In this video, I share some of my earliest and more restrictive journal covers and ideas on how to move toward a fun, flexible, more limitless cover. Journal signatures are easy - covers take a bit of thought. I hope you enjoy! Comment below if you have a request for the next video and don’t forget to share and click subscribe. ❤️
If you are interested in purchasing antique or vintage paper, beautiful regular to large size antique ledgers, buttons, or other fun items, send me an email at AndreaGaslanRN@gmail.com.
In this video I have mentioned a number of products and people. I would like to give them credit here and share product links:
Sheila Gingerich can easily be found where Facebook Bohodaydreams lives. She has a KZfaq channel bohoDaydreamsSheila.
Barbara Easter creates some of the most beautiful projects I’ve seen and she is on Facebook and in Sheila’s group.
Karen Anderson has a Facebook profile Vintage Elegance Inspiration and that is also her KZfaq channel name
Lokta paper can most easily be found Etsy. Look for Himalayan Handmade Lokta. It is very inexpensive.

My feeling is enjoy the process. Don’t overthink,don’t over analyze, don’t compare, just create….make it your way and no one else’s.

I LOVE the overstuffed Journal. It adds to the overall aesthetic to me. There's something about that gator mouth that says - I'm so full of magic, I can't be contained.

I have been journal making for 8 or so years now.... and have to agree with you regarding deciding on the size of journal cover and what you want to use it for!!! Like you.... when I first began I seemed to always finish up with a 'gator-mouthed' journal!!! I have learnt from all my experiments and materials used what I use and when!!! You definitely echo my experience!!! Always love what you do.... and gain inspiration in so many ways!! Thank you Andrea for you outstanding videos..... I keep on coming back to see what else you have on your list!!!! I thought I had already subscribed.... but I discovered I hadn't!!! I have now amended that oversight!!! hehehehehe!!!

I am absolutely new to this craft but have been drawn to some of the shorts on KZfaq. So I landed on your channel and all of this is above my head. I've been doing crafts my whole life. You name it I've done it or am still doing it. The 1st art was sewing because of my Mom. She made us 4 girls most of our clothes. So I've always Loved fabric and lace and buttons. Vintage things and I am so in love with French script and that era. So where and how do I start? I'm not expecting an answer but maybe if I check all your past videos, there's some guidelines for me. Anyway I enjoyed watching this so much and I wanted to touch and feel your journals because they're so lovely.

One question...do you glue or sew the lace on your page edges? I usually add it last after the signatures are sewn in, so I have to glue the lace down. Also, do you add all your embellishments before you sew in the signatures or after? Trying to figure out the easiest way....
@JunkJournalTreasuresByAndrea
@JunkJournalTreasuresByAndrea 6 ай бұрын
All of the above truthfully. I tend to like Fabritac over stitching fiber lace but chunkier lace I stitch. Sometimes I get impatient or overwhelmed when I’m making a detailed journal so I stop and sew the signatures in so that I stop mixing the pages around and trying to add more. Other times I just work page at a time and then see how they sit together. All in all, I’m a glue girl who likes stitching when it is going to be accents. ❤️❤️
