I'm amazed at the variety of supplies you've collected for each story! This was so much fun to watch. Thanks for being so generous with your instruction!

Julie, I had no idea how involved your minis are...Sheesh, I'm tired just watching you! WOW! You have so many going on at the same time! And your sweet mother...sewing all of the bags for you! That is the BEST! I really enjoyed watching all of the steps you go through to create your mini albums!!!!

I have never seen anything like this…my jaw is on the floor! SO amazing and beautiful and completely original! You are a true artist! :-D TFS!

Great idea and what a great way to recylcle older books that are no longer wanted. Well at least your mini's are fun and very creative. I think they are cute! TFS! Hugs! Linda

Absolutely genius!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us!! Love love love all of your ideas!! 💖💖💖

Just came across your video. What a wonderful idea for children's books. Very very creative. Now I know what to do with a few books I have. Love it.

I use old and vintage children's books for my penpal letters, foldouts and envelopes.

THANK you so much for this video, Julie! Listening to (and watching) your process was so inspiring! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Love all your stuff and your cute books. Thanks for the inspirations 😍

It's July 2014 and I just saw this video for very first time, and I LOVE what you have created with these children's books. SO WONDERFUL! I don't know how I got to your page, but I am so happy to have found you. Beautiful work!

Oh my goodness. I don't usually comment on videos, but I love this one! I have a ton children's books, coloring books, flash cards & games I've been hoarding until I could find something special to make from them and you've just shown me so many great ideas! Thanks so much for sharing.

You are so right a lot of people know nothing of junk journal’s or fancy ones you are on to something these journal’s would be great for nursing home as for children thank you Theola ❤

Wow!!! Amazing!! So happy I found you, I have a ton of old books from when my grandson was little, he is now 20, so this is what I will do n gift them to him when he has his first child. Not happening yet, but one day....great ideas!! Tfs...💖💖💖

It is a wonderful idea!! I truly love children's books!! These are great!!

I love the way you combine coloring book pages, game cards, flash cards, etc. How perfectly delightful!

I love how you gave us a sneak peek into your world. Your books are amazing and I love how you put them together. You are AMAZING Julie!!! I could have kept watching....i want to see more:) Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Stephanie

Aren't Mom's just the best? What s sweetheart for her helping you out. What a great idea to do a paper bag mini. I would have never thought to use a book to make a mini. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Mary

I am in love with this idea! I've been wanting to make a smash book for my grandson. These would be perfect.

These are beautiful, not sure why it popped up for me now. I love the artwork in children's books

You pulled out those fairy tale books and I felt light headed. Then you showed the Cinderella 6x6 and i positively swooned!! Subscribed!!!!! Looking forward to seeing more of your work!!😁

Theses are so adorable, thanks for sharing! 😊

Fantastic! And I love your explanation at the end....very true about consumers.

What a fun idea! This would be a good one for my granddaughter to help me with. I love it! Hugs, Jeanne

Extremely addictive and wonderful ideas here. Love this video and the ideas you have shared. So many clever ways to repurpose these gorgeous vintage elements. Thanks for the inspiration. Working on something with Alice in Wonderland in the coming days, and this helps a lot. ♥️

Thank you! And here I always think my minis are so much LESS involved than other ones I see out there! I also tend to cut a lot of albums at one time and then do the base gluing so that I have a variety to choose from when I am ready to embellish and finish!

Lovely mini's and also love that you get your mum to sew them , I am always getting my mum to sew things for me . TFS Nicky

You are amazing! What an awesome idea! I am going to Disneyland with my great grandchildren in March. I am going to present them with a book to put their pics in. I'm so excited, I can hardly wait to get started. Thank you sweet lady.

I LOVE Beatrix Potter books! I would have a very hard time cutting her books up. I do plan on making a JJ from her books but I will cry when I tear her book up. Thanks for this very good learning video. I try and include the story if using a book as I love to read.

How beautiful!!! I have no idea how I got to your page but I'm amazed wow!!!

Great ideas!! You have created something very unique and I applaud you. Looks like I now have to add children's books and coloring books to my shopping list! Two thumbs up and 5 star!!! Hugs EllenBee

Hi.. Your albums are beautiful and Unique ... I Love books to..graphics are one of my favorite things to collect ..specially Vintage botanicals prints ..your books inspire me ..thank you for sharing your talent...XOXO ... Lorena

Oh what a good idea, to work on it with your granddaughter!!! That sounds like a great project!!! :)

Thanks Linda! I do love my old books! :)

These are adorable!

Man oh man, I love all of them.

Thank God for Mommy. I'm guilty too - mine s till takes my hems - lol. Your albums are so cool - love that you use coloring books, etc. I have a ton of them but kick myself for giving away my kids old books. Love how you did the pocket with the coloring pages. I'm going to try this with the princesses. You can color copy the pages when you only have one book & cut it down to size so you can make that pocket. TFS

Thanks Char!!!! I will add the JJ to my mental list of things to do!!!

Love this. I have a new grand baby and I think she will be getting some of these.

I have a friend that just retired and wants to be a full time Grandma...this will be great to give her in a smaller version to carry in her purse to show off her loves...thanks for the idea...most papers I have been looking at in my area are for newborns

these are amazing great Job your so creative B-)

OH Wendy, collecting the supplies is half the fun! You would be amazed at the amount of stuff I have in this studio to coordinate with all my children's books! :)

Hi Julie. I just found this old video of yours. It's really awesome how you have this whole system of making the albums. It's great that you can find all the parts new & used. Unfortunately, living in Florida, vintage things are hard to find as most people purge before moving here. So it would be difficult to use the same system but it's awesome to watch. TFS. Tere

That's Prairie Dawn! LOL Thank you for sharing your secrets , I am still nervous about cutting kids books up (well, aside from coloring books). Maybe someday.....

your art is beautiful!

Nice organizational techniques ❤️❤️

Thanks for sharing this. It inspires with. Hugs Holli

"what's her face?"!!! loved that. very sweet idea for children's books!

So funny and smart to use books and playing cards, so Nice albums you do. Now I know what to do With My childrens books. Thanks for the insperation bye

Super cute idea! Thank you!

Loved this video. Thanks for the insight.

this is a great video!!! Loved seeing how you work and how these beautiful albums come together Now you need to do a tutorial on your junk journals!! :) Just for me!! :)

Really cute!

What a way to manage my love of buying books and make a little book for my little friends and give aways.

I love this video. Tfs

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed them!!! :)

LOVE THE PROCESS JULES!!! OMG I haven't touched my edged scissors in AGES I mean at least 6 yrs lol. TFS I've been wanting to know for ages how u assemble them :) ~Mon

Ooooh Cabbage Patch would be fun! Go for it!!!!! :)

Thank you Tasha! I am so glad you enjoy! :)

Oh my gosh! I want to be your thrift store shopping buddy!

You're very welcome! I am so glad you enjoyed it!!! :)

Thank you, Lorena! An album using the botanical prints would be awesome! I wonder what kind of images like that I've got hiding here in the studio........:)

"Let's cut up children's books" - I have to admit that that title scared me because I have a general abhorrence for defacing books. Having said that, though, I now understand what you've done with them and I have to say your ideas are so very creative and fun and now I think I'm hooked! I began thinking of the stores where I might find children's books to tear apart! You are a genius! TFS! ;-)

ahhh i love them all!

You gave such a terrific idea. I want to go out and get children's books. Probably not new books but second-hand books would be just as good (and cheaper)

Of course I don't mind!! I am happy to know you like it well enough to make one too. Have fun!!

Thanks Sue!!! GO FOR IT: Make a Julie book! I would love to see other people's take on this!!!

How have I never come across your channel until now!? Doh. I have some catching up to do lol

First time watching and learning about this childrens book album...its quite nice and interesting. But what do people use them for?

Pretty!

Wow you have this down to a science!
