I have just started junk journals, a little late to the party, and your video has been so helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!

I am so impressed that you have notebooks with "recipes" for your journals. That never occurred to me! But, I mostly fly by the seat of my pants. Ha! But, these folding patterns, and your formula, while I do them, having actual plans for them is brilliant. This was a really helpful video, even for seasoned journal makers. Thanks so much, Kathleen!

Kathleen, thank you so much for re introducing these videos for all of us who have no idea where to begin. You are so patient and clear in your instructions. It sure is helping me to set goals for myself and not feeling overwhelmed and thinking i have to do this all at once. I love your idea of "formulas". I dont have a printer and am saving for a sewing machine. I have less anxiety after watching and listening to you. Thank you. ❤!!!

Kathleen: good tutorial. Since crafters are so creative having a plan is good, but wonderful surprises usually happen along the way. And that’s what it is all about. Fun watching you do your crafting. Thanks, Carol from California

So many creative tips and tricks included in this video! It was really fun to watch you choose and then mix and match each piece. Your notebook filled with ideas and measurements was a huge treat! AND your penmanship is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!❤️🤗

I found this to be fascinating! I love the way you showed the strategy. I love the term "sparkle papers". Thanks so much!

New subbie here. I’ve been making junk journals for years and I’m finding everything you do here (I’ve been binging all week) so inspiring and fresh. I love the way you break it down and make it all so clear. I took a break from making journals for a few months and I just assembled a new journal that I plan to decorate with all of your fun ideas. Thank you for your amazing inspiration.😍🌻👍

I love watching your assembly of signatures, Kathleen. Having a formula/system, even if it’s just a guide, makes my brain very happy! 😘 After watching you for a long time, I knew that you would have a process for doing this. Thank you for sharing it with us! 🥰 You have another awesome journal on the way! 😀💞
