I love to hear your little chuckles and giggles as you are creating. The whole purpose of crafting is to bring joy-and it’s obvious from watching you that you love what you’re doing. This technique is WAY outside my comfort zone (and outside my craft supply stash) but I would watch you paint anything because it brings a smile to my heart. 😘

Been watching 49dragonflies for a week now. Every. Single. Night. !! 💚🧡❤ 🇨🇦

I just love that your stress over using old supplies can be heard and felt. It’s exactly how I feel when I try something new in a journal. Beautiful work! Thanks for all of your inspiration!🖤

Oh Barbara I just love watching your videos. I was amused at the hint of nervousness in your giggle which adds spice to your videos. The page turned out amazing as always and so much to be learned from it. Thank you for sharing and reminding us of all those forgotten items in our stash. Take care and stay safe.

One of the many reasons I love watching you is that you take chances. So many stay only within their comfort zones that they don't take any chances or spread their wings. You fly and take us with you, thanks.

Barbara, you make me happy! I love your laughter, your nervousness (which we all know from trying things we haven’t done in a while), and your unabashed delight at the things you love. One alternative to the hot glue is heavy gel medium. It needs to be heavy for items of that weight, and then you have to let it dry, but at least it doesn’t burn you! Years and years ago when I did more hot glue projects, I used to joke that I may as well just put some on my hand to start with, because I’m going to burn myself sooner or later...

Barbara this page was amazing! I’m not a big fan of mixed media because it usually looks like the artist is just making a mess. Yet your mixed media has some control to it and you add such special touches that I really enjoy watching you do mixed media! I really enjoy all your videos, no matter the subject! Hugs💕

I would love to see a flip through of all of your art journal :)

I love watching Martha to! Love her style and she makes all that she creates so easy and gives courage to try it out. I love your old art journal.

Seeing your mixed media art brings back lots of memories of my mixed media days and watching Marta, maybe I'll get back to it one day.

When I see a new video from you, I find myself saying, "Oh, Yay!" I know I'll always enjoy whatever you choose to do, and I also get a kick out of your giggles, especially when the copper gilding wax makes an appearance. This prompt and page turned out super fun!

So much fun to watch you do this! It is a great idea to go back in time to sort of recreate things. And as you see, you get an updated version. Lovely! And inspiring as always. 😘😘

So fun to see you enjoying yourself this way! It looks great, as always.

What a beautiful page!! Love your work.💓

I have been having relaxing evening, binge watching some of your fabulous mixed media pages! So inspiring. Thanks for sharing your talents!

I am in love with your laughter 😍 💕 ❤.. I love how no matter how scared you are you always give it go!!! Xoxo Wisconsin

Love the way it came out ! The colors are fantastic 😊💞

You definitely inspire courage and bravery. Thank you so much! Love it!

Oh my gosh, this turned out gorgeous, I love the colours, perfect sentiment too x

Your art journal pages from long ago is very nice and it already shows your love for grunge that you use today in your junk journaling. I started off with art journaling as well. I have several Dyalusions and Dina Wakely journals, but unfortunately I never filled up any of them. I take out a lot of their papers to use in my JJ now. I should actually practice doing collage with bits and pieces in them. Im not very good at collaging. Happy crafting ❤

Absolutely beautiful! Love those colors

You crack me up with your wax!! LOL But your page turned out so fabulous really like the look of it.

Just love watching your videos. You make me laugh 😆

What a fun way to use your old supplies and create some great artwork! I enjoyed watching it!

Love the grungy look. And when you added the gilding wax to the tape made the artwork!!! Thanks for sharing. As always, love your videos!

Yay... numbers and copper gilding wax.... Can't go wrong! Great steampunk type page... Fun and fab xx 👌🏻😁💕🌼

I love how the page turned out! The grungy style is gorgeous. 💕

I like how it turned out, too! I love how you take us along on your journey when creating a page!

Barbara, I love your videos! You always have the best ideas!

That turned out so cool. That copper paste just adds the perfect touch. TFS! ❤️

This was fun. Steampunk is always okay with me. Very inspirational.

I absolutely love this! You make everything look so easy! I just love your creativity and style!

Love love love how the page turned out, memories of my own art journaling!

How fun to 👀 at you, Sweety 😍😍😍 It’s a beautiful result 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Wish you a sunny ☀️ Sunday 🥰🥰

Thank you thank you thank you for inspiring me to use up the huge amount of things that I still have. Really enjoyed this !!!! ♥️♥️♥️

Loved it! I hope you do more of these. I've been getting into mixed media a bit myself. It is so much fun!

It's so nice Barbara and very grungy .... I like it so much ! Your art journal is absolutly fabulous ! Really enjoyed this kind of video !!

Love this. I have also followed Marta and love her work and have tried this. Now I want to try it again as well. 😄

Awesome Barbara ❤️ I was outside your wheel house but still very much you 👍🏻😊

Your talent has grown since 2018!

Totally awesome. Barbara, you are amazing.❤️

absolutley love this.I need to drag out my gilding wax.Haven't used that in ages.Thank you.

This turned out great! Blessings and Hugs 🤗

I love how this came out! It's so pretty!

This was awesome! Your quote was so appropriate . I so enjoyed your process and am encouraged to try this mixed media art form! 😊

Such a beautiful page, where you look, on every cm, you cand find something hidden♥♥♥ So i hope at many more of this kind of videos :) I can't use a glue gun, is a mess always, so i started to glue things with some industrial glue, and i was surprised that nothing is moving after so many years of climat changes, from humidity to dry heat and everything else. Thank you for this extra, have a beautiful sunday!

I love your grungy, steampunky, fun page.

This is so beautiful!!! 😍 I hope to make something like this one day...

Oh my gosh! Your art journal was amazing! Your new page was as well! I loved it ❤ You always demonstrate a technique so that everyone feels that they can do it and it will turn out fabulous. I can't wait to try art journaling "Barbara style"! TSMFS!

The minute you opened your journal I knew it was Marta's influence! I love her. Been a fan for several years. We chat on messenger some so I sent her the link for this video. I'm sure she will appreciate the shout out. I love what you did. It was an update to the old. And I blew the copper would make an appearance. Lol it sounds like you should get a new glue gun. I even have some of the mini ones and they don't leak like that. Maybe a cool gun. TFS ❤❤❤

Love it! Grungy, Vintage and Steampunky *daumen hoch*

I love how the carpet tape looks! I don't have very many painting supplies, but gesso has been on my Amazon wish list for a while. Maybe it is time to buy something new. Ironic since this craft with me is about using something old...lol.

I really love your mixed media videos! I’m just getting into it & you always give me so many ideas & things to explore.

i love the page that you just made in your new journal but i really looooove the pages that you showed us in your 2016 journal - i would like to try and recreate those as well - thank you for the inspiration Barbara - be well xx

I love how it turned out.

Honestly I have been binging on your video for a time 😂 and have to say you are so underrated compared to your talent and deserve much more❤ so all the best for fiture goals.👍

Wow 🤩😍😍😍 old techniques for you and completely new for me! I have never made textured pages like these. Love this and am going to try something like this🥰 Have a beautiful Sunday 🌞😘

I love this page so much! It’s beautiful.

I love the different textures you used

Hi Barbara, This page is absolutely amazing. I love love how you did this . Very interesting 🧐🥰🤩

Love this page. I did a journal cover with lots of textures like lace, burlap, and tape. I followed with gesso and acrylic paint and then I put a crackle medium on top of that followed by more acrylic and some silver wax. It was quite the process but you have me wanting to do a page like that with a message of some sort. Maybe I should put it in that journal!

Absolutely beautiful as always💖💖

Really enjoyed , and so inspired to get creating . Bought some acrylic paints earlier today ....first time ever . I normally use watercolours .

I’d love a flip through of this journal.

So fun to see you experiment!

I really like your journal to. I think you should finish it. 👍🏻

Enjoyed all your amazing mixed media art! Love the new page!

You can definitely see Marta’s influence by the butterflies and the addition of black ink. It does, indeed, show how much fun you were having with your art.

I love it! The page came out beautiful! This is also way out of my comfort zone but your video makes it easier to go ahead and try it ❤❤

I really liked how this page turned out. Loved the quote of Creativity takes courage. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!

Wow wow wow love love love thank you for sharing and don't forget the wax lol it came out beautiful

Turned out great

Love the way it turned out .

You learn me so much new things !! Want to try this now !! Love this page ! Nice day 💜

Gorgeous❤your videos are incredible

Oh no, I’ve fallen so far behind! Tomorrow is devoted to finishing envelope journals from your last video. But I live for your Junk Journal Me episodes and am really looking forward to working my way through the Summer 2020 prompts.And as luck would have it, I have one of Alison’s ‘ledger’ journals probably from a year ago which I have yet to use! Once again, love that you’ve given me permission to conquer that blank page!

Amazing loved it. Inspiring as usual. Will try something like this but have never done this before. Thank you.🥰

It's great to come back to old techniques - I love the color combination!

I just came across your channel, I love it...

Absolutely beautiful!

Love the color combo👏👏💜

Awesome ... I love it!!!

Steampunk seems to be following you lol! Loved this page - it's beautiful!

Love it. And such a great quote :)

Fabulous x

You should save that expression for your quote box.’ A journey worth taking’

Woooow sweetie 😍 that look so gorgeous, and you're right : no risk, no glory 😉 you're awesome!!!! 💕💕

Love it! Creativity does take Courage. Love it!👍

So cool. The carpet tape is a great addition for creativity💕🐬

Barbara, going forward, when using the glue gun, take the glue stick out until you get ready to use it. I believe you will have to take it out after the gun gets hot. So next time when you have finished using the glue gun, take it out while it’s still hot. Love your videos. TFS

I LOVE THIS!!! Gorgeous!

Definitely trying this!

when you are showing me a picture please don't then completly cover it with your hand. love this idea

Love this page, use the stuff that we already have....good idea.

Love your color combinations!

Very pretty page.💕

I love listening to you and watching your video's. Please do more of this sort of page. xx

That's a beautiful piece of art. Great job. I love it.

I enjoyed this so much! You have an engaging conversational style that kept my interest from beginning to end. Thank you!!!

Really amazing video👏👏....love your creativity and style😊♥️....l am really inspired by your vintage journal🌸🦋
