Great idea making 12 journals for a year and then binding them into a big book and reuse the monthly journals. Love how your stitches made the veins of the leaves on the cover.

@tracygarvin2902 Жыл бұрын

What a fabulous reminder that not all projects have to be super fancy or decorated to the max… I love the simplicity but effective nature of this journal 😊

@sweetcurly28 Жыл бұрын

Maybe make a box that’s open at one side to “hold” all the 12 journals? Keeping them all the way they were all year but a place for them to be. 😊

Walks up to stranger on the street and throws open my trench coat and begin gesturing inside “ want to buy a journal? Free scrap sampler to try it out, come on it’s only one, it’s not addictive at all! And my prices are the best” lol😂

Love these little journals and especially love the idea of binding them into one 12-month journal. Or, if you didn’t want to do 12 months, you could do the four seasons and decorate accordingly…..!!!

OMG, the soundtrack over the sewing MONTAGE made me LOL! Love the hanging file idea. Your eco dyed pieces look perfect on there!

Fabulous!!! I love the idea of JUNK JOURNAL PUSHER!!! 😂 YES!!! You make such great videos! Your method of recording when you are sewing is brilliant! Thank you for sharing your talents! I always leave your videos with such great ideas. AND your videos are never too long. 👍✌️❤️😊

@LedgerAndLace Жыл бұрын

Oooooh, that sewing on the leaf is AWESOME! I like how you've created a "base" journal that can be added to and expanded on. It also makes it so customizable. Also, you've answered the conundrum of what to do if you don't have Fabri-Whatever. Ha! 🙂

This "gateway" journal is so simple yet, so lovely. The stitching through the eco-dyed leaves is a really nice addition. Thx!💗Not to worry...I'm already an addict. You can't "push" the willing.😁 Love and blessings.💜💜💜

Love the craft time mystery video's. Can't wait for that one. Also want to say even though you may not be a beginner as I am not, you can still be inspired and learn from others. for instance....I am working on a cute give-a-way for Halloween for a few of my friends and family. I was just this morning wondering how to do a quick and cool cover for it. While pondering, I decided to do my morning cruse on KZfaq. And.... this video really gave me an idea to use the file folder cover to place the Halloween front I just finished. Thanks for the inspiration and as previously mentioned, you can never think that you can't learn from a beginner's video if you are an experienced book maker. I just learned a lot!!! YAY!!! Thanks for the idea Nik!!!
