Totally agree about the continuing journey of learning throughout our lives . Since my 70 th birthday in August 2019 , I have learnt so much and still have much yet to learn about journaling , art , craft work and people through connecting with fellow journalers and penpals . Thank you Joie for pointing me in the right direction .
Awww Wyn.....I think we both value the benefits of continuing to learn. It keeps us sparky and alive! Stay safe, joie 🌿💜🍄
Joie, I am so enjoying going back to some of your previous videos - it's amazing how much a person can forget over the months. I love your explanations of why you choose to do the things you do. I really love your quiet, precise way of speaking; we tend to slur our words together on this side of the world. I could listen to you all day. 🇨🇦
Either people get it or don’t,but your video shows just how it’s done,to just play with all those wonderful colors and mediums
Aww Dawn...we get it, don't we? Thanks so much for popping by to watch, and for taking the time to comment 🥰
"Obsessed with paper", aren't we all here for that very reason :-) I love maps! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Missy B!! 😁💜
I come back to your videos over and over again.I can watch your episodes 10 times over and still find something new to learn. It is the same thing I feel when watching 49Dragonflies and Frugal Crafter. Just about all your ideas can be translated to digital art which is what I am doing right now. Colour ideas, exploring themes can be useful for any type of media. Thank you so very much for helping me get through these trying times. Take care and stay safe.
What a fabulous comment..thank you for such positive words. I really appreciate it 🥰❤️😁💐💐💐
I just made some coffee. I decided to take in another showing of this video. It's amazing how you see things differently than the first time. Or see new things you might have missed the first time. The Childrens book pages are wonderful. I love the feel of the older book pages. I do love the watercolor pencils. I have "heard" you talk and show "don't be afraid of writing in your journals. Even on book pages"
That's right Cheryl....I really like those children's book pages too. I'm so pleased that you find my videos comfortable and perhaps comforting to watch. Sending hugs, joie 🌿💜🍄
I absolutely LOVE the way you compare making the journal like a perfume pyramid! I also really like the way you explain the whys of what you are doing. I think it helps us to use that information with our own creativity!
That's fantastic feedback Gale...thank you so much!
I have learned more from you than any other channel. You take the time to say WHY you make the decisions you do. Thank you for taking the time to do that. Your voice is calming to me so I Hank you for that, too.❤️❤️❤️
Very helpful feedback, thank you!!!!
Ah, how I love your philosophy on the art of play, and the play of art! You are so encouraging and inspiring! It’s fun to use up supplies, and it’s fun to get new ones...I got Panpastels I want to try in journaling. I like to use Derwent Inktense blocks and pencils because they are fixed after they dry. I love my watercolors! I seldom use acrylic except for printing, though I am determined to unlock its secrets. Gesso and textured paste are lots of fun layers to add! I like to stencil these for some architecture.
Mmmmm Derwent Intense.... Lovely!!
Gorgeous. Looking forward to making my one. Thanks for all the lovely ideas. Trust you are feeling better. Thinking of you all the way from South Africa.
Thank you
You and I approach junk journalling so differently, and I'm fascinated watching you create. The way you make your vlogs is unique (from my experience) than others I've come across. I've watched enough of yours that I plan to binge watch all of them. Your voice is calm and inviting. You express your thoughts and decisions as you go, staying on topic. You're teaching viewers, but not necessarily to copy you, instead you encourage them to take what they've learned and to play and explore with their own creativity. I wish I could do more than give you a 👍. I intend to incorporate what I'm gaining from you to broaden my repertoire of techniques and creativity. For that I'm very grateful I discovered your channel. *Thank you for sharing.* 🙂
You're so, so welcome!! I can't thank you enough for these immensely helpful words. 💜💜💜
Making sure this counts.💜
I love using bubble wrap for background texture!
.. it's one of those techniques that we really need to use more often!! Thanks for popping by Tarren!!😁👍❤️
Hello Jolie, who knew????? Bubble wrap, what a wonderful surprise. The texture you got with it was wonderful. I am going to try it in my journal. I am a relative newby, just since we went into lockdown in March. I have learnt such a lot and i have discovered a love of journalling. I usually paint on canvas, but during the lockdown ran out of product and so had to find something else to do. Saw your channel in which you used envelopes to make a journal, and BOY, was i hooked. I just love, love, love this new medium {for me} and so have to say a big THANK YOU for introducing me to another art form which i can do anytime with all my {so called} junk and recyclebles. Sending Blessings from Cape Town, South Africa. Diana Fox
Yes I would place in your Etsy shop for the newbies here 😁
Let's see what I can do Tiffany 😁💜
Yes Please!! I’d love to purchase a cover!! They’re sooo beautiful!!
I've made a few... hoping to list a few more in my Etsy shop soon. 😁💜💜💜
So happy to see this video posted - I’ve been eagerly anticipating it!😀. Lots of great ideas - mine is coming along but I’m now wishing I hadn’t given away so many lovely books last year when I downsized :(. If I’d only known I would find a use for them all! I’d love to see more videos Joie - thank you for your lovely words and way of inviting your viewers to join in 💕
Such lovely feedback, thank you so much!
Thank you for inspiring me, today. Yes, remain teachable...... always.💜
👍 I'll try!! 😁💜
I absolutely love watching your videos. They are so well structured and very addictive! Your style of teaching is so enjoyable and stimulating. I usually have a great craft session after you have finished. I live on a farm in Australia and don't see many people and I certainly don't know anyone who journals so crafting along with your video is like having a friend craft with you. Happy New Year to you and your family and keep safe 🌹🌿🍃☕🎨
Awww, that's lovely to hear!!💜💜💜 Happy New Year!!
Your voice is so melodic. I can listen to you all day. The journal turned out so beautiful.
How kind!! Thank you very much!
Love all the opening flaps 💕love your pages
Thank you very much!❤️
I love all the different painting techniques. Thank you for sharing and have a blessed day 🙂.
You too Lynn... sending my best wishes to you 😁💜
This video got my paintings out😍 lots of love from arctic Norrway 🙌🌹🌼🌻🌷
Joie, I can't begin to tell you how much enjoyment I have received from your videos in the short time I've been watching! I just discovered the world of junk journals about a month ago (WHERE have I BEEN?) and I am so totally excited about it! I am following this tutorial step by step and learning so much! Thank you for your work.
Wow Patti, that's excellent!! Thank you very, very much 😃💜💜💜
This video is absolutely fabulous. I learned so much from you today and I really appreciate your tips, suggestions and techniques accumulated I am sure from much of your experiences. I feel like I have been through a mentorship class packed with amazing ideas. There is so much joy and excitement emulating from you. Thank you so much!
Aww, that's so, so good to hear. Thank you. Words like this really motivate me to keep going! 👍😁🌹🌹🌹
Every page is truly unique. Just adore watching, listening for ideas for future projects. I always come away learning more than I knew before you turned on the camera. These pages from your beautiful books are truly amazing. I love the bubble wrap. I have used balloons partially blown up. We might look at the other side of 2020.The virus Covid-19 has been such a horrific illness for now over a million people. I was unwell the entire year and some. However, since I must stay put, Dr. orders as my immune system is very low. However, all that to say, I adore watching your videos, and getting to know you better. A new friend in 2020 rather than focus on that which I can only pray for all who have been involved in the Virus. Physicians, patients, nurses, and then the Election. (enough said) Here in a small corner of the USA I think of my life & the wonderful blessing of having you, and other wonderful, artistic, talented new friends. How are you enjoying sewing? How do you keep the chalks from moving to a place on the previous page? I have found The cushion from previous pages help get a sharp print when you stamp. Loved our time together tonight I apologize for my Novel I’ve seemed to have written. Imagine what my journals look like!! And another day comes to an end in such a wonderful time with you and all your wonderful thoughts and ideas for a future journal. Thank you My soul is quite satisfied. Thank you, my dear friend, Joie. 🤗
It's always a pleasure to read your comments Cheryl....yes let's look forward to 2021. To better times. 💜 Joie ❣️❣️❣️
I so agree with you #Joie. My art and craft have given me a reason to live and helped me to cope with enforced early retirement. I try to watch a mixture of crafting videos from different artists as I believe we create best from seeing their methods. Thank you for sharing. 🦋🌼❤️🤗
It sounds like you are getting there Jean. I know that it's been tough for you....take care 💜❤️
Love watching your videos. Very inspiring and helpful. Thank you so much for your videos.
Thank you!!
Love learning more. I can use up my pieces. You are inspiration. Thanksso much.👍🤗❤️🌱🤗
WOW, you absolutely knocked it out of the park with this project! I'd love to see one with the festive metallic papers as well. Yet again, thank you for the inspiration and for sharing your unending talent!
Awww, thanks Linda.... 💜💜💜
I love your idea of using three layers of notes to create your pages. That will help me! TFS!
Splendid, great to meet you Cass! 😁👍🏻❤️
@@joiedefi thanks! Glad to meet you too!
I love using bubble wrap and paint to create texture. There are so many ways to add texture without too much bulk. Thanks for reminding me to pull out my mixed media texture box and, play! Love this journal! Hugs and blessings, ❤️🤗🇨🇦🎄
We all need a nudge now and again to play with some of our supplies. I've certainly got some that deserve some attention Laura. Great to hear that you enjoyed this.... Hugs from England!!😁🍄
Love revisiting your great videos ❤🙌🏵🌹🌺🌼🌻🌷🍀🍁
I can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying creating a journal like yours. Playing with paint is very new to me so that will be a challenge. A fun one I’m sure. Thanks for your guidance and for sharing.
You're very welcome Jania! 😉💜
As always an inspiring video. I love your enthusiasm to play with your paints, pencils and pockets.
Thanks Margaret.... I guess I'm rather addicted.. lovely to see you here, take care, joie 💜🌿
Loved every moment of this journaling session!!! I love the flip, flop folding pockets and envelopes. The way you construct your pages isn’t only beautiful, but amazingly clever. Can’t wait to have a go of it!!! YFS. I did. God bless and stay safe.
Yay, have fun!!!!!! 🥰
Your Flip Flap add-in envelopes are fabulous!! 😍😍😍
Lots of fun, aren't they 😉👍🏻💜
Really enjoy watching you go through the process of decorating your journal - especially the extras like painting, stamping, and coloring. I don't really think of myself as an artist - more of a cutter and paster, but watching you inspires me to stretch myself and try some of the more artistic elements to my journals. Thanks!
I just have a go...we love the process don't we Kathleen! 👍😁💜
Hi Joie, ofcourse I have seen your video's often , because I love them you are my favorite your have a cam and nice voce and I look every day to see what you have make that is an suprise 🎶🎵 many things I have learned from you . Dont stop Joie lots off love Joke .
😁👍💜💜💜
Just a tip Joie, When using markers please note that you can go over water color with them but there is something about acrylic's that will dry the marker out immediately. I found this out the hard way and while using my only expensive micron marker. I love love spending time learning from you.
Excellent tip!!! Thanks Birdie 😄👍🏻💜
I love this so much, thank you for your generosity in sharing your beautiful journals and ideas.
Aww, Connie, you're very, very welcome 🤭👍💜
The journal is amazing,thanks very much for your wonderfull ideas.Stay strong !
Thank y so much Jose 💗💗💗
I love the color you add to the pages. I'm getting braver and playing with watercolors and pencils.
Fantastic Nola, you can definitely do this!! ❣️
You have great imagination and free spirit
How lovely!! Thank you!💜
Lots of great ideas here. This is an excellent resource for any journal maker. Thanks for sharing!
You're very welcome Kim
This was such fun being with you while you inspired me with your way of creating this journal 🥰👏👏👏😍
Oooh, thanks !!!
Georgous Joie!!! 🤗🐞🥰
Thanks Lala!! ❤️❤️❤️
The analogy of the perfume and journaling was great😀 Imma keep that as my guide. The artist block we get even if we have all the materials is troubling me but well, yeah, this is because we are obsessed with paper😂 More power to your channel Joie💖💖💖
Power to you my friend!!
Yes, I love paper too! Your journal is fun and so pretty. 😻
Thank you!!
Hi Joie, I am new to journaling and you gave me great ideas to start ! I love the use of paints as I am an amateur watercolorist ! I want to have a go now . Thank you for sharing these journals , although it feels a bit overwhelming on how to construct one ! I shall watch more videos to understand better. I certainly want to have a go .
Awesome, and welcome!! Check out my playlists, and I'll help you through it with some more, and relevant videos over the coming weeks...... 😁👍💜
Such a great explanation of the layers, those perfume notes were a great way of explaining the what and why. Thank you, as always, for the inspiration. 🤗❤️
Aww thanks Pam 🥰🥰🥰
Thank for being a great teacher. I can’t wait to go try out the paint techniques.
Fantastic, you're very welcome!❤️
I completed my first junk journal to give to my daughter. It has 3 signatures, one of the folders with the notebook and 2 of the 5 pockets that you have videos for. It was hard for me to know when to stop. I just made things from my stash and just kept cramming it in there. It is so fat and chunky. I hope she loves it. Thanks for your lovely ideas. I have learned so much!
I absolutely love chunky journals. Sounds like you enjoyed yourself, well done!!!!! And you created something both unique and very personal. Perfect!!
Thank you for the motivation and inspiration!!!
You're very, very welcome Liz 😁👍🏻💕
Oh my gosh what wonderful ideas!! Thank you!! Would love to see the Christmas journal
I'll see what I can do 😁💜
Bing bong Bing bong ... tik tak tik tak. I enjoy your putting those sounds to opening the flips back and forth. It is fun to do that! (I read about the 'rule of ablaut republication' that says we like tik tak better than tak tik. The vowels have to be in order I A O to sound right to our ears.)
That's super interesting, I didn't know that!🥰🥰🥰
So many awesome tips !
Very generous 😁😁😁
your journal ideas are so beautifully inspiring. Getting ready for holiday fun and celebrations. TFS! 🎶❤and joy to all.
You're very welcome Susan....I have something festive next weekend 😁👍🏻🎄
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts as you create it has been most helpful. Beautiful pages!
Thank you Lynne!
I loved this video!!! So many ideas and inspiration in a single video! I loved it so much! I will try everything you suggested! Thank you so much, Joie! ♥️
You're so lovely, thanks for all your support ❤️❤️❤️
@@joiedefi 🥰
Oooh all that lovely paper, loved the video, and off to make some envelopes for a journal I am making.x
Fantastic, sounds like you are busy!
I started making « accordeon style folding in my journals after seeing you do it. It makes me happy because i used to feel obliged to cut the pages. Such a fun idea. Thaks. 🦋🌺🌻
Fantastic!! I think it's a useful approach, avoids cutting 👍👍😁💜
Joie, I'm hooked, just love your process and how all the different styles of papers come together and work so well, I'm working on number 3 now.
Fantastic Ann, great to hear that!!😉💖
Hi joie! Love the journal I hope u have a good time journaling TFS ! XOXO !

Thank you Ammiel. If you like collage then you may enjoy my next video...using similar techniques on smaller index cards, I'm having fun with a bunch of other KZheadrs on New Year's Eve. Have fun and stay safe, hugs from over here in England, joie 💜🌿🍄
@@joiedefi oh I was hoping to see some of your collage in digitals.......sold 😂 I haven’t tried making them myself🤔 Have to see, I have made a lot of off the page books with a pattern but this journalling is new to me, see how we go Ive actually joined a group here in my city but the other ladies seem to know what they are doing......😢 Oh well..... 🤷🏼♀️cheers🇦🇺 Cheers 🇦🇺🦋
I will add more to my shop ..... 😁💜💜💜
I have never used paint in my journals, have to try that. TFS 🤗
It's fun Moira 👍😁💜
Fabulous!!! Love these xso clever !
Thank you Vera!!
I love your Ideas! Everything comes together so smoothly. I like to use gesso on some of the pages that are shiny. I also use stencils and inks to blend in the colors. I also cover up things by gluing napkins. TFS Hugs!
Great variety of techniques there Marg! Awesome 😊❣️
Watching again:-)
Fantastic!!!🥰💜
I enjoy your work so I looked up your previous videos. Love it!
Oooh thank you!!👍❤️🤓
Love your channel, so refreshing use what you have and experiment without stress. Also I have just watched your things that are good to buy. As I’m new to junk journaling so helpful.
Fantastic!! We're all learning all the time 😁💜
Love love love it.
Thanks that is great to hear Margaret 💗😊
I would love to see your take on more Christmas bits!
I'll try!! I'm filming some fun, new collage designs tomorrow...😁👍🏻💜
I have used bubble wrap either with stripes horizontally in different felt tip pens sprayed water on then turned it over and pressed on a page also with paints looks pretty
Very imaginative, I'll try that Tina 👍🏻😁💜
This video came just at the right time. I just put my junk journal together and was looking for decorating ideas and tips. #beginnerstruggles...lol
Lol!! It was clearly meant for you Boatie 👍🏻😁💜
I so do the same thing, flip through my used journals. Love that feeling of paper & how the story comes together!
Exactly!!! 😁👍🏻💜
I love your channel!🤗
Awww, that's lovely, thank you!!
Thank u for such a fun project 🌴😍
You're very welcome Annette ☺️💜
An absolute joy, as always! Thank you so much for sharing your talents. Jen❤️❤️
You're very welcome Jen!
I really love this video and so much tips in it...I love how you create this journal.sorry to stop the video but I had to take care of my old little dog who turns 16 on January 3rd.
Aaah Yolanda, I hope that your little dog is ok....we love them so much don't we. 💜🐕
@@joiedefi Yes we do. She is oke.
Lovely journaling session, Joie! I'm so excited that you are experimenting more! :)
I am Barbara... playing with paint, I've seen your mixed media collage. Really enjoyed that video 👍🏻😁💜
I love your collage covers. Just purchased your set now as I was watching you here. Can't wait too have it in my hands. Exciting!
I'll package it up and send it to its new home! 😁👍🏻💜
@@joiedefi Excited
Great job love it
Thanks Egypt!!💜
Thank you for sharing as I'm a beginner so this is good for me
Great to meet you, welcome to the family, welcome to my channel ☺️❤️
@@joiedefi Ty happy to be here
This is a beautiful and so practical video. So lovely to walk along with you as you create. Thank you 💕
Great to see you here again!! 😉❤️❤️❤️
@@joiedefi 😉❤️❤️❤️
Yes I have used bubblwrap as stamping it's so much fun effective and cheap I love this technique too. Your journal is so gorgeous
Thank you very much indeed!! 😁💜💜💜
love watching your videos, they are informative and relaxing, per this video you used my name, my dad had a thing for unique names. And yes, it's my real name, Fin-ness
How about that!! Welcome on board, and such a lovely comment 💜 Sounds like maybe I should keep going... I'm filming something really simple tomorrow..some glue book collage. Hope to see you soon Finness🥰👍
Fabulous
Thanks very much 💓
December.30...2023. 🙏🙏🙏💎😇
Thank you. I loved learning about the layering process and techniques. Also love that you have used many printables. A gorgeous journal.
Thank you, great feedback!! Welcome Erin! 😁💜
Love this! TFS Could you direct me to a video of your simple envelopes? Thx
I certainly can Jan! Here we are... kzhead.info/sun/mL2RiJmRjneelpE/bejne.html 👍🏻😉💜
Thank you dear! Very nice and helpful
Could you tell me the make of the metallic paints please. Thank you
Beautiful as always! I love seeing the ideas you come up with. I love using paint and my Gelli plates for backgrounds in my junk journals. I use it mostly on tags. However I do use the water color for regular page backgrounds. I love the look!
Gelli plates sound like a lot of fun!
Wow Joie this decorating session was so relaxing and inspiring. Love the bubble rap painting and the glittery paints. Thank you for sharing with us your creating process. ❤❤❤
Lovely to see you here again Elena....and thank you!
I've finished the cover and now the inside. I find it difficult because I think too straight color by color and item by item. but you don't have to. I have all kinds of paper and also different kinds of written text and font, so it should work for once. I really want to make a journal like this. I really like this so much
Aww Marthy.....you can definitely do this, your collage designs are excellent! 😁❤️💜💜💜
@@joiedefi ☺
