Welcome to a happy place for junk journal addicts. If you have a passion for junk journals, art journals and beginner watercolour painting and you want easy, step by step help then this channel is for you!
You'll find simple and relaxing videos on making and decorating:
1. Junk Journals;

I adore using paper, watercolour paints, scrapbook paper or old book pages to make and decorate journals. I make easy paper pockets and envelopes using upcycled papers and old book pages.I especially love painting in my journals, and making junk journals, vintage journals, art journals and Christmas junk journals. Any journals with a theme or a beautiful colour palette.
I upload once a week, normally at a weekend. I'm learning as I go, but I already know that this YouTube journey and our crafty network and family is totally amazing. Let's have some fun together!

I've decided to use the phrase "handmade" journal if I actually put it together myself. Doesn't matter if I use "junk" or other types of supplies.

You are an inspiration to me. I have always been a paper / junk / tag / envelope collector but I never knew I could actually put those items somewhere. I have also loved to doodle, have always loved paint, but always felt so much anxiety because I can't draw a straight line, and I got bad marks in school in Art. But you have allowed me to develop and encouraged me to paint, and draw, and glue... thank you so much and a lot of love from Missouri.

I like your idea that it’s your book and it doesn’t need a name or a category. You can do what you like and what makes you happy.

I think not seeking perfection is one of the most important things. This is what has been stopping me from getting started. I think that my work won't be good enough. I have realised in the past few weeks, I have been thinking that I need to just get started and lower my expectations. I have loved watching this tutorial. It's been a great help.

I am Loving it, feel such joy from doing it and am so proud of the end results. Your tutorial has given me such a boost, made a difficult time enjoyable. Thank you so much xx

Oh thank you so much Joie! - I too have been scratching my head and say how the heck do I start. I love your presentation style. Just explanation, no histrionics or false over-exuberance. You have given me so much to think about and try. And your explanation about using found objects is spot on for me. I was having big trouble justifying buying special papers and toppers just to make up a journal. Your style goes back to the sort of things my gran used to make in the 1950s. Apart from glue (which she stole from my Grandad's workshop) she never bought anything - she called it a scrapbook and that's exactly what she made, books out of scraps she had lying around or could cadge off her friends. I think the beauty is by doing it your way. The book / journal means much more - its more about things that mean something to you and show what makes you tick. Again, thank you so much - I've got a lot of thinking to do.

Just got new smart tv, so I got to watch Joie as big as I am! It was like taking a private class. Well done, Joie! Thank you for a lovely jj session.
