When I was a card maker every edge and everything had to be absolutely straight and lined up perfectly, now making junk journals I embrace all imperfections.

Julie, I just enjoy your channel so much! I learn a lot but also I just love all your "visiting" with the viewers. I feel like I know you and your twins - and the kitties, tho of course, I do not. I like everything you make and learn so much. I have a tip for you that maybe you already know. I love magnets but I only use one magnet and then a 3/8" steel washer in place of the second washer - thinner and cheaper and of course, you can sew it onto the journal if you want. So my magnets go twice as far. I am not nearly the talented crafter you are but I am just as cheap (thrifty?). I also have a funny tip. I got a sort of serrated bread knife and I use the blade as a tearing ruler. I got a large lot of knives at the thrift store - they don't offer them for sale, they just give them to me - and this knife just looked perfect for tearing so I tried it. Anyway, Happy Crafting from the middle of the USA (northern Iowa).

When I did lots of floristry I had a knack of holding a stem in my left hand between my thumb and first finger and I used to cut the skin…..the flap between thumb and first finger. You can’t imagine how much blood gushes out from just a small cut there ! You’d think having done it once I would have learnt my lesson 🤦‍♀️noooo. Thankfully generally the worst I get are paper cuts….sheesh they hurt so bad and stabbing myself with pins or sewing needles! Oh and yes I’ve put a sewing machine needle through my finger 😵🥴 not that I’m clumsy just try and do too many things at one time. Hope you’re feeling better Julie and your hand is healing well.

Looking good Julie. Yes I got my flu shot last week (USA) and my arm was swollen and red and hurt. 😜 it usually doesn’t bother me. And I went for a crafting retreat and cut my pointer finger while cleaning my scissors. Band aid in the way but it kept bleeding so had to wear one and it made my crafting difficult. But mine wasn’t as bad as yours. Glad you’re on the mend.

So helpful watching your process. I too have an injured hand...thank goodness it is my left one..but I lost control of my largest chef knife, newly sharpened, while cutting a very large sweet potato. Thankfully I did not cut off my finger (the pointer one) but I did remove a good bit of the skin along the side of my nail-bed. So much red stuff pouring out!! Problem is there is no skin covering the wound so I am having a tough time using my left hand, but I have to. Going on six days now. Seems somewhat better, keeping my other fingers crossed it will completely heal with new skin to cover what I chopped off. Funny as you were cutting around the book plate I was yelling, "Julie, don't you remember you said you needed to cut a small bit away from the the line you drew inside the frame", Seems you couldn't hear me. Ok, now on to the next video.

Very much enjoyed this video….ended up watching twice because of learning new techniques!! I get on camera and it’s like I can’t figure out what to do and my mojo blows out the window!! Major bad habit of gluing upside down!! ❤

Ooh, your journal is coming along beautifully! And the papers are so yummy! I like the touches of gold idea too! Can/t wait for part 3🙂

This was wonderful so informative. I've been doing this for a while but I never actually have done a hardcover book. Anyway I don't want to wait a week. Hahaha see you soon

Great video,will you be showing how you attach your signatures together before binding? Do you sew them? Then afterwards,will you show us you binding your signatures? Sorry,I am still learning!

@CameliaCraftsDesigns 9 ай бұрын

Hi Vik, yes i'll be showing all that love. I don't sew them together before i bind them. I have an older turotial where i did a 5 signature journal here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8-gp9NktNG4fI0.html Hope that helps love☺️🤗💜

Oh no your poor hand! My skin is terrible for healing, always takes me 3 times as long as anyone else. Hope it gets fully better soon. I would love to see you use some gilding on your journal. I am a total fail with gilding flakes, I have loads but never managed to get the technique right and mine always ends up looking a complete mess - would love to learn how you do it. x

Hi Julie, I'd love some of that braille paper...... I'll think of something to send you in return

Sounded like a nasty cut to your hand. Glad it’s getting better.certainly go for gold on the cover and on page edges too. I have several family books from early 18C and 19C that have gold page edges. One has gold illuminated print and pictures. So can’t have too much gold Julie.😊🐱❤️

Following this, and have got as far as the cover...now deciding what colour to paint it....

@CameliaCraftsDesigns 9 ай бұрын

I think that's the hardest part. My original idea was for a dark green, but i didn't have dark green paint, but this came out better than i expected. thanks love, hope you're enjoying making yours☺️🤗💜

Oh Julie! This is absolutely yummy looking! I love the way the blue shows through the filigree of the label holder! Getting pretty fancy, aren’t you! (I’m always in favor of a little gleam & glitter!) So sorry about your hand, I’ve been nursing a burn from melting wax for a seal on my left hand! No fun! I had my flu & Covid vaccines this past week & both arms were sore for 4 days, plus I slept a lot the first couple of days. Other than that I didn’t have any other symptoms, so I guess I shouldn’t complain. Yesterday I got the first half of the shingles shot & I’m back with a very sore arm. Have to do the second half in December, plus they were all out of the RSV shot so I’m not very happy how this is being drawn out! But it’s still better than getting really sick! Do you also have another Covid shot in the UK? It’s supposed to protect against some of the new variants of it. Feel better soon & thank you for a look at your newest journal! Erica❤I sent you an email.❤

Cover turned out great 💕. I’m not crazy about bright gold. Antique gold is okay or bronze.

Hi Julie always wait in anticipation for your next posting and was worried when you didn’t show up… anyway good to see you pop up tonight and enjoyed as usual! Just a question… why do people use all different type of book pages then cover them up with pockets, collage etc so why not just put in plain paper? P.S I’ve finished my first journal for my garden notes and love it. Only took two months lol😂

@CameliaCraftsDesigns 8 ай бұрын

Thanks Lynne☺️ i have to say i'm of the same mind as you and i don't like covering everything up. That's one of the reasons i like to make alot of my ephemera removable or just cover less appealing elements. Congrats on finishing your first journal love😁💃 ps another video is going up later today😁🤗💜
