These projects are lovely and so clever. You reminded me that I have a stack of bird themed supplies just waiting to be made into a junk journal. I just love birds and taking a peek inside your treasured books was fun.

Thanks Phinny, yes they were great books and I love a bird theme too, I use them a lot. I think we both are going to have to make a bird junk journal, aren't we? 💗💗

I specifically bought a die to make a small coin envelope to hold gift cards. I used it twice and now, after watching your fabulous video, I do not need to buy anymore dies for envelopes. I can just re-watch your video and grab some paper and make one. So simple! thank you

Thank you, I didn't know such a die existed, but yeah, these envelopes are so easy to make! 💗💗

I knew there was a perfect reason to keep those National Geographic special edition folios. I’m such a fan of maps and they aren’t as plentiful as they used to be. I think a moth stencil might be in order. Totally off topic ~ you have such lovely hands and your manicure is so elegant.

Thanks Kate, those National Geographic special edition folios sound rather good. Oh yes, a moth stencil is winging its way to you as we speak! 💗😂💗

Kari, you are so clever and inventive. I also love that you keep things fresh and bring us new ideas. I'd have never thought of making some of these! Thank you so much for sharing. You're very good at explaining and I don't measure things either! 😁Such lovely books, too! I quite envy them. I adore to go to used book stores and thrift shops to find these sorts of treasures. I've no qualms cutting up and old book. It gives them new life, doesn't it? I do hope you are well, my dear. Much Love and Bless xoxo

@KariGibsonArt 11 ай бұрын

Thank you so much Lindsey, I do try to think of new things every week. Yes, I do love books with nature and art in them - heaven! I have been altering/repurposing books for over 20 years now (old ones make great sketchbooks), I love to see them get new life. I hope you are keeping well too, love and blessings! 💗XX💗

Wonderful way to repurpose and saving them from certain death! Why not use?? What's the other option , set on a shelf forever? No enjoyment in that. 've been focused on using up my book pages, so this was perfect timing. Thank you for sharing! I've saved, and I'll have to watch over and over, as my memory stinks! Lol P.s. your last video was good! Lol

Thanks so much Christy, yes, I do like to give old, unloved books new life and I am glad you will be doing some of these too. Yes, I feel you with the memory thing, LOL! 💗💗

handy to know, especially if you were going to make a bigger journal🙂

@KariGibsonArt 10 ай бұрын

Thanks, yes indeed, these large pages are difficult to use in smaller journals without cutting too much out, a larger journal would be great for them! 💗

Thanks Tracey, I think apart from fairly modern paperbacks, older books don't sell too well, it is a shame, but I do like to give them new life in the form of journals and ephemera (I can never type the word epehera, empemera, ephemera)! 💗💗

Thank you, my grungy journal is still a work in progress, I have some more pages to do and then I will do a flip-through. Oh my goodness, you made two? That is amazing! 💗💗
