You're exactly correct. I watch lots of videos for ideas but when I sit down to do it I'm overwhelmed. I get WAY too many materials out and get confused and frustrated! T Y,this does simplify things and helps a great deal.😁💙

Thank you for sharing. Just beautiful! The big one would be beautiful on a cover. Again, thank you for sharing.

Nice video!! I like the idea of having just a few things out to work with. I usually get so overwhelmed when there are too many things to choose from. I have now subscribed to your channel!

It helped a lot Laurie. I don't know where to start half the time, making anything. A junk journal, scrapbook page, embellishments, anything really. So I just dive in and flounder for a while. Then make a plan and try to follow my plan. Maybe limiting myself to just a few items to work with will help. There is so much information out there, wonderful ideas and talented people. I want to do it all...lol Thank you for sharing a great idea.

I’m so glad you did this - I’ve been struggling with layering and feeling overwhelmed so this definitely helped! Thanks!

Your ephemera is so pretty. Love it. Looks great on glassine. And love the paper clips with dangles. Beautiful work. I like your style. Thx for video. Austin,TX USA

The first time I have seen those cute little bags, very pretty 🙂

I love this idea! What cute embellishments. I enjoy watching your videos, TFS!😊

Laurie, Your work is beautiful. The ones with the little girls are my faviorites, but all of them are stunning !!

These are lovely. You have a style all of your own. Lots of love.xxx

Ahh I love all these creations !!!! They are Gorgeous ❤

Thank you ..😊 Now I have a lot more to try. Love doing embellishments.🍁🍂🍃🌻🌾

Love the ephemera. I like your style...you have inspired me to make ephemera for happy mail. Thank you...

Great ideas! Love the repurposed materials!

In 10 minutes you really gave me a feeling of, YES! I just need to grab those few things at a time & go! I'm new to all this fun stuff, so I keep feeling intimidated, and at times overwhelmed. Often feeling my work isn't good enough for much. Thanks for the feel good!

Love this, Laurie! So inspiring! Love the idea of paring down the choices. You're so right, it the most time making decisions when there are so many choices. And the bigger our stashes get, the harder it is to decide! Really great video, my friend! Thanks so much! ❤️

This is what I need to do. I spend souch time looking for stuff in my stash and making decisions. I needed the lesson on layering too! Thanks!

These are absolutely gorgeous!!

Loved this video! Thank you for the inspiration, Laurie! 🥰

So inspirational! Thank you for sharing your ideas.

Wow! they are all gorgeous! I love all the layering!

Very elegant bags, thank you for sharing.

Love this. Your prep items are all so special. I have been so overwhelmed I sometimes just walk away and this helps me a LOT. Thank you I think this video was the answer to my problem of organization

Ok I know this is about 2 years old, but I recently subbed to your channel so I'm playing catch up. Of all the channels I watch your the most talented and creative lady..

Thank you for sharing your beautiful embellishments. You made a very good point which will help me tremendously!!!!!

Such a great idea. I have the same issue. I have tons of stuff to choose from so I get overwhelmed and just don't get much done. I am defiantly trying this. Less is more in this situation for folks like us I guess! LOL Love you and your channel! Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents with all of us. You are amazing!

Hi Laurie, I have just found your channel and I love, love everything you do! Tfs 😍

Wow! You get a lot done in a short period of time! I need to use your time management skills! Decisions, decisions, decisions make us crazy! Focusing on a few things does make good sense! Your embellies are beautiful! TFS!

Great information and ideas, thanks for sharing!

these are really cool and it is a great idea to do them ahead of time then you have it when you are ready to do your journal. Sometimes i do a journal page with the plain yardstick and keep adding to it.

Love these Laurie!

Thanks for the really good ideas! 🦋

Very Nice love the tone colors
