I brought my first golden book to make a journal. This is so helpful and u are such a good teacher,. I wish u were just round the corner instead of across the world. I would be coming for coffee and chatting to u often. But we can pray for each other and I can watch you so that is a blessing. You are such a lovely woman. Hugs from Colleen nz

Aww, I love that so much Colleen. I wish we were around the corner too. We'd have a great time having coffee together. I guess YT is the next best thing. I've met so many wonderful, precious friends through YT, friends like you, that I adore. I guess technology can be a good thing sometimes. Big Hugs honey

Hi Diane, I know this video is a few yrs old and you my have discovered this already but for any new journal makers, I thought I’d share something I have learned. If you take a heat gun and heat up the foil, it comes off in one piece without being torn. Once it is off it exposes the staples and if you turn it to the back you can pry up the prongs really easy by just gently tugging on the back cover, once the pages are out you can push the staples thru the front cover. The little gold strip can be used in the journal somewhere. Just thought I’d share. Have a great day!

@Jana-TheCraftyGambler 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, I am sure I will be at it awhile but I want to make them specific to each child and I hole to hang onto them and give it to them when they get old enough to appreciate them. It made my heart happy when my oldest granddaughter (8 yrs old) when she told me she would like me to help her with making a journal. All of my grand kids ( all but the newborn. Lol) love to craft with me.

Wow I thought you were going to keep the gold foil spine,with all those layers is it hard to poke a hole through it to add signatures?

@shawcraft1 8 ай бұрын

Sometimes I do keep the gold foil spine. I have found several different ways to do it, but this was one of my first ones and I didn't trust not having the spine reinforced. We live and learn, right? Now, when I make them, I keep the gold foil spine. It's not hard to poke the holes. I just let it dry first, and then I actually use a kneeling pad from the dollar store (for gardening) and I punch an awl through it into that kneeling pad. Makes it super easy!

Loved your spine technique but I was sad to see you cover the little foil spine. If you go over it with a heat gun the adhesive lifts like a dream to be used in the book or spine or as embelishments or little tabs 😍

Why not start at the back to loosen staples? Back to loosen, then front, and then back to remove would give smoother results with less damage.

PS> Get yourself a hardened screwdriver instead of the butter knife. We will have to start a support group for misused cutlery! I have been known to use one in a pinch, especially when i need to tighten the screws on my pots and pans. Don't tell my husband, please. ;~D
