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. 😘

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.

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💕

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 ❤

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 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!
