When you look at other's art do you notice their signature marks? What patterns do you see emerging throughout different pieces of their work? Developing your signature marks takes time but it's not as hard as you think. You just need to let your hands tell you want they want to create across the blank page.

Do you ever find abandoned crafting or sewing projects at thrift stores? Whenever I do, I feel a sense of sadness because I hate that someone's hardwork has been castoff. But, I also get excited because I know I can breathe new life into it. Using other people's art and craft projects in my own work allows me to continue telling their story. Saving their hardwork from the bottom of a bin makes ...

Welcome! One of my go-to favorites when creating in my journals is to add little stitching "cheats". These are small scraps of fabrics that have been prestitched. I keep a jar full of them on my desk and glue them into my art whenever I need that added touch of fabric and thread. Hope this sparks some inspiration! thanks for watching xoxo- gina Formerly TheReBookery

    These are gorgeous! So NOT a fail! Your blanks are stunning 🤩. Finish it! You can do it and it will give you such a sense of accomplishment. I am new to JJ…scrapbooked for 10 yrs, started a JJ and only did a few pages 15 years ago. It’s a paper sack (lunch size) and am now getting back to it. I forgot how much I used to know and how I’m “stuttering “ now and am practicing with this journal. I have a TON of stuff (shopping too much Michael’s, HL, TEMU and Etsy 🤣) This video has inspired me to keep on practicing. I love geography and history…so much you can do…capturing a historical event or time period in a layout. You can capture a certain scientific event, person or theory. I have a goal to do one called “Pieces of Me” with snapshots of my life. I have no kids to pass it down so it will be for no one but me. I am deconstructing my CM scrapbooks (if you know, you know 😂) But I’m doing this for me because it makes me happy. I am retired now and have no excuse not to finish it. Do it! I will be right here getting inspiration from you😊👍👏😊

    This video was really speaking to me. I started making junk journals last November 2023. At the time, I was feeling exactly what you expressed in the video. After almost 25 years of teaching, every day I questioned what I had done staying so long and why. At this point, I'm still not past it. I'm on summer break now just trying to enjoy every precious fleeting moment. Whenever I think about the end of summer, I just replace the dreaded thoughts with something creative, even if it's watching a video. I came by your videos through the mini field notes books episodes 1, 2 and 3. I, too, want to ✍🏽 children's books. In fact, I have a finished book without illustrations just sitting on a shelf.
