First, I absolutely hung in to the end. While I admire so many crafters out there who are incredibly inspiring. You are by far one of my favorites. It looked like so much fun to make. So full of great texture, color, quotes, notes, flower, etc. She is sure to love it and cherish it.

[scrapfaire]

You are so inspirational, thanks so much!!

[dalerose600]

Carlene is a lucky lady! I love all the wonderful things you put in here.

[canadianscrappergirl]

Awesome journal Yolanda! I like the idea of putting your touch on it I think it makes the project much more personal and heartfelt then just doing something that a partner gives clear direction on what they want. I got lots of great ideas from your journal I love this type of journal rather then the inked up scrunched up type those just are too chaotic and messy for me lol. TFS!

[KimScrapper]

Love your journal and I really like your explanation about making it your own, I think that is what gives it more meaning because it part of you and made with her, I am sure she will love it, tfs

[giftshoppe2]

love the junk journal!

linda in tx

Not only did I "hang in" but I got a snack too! (rice crispy treat, in case you were wondering) anyways, I love all your video's, I really do! I'm making myself a journal tomorrow, after getting so much inspiration from yours! I will also be making my sister one, she just got married last Friday, & her new husband owns a small plane, and they have so many trips planned, how great would it be to take this & journal/document everywhere they go?! Thank you for all your inspiration always!! Corene

[MsKathy07]

Wow, I am overwhelmed by your generosity - what a gorgeous stash to dip into! I enjoyed watching every single page! I wish I had the energy to work on something like this! I love your stamp collection! Love the paper bag pages!

[yoliebean]

@MsKathy07

I've actually met Carlene in person and had lunch with her. She is very sweet and generous herself, it was very easy to make something she'd love. I had a great time creating it and I hope she treasures it always. TFW

[EspaidelaGina]

Absolutly gorgeous, you did a great job, she is one lucky lady!

Hugs Gina

[yoliebean]

@EspaidelaGina

Thanks Gina! I had so much fun making it. And Carlene sent me such awesome stuff with my journal! We were both lucky ladies this month!

[naviegirl]

Wow you did a great junk girl its hard to do a quick video with showing so much pretty work love every bit of it have to make one for myself after walking your videos I don't do much journaling how can you get in to writing your feelings or events...

[yoliebean]

@naviegirl

Thank a bunch! You are right it is very tough to do a short video when you want to show so much. I really like giving ideas on things, or what works easier for me. As for journaling, it can be tough at first but it gets easier.

[CFlovesRB]

I love love the junk journal! Thanks for the inspiration.

[yoliebean]

@CFlovesRB

You are so very welcome! TFW!

[suralear1]

How fun to make such a pretty junk journal. I need to make one. I have so many scraps that are just sitting and collecting dust. Thank you for the inspiration!

Hugs, Sharon

[yoliebean]

@suralear1

Oh Sharon take out those scraps and put them to work! You will be amazed at how quickly you get going on these and just add stuff. Great way to use up your crafty stash!

[Jorjafox1000]

WOW, i absolutely love it and i'm sure Carlene will as well. Thanks so much for the inspiration, must make my own junk journal. So enjoy your videos, even when they are long, i never get bored. Thanks again, Jorjafox

[yoliebean]

@Jorjafox1000

Thank you so much! I try and keep you guys entertained until the very end! LOL.

[crazyaboutcrafts]

Love the Junk Journal great job....

[yoliebean]

@crazyaboutcrafts

TFW! They are so much fun to make!

[WhatYouMakeIt1]

Yollie....WOW and WOW again!!!!!!!! Carlene is going to LOVE it! I LOVE it....anybody would LOVE it! *smile* Love all the lovely details and variety of textures - such a treasure trove of lovely goodness!

I was laughing that you thought people might not want to watch to the end....cause I am on my 3rd time through! LOL So into my FAVES! Shine on Bean!

[yoliebean]

@WhatYouMakeIt1

Awwww I'm blushing! So glad you hung in until the end....did you have to pack a lunch? HEE HEE. I truly enjoyed making this! Now I want another one for myself...TFW!

[kayluvs2scrap]

Yolie you did such a fab job as usual! I am sorry I missed out on that swap but hopefully I can catch the next one. I loveeeeeee making these junk journals so much fun! The greatest thing is you get rid of all your leftover stuff! tfs its so very cool!

~Kay

[yoliebean]

@kayluvs2scrap

Hi Kay,

Thanks so much! These journal are just the perfect project to use up odds and ends! TFW!

[momsydr]

You made a ton of sense to me ;-)...thanks yoliebean.......Carlene's a lucky girl to receive something from your heart like this.....tfs.......hugs Debbie:-)

[yoliebean]

@momsydr

Thanks Debbie! It was really fun doing this swap! I liked the idea of using up some of my crafty stash! I feel lighter, lol. TFW!

[bleigh8793]

I made my own junque/art journal, and I used rings on purpose. I don't have my life all chronologically planned out like some kind of blueprint. It's an adventure and who knows WHAT'S going to happen, right?! So that's why I like the rings better! I can move things around whenever, and for whatever reason I want! I like that, and that, like you say, there are no rules! Loved all your pages and embellishments, and I liked how you turned the bag into double side pockets too! TFS! ~tina

[yoliebean]

@bleigh8793

Thanks Tina! I'm not much into chronological order either! It's way to much planning and then you totally limit yourself while creating because "it didn't happen then"....LOL. Glad you liked it! TFW!

[TheNannybee11]

Hi Yollie! You have the most magical way of taking many wonderful elements and putting them together to create an absolutely beautiful composition. This was a real page turner! I love seeing it unfold and you turned the pages.....just beautiful. Your partner is soooooo lucky to get this from you.

[yoliebean]

@TheNannybee11

Oh Maureen you are so super sweet! I did have the best time making it and I hope Carlene enjoys every bit of it! These are so great to make and you really do use up alot of your stash this way! TFW!~

[beckwhitty]

Great junk jounal. Nothin junky about it!

[yoliebean]

@beckwhitty

Got that right chick! Aint no junkin' around this joint!

[deelee01]

awesome book ....love the colors and all the little touches.....TFS

DL;0)

[yoliebean]

@deelee01

Oh thank you! Without trying I really kept the colors the same and they flowed together. TFW!

[Leasy46]

Very nice job! It has inspired me to make one for my sister. She could use something like this right now. tfs

[yoliebean]

@Leasy46

I'm sure your sister will love what you make for her. These are so fun to make and really a no worry project. TFW!

[deettle]

I love the junk journal you made Yolie. It's funny, I started working on one today and I just took a break to watch some vids and saw the quote you put in yours, "If you want to be happy, be." I had just finished using a rub on of the same quote on one of my tags.

[yoliebean]

@deettle

What a coincidence! I love that quote! Glad I saved it off the scrapbook paper. These journals are tons of fun and so easy to fill up with cool stuff.

[redhotscrapper]

That's beautiful.

[yoliebean]

@redhotscrapper

TFW! I really had fun making this for Carlene!

[faithlovefamily]

is the pages just paper not on chipboard ? right ? I totally love this book !!!!!

[yoliebean]

@faithlovefamily

Yes it's just paper, only the covers are chipboard covered with canvas. Glad you like it!

[KarenScraps]

Oh, this is sooo beautiful! So much creativity flowing from you, as always. Can you tell me the name of those two edge punches, esp the big flower one...? You can never have enough punches, LOL! TFS, Karen

[yoliebean]

@KarenScraps

Hi Karen,

Thank you so much! I so enjoy making these. I don't know the name of the punches. I can just tell you I got them from Joann's and they are EK Success punches. I just looked at them and they don't have names on the actual punch itself. I will show them in my next video for you, hopefully you can get a better look. TFW!

[TERIBERI2]

HI YOLIE!!! This book is FABULOUS!! Love to see all the little goodies you used on it......all the different ribbons, embellishments, etc. Your work is always so amazing. Thanks for all your inspiration!! Hugs, T

[yoliebean]

@TERIBERI2

Thanks Miss T! I loved creating if for Carlene! I'm really trying hard not to hoard the goodies I won from you! LOL....It's tough though! TFW!

[4591mazda]

Yolanda Awesome Junk Journal. Thank you for sharing. I have picked up a lot of ideas from you on creating this junk journal. The whole journal is so pretty. Again, Great Job

[yoliebean]

@4591mazda

Oh thank you so much! I'm really having a great time using up little odds and ends in my craft stash! There isn't a right or wrong way to do these and they are tons of fun. Glad you found inspiration!

[yoliebean]

@zolawinnie

Thanks for watching. I'm really happy with how it turned out!

[iluvtojournal]

Like the pinks on the cover.  One of a kind--no two would be the same. I watched 2x so I would not miss a thing--got some great ideas. The rings for binding does give Carlene more freedom. The clip on the last page is a brilliant idea.

[yoliebean]

@iluvtojournal

Thank you so much! I really did enjoy making this. My only problem is in the end when all is said and done I'm like....."Do I have to give it away?" LOL....These are so much fun to make! And you are right no two are the same.

[cabettsutubeuser]

Very very nice Yolanda!

[yoliebean]

@cabettsutubeuser

Thanks so much Christina. This was a really great swap! Lots of fun

[lindababyus]

love the junk journal its beautful like you I just cant stop making these things I think I will make a bunch of them and give them away for christmas

[yoliebean]

@lindababyus

Linda that is a great idea! I really want to make some up for my nieces. Imagine all the gifts I can knock off my list if I start now!

[Scrappinology]

You did a super awesome job with this Yolie.... I just know Carlene will adore this and if she doesn't you have my addy! bwahahahahahaha j/k I loved the way you used the card as a pocket...I will be stealing that idea lol! and probably stealing the tag bag idea too! There are just so many nice ideas...thanks so much for participating!!! It was fun having you!

hugs
