One of the things I really like about your videos is that you're so precise in explaining everything, especially the small incidental tips. The kind of traps one will always run into when making a journal. I don't know how many times I've goofed while doing a book. So seeing that you share these kinds of goofs makes me feel Iike I'm not the only one who goofs. Grin

Goof is my middle name:) Its just another opportunity to learn something new :) Never let a goof throw you off course :) Simply try a new strategy :) Sometimes you end up with something even better! :0)

I have a tip for you for moving the sewing machine. Get one of those cheap clear plastic cutting boards from the dollar store. Put your machine on it, and it acts like a silicone glide to help your machine scoot where ever you want it to go! You can cut it to size with regular scissors.

I was wondering what I was going to do with all the apholstery fabric samples I've accumulated. Good tip, thanks! And so easy. I guess my biggest challenge is creating the signatures, that is, gathering the papers into a satisfying stack.

@ThePaperOutpost 2 жыл бұрын

I hear you MInka :) Its perfectly OK to make a journal with plain while copy paper...as you traverse the world you can gather unique papers, unusual old book pages and maybe try hand dying some papers. Its a lot of fun! Lots of things other than traditional paper can be used as signature pages...like doilies, tracing paper, old exam pages, wallpaper, paper napkins and more! Have fun exploring your worlds

@Jana-TheCraftyGambler 2 жыл бұрын

I use the same process of adding paper when it doesn’t fit exactly. I too, typically, alternate the longer pieces with the shorter pieces so they aren’t all long until you get to the middle of the journal . Another way to combat this issue altogether, I have been buying the drawing pads from Walmart that have much larger pages so I can cut them to the exact size I need. The paper is regular copy paper weight and when I dye my paper I dye the whole page and then dry and cut down. I typically don’t have much, if not any at all waist on the off cuts because they are a great size for note pads and such. Another tip would be to use legal size paper to begin with. Just an FYI tip.

@painterlypatriot3564 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tips! I use legal paper to be sure I’m wide enough but I like your drawing paper idea too. P.s. I am Jana the Nurse crafter.

@@painterlypatriot3564, hi Jana. I don’t see many people with my name. It’s nice to meet you. I was at an estate sale the other day and I should have picked up the 2 packs of legal sized paper I saw. The main reason I us the larger size paper is because I like that i have the option to make my journals taller I’d I want to. But legal size paper is a great idea.

Hello Lovely Pam, yo, am watching from UK here over the pond bless. Thank you soo very for brightening my day 🦋 Love your fun, creative, inspiring tutorials and videos. I have a whole bunch of offcuts and big squares of fabric similar size as this gorgeous gold & red piece you have here. Am about to start making my first junk journal. I use Amozon large A4 envelopes that I upcycle, which I use for my covers and spines for my mini albums. Awwww bless you, love your sense of humour. Yes please do sing, love your humour and crafting. Its what is all about. Having Fun, Play, Create! Today is going to be planting my redcurrant bushes, rhubarb and wild strawberries this morning and will do some crafting this afternoon. Get my pile of fabric ruminants out. I also have some muslin and calico and want to create some faux leather for outer spine. Am watching having coffee this morning. Have a lovely day, fun, play night create! Happy Crafting! Stay safe, Take care, sending big warm hugs. Rainbow Blessings Namaste Lizzie xxx 💜🎨🦋🦋☕☕
