You're a terrific artist Barbara, I just wish I had your brain. I'm not bad at making journals, and people who buy them, love them, but I know their minds would be blown if they saw your journals! You're incredible. You really do inspire me. Thank you for sharing your beautiful journals with us, I truly appreciate it. Take care and have a great weekend. I can't wait to see the next steps of this journal. xx❤😊😊😊😊😊

I created my glued fabric container using a small box. The sides are too short to hold anything beyond 3” high, lol. However, it turned out to be perfect size to hold tea bags in the kitchen drawer. So it’s a win one way or another, lol. Love your new Digitals and I might use the Dephemerember fun to create something for next years journaling.

@RedArrowTinker 8 ай бұрын

You always have the most gorgeous fabrics for your journals! I like the patchwork cover you made this time. I've found an online shop in the US that carries Tim Holtz and Seth Apter fabrics. It's called the Fat Quarter Shop, and their prices seem reasonable. Also, two women quilters I met at a craft show this past summer just gifted me a shopping bag full of their fabric scraps! When I asked them last August what they did with their scraps, they couldn't believe I actually wanted them. Hooray! Knowing how fat your journals usually become, I'm surprised you didn't choose a 3-inch ring binder for Dephemerember!

Crafting always lightens my mood 🥰 This year, I’ve made a December journal with allll the colours, not vintage and grungy at all… so I’m going to challenge myself to follow along with dephemerember in a completely different style 😱🙈 let’s hope it works out and I will definitely have fun with all your videos 💜

@allisonjames2923 8 ай бұрын

Love the way you’ve created the best of both worlds by using the ring binder & making a soft cover. I’m tempted to cut the ring binder section off the covers, then glue the hard pieces onto fabric with a gap between the ring section & the covers, to make a firm fabric cover with a flexible spine so the journal lies completely flat but is extra durable 🤔

Ich bin schon wahnsinnig gespannt auf den Dephemerember. Dein Cover ist sehr schön geworden, auch wenn du die Idee nicht ganz so toll gefunden hast, scheinst du ja für dich eine gute Lösung für dich gefunden zu haben. Das sind sehr schöne Stoffe, die du verwendet hast. Ich habe mein Cover diesmal auch mit gerissenem Stoff verschönert. Hatte erst überlegt, es so ähnlich wie du zu machen, wegen dem Nähen, das mir fehlte, hab mich dann aber dagegen entschieden. Den Refresher nutze ich nur für meine Inks aber nicht für die Oxides… Gut zu wissen, dass das funktioniert. Liebe Grüße Nicole

At first I thought you were gonna cut the hard cover off (which you did) then reattach the boards with fabric to make the journal more openable. ...but then I love the soft cover as well! What's a girl to do?? I'm severely in love with that bowl, I mean, REALLY! like i'm considering trashing my chores for the day to make one! ...nay, make SOME! oh girl, i MUST stay in the loop!
