I am so in awe of people who can master English as a second language. You have nothing to be concerned about. Keep doing what you are doing. Love your tutorials.

I love your art! I also live in the USA and I so love your accent! Also love watching KZfaq with creators from other countries. Always appreciate creators who do their tutorials in there second language of English. Even if they may stumble on some of the words. They are way better than I am. I only know how to speak English. So they are way ahead of me and I applaud them!!! Sub titles are next best and music is my least favorite. I love watching you and hope you are taking care of yourself. Thank you for sharing your talent and your lovely wit. You are such a wonderful teacher.

Great video - I love how you made the envelopes without the score board. As for people making videos in their native languages - I say create in the way that makes you happy and comfortable. I watch creators from the Netherlands who don't speak English, nor do they use sub-titles. I don't understand their stories, but it's easy to follow their tutorials. Of course, as the daughter of a Dutch immigrant, the sound of the language makes me think of my Oma and I love to listen.

The cat snores cracked me up!! I have 5 cats and there's at least one of them hanging out with me when I'm crafting.

I wouldn't change a thing in the way you create and share! I find you engaging, entertaining and oh so creative. Loving your accent and I think you are actually quite masterful in speaking English. Thank you as always for all you do and put out into the world to delight and inspire! A most grateful Catherine from Virginia 💗💗💗💗💗

English please. Your chatting is what make me come back everyday. Plus your creations is joyful.

What a fun video, Margareth; you came up with some lovely pieces - reminiscent of Joie de Fi. As for your friend, I would encourage her to speak English (even if it's far from perfect). I have nothing but respect for those who are working to learn another language - I am hopeless, myself 🤣- and she would gain a wider audience. It would be exciting if you could have her as a guest on your channel, to introduce her to us and to give her a feel for the entire process. I have also heard that the best way when learning a language is to converse with someone in that language. Whatever the case, it would be fun if you could recommend a variety of other Dutch channels who could use more followers. 🇨🇦

I am an Aussie who only speaks English and I love listening to your accent and have no problem at all understanding everything you say and I love your sence of humour. Just keep doing what you are doing as it's working well ❤

I for one am very grateful for all the time and inspiration I receive from you lovely you tube presenters, and am thankful for your videos in whatever format you prefer. X

Great ideas!! I have a whole set of World Books from the late 60's just waiting to be cut up 🙂 LOVED it!!

Another great project. Thanks for the inspiration. Happy weekend to you and yours 💚

I have a huge set of encyclopedias from the 1980’s. The set includes a children’s set as well as an adult set. This is an excellent idea to use it since encyclopedias are now extinct. Lol Thank you for this great idea.

Another great video !! Your brain must never sleep as you have so many good ideas. You are so creative and you present everything in a way that is easy to understand. Your projects have made me want to try my hand at junk journaling ! Hope you are feeling rested and on your way to a full recovery. Hugs to you 😊

I prefer everything to stay exactly the way it is presently. I quite enjoy the accent. Thanks Margreth.

I have just watched this as I am binge watching all your past videos. They are amazing. I love watching them and part of the joy for me is listening to your accent. Your English is perfect and I can understand everything you say. You have a very soothing voice and accent and your sense of humour is a delight. Don’t ever change. You are perfect just the way you are. Love from England. xxxxx

I loved your color sense and clever construction of your box like journal of the gluten free cracker box. I love your videos❤❤🎉

Love watching you create! Beautiful items!❤

Your were so funny 🤣 😂🤣😂 whit the glue on your hand I what it couple of time and laugh so much! It felt good 👍thank you 😃😃

I like it very much!! Thank you!!!

Amazing. Thank you xxx

❤ Awesome ❤ Love them All !! Thanks for sharing !!

Love thank you for sharing

Really enjoyed this, Thankyou for sharing, really great idea xx

So love these projects. I have tons of digitals but the cut outs from the encyclopedia are my favorite. Thank you so much .

Thank you so much for the idea of using an encyclopedia! Opens up a new world.

Thank you so much !!

Really fun video. Thanks.

Your kitty snoring in the background reminds me of my cat. Such a comfort. Love the video.

Such great ideas.

prachtig, wat een top idee

Thoroughly enjoyed episode 1 of season 2 of Gunther the mini series! Can’t wait for episode 2.

How innovative!!

Fantastic. Love your style. Nothing complicated. TFS

Margreth, you just amazing.

Liked your makes today

Hello Margreth, I love to use Encyclopedia pages for tri-fold bases. Enjoyed watching you make the pretty ephemera. TFS

I love old encyclopedias, illustrated dictionery, technical text books etc for making background pages and ephemera. I'm happy I'm not the only one.

THANK YOU! Being new to this craft, I really appreciate you using such a simple source (the encyclopedia) to glean such lovely ephemera from. It can be intimidating to watch creators with all the expensive “stuff” when your own budget won’t allow it. Now we can SEE using what we may have around us, in a new way!

Great video 😍 Thanks for sharing great tips 🙌🏵🌺🌹🌼🌻

I just found your channel and you have kept me spellbound!!! I’m a beginner…& this has been so informative!! Thank you so much!!❤

Great outcomes from your 1 book. TFS creative ideas, love it. Your English is great, and I love to hear your accent and the way you laugh at your language question marks. Keep it up please

Hello loving your channel and all your great ideas x

The encyclopedia idea is awesome.

Thank you for this informative video! And I love to hear your accent and your sense of humor. Blessings

LOL, I actually thought I heard Daisy snoring but it was Odie, my cat. It's amazing how, when you really look, you can find so much good STUFF in one book! TYFS and purr from Odie to Daisy. Hugs, MK ❤️ 🤗 🌵

Hello. I’m from Spain. I don’ t speak english very well but i understand perfectly your explanations. However, make your tutorials in the way you find more comfortable. Love your job, thanks a lot.

Fabulous, Margreth. One can never have too much book page inspiration. I love any age encyclopedia as I find the etched illustrations in the old ones very beautiful. I've currently got 3 full different sets I've been given, so there's definitely lots out there if one starts looking. Thank you for the inspiration ad seeing your lovely results.

Love it, love it! You are such fun to watch! You have great ideas and creative eye. I wish I had listened when I started and had not bought so much stuff. I use it but could have waited until I really knew what I needed! An encyclopedia is a great resource! I think if I couldn’t speak English but wanted to do a video I’d use subtitles.

A very useful video, good to see how you use the images together. Thank you xx

This is one of my favorite videos from you. I don't have much storage or access to the beautiful old books. This helps me see the value of other types of books that I can get 😊. Thanks for the creative inspiration!

Leuke video weer! Fijn weekend

Thank you, this was very inspiring! 💚💛🖤💜 I don't have a printer for digitals so I use old books and magazines whenever I try to "junk journal."

I prefer your lovely accent. I watch you every time you have a video on. I like your style, your such fun!!! I love to see your treasures, because some of your likes are mine too! God bless you!!!

That was really good lovey! ❤️❤️❤️😊🇦🇺xxx

Love your beautiful art projects. I can sit and fussy cut and never get bored. Loved cutting paper dolls as a kid. Last summer I mixed matte medium with water to make faux leather. I didn’t wear latex gloves thinking it would wash right off. I was picking matte medium off my fingers for days. No amount of scrubbing would get the medium off. Please don’t change how you make your videos. Your English, instructions and projects are perfect. ❤

Native language with subtitles. Fabulous video. You did great for sharing budget ideas.

Really inspirational. I am going to try making some envelopes now and go hunting for an old encyclopedia 😀

Great video. I was using the TH snippets today and was thinking about you making your own. Looking forward to that. I find the oxides very much different colour to the regular inks. I mostly glue with either art glitter or cosmic shimmer. I only use gluestick for backgrounds. . Have a great weekend ❤️

I will watch your videos however you wish to make them - Your English is very good, and I enjoy your chats as well as your ideas and creations 😊🧡

This was lovely thanks. I went to the thrift shop yesterday and bought lots of interesting books. Atlas, plants, encyclopaedia as well as novels for their hard covers, a Jane Austin with small black and white illustratons and a poetry book. I was very impressed with my haul. You have just helped me to know how to us the pages.

your English is absolutely fine. Love your ideas

Great ideas from encyclopedia! I craft along while I watch you tube, so I like to hear some words about what is being done. So, not quiet, not having to read subtitles, not music, for me. And I have to be able to understand! Even if it *is* "English!" You're doing great!

I love this video. I use many images from books and will be looking for an encyclopedia now. Lol. Have a blessed day!

Your English is the best and I love it. ❤

I hope you are feeling better. I love your videos. I sometimes watch Luise Heinzl’s German videos and I enjoy them but I do get more information from her English videos. Your ideas to use inexpensive materials are wonderful thank you for expanding our imagination. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦

Thank you for sharing this today. A great inspiration to see how you used these pages and images to make things. I have been using calendar pictures, as magazines are too expensive, and I don't know anyone at the moment that buys them. I will have to look for a nice encyclopedia book and try using that. I understand your hesitation with cutting books apart. I have always loved books, and libraries, and old book stores.....sigh. But, I have started to cut apart some of the signatures of books I've purchased just to craft with, and it is getting easier. Just as it is getting easier to cut apart antique doilies and lace. Enjoy your day. Catherine

Have you ever watered down glue and poured it over a kitchen sponge. You place it in a sealed container. You then use it to put glue on smaller items. Love watching your videos. Thank you for taking the leap and doing them. Looking forward to seeing what you create in 2023

Fantastic video. I don’t have a printer and love to fussy cut from books. Thank you for giving examples of what to do with them ❤ I prefer English but I do watch videos (and films 😊) with sub-titles 💛

Wow, I still have a set of encyclopedias, from 1980, every volume still intact, I think after watching this video, they will become part of my craft stash.

What a wonderful video! Loved all the ideas you shared and the way you chatted as you created! The glue on your hand made me chuckle (I would want to wash my hand too - lol). Your English is fantastic - but please create however you are most comfortable. I will watch whatever you do. :) Thank you for all the inspiration!

I'm a french Canadian and not that good in english but i prefer earing you taking and if I need I pause and go search for what you just say and many time earing you and watching you do it it's perfect! Not earing you will not be the same and will be sad! 🙏 don't stop talking!😉😉❤

Very cool idea. I have 2 sets of encyclopedias one from my childhood and one even older. I can’t make myself cut in to them.

weer erg leuk geworden! en dat uit een enceklopedie....ik kan helaas nergens meer van die grote exemplaren vinden, maar ok . komt vast wel een keer. fijn weekend Margreth!😘😊

You have such good ideas and explain very well. I hope your feeling much better. Donna

Thank you for sharing this, I learned so much from you, I visit the thrift store when I saw your first film. I use now old en new books from the thrift store and I love it, is is not expansive and so much fun when you buy a book for an euro and you make so much beautiful things from it. I love reading books, so the first book I torn apart was a little bit difficult. 😅

I wish I had seen this video, before spending money , wow!! You are berry talented,?thank you for sharing your knowledge :)

Good Morning!! ... My paper books arrived yesterday! Never thought in a million years, Id order over 200$ w of paper... yikes!! but , as I soon found out, they are hard to find, so i am really glad I bought them, I am just dying to dig into them... of course, I dont want to waste one piece, ..... I also splurged and ordered Tims Correspondence, and Field notes.... stamp sets... I took all my christmas money and splurged on crafting stuff, as we still have another 3 months of cold, inside weather... My crafting is my therapy.... It keeps me sane and calm , in this wild world ... Hope you are doing well.... and feeling better. Yes, Love, REst... is important, sleep is the only time our bodies can heal... good sleep is very important.... lots of vit d3 too. I am fighting my own battle too Hun... I got osteomyelitis from tooth extractions done by a butcher dentist... now fighting for my life to get rid of the infection. so i do understand. Love and Blessings Margreth... prayers for us both, we heal up.. ❤

I think your English is great , I like your videos just as they are! Hope you are feeling better 😊

I have many books to fussy cut, but after your video, I think I'll buy an encyclopaedia or two.

Really love this video! There are so many things we can use to make such beautiful ephemera. Even a book can be bought for a dollar or less and you can make a journal. Thanks for sharing. Oh and I think your English is fine. I don’t think i would like it with subtitles, because a lot of the time I’m crafting with you and I don’t want to have to watch the screen the whole time. 😊❤

i LOVE THE WAY YOU SOUND IN ENGLISH! Very nice indeed.

So many good ideas! Thank you! As far as your question about whether or not a foreign language would be preferred over English if the speaker is not so confident, it would very much depend on their filming style for me; if a video is well-made and well-paced, I can listen and watch regardless of the language spoken; but if either of those are slow or dragging, even perfect English would not compensate...

Margreth, this was a fantastic video! I love all of the eclectic pieces you made! What an awesome idea to use an encyclopedia! To answer your question, I would rather have English subtitles if a person doesn’t feel comfortable speaking English, unless it is very easy to follow, then music is great! I hope you are feeling better.

Wow! You've really inspired me with all the ways you've used images from this ONE encyclopedia book. I ❤ every single piece you've made in this video. I especially love the fish card, but they are all really lovely. I have an encyclopedia that I am going to spend some time fussy cutting. I just went out and found one for $2 at a local thrift store. They only had this one random copy, but it is a start. Thank you, Margreth, for showing me some ways to use cheaper supplies to make beautiful art. 🤩 Hugs!

What great ideas, and you asked about a presenter presenting , they need to be comfortable in how the person is bringing their ideas, we can read the subtitles, I just love hearing the accents, it reminds me of my family from Norway. 🥰

Your English is charming, more so than many local speakers.

This is fantastic! I used to have a set of encyclopedias, I’ll have to figure out where it is. Where I am in the US, we say tapir as “TAPE-ear”; it sounds much, much nicer the way you say it. I love listening to you speak.

This was the most wonderful video. I am grateful that you speak in English. Subtitles would be difficult for me because I have dyslexia and it's hard for me to read fast enough until you've gone on to something else. But if you have that speaking friends and subscribers who do not speak any English then I will just make the best of it. I have loved your channel since I found it. And I especially love making things out of other things you don't have to buy. This encyclopedia idea was phenomenal. Have a great weekend blessings from New Mexico

Hi, I’m Jenn! I’m new to your channel. I am in Las Vegas, Nevada. I really enjoyed watching you make everything the envelopes, especially the one with the owl and the three. I just found your channel today. I’m looking forward to tuning in. Right now I’m not able to craft too much or do as much filming. So it’s nice to be able to watch. I cant wait to get back to it. I hope all is well with you. Blessings ❤️🙏🏽✨Jenn

Hi Margareth, Your videos are always great to watch, and this one has just come up after I’ve bought a set of encyclopaedia - good timing! As to your question - I am Dutch-born and love to listen to the Dutch accent. It reminds me of my beautiful Mum, and I could listen to it all day. If it is easier for the presenter to speak in Dutch, then the overall video presentation will naturally be enjoyable to watch. Natuurlijk!! Bedankt!🌷

Hi Margreth, just found you. Love your videos, that's the third one I'm listening this morning haha. My english is very basic and I'd love to watch you in english (I hate subtitles)..and it's a practice for me to listen in english. But you're the "boss" and you'll go with the flow of your listeners, I'll listen anyway.. 😉

Ingenious! Maybe one day I'll be as quick and accurate as you are. Really enjoyed 😉 this session. Oh yes, IF you're feeling fatigued by all means, try the sessions with music. Why not?

Wonderful ideas as always. I do not prefer music. I like voices even if English is limited. I listen to the videos while at work and while driving when I can’t actually watch them.

Please stop apologising for your English. It great. Thank you for this video for people who don't have lots of paper packs or money. Resources are very expensive her in the Uk unless your lucky yo to

When I glue the two bases together I put an acrylic on top for a min or so it helps prevent warping while drying

Thanks for your never-ending inspiration, humor and practicality. And, if you are you referring to your English skills, you have nothing to worry about! I am a teacher in the US, trust me, you exceed the skill level of many native speakers. --and who cares if you don't know the English word for occasional things. However. If your level of discomfort of your English takes joy away from your creating, do what makes you feel happy and comfortable! Happy New Year! You are a part of my creative routine, you are so appreciated!

You can’t get out of speaking English that easy 😂 -says the ex English teacher! Your English is great and we want to hear you and your personality coming through!! Great video!!

Your English is excellent.

If the person speaks English as well as you, please have them speak English. If not, sub titles and no music please. Love all things you made today. Great for those of us on tight budgets. Thank you ☺♥

How did I miss this 5 months ago? Maybe I had not found you yet. Either way, TFS! Very cute items.
