Thank you for showing us that we don't need all the bells and whistles to make a beautiful journal. I love your painted flowers. Have a blessed day 🙂.

This is my favorite type of video. I love watching the creative process and seeing how mistakes can be fixed because we all make mistakes. I am in awe of anybody who can paint and draw. Your page is gorgeous!

Doing the coffee staining as you do is so much better than having stacks of paper drying. I really like that idea. I still love the patchwork effect. It really adds a lot of interest to the journal. I'm going to do one for August and use this months prompts as I really love the idea of this way of journaling. Pretty flowers x

Thanks so much, I love the patchwork too. And the coffee is a great way to control where you add texture :)

Hi I love the way you did your journal! So beautiful! I, too, am late to the party and would follow your style for August. Will you have August prompts? I’ll do July if there’s none.

I appreciate the patchwork and scrappy look of the journal. Sort of gives me "permission" for everything to NOT be too perfect or precious.

Love making this accordion junk journal even if I’m 3-months late seeing this video in November. Your flowers are very pretty, well I will continue working on mine & let go and have fun. Thanks for sharing 🥳❣️

I really enjoyed watching your journal surgery. I was hesitant to try and make this style of journal, but think I will make a small one and see how I enjoy working in it. I like how easy it is to add and remove pages. Also that you can really lay every page pretty flat to work on. It’s a pretty fun idea.

I ADORE these types of videos, watching your process and hearing you talk it out. This page is SO LOVELY, Meg!! I learn so much from your videos; adding pages and fixing your cover, coffee dying, water colors, a rip here a tear there, colored pencils, stamping - so many techniques that all came together BEAUTIFULLY! Can you tell me, are the Arteza paints you used water colors, acrylics, oils?? I've heard so many good things about their paints and the tubes would be pretty easy to store. Well, thanks again for your wonderful video and sharing your beautiful junk journal pages - so encouraging and inspiring! Blessings! Stacy ~~P.S. LOVE the pocket with the cute card hidden inside, too.

I'm having a similar issue re capacity. I've rationed myself a bit to a prompt only using one side of a spread, for one or two prompts. I think it will work. I'm behind on posting on IG but I'm actually up to date with the prompts......for once!!!!!😁❤️👍 You're managing to stay neutral. You rock meg!!💜

i love all your creativity!! what kind of paper do you recommend to coffee stain?

@megjournals 3 жыл бұрын

Thicker, paler paper will handle and show coffee the best. But it’s worth experimenting with the papers you have and doing some text swatches to see what you like best!
