My Journals & Junk Journaling

[sharoncaillier]

I don't know how I missed this video. I love your journals. I have the distressor and have not used it yet. I would like to know how many pages you distressed at one time for your journal.

i think this is going to be liberating for me because i have a hard time cutting into my papers and when i do i feel like i want to use every last bit of it. but also if i make something and then give it away i wont see that favorite paper again but if i do this i can always have it to inspire me and i can journal about why i loved the paper or flower or bling, etc.

this is really really great! thanks Bona!

I have never heard of the phrase "junk journaling." I use a book and write and create and share myself in a journal... never knew I was junk journaling... :-) thanks for sharing.. love your style as you well know... have a super day. Penny

I love the idea of a junk journal. I definitely have a lot of junk. I still put singles of things back into my stash (my storage consists of a cabinet, two rolling totes, and an egg crate for my scraps. I also have a forest of shoe boxes piled on the top of my cabinet.) Since I have such a small space, the only way to keep things organized is to have designated areas for things. I might make a junk book for myself, and the start of another for my youngest. He'd love it. tfs Dera

You are so inspiring. What an incredible talent! I'm learning so much! Thank you for your wonderful posts. Question: Does RAK stand for "random act of kindness?"

Have a great day. -- holly

@hippadippa

Hi Holly. Yes, it does.

[cindysms]

Thanks for sharing, I am going to pull mine out, I like to incorporate my stash. Do you write a lot in your books or mostly just inspirational sayings etc.

@cindysms

Hi Cindy! I do have one that I haven't shown that I write my personal thoughts in.

[CFlovesRB]

Hi Bona, you are such a inspirational woman, love your journals! You got me addicted in making these. And you are right, you don't have to finish this immediately. Just whenever you feel like it. That is a lot of fun. TFS

[pinkscrapper99]

Thanks for the great tips on storing your scraps together by company in freezer bags! I just throw them in one container, I am going to seperate mine like you do. I also liked how you store left over embellishments in a container together! Thanks for all your other ideas for art journals, I appreciate it. Thanks, Coleen
