Thank you so very much Linda. When I'm struggling with what to do, how I should be, or what to do with my website, I try to remember just that. You guys like me for being me, for being real. So I just need to keep doing that and it should be okay! Right? With the website it feels like things are suppose to be a bit more professional but that's not me. I want it to feel comfortable, like I invited a friend over for a cup of coffee or to hang out and art! So thank you for your words. Sometimes it's good to hear that, as a reminder. You may not find any purple on my website, but I hope you do enjoy it when it's done! lol

@@DeniseLush It wouldn't be real and be you if there was purple now would it?....lol You know I will be there. I can't think of a warmer or nicer placer than somewhere that feels like you're hanging out with a friend having coffee and being creative. Just be you!! How does that saying from the "Field of Dreams" movie go? "Build it and they will come" 😁 That's all you have to do. Build your website and they will come!!! 🤗❤

@@LindaIrwin7328 lol probably not. But I actually did like those pages I did that had purple! So who knows! lol Thank you so much! I am so close to being finished that it scares me. lol I Just worry I won't think of things to put on there. But I'm sure once it gets running, it will become easier and just flow. Fingers crossed!

@@DeniseLush Faith dear girl. You must have faith and believe in your beautiful work. You always worry that it's not good enough and it always exceeds more than just being good.😁❤ Creative ideas flow from within you and from what I've seen, they are fabulous!! Breathe, trust your gift, relax, BE YOU and just do what you do best!!!! I would love for you to get as much joy from it as you give me and so many others. Have a wonderful day!!!❤❤❤🤗

@@LindaIrwin7328 I think I need to print your words out and stick it to my wall to read over and over. Thank you so much.

Thank you so very much for this comment. It means a lot to me. I appreciate it. THank you.

Thanks so much!

So true! There's stuff in there I liked that I don't do anymore! Thanks so much.

Glad you like them! Thanks!

aww, thank you!

Oh thank you! I sometimes feel like that too. Like having a different journal for each style.

Glad you like them!

Thanks so much! I really enjoyed seeing that box flap page again. I need to do more cool stuff like that.

awww thanks. I feel special.

Thank you so much 😊 Yes that long quote is so sweet. I love it.

lol thank you!

Glad you like them! I don't think I had a KZfaq channel when I created most of those pages.

seriously? That many? I wonder how they determine the number of ads!?!? I even unselect some of them! Thanks so much Cher. You're so sweet.

Thank you so much!

Oh thank you. That is so sweet and flattering. It really means a lot.

aww thanks. I love everything you said. Thank YOU!!!!

Thanks

Thank you so much! I liked some of my old style too. I wonder if I can still do it like that? lol

Yes I'm a closeted purple lover. lol thanks!

hee hee hee! Thanks Jane!

oh thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you! My first time doing one!

Yes! Isn't that strange? It's like, okay I did it, so I should know HOW to do it right? lol thanks Cheryl

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks so much!

Thank you! You too!

Maybe!!! lol I have been using it a tiny bit more than I normally do. Thanks!

thanks so much!

That will be forgotten by then. lol

Thank you! Oh my! I'll have to relearn how I did it. lol

Thanks so much! 😊

awww thanks so much Ruthie!

Thank you so very much Mags.

Thanks!

merci

Thanks Kay

@@DeniseLush may need to cover my journal “ inspiration from Denise!”

Thank you so much! There is quite a bit of purple. I was very surprised! lol You watching it twice is a real compliment!!!

Oh thank you! I love the Dylusions Journal. Great paper! I will do more flip throughs as I finish journals.

Thank you so much!! lol Yes INTENTIONAL PURPLE! Can you believe it? well I need to actually finish another journal before doing a flip through. I have lots on the go, just not finished.

@@DeniseLush I totally get that - I have 5 journals in diff sizes with only my big Dylusions one nearly finished. (I started it back in March.) I love that size and format! I'm going to order another one. It really takes acrylics super well, doesn't it? Your fold-outs just blew me away... seriously. I have gotten a little more brave with cutting it up...mostly lace PaperArtsy pages 😁 They are so fun to do. I've also done a few tip-ins of watercolour paintings. But big time cutting hasn't happened yet. I've been following your tutorials and have made two journals myself 😊 I am proud of them. You've taught me so much these last months! I should send you a therapist fee! Lol xo

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I know!!!! Crazy isn't it? lol

Thank you. I think this is the only flip through video I have as I don't tend to finish an entire album before moving on! lol It won't be long before I'm ready for a flip through of my small black Dylusions journal though!!!Been flying through that one. My husband and I are from two small communities (Gambo and Hare Bay) but you're more likely to have heard of Gander where we were both born. lol

Oh thank you so much!!! 🇨🇦❤️

@@DeniseLush where do you buy all your dylusion products from?

@@michellegrizzly801 Ranger Ink and Simon Says Stamp

it's been a looooong time. I think I just made flaps, attached them and then folded them like you would a cardboard box to keep it close. if you try that and it doesn't work, let me know.

lol were the purple ones your favourite? lol My website is awesome! lol well I'm impressed anyway. hee hee

@@DeniseLush no not all the purple ones were my favorite....I liked them all can’t tell you one specific......😁💜

@@michelleg773 lol okay

Thanks. I do. I don't know why, just do. But apparently that wasn't always the case! lol yes they do!

I usually make my own art journals out of 8x10 canvas board and 140lb watercolor paper. I don’t know what prompted me to buy the Dylusion journal, especially since my handmade journals fit in this C&T Publishing canvas bag and the Dylusion journal is too big. Normally my basic art journaling supplies and my current journal are all portable because I keep them in the canvas bag. Makes for easy travel or journaling while my kids play in a park. Changing my set up was a mistake. I don’t know why the Dylusion journal killed my mojo. Could just be a coincidence, and it’s really just a less productive time in my life. I do know that Strathmore watercolor paper stands up to my typical media choices better. I have had to be careful about not accidentally making holes in the journal pages.

if it's been the past year or so your mojo has gone missing, it probably has nothing to do with the journal! lol

I hope you get your mojo back! If you're referring to the wavy lines, then I used the Dylusions journal acrylic block. If it's anything else, it was just me.

@@DeniseLush It’s so sweet that you responded and so quickly!

lol yea, maybe I really actually love it and I just forgot! lol

For the most part I stamp on paper and then glue it on. But if it's something in the background then sometimes I may stamp directly into my book.

No I don't.

@@DeniseLush thank you.

lol I take it you don't either?
