Let's experiment! Creating layers in my creations is something I am always trying to improve upon. In this video I test 4 mediums while doing some mark-making in my small sketchbook.

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. Watch as I practice mark making in one of my sketchbooks. Hope this sparks some inspira...

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

I never thought of doing a study of different mediums. This would be very helpful. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you
Congratulations on your retirement! 🎉 I look forward to perusing your new website & checking out the in person workshops. Lucky me, I’m in KC! Go Chiefs❤
Yay! Thank you! Can't wait to meet you.
This was so fun to watch. I just love your free and fearless creative spirit. But after watching so many cool ideas on your channel, I don’t know where to start. Any suggestions on a good first project?
Hello! I am so thrilled you ready to get creative. With so many wonderful artists and projects out there, it can be overwhelming. I recently created some mini journals and they were not only fun but super easy. here's the link to the first video in the series: ua-cam.com/video/IN_uclnQbk8/v-deo.html In early September, I will be launching my website and there will be an amazing course (for free) that shows how to turn trash into a beautiful journal. I'll announce when it is available on YT in the coming days. I hope I've given you some guidance you can use. Thank you so much! xoxo~ gina
thanks love watching feels like home
That's the best compliment. thank you
This was so inspiring, unfortunately I watched it right before bedtime! First time watching your videos, now I need to go back and watch the rest. :)
Welcome! I am so happy you have found my channel. xoxo~ gina
i adore these! Do you make tutorials for this type of journal? Your pages are pieces together in such a fun way!
Hi! Thank you. I haven't made any journals like that in a while. If I do, I will let you know. Coming up with new and unusual journals is so much fun.
I love the booklets! I am retiring in 2 months and cannot wait to start doing art projects whenever they inspire me! I will be saving this and coming back to it. I’m so glad you are posting videos again as they inspire long after you post them.
Hello Debbie! Congrats on your upcoming retirement. I am so happy you are enjoying my videos. Stay tuned...I'm so close to opening my website and I have a FREE course coming up!
I love these books. They are truly adorable and definitely not a fail!
Glad you like them!
thank you so much . i absolutely love your style you are helping me more than you know
@@rrahbit this makes so happy!!! Thank you
I always use blue bic pens! Thanks for mentioning Molly Ringwald. 😊 Now I have that association with them too!
@@lottie6462 ohhhhh, the 80s. Such a good time to reflect on. 😘
Fun experiment to look at and catalog your own marks, Gina! So true, now I'm going back and looking at mine:) Love all the colors too!
@@jillybeanstudio Thanks! I’ve always loved cataloging and keep a library of things. I feel I could make a whole journal for this….hmmmm😉
A very helpful video! Thank you.
You are most welcome!
This is a great video, thanks so much for sharing. ♥♥
Thank you so much! I appreciate your support. xoxo
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😊👍👏😊
Wow! What an inspiring story. I love that you are deconstructing old scrapbooks - and yes, I know ;). I've thought about doing that myself. My favorite part of your story is that you said, "but I'm doing this for me because it make me happy". Yes! That's the whole point. Welcome, my friend. I'm glad you are here. xoxo~ gina
New to junk journaling… I know this video is old but I had to comment on how amazing and inspiring these journals are!👋👏🤗
Thank you so much!
What a great video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hmmm....when the video started, I was thinking I don't have signature marks- but, as you went on I realized I do! Loopy stars, the color green, roses, paint/ink splatter, daisies, vines. Interesting exercise! To me, the mark of yours that stands out, is your houses😊
Rachel, this makes me so happy to hear! Loopy stars and daisies...sounds like magic to me. I think you are spot-on about my houses. They always seem to pop-up. xoxo
Giddy is the word! 😻 Sounds like you had a wonderful Grandma, Gina 💝 Memory Blessings!
@@lottie6462 Thank you! My grandma was my world.
I really appreciate your explanation of transforming someone else's project. When I find unfinished works at thrift stores, I am thankful for the families who donate items instead of throwing them away.
Yes! I feel a sense of 'honor' that I get to give someone's hard work another life.
I just dismantled a vintage quilt to salvage the pieces! Thanks, Gina! :)!
I love the word 'salvage'. That is exactly what we are doing.
Inspirational as always Gina! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you got some ideas.
This was just the video I needed to watch! I come across so many unfinished quilt projects as I thrift and was just wondering how I could use them. Thank you for all the great ideas!
Hooray! I like how it makes me feel like a steward of sorts as I carry someone's work to another project. Have fun!
Thanks so much!! A really cute idea! I love fabric and am always looking for ways to use it!😍😍😍
Me too!😊
Happy day….Gina is back!
I’m so happy to be back with all my friends!
@@stellarjstudios I clicked on the video and thought to myself, “That sounds like Gina” so I had to investigate further. Sure enough…it was you! I love what you do ❤️. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoying this series!
Thank you, Melissa!
I love this idea. Thank you!
Glad you like it!
Fun, fun, fun!! Can’t wait to catch up with all your videos! We have recently downsized from a big house and garden into a 3 bedroom apartment and we love it. One of the bedrooms is my craft studio and I am almost ready to play. Always have loved your inspiration and I just love your handmade junk/art journals. I love glue booking especially, it’s so freeing. So glad that I found out today that you are back….. much love from someone who has been following you since you started Rebookery…… yaaay, I’m so excited. Cheers from Oz, 🤗❤️🇦🇺
Not even kidding, I was just thinking about you a couple weeks ago. I love that you are getting a studio! How fun is that? Xoxo- Gina
Thank you so much Gina! I need to try this at once.
Please do! I think you will love the results.
Yay! I finally made it. I'm a little late to the party but now I'm here I'm keen to get started. This is a fun project.
@@SamJones-qx9hz So glad you are joining us!
Fun!
@@kristinakozsmith Thank you!
Enjoyed this series of videos!! Thanks for sharing!
I’m glad you liked them. I have more coming up!
Very cute! I found a giant paper wall calendar, my hubby brought home from work, to use. I ended up gluing it, after folding, so that I could leave a pocket to collect ephemera in, for the month. So fun! TFS❤
Oh wow! That sounds amazing. I’d love to see when you get it done.
@@stellarjstudios 👍😊
I enjoy creating art. Recently, I revisited a journal entry from two years ago and noticed that my art has improved since then. I particularly enjoy using my art to tell stories, as it helps me tap into my creativity. As an older retired RN BSN, I've always had a knack for drawing and painting. Now, I use art as a way to maintain my sanity, haha!❤
Art as therapy is an exactly how I started! So happy for you…have fun.
Love your sweet books❤
You are so sweet. Thank you!
Loving this series, do you think theres a way to bind all these booklets together in the end to make one big journal
@@KellyC77 I bet there is. I’ll play around and see what I come up with.
Do you ever stop to smell the new boxes of crayons in the store? I do!! It's one of my favorite smells!!
Yes!!! Me too!
Ciao, ho pubblicato il tuo video su un mio gruppo privato di facebook dove tratto argomenti di creatività per stare bene e superare ansia e stress. Grazie per questo tuo video molto interessante. Sarà spunto per nuove idee creative.
Thanks for sharing your work! Love the layering process.
@@catherineminor5323 You are very welcome!
Nice video showing how people who do their own journaling can include cheap paint and it still looks beautiful.
@@retroqueenbeeart Thank you for the feedback!
Nice!
Love how it's coming along! 💕
Thank you! I hope you are joining in.
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. I say that we both just go for it!!! ❤😊
Oh I love your story! We are so alike. I am right there with you…let’s go for it. Hope you have a good school year. Reach for your art whenever life/work becomes heavy. Xoxo- Gina
@@stellarjstudios Thank you Gina. Currently, in the active process of converting my garage into an art studio. I'm hoping to get it done before I go back to work in the next two weeks. 🙏🏽😄
@@TheMarvelousBeautyChannel1 oh gosh! I’d love to see pictures!
@@stellarjstudios I have the short clip of some of the initial pre-transformation on my channel. It's about a minute⏳ and a half but it gives a great idea. I'm going to document the budget friendly transportation on my main channel. Then, keep my video art 🎨🖌️🖍️🪡🧵diary on another channel. Please follow along for this 🤞🏾 fingers crossed lovely transition. ❤️
Love getting into the creative flow and not overthinking:) Sweet book pages and fabric bits. Like thinking about themes and stories from what happens on the page. Found my bigger papers, and working on backgrounds, thanks Gina!
Being in the zone is the best feeling!
Love how the pages are progressing!! And especially all those fabric scraps!!
@@messymissycreates1183 scraps=happiness
❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
@@rhondajo7822 Glad you liked it!
Thanks Gina! Going to prep some papers and look forward to making some of these following your series:) Think I would like to find larger paper, maybe a grocery bag or Kraft paper...
@@jillybeanstudio excellent idea!
Thanks Gina! I love the little booklets. So fun and just enough pages to tell a little story!! Can't wait to see how things go! ♥♥♥🥰
Me too!! Thanks so much😊
Nice! Definitely going to try doing one for each month. Now, do I have any big paper🤔 See you next week!
Sounds great! Love the monthly idea.
Excited to follow along with you on this series. 💕
🔆I’m super excited about this project idea!!! Just off the top of my head I think I’m going to do a booklet for each immediate family member, including myself. Sort of like a mini scrapbook of special memories and/or events of each person. I love your idea of overall goals to work on throughout. And then if it goes well, and as I have time, I can expand to other members of my family. The ideas are already swirling around!!!👍🏼😁
Sounds great! I love it!
