You always explain things perfectly. I’ve been going to therapy with my son after his brain injury and they keep telling us “repeating things more than once helps you learn and remember easier”

Totally agree. I do that with my students every day. We are definitely working on improving our retention!

@elaineatthecraftshed1993 4 ай бұрын

Thank you. You explain thoroughly and that is helpful. I liked it especially when you wrote the dimensions on each piece as it helps match the visual with the written dimensions in the description box. Thanks too for the laminator advice. Very helpful. I love the idea of putting my one sheet wonder type projects into a journal so this is right up my street. Thanks as always for finding the time to share with us ❤

Hi Cori! I'm a new subscriber here. I love your videos and your style! 💜 I was wondering if you have a tutorial of piece you put in the front cover at 1:44. Thank you so much and I'm happy to be part of your crafting community! Big hugs from Argentina 💜

Hello and welcome! You live in an incredibly beautiful country ❤️ I will walk through how I put together the cover, but it can be replicated with any collage masterboard and cluster and Tracie label combination.

@term2001 4 ай бұрын

I love your work. I do have a question about this piece. Your base piece has 4.75 inch wings but you cut the inside side of the front and back cover pieces at 5 inches. Is there a reason for leaving that quarter inch gap. Note. I'm not talking about the shorter outside side. I fully understand that one

@CoriDahmen 4 ай бұрын

I cut the inner measurement to 5" so it rests in the seam of the spine base. I want that inner section to be flush with the fold. It just makes the journal smoother and it's easier to keep the cover straight. And, thank you 😊

I'm sorry if I'm repeating a questions - but I LOVE your journal cover made from amazon packaging! Was the packaging a box or an envelope? I want to keep my eyeballs open for one!

@CoriDahmen 3 ай бұрын

I know, right? I've purchased many things since then but haven't seen this packaging again. It was an envelope/sleeve thing and I had ordered a pack of paper that came in it. I ordered the same paper again and it came in a different envelope.
