+Artsy Chik - Hi sweet lady! You crack me up! You are going to have A LOT of journaling to do...LOL!!! I don't even know how to begin to thank you...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :) Big Hugs.

+Vintage Moss - Hello sweet lady :) So happy you love the new collection and journal! Thank you so much for all of your continued support and for leaving a comment...it means so much!

+Dreamz EtCetera You are most welcome : D

Thank you Renee!

Thank you so much Alice!

+simon peter Shaw - Hmmm...and what can I say as far as the person who is responsible for my creating this collection??? Hmmm....I wonder...LOL!!! Thank you for all the inspiration Bev...big hugs!!!

+Geena Marquez - Thank you so much Geena!

+Bunny Bow - I just discovered that it is best to place the tape on a transparency and then run through your printer. The tape pulls off really easy from the transparency and you can reuse it. It is much easier than the placing on cardstock as I previously demonstrated :) Thank you so much for taking time to leave a comment!

+Tiina Himmanen - Thank you so much Tiina!!!

+Carole Ann Colca - Thank you for always leaving a comment and for all of you support...it means so much!

Thank you so much Fe!

Thank you Paulette!

+Monique Gate - Thank you Monique!!!

Thank you so much Teresa. I hope you enjoy working with the digis in creating your own Austen journal :)

Thank you for taking time to leave a comment and for all the support you give with my art! Hugs...Jen

+Mary Almsberger - Hi Mary! Thank you so much for the ever so kind compliment :) Hugs.

Thank you so much for your ever so kind comment :) I work very hard on trying to select music that goes with each work of art and so it means a lot to know that it does go noticed. Thank you again...Jen

Dreamz EtCetera you are most welcome!

+LILRHONDALEE - Thank you so much!!! I wish you a prosperous, healthy and happy 2016 too! I wish I had more time to do more videos. I keep trying to convince my husband to take up arts & crafts and help me...but he just looks at me like I am an alien. He is a finance guy...all business and so...well you get the picture...LOL. Can't wait to see your 2016 creations as well :) xo

Thank you so much Yolanda!

Thank you so much!

+Terrys Scrapbooks - Thank you so much!

Did you know you can get paper dolls of the downton charactors

+Lucille Crump - Thank you so much Lucille. I just sent out a newsletter with a coupon for the new Jane collection. If you get a chance...I would love to see pics of your journal. I find it fascinating to see the amazing works of so many creative minds :)

Thank you so much Dolores!

Thank you Gracie :) We used Ivory 25 lb. parchment paper. Happy New Year to you too!

+MsStuffgalore - Do you have pics of your album? I would love to see your work if you get the chance :) So happy you love the collection. I did have a little difficulty keeping the end part of the book open due to how large it was but what was even harder was trying to reach around the tri-pod of the camera. ..there has to be an easier way. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment :)

+Dreamz EtCetera Wonderful to get your response. I wish I were a little more techie, as I do not know how to make a video or put it up on KZfaq. I originally purchased a Jane Austen Journal and bookmarks from another Etsy dealer, but it comprised only a few thick pages and was limited. When I discovered your collections, I decided to make one of my own utilizing an existing book and binding, tearing out many book pages and gluing others together. I removed as many of the pages from the original journal I purchased as I was able and incorporated all of your Jane #1 kit. It is bulky, but I love it. I haven't really journaled a whole lot, but I love looking through it repeatedly. I will try to take a few photos of the album, but where would I send them to you? I recently added a few paper dolls of girls of that era and also one of Mr. Darcy with Colin Firth's head! LOL - love it.

+MsStuffgalore - I bet the paper dolls added a wonderful touch to your book. I have been wanting to do graphics of the different Jane women, her dresses and all of Jane's men. Could you please send photos to dreamzetc@dreamzetc.com :) I am working on the Gallery page of new website...would you mind if I added your project to the gallery?

+Dreamz EtCetera I will take some photos and send them on to you. My hubby just informed me that his movie camera will take videos and he has a tripod for it. I just need to learn to use it AND to learn how to utiize a You Tube sight. Another challenge. Oh, certainly you may include my project in your gallery, if you think it's worthy. Thanks.

+sangelwings1959 I hope you got it! :)

+LILRHONDALEE You know I did! ;)

sangelwings1959 Yay!! It was totally meant to be. I bet it must be so amazing to have and hold this incredible work of art...omg! A keepsake to cherish until the end of time! :)

+sangelwings1959 - I don't know what to say...I am so touched and speechless! I am in almost in tears just thinking of your being in tears at the thought of your mom. Giving you a big hug back!!! Jen

Thank you so much Tina!

+Fiona J - Thank you so much Fiona! It really means so much to hear your words of inspiration! I think I completely chunked out the journal to the extreme...haha...but I was having so much fun I couldn't stop :) Thank you again for leaving such a thoughtful comment!!! Hugs.

You are most welcome ... Praise where it is due .. I find I really like the chunky journals, once you start you can't seem to stop.. :)

Thank you so much Bev...I will do that :)

Thank you! I did not make any additional signatures. When I received the book from my mom she already had the signatures sewn in (I believe there were 6 signatures). I had embellished the existing signatures with fabric & trim sewing in pockets, flaps, etc. I then added in stamping work, tags, and so forth :)

Hi Tere. I have not released the Cottage Rose collection yet. I ended up getting so many orders for the Jane journals that I have not had a chance to finish the collection. I do hope to have it available really soon. I announce my new collections in my newsletter and attach a coupon in it. You can subscribe at dreamzetc.com :) Thank you for leaving a comment! Jen

+Dreamz EtCetera thanks I'm already subscribed to your website. Tere

Thank you so much Olga. Yes I still have the paper collection (Simply Jane) available on my Etsy shop and dreamzetc..com shop :)

+Lilias Farrell - I stitched this album together exactly the same way I did my Ooh La La recipe album tutorial (Part 6) near the middle section of video. Here is the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLGPdc5q2JqtnZ8.html I show how to do make the template (to use to mark where you are going to punch holes through spine) and how to stitch the thread through. It is quite simple to do :)

+Nancie Clarke - Hi Nancie. I had first attached each of the covers to Kraft Tex...so the Kraft Tex made the spine of the book. I then applied a double layer of Medium Weight Chipboard (cut to the size of the spine) and glued over the Kraft Tex for durablility. I then created my template (made of heavy cardstock or Kraft Tex) to mark where the holes were going to be punched on the spine. I show how to do this in my Recipe Album tutorial (part 5...I believe). Then stitched the signatures into the spine. I finished by covering with the trip and floral ribbon :)

+Dreamz EtCetera thank you

I print on Ivory Parchment Paper or Neenah Exact Index Card Stock, 8.5 x 11 Inch, 65 lb. I purchase from Amazon :)

I looked on Amazon for the Neenah paper and could not find it under this name, they have a 67 lb weight, not 65 and not one called Index Card stock...do you have a serial number maybe? Sandy

Here is the link :) www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006P1ER8O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thank you, very reasonable paper!

Hi Cheryl. I am sorry you have a difficult time watching the video when I brought the book close to the camera. It is something I will definitely keep in mind when doing future videos. Happy New Year to you and yours.
