Hi everyone, When I opened Journals & Memories, I invited you to join me for free while I started building the community, preparing the Classroom and bringing my courses, tutorials and creative resources together in one place. Over the past weeks, I’ve been working a lot behind the scenes - translating and re-editing my bookbinding courses in English, recording new voiceovers, organizing tutorials and preparing the projects that we’ll be creating together. And now Journals & Memories is ready for its next step. ❤️ The community will tomorrow become a paid membership for new members. But I want to make something very clear for everyone who is already here: ❤️ If you joined Journals & Memories for free, you can stay in the community for free for as long as you want. There is nothing you need to do and nothing you need to upgrade. Your free access will remain yours for as long as you stay a member of the community. This is my way of saying thank you for believing in this idea and joining me while Journals & Memories was still at the very beginning. I truly appreciate your interest and your trust. ❤️ My vision for Journals & Memories is much more than creating a library of tutorials. I want it to become a creative home where we actually make things together - journals, albums, keepsake boxes and other beautiful projects - while learning new techniques, exchanging ideas, asking questions and inspiring one another. And you can already start creating with me! 📖 The first lessons of our Creative Journal project are available in the Classroom. If you haven’t looked at them yet, I really encourage you to start there. Have a look at the journals I’ve created for inspiration, explore the materials and tools, choose the style you would like for your own journal, and then give it a try. You don’t need to make exactly what I make. I want you to learn the techniques and then use them to create something that feels completely yours.

I'm so happy you're here. Whether you love creating by hand, want to preserve your family's memories, make meaningful gifts, or dream of turning your creativity into a small business, you've found the right place. Creative bookbinding, mixed media and decoupage have been my passion for many years. There was a time when I lost my corporate job and needed to find a way to support myself. I turned my hobby into a business, and it allowed me to pay my bills while doing something I truly loved. Today, these crafts are once again my hobby and my creative escape. I'm excited to share that creativity with you, teach you the techniques I've learned over the years, and, if you ever decide to take that path, help you turn your hobby into a creative business too. I created Journals & Memories to be more than just a collection of tutorials. It's a place to learn, create, share ideas, inspire each other and enjoy the process of making beautiful handmade journals, albums, keepsake boxes and other paper craft projects. ✨ Step 1: Introduce Yourself Tell us a little about yourself in the comments below this post. We'd love to know: • Where are you from? • What do you enjoy creating? • What would you love to learn next? • Are you creating for yourself, as gifts, or do you dream of selling your handmade creations one day? We're an international community, so don't worry if English isn't your first language. 📚 Step 2: Explore the Free Classroom Start with the free tutorials waiting for you. I'm currently expanding this free library with new tutorials, resources and creative ideas, so be sure to check back regularly. You'll find step-by-step lessons, decorative techniques, project ideas and helpful resources to build your skills and confidence.
