Love watching your videos. I want to start a junk journal to keep track of all the flowers I'm planting in the yard this year. (At 70 my memory will fade by next summer. LOL) I think it will be a pretty journal but also help me remember what flowers thrived in different places. On those rainy or super hot days while I work in the journal it will feel like I'm still in my flower garden.

Michele, these look great and I love your sketches scattered throughout! Finally a way to use some stretch lace, I'm totally doing a journal with removable signatures using stretch lace yay. I would love to see puppy sometime. Hugs and stay well.

Thanks for posting another video Michele. I love seeing glimpses of the things you've sketched tucked in this journal. You have such a realistic and peaceful way of sketching. I've been practicing this art and have referred to many of our past videos for guidance. Oh, and your sweet six month old puppy snoring is better than any background music! Happy day!

So much to take from your videos! I find them so inspiring. Your talking is soothing and real. Love hearing Millie too. I find your videos to be so real and relatable and instructive. Thanks from NC, USA💙 Id love to see you work with tea bag papers, more thrift hauls and how you use them, masterboard ideas, and of course more scrap busting ideas.

What a fun video Michele, some great ideas! I agree, adding your ephemeria is the best part!!! :) No! They are never done! 😀

I'm with you on leaving lots of space for writing when making my journals. Sometimes it's frustrating when I compare mine to those made by others, like Bohemian Crafting, because mine look so bare compared to her works of art. But I do put at least a little something on every spread, include a small pack of ephemera, and just remind myself the eventual owner can decorate however they like. I think I just haven't fully figured out my style yet. You're making me want to start doodling because you make it look so easy, but I do know you're far more skilled than I am.

Try not to compare yourself and your work to others. Sounds like you have a style and people will love it. I would recommending trying new ideas and experiments to develop your style even further. I’m sure your journals are lovely 😊

Love the binding with elastic lace and eyelets - better than stitching in some larger signatures...x

@thecreativecove6898 Ай бұрын

I think so too! Though they both have their uses. I have a hard time with permanent lol

Hi! I just stumbled onto your channel - and I'm loving it! Your method of adding signatures is new to me - and I'm very intrigued by it! I was wondering if you could link the elastic lace you are using, so I could shop for some myself - I would really like to try that method! I love the vintage & grungy style, too! Thanks & will be watching more!
