🥳🥰
Absolutely love it! 💕 Thank you for making it!
I'd love to see the sewn tutorial
I loveeee this! Thank you for the clear, simple instructions. Can't wait to try 😍
thank you Kelly!
I absolutely love your No Sew Journal. The book pages are cute and I love how you did the edges with washi tape and really like the ruffle trim. I have to make one of these. Thank You for sharing ❤ Have a Blessed week 💕🌷
So happy you like it!! Thank you so much for watching!
Wipe your scissors with a baby wet wipe and the masking tape won’t leave a sticky adhesive to your scissors. ✂️ I don’t remember where I saw this but I have tried it and wow does it work!!
Enjoyed your video very much. Your creativity is amazing. Tfs❤️
Love this! Step 2 PLEASE!!! ❤😊
Yay!! OK:))
So enjoyed your video! I will be trying this out! It looks like so much fun. Thank you for sharing.
I made it to the end and really enjoyed it!
Wonderful! Thank you for watching :))
Love this. I love the idea of using duct tape on spine, washi on the pages and the no sew ruffled trim. Can't wait to see part 2.
This is what I'm doing now. The sew journals scare me, plus I don't have a sewing machine. I never thought of tape to add pages. Genius!
So happy you like it! thank you for watching!
Love this video! Thank you for sharing! I would love to see a sew tutorial!
Sounds great and thank you for watching!!
I really love your pink duct tape😊I like to use clear tape to add extra pages too
Oh that’s a great idea!!!!

Aww thank you so much and welcome:))
IT'S TOO CUTE! REBECCA HOOT GOT ME INTO JUNK JOURNALING, BUT I DO LOVE THE NO SEW...I DO THAT WITH MINE ALREADY. ABOUT THE STAPLE THING, I WOULD JUST COVER STAPLES WITH RIBBON, OR WASHI (DEFINITELY GLUE WASHI DOWN 😂)...BUT THE STAPLES ALSO COME IN DIFFERENT COLORS AS WELL, I LOVE ALL THE OPTIONS. I HAVE 3 DIFFERENT JUNK JOURNALS GOING RIGHT NOW...ALLOWS ME TO JOURNAL BY MY MOOD. SO GREAT JOB ON YOUR TUTORIAL AND I'M A NEW SUB NOW! ❤
Oh I love that! Rebecca is so lovely!!!! I have 3 journals going too!!🩵
This is AMAZING!!! I love Love *LOVE* This type of Journal! I'd love you to show us your Mini Journal & maybe a Tutorial doing that one! I LOVE THIS!!!
I love it!!!! I am gonne start this week to make my own!!! O and part 2 is always nice! 🎉
So inspiring! I wondered about no sew because I just don't want to be bothered dealing with a sewing machine. I love using the children's books too! Composition books are one of my favorites to grab during back-to-school clearance sales and this is a whole new use for them.
oh me too!! Sometimes on clearance sales you can get them for like 10 cents!!
Love it & Yes please do a part 2💕 I love Rebecca Hoot!!!!
Isn't Rebecca the best?? Will do for sure!
This is great. Thanks. Would love to see more no sew. Especially how you use this as a planner.
Hello,I would love to see the mini on the go!!!❤
I totally agree with no sew journals are the best way to go for me. Yes I will plan on using this tutorial.
So happy to hear and thank you!
I watched this video last night on my Roku. Your no-sew journals look beautiful. It’s good to see that a no sew journal can look as nice as a sewed journal. Sewing signatures is my least favorite part of making a junk journal so I will definitely try this technique.
thank you so much for watching!! So glad you liked it:))
Love using glue, staples, and tape to create and decorate my journals. Love your staple ruffles!!
Thank you!! Me too!! Easy peasy!!
I’m a Care Bears fan too! I’m definitely interested in trying this! Thank you for sharing!
I really need to make one of these!! So cute
Aww thanks!
I did make it to the end!!😊
Oh yay!! Im a talker so they tend to be long🤪
