Starting a collage art journal 🌟 Sketchbook page collage with magazine cutouts
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Hi there! I'm Rosie and today we're starting a collage journal! I wanted a space where I could fill up a blank sketchbook with a bunch of collages and have a place to experiment and have fun.
Using magazine cutouts and images from thrifted books, I create weird and surreal handmade collage pieces to fill up a journal with handmade paper art.

Creating a handmade surreal art collage is easy! I share my tips and techniques on how I create my analog collages as I cut out pictures and illustrations out by hand with a small pair of scissors and a craft knife. Finding inspiration from old books is one of the most fun steps to this process. These can come from used books, encyclopedias, magazines, vintage postcards, or anything else you can find lying around your house. I find most of my books and magazines from thrift stores, antique stores, flea markets, Craigslist, or even on the side of the road! Watch as I arrange my elements and try different ideas as I talk through my process to create my final design. And, there is an added challenge of only being able to use materials that you have access to!
Want to try creating your own? Just grab a magazine, scissors, and a glue stick!

Love this! When I saw that the woman had a phone I thought “Oh! She’s calling inter-galactic takeout. Lol Your work is so fun!
Oh my gosh, I have that same sky/tree background saved for the “perfect” collage. I loved how you used it. You inspire me to have fun with collage. One of the things I do each day is make inchie quilt collages in a journal. I started the 100 day project in 2021, making one a day. I recently completed day 570 and started journal #10. Thanks for the inspiration and thought process as you create.

WOW! 570 days?? That's incredible. Keep it up!
Loved watching you choose. Very fun spread.
Beautiful collages! 🥰 I like to imagine the fennec fox is ordering a delivery of space soup from the fox on the right

Hahaa I love this! I don't know why I didn't think of that, but now they really are the perfect pair!
I make ATC's and all sizes of Journals. You inspired me to make a surreal journal and it is 8"x 8". Journals are great fun and yes it can take months or even years to finish. But the most important thing is to have fun. Thank You for sharing your art journey.

Yes! Fun is the most important part :) Love the square size for a surreal journal!
I loved those collages! Very funny and inspiring! I look forward to your collage projects each week. Thanks for sharing and making me smile!
These are so adorable. Love your little art journal.
You're so imaginative and fun to watch. You have loads of patience. i don't like fussy cutting images, my least favorite part of creating glue books and collages. Thanks for sharing.
Love, love, love these two pages. You have an amazing talent.
Galaxy Soup!? Amazing. So cool, Rosie.👏🏻😻
Wow!! You started a notebook! I'm worried that the notebook will get so full of art that it won't close, but it has a rubber band to keep it closed 📓.I'd love to see a collage of the spreads 📖😄
Omg I totally love the page's looks like lady fox is ringing to order planet soup 💜💜💜💜
Planet soup! That turned out so great!
My favorite soup is planet soup. I love both journal collages. Your work is such an inspiration!
Love the way your mind works, your ideas--😮😮
Both delightful! I keep collage journals/notebooks too - but have never had any journals/notebooks this smaller size - I might have to give that a whirl! Thanks! Kathleen
I too have been thinking about doing a book, I will follow you and see how it goes, thanks for the inspiration. Loved your first two pages can’t wait till we see the book again. Love ya see you next time😃❤️👍
Those are 2 of my favorites so far
Wow! I love love love the chef fox page. It pops out and is fabulous all around. I also am amazed how well the fox head fit the woman on the phone. You never cease to amaze me. How exciting!

Love the first 2. Looking forward to the journey in the notebook. I am also doing one but mine is not as funny as yours ; ) I did one with a castle on the moon with the earth rising behind it in the black 'sky'

Love everything you do. So glad to see you excited again to collage or fill up your book. Love both but galaxy soup is my fav
I'm a journal junkie in multiple mediums already but I love the idea of adding a collage journal into the mix. Your first spread is fantastic. Thanks for the inspiration.
LOVE IT Rosie! TYFS Cindy
Just hilarious! I LOVED both spreads. Well done!!!
Loved this page! Also may need to pinch your fussy cut storage idea - looks very effective 🙂
Fantastic Rosie! 👍! Really like your journal collage plan. Since beginning to watch you, I began to cut out options from magazines to try out using the Rosie methods, in addition to my usual journal collages. I'm hoping I will be able to cut and insert items like you do...guess it will be a progressive skill! Thanks for your imaginative talents 🤗, terrific art!
Love it Rosie! Great job. Can't wait to see the next pages in your book.
I like the way you think. Love your videos!
Wow Rosie! I've been following you since you just started your channel. I thought you were pretty cool back then but you've come so far. Your channel just repopped into my feed the other day and you'v done so much. I've been watching what you've been doing in the last couple of years and gee I love all your art and you seem so friendly and fun. I love your art, all of it! Thanks for sharing and always staying the same fun person you are.
Love your creations! I enjoy have books for smaller collages.
I love it , especially when l want to clue but have no idea where to start. My glue journal of trials and expression .
I just came upon your videos and am enjoying your content. I also love the way you think about your composition and strategise options. I noticed how you save your ephemera the same way as I do which makes me not feel alone in the collage world.
So cute, so funny! Thank you for the inspiration!
That is totally awesome. My favorite thing to do is a collage art journal. I have a couple different ones going.
Both those collage characters turned out adorable, and I can’t wait to see how this project unfolds for you! My two cents: to avoid the book getting “gator mouth”, consider carefully removing some of the pages to prevent it from bulking up too much.

oh my gosh I've been struggling to figure out how to organize all my scraps nicely and this is PERFECT!!! thank you for sharing
It's like she is ordering takeout. Hehe love it. Your so inspiring. So happy to watch another video
❤️😍👌Love that collage!!!
this is incredible!!! you are so creative, this video really inspired me to think outside of the box!
I absolutely love this!
This is such a cool idea!
I really like the idea You inspired me to start one too
I love these, Rosie!
as usual... LOVE IT!
Love those little journal collages. I have a journal for my small collages . Its filled up now and so fun to watch now and than. I did not do collages on the left side. It only lookes good when they match like in this case yours did. But if they dont match its very distracting. And the journal will bulk up if you do both pages and dont remove pages I am looking forward to your collages in this journal!
I love your organization wonderful ❤
Yes, this is fun! I admire how organized you are with your supplies. A goal for sure. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
It looks like the lady fox is calling for take-out or delivery of space soup. So glad you're starting a collage journal. I do one a year. They are a great place to just play and not get hung up on making a perfect collage. Can't wait to see more!
The Foxy lady is placing an order for Galaxy Soup 😂
I love that you are doing a journal, and I especially love when you crack up at your own collage! The fox heads were a perfect choice!
That was awesome!!! I'm looking fwd to see more of your collages!!!!!
Besides the fun collages you do, I love to hear you giggle, Rosie! ☺️
Brilliant idea……a collage journal. These 2 colleges turned out so cute. I love the smaller size…..just for a change! Great start.
Now it looks like the female fox is ordering soup to be delivered. Great choice for side by side collages.

Fabulous! Your wacky ideas and skill at making them work just blows me away! Love watching your process.
SUPER!!!!
I started using old books as a visual journal. Not only cutting up books and magazines for source material, but, also using a old book to house my work.
This is beautiful ❤
Rose…your work is brilliant! So much fun to watch you create. You inspire me!
Hola! Podrías hacer un video mostrando cómo organizas los recortes para collage? Sería muy interesante 😃 Gracias ❤
That planet soup is great. New follower ❤🧁
Brilliant!💕🤗
Fantastic.
This was fun, and I love your file box full of cut outs.
New ideas for me. 😊
Great start to your new collage journal. 😊 Love both collages, and I agree, the struggle with the planets were worth it! 😉
i mainly collage in a journal myself! it’s so fun to challenge yourself to make both sides cohesive, if a little frustrating at times
Love this ❤
🤩🤩🤩
Love your creativity! I have been following your videos for awhile and you inspired me to create some collage this summer. At first, I tried doing collage in a sketchbook but found that the book got pretty bulky and was putting pressure on the spine. One solution is to remove about half or even more of the pages to allow for that expansion.

J’adore ! :)
So glad to see you are doing a journal!!!
I love these pages, they turned out so cute! And having them all in one place is a great idea.
Yours was the first video I have watched that had to do with magazine collage. I am a TOTAL newbie, and I found your video VERY interesting, not to mention entertaining. I related so much to your sense of fun! I've been collecting some magazines and cutting them up. I got some from my local Buy Nothing group, some from the library, and some from a thrift shop. I loved your filing system, especially the one with the page protectors. That way, I can see what's in there at a glance. Thank you for sharing your video with me!
Very cute Rosie. Great way to use those smaller and interesting pictures. Thanks for the inspo yet again!
Loved these small collages! This is how I make mine 😊
What a great plan with the sketchbook!!! Love it!!
I love these and they spread across the page together so well. xx
I recently bought a photo album with the sticky paper pages to hold all my cut outs so I can see them all spread out!
Love this new journal. Looking forward to watching u fill it up!
Ale masz fantazję, 🧐👌
Wiw good❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
So fancy. I just use a notebook. Love it
Hello, Rosie. I was wondering - what are the hardest-to-find elements for a collage project? Thank you, talented human being! 🤩
So inspiring! I have felt stuck. You always come up with such creative ideas! I have the hardest time cutting out small things. I don’t even think I could do those little planets. Great job!
that's such a great idea!! thanks for the continued inspiration and the results of your 2 collages are so lovely...
Do you ever photocopy images in case you want to use the same image in a larger collage you could frame? I love watching you create--it's obvious you have an art background. Thank you fo sharing.

I enjoy your process, you are so creative. On another note OMG I just finished reading a book that made me think of your work. The main character does photo-art that made me think of you. The name of the book is “Little Fires Everywhere” by Celeste Ng This was a great story.

Oh I read Celeste Ng's other book "Everything I Never Told You" and really enjoyed it! I will check it out. Thanks for the recommendation :)
These are wonderful. I love watching and being inspired by all your videos. I too keep collage journals and they will bulk up quickly. If you don’t want a huge alligator mouth, this is the time to remove a page or two from each of the signatures. Just be sure as you tear one side out to remove the other half as well and you won’t have pages falling apart.

Oh, I think you are going to have fun with that collage journal, but don’t close it and put it away, 🙀 they need to be on display 🙂 I love the juxtaposition of the feline and masculine images, I know, I am being perhaps stereotypical 🤔 still I think it works so well.
