Hi everyone, it's Karen from the Geordie Grandma. Welcome back to my channel. Today is a collaboration
0:10
with Jane from Just Janie. Now I was watching Janie's channel a while ago, or maybe it was
0:17
her Instagram feed, and she'd been doing some junk journaling, which I thought looked really
0:22
interesting. I've never tried anything like that before, so I did a bit of research on
0:27
it, you know, like you do. And I didn't know whether junk journaling was for me, but what
0:32
I did come across when I was researching it was scrapbooking. Now obviously I've heard
0:37
of scrapbooking before, but I haven't seen it in such a detailed way. And some of the
0:42
channels I was looking at, you know, they really went to town on it. So I thought I
0:48
would give scrapbooking a try, and I've been really enjoying it. It's a, you know, it's
0:52
a new hobby for me. It's kind of a creative outlet, something that's, you know, fun to
0:58
do for an hour or two on a night. And you don't really need a lot of money to do it
1:04
You don't need a lot of equipment. I just bought a scrapbook and some little bits and
1:10
pieces which I'll show you as I'm doing it. So this is a collaboration with Jane from
1:15
Just Jamie. We're both going to do our own scrapbooking page, and it's going to be autumn
1:22
themed as it is September as I'm filming this. I don't know what Jane's going to do. She
1:29
doesn't know what I'm going to do. So that'll be a surprise. And I'm sure we'll both do
1:33
it in different ways. So I'm going to turn the camera around and I'm going to show you
1:38
things I'm going to use and how I'm going to lay it out. Now I wasn't sure how to film
1:44
this over my shoulder. So I've got the camera to the side of it. So hopefully you can see
1:50
exactly what I'm doing. So this is my scrapbook. It's just a plain brown paper scrapbook that
2:02
I think I got from the works for, I think it was £5.99 I got this for. So I've also
2:10
bought some papers to use to actually use as the background rather than just the brown
2:17
page. So I bought two or three of these. Again, this was £4 from the works. This is a nature
2:24
one. So it's got lots of different prints in there on backgrounds you could use, you
2:31
know, to put your photographs on. That is a nature one. I think I've got a summer one
2:37
and a vintage floral one as well. But they are, you know, I thought they were really
2:42
reasonable at £4 and very handy. I also bought one of these to cut the paper with. It's a
2:51
guillotine. And I did get this from Hobbycraft. And I think this was about £20. I can't remember
2:57
exactly. But you just you put your paper in there. You can see the line, you can line it up with
3:03
that. That's where it's going to cut. You put that down and then you move this up to the top
3:11
to actually cut the paper. So I found that really useful as well to get me edges straight
3:16
because I'm not so not so good with the scissors cutting straight. So I chose a photograph for the
3:23
autumn theme. This is the photo that I'm going to use. This is my granddaughter Harriet
3:28
She's four now. I think she was probably about two there at the time. And she's jumping on all
3:34
of the autumn leaves on her trampoline. So I thought that would make a nice photograph for
3:40
the scrap page, the scrapbook page. I chose this background from the nature book that I'm going to
3:48
use as the background for the photograph. So I'm just going to stick it down on there. I'm going
3:55
to lay everything out and then I'm going to go back and stick it down. But I'm going to stick this
3:59
down straight away because I know I'm going to use it. So I've chosen a green page with a leaf
4:07
pattern on. It also has a pattern on the other side which I didn't want to use. Now what I'm
4:13
going to use to stick this down with is a little tape dispenser. I got a pack of these from Amazon
4:20
I think they were about £3.99, something like that. And they are quite handy. So you just run
4:26
it down the page and it just cuts itself off when you take the tape roller off the page. So I'm just
4:35
going to put that in the middle as well just to make sure. And I'm just going to turn that over
4:42
and I'm going to stick it down on the page. Now I haven't done much scrapbooking yet like I said
4:48
I'm just kind of finding my way with it. So if you have any hints and tips, if you do
4:55
scrapbooking and you have any hints and tips, please leave them in the comments below. Now
5:00
I've seen a lot of scrapbookers on YouTube and they use papers as like a background for the
5:07
photograph. So I quite like this paper. This is like a purple leaf paper that I thought I would
5:13
use. So I'm going to use that and I'm going to stick this green piece of card to it. So I'm
5:20
making a kind of a frame and then I'm going to stick the photograph on top of the green bit
5:28
So you can see there you've got like the little frame around the photograph. So I'm going to go
5:34
ahead and stick those down because I'm definitely going to use them. Again, this is a double-sided
5:40
paper. You could use either side, but I quite like the purple leaf. I think purple's
5:47
it feels like an autumn colour. So we'll go with that. I'm going to stick that down
5:57
I'm going to stick it round about here I think. And then I'm going to stick the green card on top
6:06
I did buy some clear PVA glue to use that I thought might be handy, but I thought I'd get
6:16
it everywhere on camera. So I'm using the tape gun there. Stick that green one on the top
6:26
And now I'm going to stick the photograph on top of the green. I have actually got my
6:32
grandchildren doing scrapbooking as well. I thought when I was buying the scrapbook for myself
6:38
I thought Harriet loves crafty stuff. And Ashton, my grandson, who is six, I don't think he's as
6:46
much into the crafting, but I knew that if I got Harriet the scrapbook, she would love it
6:52
I got him a scrapbook as well. And at the end of the video, I'll show you a couple of pages that
6:56
they've done. They're probably better than I am. So that's those stuck down. Now, what I've been
7:03
watching on YouTube is then people kind of embellish the page to make the photograph stand
7:09
out and the embellishments relate to what the picture's about. And I did, when I was buying
7:15
them, they did say to kind of use the embellishments in like a triangle position. So, you know, one
7:22
here, one here, and one here. So you've got that triangle and then it draws the eye down across
7:29
the picture to your embellishments and you leave a bit of space blank up here. So that's what I'm
7:34
going to do. So I've picked a few things out on the internet. I've got a few things that I've
7:41
So that's what I'm going to do. So I've picked a few things out already that I want to use
7:48
I chose a little door. This is from a pack that I got from Teemu. I got a little pack of doors
7:59
I'll leave the link to the Teemu haul of the craft things below in case you want to go and have a look
8:04
So I got these from there, but I just like this little fairy door. I just thought that was really
8:09
cute. It's got some little sunflowers around it. It just looked like autumn to me. So I'm going to
8:14
use that. This is a sticker that I got. I think I got these from Amazon. There was lots of vintage
8:20
kind of stickers and I just thought that little rabbit would look nice on the page. These card
8:29
shaped, card cut out pieces of paper, they're all leaves and autumn pumpkins. They were an autumn
8:38
pack that I got from the range. Came in a little pack like that. Sorry, I can't see what I'm looking
8:46
at here to keep looking underneath to see what the camera's seeing. It was just a little pack of autumn
8:51
cut out shapes, cardboard shapes that I got from the range. I'm actually, I was really surprised
8:57
the range of craft supplies that the range has got in. I was very surprised. They've actually
9:03
got more, they seem to have a more variety than Hobby Craft and they were very reasonable as well
9:10
So I was quite impressed with that. So I'll be definitely going back to the range to pick some
9:15
more stuff up. I also got these little, I've got a couple of fairies. Again, these were in this pack
9:24
that I got from Teemu. It's got like little see-through jars with little flowers and little
9:29
fairies in. So I thought I would use a couple of the fairies just to embellish it a bit. And I also
9:36
got these, I'm not sure how well you can see those, they're like a gold and clear autumn leaf
9:44
mushroom, pumpkin-y kind of sticker. Also got those from the range. They were £1.50, which I thought
9:50
were quite cute. Now I'm not sure if I'm going to use these again from the range, some autumn stickers
9:56
And these are like a puffy sticker, so they feel a bit 3D. Because I did hear that it was good to
10:04
use a range of different medias on the page to just give it a little bit of
10:10
texture and some interest. And I'm not sure if I'm going to use these sticky letters
10:19
on the page either. These came from a subscription pack that I bought of embellishments
10:24
It's called Sunshine on My Mind. And these were from Quirky Crafts, I think. I'll leave the link
10:31
below. So I might use those letters. And I've got some little sticky squares, just they're kind of
10:38
raised. So if you want to raise your elements off the page, these little stickers
10:45
will help do that. So now we just need to position the embellishments. So I thought I'd put this
10:53
little, I'm going to definitely with these embellishments, I'm going to place them and then
10:57
I'm going to stick them down because I may move them. So I'm going to put this little door
11:03
at the bottom. And I'm going to put some pumpkins around it, I think. I quite like this little pumpkin
11:11
You know, autumn, it says pumpkin, doesn't it? So we'll put a pumpkin there. I quite like these
11:19
little toadstools that came in that little autumn pack from the range. Let's see, will we put that
11:25
behind? You can always put things behind things as well. Just put that over the top of the photograph
11:35
Little toadstools. I'll put a leaf in there, put a little red leaf
11:42
And put that on top or underneath. Now, so because I want the triangle, I want things in three corners
11:49
Don't ask me why. It's just that's what they said to do. Or that is what the crafters that I was watching on YouTube said. So we put a little bunny rabbit there
11:59
I think we put some, we put some more toadstools. So we'll put the little bunny kind of hiding behind
12:07
the toadstools, I think. I like this little green pumpkin. I think I might put that next to the other one
12:14
So they're in front of the door. So they're kind of on the fairy door porch
12:21
Put a pumpkin over here to follow the theme. So the little rabbit's hiding behind the toadstools and the pumpkin. I quite like that
12:33
Now, I need to put something up here. I like this pinecone. Little card pinecones
12:39
I think I'm going to put that down here as well. Put it there
12:46
Again, you know, if you place them all first before you stick them down
12:50
then you can always move things around, can't you? I just really like the colours
12:54
I just think they're really, you know, they go well with the theme
12:59
I just think these little embellishments just go, they're cute. So they go with the fact that Harriet's looking very cute in that picture
13:12
So on the top, I've got this little welcome autumn card sticker. So I think I'm going to put that
13:21
up there. So you see, you're getting the triangle shape. Oh, that's the theory anyway. I've got another little toadstool here. I don't want to use that
13:33
I'll just put it on the edge of the door there. Maybe behind the pumpkin
13:40
I don't want to block the door completely. So I might not use that. I'm going to put some
13:45
leaves up on this top corner just to do a bit of embellishment up here. I like that red leaf
13:55
And I don't necessarily want to put them over the top of the sign because I want to be able
14:01
to see the hello autumn. So I'll put that one there, maybe. There's a darker one here
14:12
Put that at the top. You can see what I'm trying to do, the little clusters in each corner just to
14:19
to kind of make the picture look a bit more. I mean, it is interesting just on its own
14:25
let's face it. But it just looks a little, I think it looks nicer with a little embellishment. So I
14:32
just think it brings it to life a little bit. So I've got another leaf here. So I think I'm going
14:37
to use that. I think I want to use that down the bottom and I'm going to put it kind of there
14:44
maybe. Shall I put it more up here? Maybe that looks better because I don't want to block that
14:50
door. Now these little fairies, they've got like a clear background and then there's the fairy on it
14:59
Now I can't for the life of us peel that off. So I don't know whether you're supposed to just put
15:05
the glue on the back and stick that down. But that's what I'm going to do. It feels shiny
15:11
There's no way I can peel that off that. So I don't know whether you're supposed to, but I can't
15:17
do it. So I think I'm going to stand that one up here at the top. So like she's, you know, looking
15:25
looking down at Harriet on the trampoline. And I've got some other fairies here. It's very dark
15:33
in here today. Some of the fairies is like a small fairy and a larger fairy and they've got some
15:40
flowers. And where shall I put that? Well, I'll put that down beside the house because that is
15:45
like, that feels to me like a fairy door. So it would make sense that you've got little fairies
15:50
in there. And Harriet, as she's looking down, she looks like she's looking at the fairy door
15:56
and the fairies. So I could go on and put more embellishments on there. I'm going to put this
16:02
little one in here, put it at the bottom like it's a fell. Yeah, there maybe. Yeah
16:15
I think that's looking quite cute. I was going to use one of these stickers, but I'm not sure
16:21
I don't know if it's kind of the vibe that I've got going. I was thinking about
16:27
maybe using the little hedgehog somewhere. But I'm not sure. I don't think I'll use the hedgehog. I think I might use a couple of these
16:35
little acorns. These are puffy stickers, like I said, and I think I might just use them to look
16:42
like they're fallen from the sign. Kind of like that. That is stuck down, so it's going to have
16:50
to stay there now. And I may put another one. I may put another one down here
17:00
So it's following the pattern with the acorns, and I want to put another one down there
17:06
just so it ties the three embellishments in. And I think I'm just going to put it there
17:15
I mean, like I say, I am quite new to this. So if you're looking at this and thinking
17:19
what is she doing? Then you're quite welcome to think that, because at the moment
17:24
I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm just trying things out and see what I like
17:28
And to be quite honest, I think I like that. I think that looks really nice. So I'm not going
17:33
to use any of the animals off there, because I think they don't mix with that rabbit. I think
17:38
they look a little bit cartoony. So I'm not going to use that on this picture. I do quite like these
17:44
gold, these gold clear stickers. So let's have a look. We've got two sheets in here, which I didn't
17:54
realize. So I think I'm going to try a couple of these on the page just to give it a little bit of
18:02
shine. Now, what will I use? I think I might use this leaf. I'll use a leaf on there
18:15
These are from the range, much easier to to peel off. I'm going to put one there
18:25
Just gives it a little bit of shine. I'm not sure you can see it, but it just gives the page a little bit of shine. I'll put another one maybe over here
18:38
I'm not sure that they need them, but I just thought I might as well try them, see what I think
18:44
Up here, there, down here, there. Just a couple of little leaves. I could do with another one
18:56
up there just to make it look a little bit uniform. I think I'll put one of these thin
19:02
leaves on. Sorry if I keep going off camera. It's hard to see when your camera's upside down
19:09
Let's put it here on a play. Yeah, so that is how my autumn scrapbook page
19:24
is going to look. Now I'm just going to stick them down. So you probably don't want to watch
19:30
me stick them down. So I'll do that off camera and I'll come back to you. So I've stuck everything
19:37
down. So I'm just going to turn my page around so you can see what it looks like. I think that
19:43
looks quite cute. I'm quite pleased with that. I think what I could have done was have another
19:49
paper behind this one. It's like a frame. So you had the brown, maybe a bit of this purple coming
19:56
in here and then the green in the middle, just to give it a little bit of definition around the side
20:02
a little bit of a frame. But I think that is quite cute. I've made this little pumpkin stand
20:09
out a little bit with those square stickies. But yeah, I think that looks quite cute for
20:18
maybe my third try of doing a scrapbook page. I was just going to show you
20:25
what Ashton and Harriet have done. So this is Ashton's scrapbook. They've got a smaller
20:30
scrapbook and they chose the photographs. I didn't really tell them what to do. I just said
20:37
put a photograph in and put some stickers and things around it. So this is what they've done
20:42
These are the pictures they chose. Ashton chose this one where he's probably only about 18 months
20:49
looking at the Christmas tree and he stuck some little stickers around it. I stuck the little
20:55
banner on Ashton at Christmas. So he did that one and then he did these. So again, he chose the
21:04
pictures. That's him eating an ice cream. We have lots of pictures of Ashton eating an ice cream
21:09
Again, he's probably about, maybe he's two on there. He actually wrote his name with the stickers
21:13
on here because he's nearly seven now. So he's writing and reading and everything
21:20
And he chose these little stickers to stick around the picture. And this last one is Ashton at the
21:27
farm. And again, he's just stuck stickers around it. But it keeps them entertained for a while
21:34
and they do enjoy it. Harriet more so than Ashton. So this is Harriet's scrapbook. She's put
21:41
something on the front page. She chose a one of her on the farm as well. And she wanted me to write
21:47
Harriet the farmer on the bottom. She chose a picture of her eating an ice lolly with a blue
21:55
tongue. And she again, decorated this herself without me telling her what to do. And I just
22:00
thought that was quite well decorated. She's got some little bees here, some little
22:06
unicorns, some crowns. And this one, she also chose the picture. I love this picture. Ashton and Harriet
22:13
when you know, probably three years ago, sitting on the doorstep looking into the garden and
22:20
they've embellished it with the stickers around there. I mean, that's so cute. And this
22:28
you can keep them busy for at least an hour doing that. So if you're looking for something to
22:32
entertain your grandchildren, or your young children, then scrapbooking is a really good idea
22:38
So that was my scrapbooking video. Don't forget to go over and watch Jane from Just Janie to see
22:44
what she's done. I'm quite excited to see what she has done because I think she's better than me
22:50
Like I say, this is just quite a new hobby. I hope I've inspired you to maybe start your own
22:56
scrapbooking hobby. If you already do scrapbooking, let us know in the comments below. And again
23:00
like I said, if you've got any tips, I'll be happy to hear from you. That's all I've got for today
23:07
I'll see you again on Thursday. It was going to be in Ikea
23:15
things I'd seen around Ikea, but I'm not sure if that's gone up. It may be something else
23:20
I'm not sure. And then I'm back on Sunday with the Transatlantic Housewives collaboration
23:25
and that is an autumn walk. So very autumn themed month this month. But thanks so much for Janie
23:32
for asking me to do this collaboration with her. I love Janie's channel. She doesn't just do
23:40
crafting. She does meals of the week, which I find really fascinating. Look at what other people are
23:44
having for their tea. She does try ons. She does bargain shopping hauls. So I highly recommend you
23:52
go across and have a look at her channel. I'll leave the link in the description box below
23:56
That's all I've got for you today. Thanks so much for watching. Bye for now
