XO, amandaJOURNAL WITH ME | My Collage Process + How I Layeramanda leigh2022-01-26 | Thank you so much for watching! I would love feedback on this video and if you'd like to see more like this! Collage journaling is one of my favorite relaxing hobbies. Some people write in their spreads but I prefer to just layer papers and ephemera! I have other journals dedicated to writing.
Remember, if you're just starting out, there is no right or wrong way to journal! You also don't need "all the things". I have accumulated stationery over many years, but when I first started collage art journaling I just used things I had around my house!
Please leave any questions in the comment section below!

I would like to note that some of these shops are based overseas, like in Malaysia or Indonesia. I personally am in the USA. I have ordered from all of these shops before, and the shipping can be pricey! However, they usually ship via DHL Express or FedEx Express, so it comes in 2-3 days! Other overseas shops will have half the cost of shipping, but use regular mail services and it'll come within 2 weeks. It just depends on the shop, but important to note! I try to recommend USA shops such as Pinky Elephant Craft or Paper Game Co. as much as I can, for those who are also in the USA. I've noticed other countries have much better journaling stationery hehe! :) Please check my 'Journaling' highlight on IG for a complete list of shops I buy from, in all countries!
Also, some of these products are sold at various shops - so if a link I've provided is sold out by the time you see it, try googling the product name! That'll usually yield a list of shops that carry it.
If you read this far... I thought about including some lifestyle favorites, because I have a current favorite lip product, eyeshadow palette, bag to carry, even spiritual tools I use! Let me know if you'd ever like to see that at the end of one of my stationery favorites. This channel will always primarily be about the stationery, don't you worry! Love you!!!

I also did NO back pocket which was a first for me, because of how stiff Velvet Sand is! I did not lengthen or shorten my clasp and I do not add stiffener to any of my customs.
