I could tell from the comments on this pervious altered composition notebook video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bpxxqZtimanWfok.html , that I am not alone in not liking to measure lol! So here's an updated version of those tips & tricks using newer products and adding in some fun twists like a foiled binding!

@karenkirk3185 Жыл бұрын

I am in complete AWE! I love you idea of no measure. I don’t mind measuring but I do want to make a quick project sometimes and no mess 😊. I’ve subscribed ❤

@Judylou09 2 жыл бұрын

Oh my- yesterday was my lucky day- I came across this video- introducing me to YOU- a gifted, easy to follow and to listen to instructor, and this method- I realized watching you what a hang up creating a cover has been for me- even though I have been art journaling more than 10 years! The other thing that happened was one of those God ( or ah-ha) moments! For months I have been totaling not into it- had totally lost my mojo and I couldn’t figure out why. To make a long story short- a dear friend got obsessed with art- in particular watercolors- and I was trying to imitate her! I loved with a passion what she created but I realized that that was her style- not mine! No wonder I couldn’t find the passion! And what made me finally realize that? Your video- that I watched tonight. One of the quotes you used was “Follow Your Rainbow”. I looked at that- and it finally hit me- I was following her rainbow- not mine!! No wonder I had lost my enthusiasm. I dearly loved her creations but I didn’t enjoy the creating of them myself. She did beautiful, subdued, precise works of art- MY style is the big, bold and wonky style of Penny Raile. Thank you so much Rebecca-and sorry this is soooo long! But I had to share my story with you! Love your channel for many reasons now!

Well today is my lucky day! Reading your kind comments really brought a smile to my face! You are so right! I think that sentiment, "Comparison is the thief of joy" is so true. It's hard when we see someone else enjoying something so much or using a certain style or medium...of course we want to enjoy it too! But like you said, if it isn't YOU then it isn't you! Of course you can try it out, but if the enjoyment is not there, it's just not worth it! I'm always trying to mention in videos that this is supposed to be fun! Crafters put so much pressure on ourselves to be perfect and judge our own creations so harshly! Life is way too short for that and we all need to continually remind each other of that! So thank YOU, Judy, for reminding me because I fall into the same trap myself. Have a wonderful weekend.

Altering composition books is my most favorite thing to do! I have given away dozens to friends and family (whether they want them or not), and use them for a multitude of purposes myself. I don’t mind measuring but I still enjoyed watching your tips. I LOVE the faux stitching idea! I will definitely try it! Foiling is something I haven’t yet tried but need to - the effects are fantastic! Thanks!

@RebeccaKeppel 4 жыл бұрын

They really make great gifts! My 15year old always asks to keep one. 🤣 I was pleasantly surprised with how well the faux stitching turned out and how well the gel pen showed up on the binding! Definitely give the foiling a try! It’s so fun and easy with the adhesives and doesn’t require a laminator!

Great video. Thank you! Can't wait to make one of these. When you paste decorative paper on top of the lined paper, do you do that to the front and back? or just the front?

@RebeccaKeppel 2 жыл бұрын

Yay! They are so much fun to make and either use or give away! It totally depends on the quality of the notebook paper. For the really thin dollar store composition books I usually put something on the front and back because the paper is so thin you can see the back of the design through the other side of the notebook paper. For thicker notebook paper you could totally get away with just doing one side!
