I am a big fan of the author's Youtube tutorials, but having this book to hand to reference really helps. The projects are inspiring, and the author's gentle, eco-friendly writing about turning unwanted things into beauty is even more so. Definitely the best book on junk journalling or srcapbooking I have ever read.

Natasa is such a giving and generous woman and her book is the perfect paper crafter's companion. Her You Tube channel is amazing and has helped so many to learn how to make her beautiful creations - and to use what you have on hand so beginners learn to 'create' instead of just buying bits and plonking them into a journal. Everything in this book is geared to help one gain the satisfaction of making lovely things for themself, friends and family. Highly recommended.

I've recently bought a few Junk Journaling and Book Binding books and most were dry and boring or more complicated than I needed. THIS is the perfect book. It's loaded with ideas, resources, color photos, and inspiration. It's much larger than expedted at 271 pages and just full of everything the Junk Journaler needs. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. I can't wait to jump into a few of the projects.

Dieses Buch ist eine Bereicherung auf dem Buchmarkt. Die Autorin bringt dem Leser ihre Expertise in der Herstellung von Junk Journals nahe und zeigt dabei, wie auch in ihren zahlreichen informativen YouTube-Videos, hervorragende Lehreigenschaften. Ein Buch für Anfänger, aber auch ein Buch für schon versiertere Junk Journal-Gestalter. Ich kann es unbedingt empfehlen, wenn man an der Herstellung von Junk Journals Freude hat und danke der Autorin für das gekonnte (Mit)füllen der Marktlücke in diesem Bereich.

I have just started junk journalling. I happened across her YouTube videos which are very informative and give lots of ideas and how-to’s. She mentioned her book and I ordered. Great book. Glad I got it.
