These are gorgeous! So NOT a fail! Your blanks are stunning 🤩. Finish it! You can do it and it will give you such a sense of accomplishment. I am new to JJ…scrapbooked for 10 yrs, started a JJ and only did a few pages 15 years ago. It’s a paper sack (lunch size) and am now getting back to it. I forgot how much I used to know and how I’m “stuttering “ now and am practicing with this journal. I have a TON of stuff (shopping too much Michael’s, HL, TEMU and Etsy 🤣) This video has inspired me to keep on practicing. I love geography and history…so much you can do…capturing a historical event or time period in a layout. You can capture a certain scientific event, person or theory. I have a goal to do one called “Pieces of Me” with snapshots of my life. I have no kids to pass it down so it will be for no one but me. I am deconstructing my CM scrapbooks (if you know, you know 😂) But I’m doing this for me because it makes me happy. I am retired now and have no excuse not to finish it. Do it! I will be right here getting inspiration from you😊👍👏😊

Hi! So great to see you here again! If it makes you feel any better, it took my 3 years to complete a 100 day project 😂

@@dcslye8330 A 3 year, 100 day project! That sounds like something I can get onboard with 😊

These are gorgeous, amazing, inspiring! And E=mc2 made me remember this: You matter! Unless you multiply yourself by the speed of light squared... Because then you energy.

Oooohhh! I’ve heard that before and I love it!🤣🤣🤣

Love the container and small notebooks you made! I have not done any paper crafting for months as I opened a small booth in an antique store where I sell some vintage and antique pieces, but the majority of my stock is handmade pillows, table runners, and bags created from rescued quilts. In addition to that, I am now volunteering at a sweet quilt shop near me. I really need to make some small books like yours that will help me focus on tasks but also push me to make creative time for myself, not just for my small businesses...As always, you are an inspiration!

Wow! First of all…I think your booth sounds like a dream come true! Second, a quilt shop has got to be THE best place to volunteer. And lastly, I would LOVE for you to join me in making some fun little booklets.

These are gorgeous - especially 5, 8 and 11! And I love the idea of the collaged storage box! TFS 💕

Thank you. Glad you like them! I hope you join me in making some.

You set some lofty goals! I love the field guides! Book 5 is beautiful! I love them all. You didn’t fail. I heard the excitement in your voice as you went through each booklet. The booklets were the project! I love that on some level you celebrated your success! Sometimes the lesson isn’t what we think it will be.

You are totally right! Thank you so much.

I really love the cover of #5. These would be awesome as monthly notebooks. I would probably put a pocket in each one, to hold anything I wanted to journal, later. Journal Collection Kits😊

Love this epic fail! Lol. I have tried to do the 100-day project SEVERAL times and I, too, only made it a few days. Not enough hours in the day sometimes. Lol. LOVED these little journals- will definitely follow along and would like to make a dozen, I’ve already picked a theme 😊 I’ve followed you for years, you have inspired me so much in my own creative journey!! Thank you Gina- looking forward to seeing what’s next!

Hooray! So glad you are going to create along side me. I’m excited that you’ve already got a theme. ❤

Love these little science journals, and how you're updating your 100 day project, Gina! Interested in trying some, look forward to your video. Possibly observing what's in my own backyard... they look very fun to make:) Congrats on your retirement! I'm currently teaching, but not too far away from mine. TFS:)

I have made field guide journals, but these are ADORABLE! I would just stick these out in my little free library and let people take one! Would LOVE to see your "how to" video!!! I would do a nature theme, a children's book pages theme, and an explorer theme. Is that watercolor paper?

Love these! I think we can all relate to starting a project with good intentions but not finishing! Love the idea of starting with base pages that are not blank! Would love to see how you made these! I'm in the process of making a mixed media junk journal. Hopefully I finish it and not add it to my to be completed pile! 😂
