I’ve wanted to try making junk journals for a couple of years now but was so overwhelmed with the videos I’d seen. Then a few weeks ago I stumbled across your channel. You are so inspiring and explain things so well. You make sure everyone knows they can use whatever they have on hand and it doesn’t have to be a huge production to make something beautiful. I’ve now watched most of your video from the beginning till now. I also purchased the few little things I needed to get started. I have dyed paper, cutouts, napkins, ribbons, lace, everything I need to really start making my first journal. Thank you so much for inspiring and encouraging me to get to this point. I can’t wait to really dig in (when I find the time LOL).

I thought another idea to use them is to tear a hole in your page a little smaller than the teabag piece, ink the edges, then glue the teabag piece into place, so you can see it from both sides of the page like a window. I hope you know what I'm getting at. xxx

I can never just watch Natasa's videos. I always have to stop to make notes, to save it on Pinterest on various boards (each for a specific reason), to order something for the demonstrated process, to text my daughter-in-law to reserve stuff for me (cereal box liners in the case of this video). The 3-tea-bags combined (with s alight overlap) to cover a larger image is brilliant. Stamping on the colorless plies of the napkin and making that into an embellishment is blazing (I just went ahead and ordered some similar stamps from AliExpress). The composition of 3 of the same pieces (hearts in this case) is dazzling. Thanks for sharing how that playing card fail led to the layered transparency success. Also I liked creativity in the video production itself, that entertaining heart-and-tea theme throughout: “Not everyone’s cup of tea” (about the vintage look made with tea bags), “I really have my heart set on a heart shape’…. “A bit of a broken hear there, we shell mend it”…

Oh, dear Natasha, I have benefited SO MUCH over the years from your uplifting outlook on creativity, with your playful focus on exploration and experimentation. I’m not sure how often I’ve told you-certainly not often enough!! Your focus on the importance of approaching creating as an experimental process rather than as a means to some predetermined end-point has transformed how I think about my ability to be a creative person. Of course, approaching an endeavor with curiosity and a sense of exploration is a helpful mindset for every aspect in life, not just our creative outlets, but this wisdom is so easy to forget under stress and during depression and anxiety. That’s when I start to think in black and white, like “if I don’t know what to do or don’t have much energy, I guess I can’t create anything,” which is SO self-limiting! Those are the most important times for me to do something creative, and just finding something to be curious about and then trying something to see what happens-that IS creativity!!! Sometimes I need to watch one of your videos to help me remember this. I also love how you share with us your thought processes and the things you get curious about and how you “accidentally” discovered new techniques, which invites us to pay close attention to, and even seek out, our curiosity as well. It means so much to me that I have some tears in my eyes as I’m writing this. I think you must be helping a lot of people change their lives in ways you may not even be aware, and I’m truly grateful for the generosity of your spirit, along with your impressive skills and talent ❤. Thank you so much for everything you do. I love your creations and ideas; I love listening to you speak; and your videos are such a comfort to me, like a warm cup of tea for the soul! ❤

Actually creating a junk journal is very intimidating to me. My creative side is a little interested but my impatient side is just that....impatient! BUT....I love how these pieces turned out. Absolutely beautiful. They're so surreal....and I suppose that depending upon the image used, could also be ethereal. What I see these being used for....in my particular case at least...is placing them on a piece of vintage looking paper or a book page, and framing them. Small little frames to use here or there, especially in an older or vintage type of frame. Or in card making for something very unique! Now THAT is how I will eventually try this technique of your!

Natasha, This is such a really cool technique! I love transparent works of art and our place always has T bags galore! Have to disagree with you on one thing though. In my humble opinion there is no such thing as a "bad" T bag. They all serve some purpose, but I saw where you were going with this. I loved the crinkle sound as well as how see thru they all were. LOVED that stamped piece on the white napkin lining! Natasha, you are a really marvelous teacher/instructor. I could listen to you chat all day. Thanks for this fun idea.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make tutorials for us. You do a great job and I thoroughly enjoy hearing you talk...the accent is so so sweet!!🥰 And yes...I'm STILL sitting here with my SEVEN TEMU hauls of crafting pretties and such.. and although I;m still glued to your channel...I DID manage to get a couple of tags made today. That glue baking paper you're using looks incredible!! And that Eiffel Tower Journal, although unfinished in this video, is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! I just ADORE it! LOVE LOVE LOVE that ciover, Thanks again for taking the time to inspire us!! Cuz you DO! ❤❤❤❤❤

Enjoyed your process and comments to inspire! I use parchment paper that you buy in the grocery store if I don't have a cereal bag handy. Like all of your ideas. Thank you.
