Hi Alison, I am a newbie to PaperArtsy and even newer follower/subscriber of yours. I adore watching you create and find pleasure in watching you create, especially when you laugh or I hear delight in your voice. I received my beautiful new stamps yesterday and I hope I have time to have a play with them for a few minutes of fun tomorrow. Thank you for sharing your processes and thoughts. They bring more than a few minutes of fun to many. I continue to be in awe.

Oh how I love your journal style! I’ve tried many different styles of art journaling and enjoyed the process of creating them but your style speaks to me like no other! Just the nature and peacefulness is so beautiful. Thank you for inspiring me to continue on my journey ❤️

This is gorgeous work. I’m totally inspired by your colours, composition and love of nature. You leave me wanting to keep creating. Thanks kindly for sharing❤️🇨🇦

Beauty beauty beauty….more more more❤❤❤

❤❤❤Thanks for sharing,Alison! So much inspiration.

What a beautiful art journal. Every page is stunning💜💜

Hello Alison! Perfect Timing! I was sitting at the table with my iPad when I saw you posted a new video… SQUARE is my favorite orientation for a journal… favorite size is 8”x8” but I’ve done 6”x6” and 4”x4” as well… I LOVE your Butterfly pages! I did a ‘flower’ 8x8 journal in 2019 (hard to believe that was 5 years ago - I do usually write the date very tiny somewhere at the bottom of the page) that I thoroughly enjoyed doing - I probably have enough butterflies stamps, dies, and ephemera to create a Butterfly journal as well… hhhmmm…. I am liking that idea a lot! That will need to be a future project as I already started last weekend yet another project (5x7 journal) using Marta’s (Maremi’s Small Art) Collage Books with beautiful images to fussy cut. Anyway… it sure feels amazing to be creative again! I mentioned in an earlier comment how excited I am for YOUR latest release - I LOVE all three stamp sets and thoroughly enjoyed your PaperArtsy blog post. Take Care, Alison and have a wonderful day! 🙂

It so inspiring to see your creative journey in this beautiful art journal 😍 I love all those great makes which makes the fantastic artist you are 😎 thanks for sharing, Alison ❣️

What a wonderful journey thru one of your journals in progress…🤍🤍🤍

Ok, I think this one is my favorite! I think I say that every time you share but the butterflies and the amazing textures of the backgrounds are just fabulous!

Gorgeous pages! I really like the books, books, books videos!

Those delightful stationary stores were wonderful, back in the day. I was always asking, ‘daddy, will you buy me this?’ Your works in this journal are quite lovely and inspiring. You’ve launched some great ideas within me today, Alison. I thank you, most generously.

Oh I loved this flip through!

very beautiful and inspiring, TFS

And of course I like all these nature inspired pages. I recognize this papercase book, I think I have several on my shelves with holiday journals. Mostly with black (or some brown) papers, because photos work so well on a dark background. I loved that shop that was close to my work in Amsterdam and I could visit during lunchtime. They sold beautiful cards too. Since I am on Instagram I take photos of most of my work (even when I don't publish everything). I store in filefolders on my computer per date, now I can easily find out when I made something.

LOVE!

I remember my cousin from London took me to one Paperchase shop in London. I really loved their collection. And then she gifted me a small journal from there. It's sad to hear that it's closed now. You inspired me to use my incomplete journals now. I used to start a new journal thinking I will do it every week😅 but could never complete and now it's just lying in my shelves. I will start again even though it's done 5 to 6 years back.

I love to experiment too with textures,your work is inspiring me to do more in the future, thank you .

This is beautiful

Lovely book pages, Alison🥰 You are so inspiering! Love love love from me 😘

An Alison video! What a great start to my Wednesday! 😀 Let me help you out with the American term ‘flair’. I believe it came from the movie “Office Space”, and it refers to round buttons that you can use to describe yourself. For example, if you like cats you wear a button with a cat on it, etc. In the movie there is a fictional restaurant called “Chotchkies”, which makes the servers who work there wear various pieces of “flair” . There is great pressure on the servers to wear a lot of flair. The term then worked itself into the mainstream vocabulary. Not exactly Shakespeare, but it was a funny movie that became a “cult classic”. My co-workers and I reference it a lot at work actually. Thanks for the video! And I saw some new stamp sets for you in Simon Says Stamp last night that I am anxiously anticipating.

Home Bargains and Poundstretcher sell those journals. 8x8 and 12x12

Would you be able to do a video on heat embossing and water colour paint please?

Your journal is so beautiful. I love the rough background. You called aquarell background?! Is this a paper or do you use something to make it? I would love to work with such a background 😍
