Lake Dunlap July 4, 2024 Boat Parade
I know this doesn't have anything to do with crafting or journals, but I just had to let you see this. Here's a look at what's happening in my back yard today, July 4, 2024. The Lake Dunlap dam outside New Braunfels, Texas is now repaired and the river/lake is back after almost 5 years. That's my husband, Mike, in the rope swing. Happy 4th, y'all!

Oh my, these are beautiful Becky!❤ Great idea for the crocheted scraps. Thank you for sharing.😊

Wow I absolutely love these beautiful pieces😊

Very nice! Thanks for sharing
@@loveforpaper6203 Thanks so much!
I am new and found it confusing until I watched it a few times! Excited to try this!
@@cherylb6349 Thanks so much for watching! Have fun!
Very nice ❤ Hope you had a blessed day ❤😊
@@virginiamartin-authorspeaker Thanks so much, Ana! You too!
😍❤️ how fun! Happy 4th!
@@carolbeeding4270 Thanks Carol!
Thanks for sharing I will definitely give these a go this weekend and will link back to you ❤
@@tracyjackson8710 Thanks so much Tracy! Have fun!
😍❤️ I really like these fabric collage pieces. I have several crocheted pieces but I have yet to cut any of them up. I’m afraid if I do I’ll get an unraveling mess. Do you use fray check or something similar to keep the pieces from unraveling?
@@carolbeeding4270 Thanks Carol! No, I just cut them up into managable sizes. The crocheted pieces stay together pretty good because every stitch is basically a knot.
Wow❤❤❤ I love this😊😊 Thank you for sharing ❤️ 😊
@@virginiamartin-authorspeaker Thanks so much Ana! These are so much fun to make!
Beautiful journals!❤
Thanks so much Pam!
Gorgeous!
Thanks so much Pam!
I love your videos. Do you have instructions on how to put the closures you use. Interested in the how to on the eyelets in the back cover.
Thanks! I punch the holes in the back and attach the eyelets with a Crop-o-dile Big Bite tool.
Omg this is one is so beautiful! My 6 year old would love it.. I’m new to journaling and have gotten her into it with me. ❤❤
Thanks so much! Y'all have fun together.
Thank you we are! ❤
It’s so beautiful Becky! Well done! - Kathy
Thanks so much Kathy!
😍❤️ You have made another beautiful journal.
Thanks so much Carol!
Fabulous journal 😊
Thanks so much!
Absolutely stunning!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Thanks so much Ana!
Hi! Looks great! I have a similar video where I use readers digest covers and remove the spine, but yours is better! ❤
Thanks so much! I appreciate your support.
Thank you for sharing this process ❤❤❤😊😊 Can you use modpodge or gel medium to glue the doily on the page? Thank you 😊
Thanks Ana! A thin layer of matte gel medium wouldl work, but you don't want to get the paper too wet because it will buckle and bubble up when drying. Be sure and use matte because you wouldn't want the glossy stuff showing through the holes or smudging on top of the doiley. In my experience, ModPodge is just too wet to work well as those doilies are just so thin and delicate.
@@beckysjournals Thank you 😊 ❤️
How do you round the spine using a cereal box
I round the spine of one signature journal by scoring the area on both sides of the fold. Here's a video on how I do it czcams.com/video/HH26UFkspQU/video.htmlsi=TdJOadhtC-0eiS9X
Love the idea of backing the doilies and measuring with paper. Great video! ❤ Long time no see. I hope life is being good to you ❤
Thank so much! Life is good!
😍❤️ I like your idea of backing the doilies. TFS
Thanks so much Carol! Hope you have a great weekend.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks so much! 🌺🌻🌷
You are amazing ❤ I love all your journals ❤❤😊😊
Thanks so much Ana! Love you back!
I’m a newbie to your channel- glad it showed up on my feed one day! I enjoyed seeing the progression and changes in your style. Tfs!
Thanks so much! I appreciate your support!
I love all your journals! Please continue to show your great work!
Thanks so much Linda! I appreciate your support!
😍❤️ Wow! Love all the different types of journals you have done.
Thanks so much Carol! I appreciate your support!
Very lovely 🌹
Thanks so much Martha!
I love your videos and books! I have learned so much from you and your style.
Thanks so much! I appreciate your support and taking the time to let me know.
I love the covers and how you coordinate everything ❤❤❤😊😊
Thanks so much Ana! I'll get your new happy mail cover in the mail by Wednesday. Thanks so much for all your support.
@@beckysjournals Thank you so much for sharing your creations 😀❤️❤️
😍❤️ your covers look great! I like how the signatures are color coordinated. I love my Becky’s journal.
Thanks so much Carol! I appreciate your support!
I love your journals! It is very in line with my own style as far as materials and format. Looking forward to viewing more of your videos!
Thanks so much Deb! I appreciate your support!
Thank you for sharing this ❤😊 How else can you dry without putting in oven ? Thank you 😊
Hi Ana! Some people put their papers outside to dry with some kind of weight on them so they won't blow away. I have spread them out on a large table covered with plastic to air dry for a few days.
@@beckysjournals Thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing this ❤ 😊 Can you also use a three ring binder to do this ? Thank you 😊
Thanks Ana! I tried the three ring binders with the thin plastic page protector sheets for photos and the papers kept sliding out of them and flying all over the room every time I picked up the binder. So slippery! I don't have that problem with the thicker plastic stick on pockets.
@@beckysjournals I was thinking to use card stock paper, in the binder and stick those pockets like you have on the page. I have those pockets and you gave me an idea on how to use them 😀
That should work! Let me know how it turns out. I have extra binders around here. ❤❤❤
@beckysjournals ok..I will. 😀
Oh my gosh, such a beautifully decorated journal. Love the book. Adding the holes for extra decorating is genius. Thank you. Love you and God bless.
Thanks so much! I appreciate your support.
Becky, this video was very, very helpful. I have collected Little Golden books since my children were little. My oldest child is now 46 years old. I now read them to my grands. Still collecting when I find them at thrift stores. I can make tons of these journals. Do you have any ideas on how to use them as photo albums for those, like me, who don’t journal? I don’t know if you want to share this on here, but what do you charge for your Little Golden Book and Readers Digest journals? Right now I am working on an altered Readers Digest Book journal. Thank you for sharing your talents. You do make beautiful journals. Love you and God bless.
Thanks so much Debbie! Direct message me on IG at Becky's Journals or on FB at Rebecca Roesler (Becky Roesler) for pricing information.
I love the idea of color coordination. I've been inspired to try one. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much!
Such a creative idea! The fronts and backs are quite different too which is nice. You could glue two together if you really dislike some sides and that way only display the ones you do.I think brown can be a hard sell except in the Fall in this community of pink lovers 😅😅 Thanks for sharing your technique 😊
Thanks so much! I'm a pink lover too. These pages are made especially for four RD journals that have a lot of gold and orange on the covers.
@@beckysjournals oh I got that they were being especially made for those journals, smart move. I was having a little chuckle with the pink comment because I don't like pinks much, except on pink flowers, but it's everywhere 😅
Very cool technique!
Thanks so much Anne! Glad you like it.
😍❤️ very interesting paper dying technique. I’m working on a bee journal and some of those colors would work in my journal. TFS
Thanks so much Carol! I had fun with this one. ❤❤❤
Gorgeous journal Becky ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much! I appreciate your support.
Outstanding 👏 👏 ❤❤ I love the colors and embellishments. ❤😊
Thanks so much Virginia! I appreciate your support.
😍❤️ Another beautiful journal, Becky!
Thanks so much Carol!
I just found a few RD books, and am planning to try my hand at making a journal from them. I have limited vision, so sewing the signatures in can be a challenge. I love both the journals your showing in this video. They are beautiful. Happy Easter to you.
Thanks so much! I'm very farsighted and blind in one eye, so I know what you mean by that. Have fun.
You’re going to love it. I love using RD books for journals.
I’m really enjoying this series and the steps you take in creating your journals. I agree with Carol on signatures. Anymore than two and I feel burned out and don’t feel like finishing.
Thanks Darice! I appreciate your support.
😍❤️ both of your journals are looking fabulous. Thanks for the tips, too! Hope you have a Happy Easter.🐣
Thanks so much Carol! I appreciate your support.
