I finally feel justified for saving all those random scraps of paper- I have full bins of scrap nonsense; old calendars, journals, planners, magazines, clothing tags- (if they were too cute to toss out), and all kinds of randomly found paper scraps- and this is the perfect way to start using all of it! I can't wait to start my own "junk journal!"

Johanna, this is exactly what I needed to watch! I’ve been struggling with collage which sounds silly to me. I think way too much about what to use, colors, texture, etc. I then get frustrated and then it isn’t fun. Thank you for sharing your process. I would really enjoy this type of series where you share tips and ideas. I so appreciate the inspiration 😊

It helps to have bags of a variety of scraps. Look around the house; old sheet music books, thank you/ bday cards, gift wrap, newspaper roll ends make the perfect pages to dye.

The paper doll outfits are so cute! These tips are so good. Can’t wait to see more of this collage with scraps process! I always feel accomplished when I finally get to use scraps that I’ve been hoarding for too long. Lol😊☺️ this works to break down that block of not knowing or being indecisive what to do, Ty!❤

This has really helped. I'm an over thinker, then I end up being unhappy with the result, so I'm taking your video on board. I love your tips and tricks series. Thank you for your creative ideas :-)

I just had a light bulb moment, maybe you and other people more familiar than I too junk journals have thought if this... So I've had a little golden book and all the papers and things I have collected for my 1st and only grandchild, it was meant to be done on her bday(August3rd) !
I watch her 8 hours a day and have got stuck after putting the new spine in, then fabric. So as I was watching you I realized collage work in a journal is like writing a book in reverse. Less pressure and a random order with the pages that will one day be done be done. It got me thinking, that's how I should approach it.
Do a spread a day or week and no order and assemble when ever. I literally took months to get the nerve to cut open this LGB and I am so stuck. I have her hospital bracelets, her 1st flower, feet print and I have journaled daily about milestones. I saved things and I finally realized, I have time she can't read it and I am letting go of this pressure.
So Sorry for the rambling but after hundreds of videos I just realized that this is like writing.. but it is a collage story, and kind of like later we will add in the written words or photos. I'm hoping this makes sense. Thanks as always

So helpful❣️ I would love to see your process of getting photos printed off/edited. I love how your pictures always fit with the page.

Just got into collaging so this was sooo helpful! Especially about not overthinking and the technique of layers. I put something down and don't want to "mess it up" but it's boring without layers so love you explaining the process of how to do that! <3

Haha. I love the scraps bag. I love saving scraps cause they're so useful in collages and small stuff. You can even recycle and make into more paper.

[PinkOddBird]

I also love the "don't stress over it" approach - it makes the whole process so much more fun! Thanks for sharing your collage tips! ❤️

[jo-sully-anne]

Loved rewatching this again, it inspired me. I did so enjoy these videos you made. X

[retrochristmaschic]

This is just such a beautiful journal cover! Every time I see it, I think it is my favorite! And the papers you chose are perfect!

[lynnmking]

Thank you for the good tips Johanna! I enjoyed hearing you describe your journaling process. It definitely sparked some ideas!

[mellik]

I really like the idea that nothing has to match you just put together what you like. In the end it still comes out pretty. Great video. Appreciate you taking the time to share!

[kariberton]

Great tips on collaging! I tend to overthink and this video really helps.

[terrilarue]

After trying to find a style that is me, and not trying to adhere to someone else's style, I have discovered that I LOVE and am good at Collage! I loved this video and thank you!

[thebarky]

I love all your ideas but I think I am going to focus on a Christmas journal and journal with pictures and cards from my kids. I don’t have talent to draw or paint but I can journal. It’s therapeutic for me. Your ideas have been so helpful.

[angelaem]

The little children's outfits, so pretty! They really added charm to the pages, loved them! Thanks for sharing your journal process tips! ^___^👍🌹

What a wonderful way to just use scraps when you don’t feel like getting messy

[lisajmascord]

Thanks Johanna. Some great suggestions. And great example of adding more layers and the concept of blending.
