 Hey guys so if you're watching this you've already seen My glue grab and glue videos. There are two parts all working in this journal you've either seen one or both and This is a really fun way to do journaling again. It was inspired by Shannon green and Cindy udder I'm gonna link their channels in the description below and I really am loving this right now Yes, I love to paint. I still paint but this is a fun way to just do something fun and artistic and interesting quickly easily and Use up the stash you have rather and you know in a fun way that you can preserve rather than tossing stuff out Because you have too much stuff in your art room. I Really love this. I did want to go over a few things with you in case you're interested in doing this So really what you need as far as stuff to do this with is a journal This is a homemade one again. It came in happy mail. It was in a swap I think in crazy island family or something and I've got a little bin of these that you guys send me every once in a while They're really fun I also make them sometimes and they're a lot of fun again to make and throw together to maybe send to Somebody that you don't know on the rack or happy mail list in one of my two Facebook groups the links for those are in the description below and Maybe maybe trade with them They Can be made out of any kind of paper. This one has all kinds of different painting papers in it And then I just glued in what I have I didn't think about what about it too much. I just picked Oh, that one's not stuck down there. Well, I just picked things out of my stash and Without thinking about it too awfully much picked things that I thought maybe went together Let's get this fixed Maybe it went together to create an interesting composition and of course I have a lot of words. Well, I've always I like words you all know that by now and Put a little word or quote on each page You could of course take it a little further and do doodling or painting on it if you chose, but you don't have to Some things that work well for doing this is you want glues that are going to dry fairly quickly and That aren't going to stay sticky And you want honestly glues that are inexpensive. So a glue stick. This is a you who glue stick, but you could use Elmer's or whatever one that you have I would recommend one that's permanent not temporary And you do have to make sure with the glue stick that you really you know stick things down well But you can see on this page. There's nothing that's sticking up if you do it, right? I missed that little tip of that little die cut, but if you do it, right? It's going to be there. It's going to be fine You also can use Elmer's extreme. I talked about this in the video. This is Elmer's extreme school glue It's really strong. It dries quickly. This is washable, but it works really well It's made for paper. So it works well A tape runner permanent tape runner or my new favorite thing the glue dot adhesive runner and it leaves Little glue squares and so this is whoops these are really cool these and the glue stick are they're instantaneous You don't have to wait for anything to dry. So you can sit down in your art room For an hour if you have a small little journal like this one and get it done I know you guys saw a speed-up video and it's like 50. I Compressed it a little bit and I think after I compressed it. It was about 40 45 minutes It took me about an hour and a half to do this one front to back You'll need some scissors. I like to have a little Gift card or old hotel card to scrape things down into the glue and make sure they're really stuck down Well, if you're using a glue stick, I like to use my baby wipes to make sure there's no excess glue either on the pager on your fingers and An exacto knife can come in handy, but the scissors will work if that's what you have and A stapler. This is a Tim Holtz tiny attacher, but sometimes I want to just like up here in the front. I did it. Let's see I Just staple a little piece of a tag onto the end of a page that works great The other thing that I do Yes, I have all my things in my art room organized in separate bins I have one for just stamped people I have another one for just doilies, but when I want to just do a glue book I have a bin full of Stuff and I refill it from those other separate little bins. So this is the bin It is the big bin is from Target, so we're the little dividers there from the Bathroom organizing department and plastics department and I have I like that I like this setup because there's a little bit of space here to put taller papers in The this set here came with these three longer containers and three little ones and Then two big ones and then I bought the big bins separately I have people. I have die cuts and focal points little bitty scraps and odd items non paper items brads buttons fabric flowers teeny tiny die cuts Words, you know, I got a bin of just words, right? You knew that And then we have Next up some things there we go. Okay, so then we have in these two bigger boxes These are background papers, painting papers Pieces of scrapbooking paper. These are focal point images that I could use like like faces and people This one is really oops really great. This is from the Faber-Castell booth at Creativation and that could definitely just be a focal point and quote on it is great I have one from Dina Wakeley This is one of her one of her postcards And then I've got a little bag of tags a little bag of envelopes and pockets and some larger papers and Stickers so this setup works really well for me and when I want to do a glue book I can take my little bins out I can set them around my desk. I Can grab and go create my book then everything can go back in the bin and up on the shelf out of the way quickly and easily And when my say little bin of people runs low, I can refill it from my drawer of people I also have lots of these sort of things Then I bought years ago. I bought the image sheets on you know eBay or something and I could print them some more out and cut them out I also have magazines to go through a lot of them So anyway, I just wanted to come on here really quick and give you an idea of how you could organize your stuff So that you can create something like the glue book the grab-and-go glue book easily quickly Using what you have don't go out and buy anything special. Maybe you have a Bunch of small cardboard boxes that you could do this with inside of a bin Look around your house and your spare stuff if you're like me you have a spare thing of organizing supplies Yes, I know it's not normal But anyway, maybe you have something you could do something like this So you can have this bin on the shelf and when you want to do a grab-and-go glue book you can just pull it down You can grab a journal and you can have at it And then when you're done it easily gets cleaned up and be and put away and your desk doesn't become a nightmare That's it for right now Yeah, because my desk has been a nightmare a lot lately That's it for right now a like share and subscribe if you would please and if you can support my channel By going over and shopping in my Etsy shop the link is in the description below along with like I said the two Facebook groups And the most important thing go out and have a great day Do something nice for yourself because you deserve it There'll be more glue book videos coming and we probably will do some live on YouTube live coming up soon If you would like so let me know all right. That's it everybody talk to you later. Bye
