Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments. I've just posted a video to answer all your questions about those blending brushes for stenciling that I talked about in this video. :-) czcams.com/video/5qvM9AoJ-kM/video.html
Mrs Cog I just wanted to say a couple of things... first, thank you for sharing your gift with us ALL! And what a gift it is! Second, I’m starting out as a Junk Journal maker/ obsessed fan and I was wondering how long it takes you to make one of your journals? Like this one or the Shakespeare ones, I have made four for practice and given them as gifts as I’m a bit nervous about selling just yet. Ps. When someone asks what a Junk Journal is I tell them to watch one of your videos as I think they are the perfect example of the work, time and love that goes into making one of them. Again, TFS!
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly lost my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Merrick Scott instablaster ;)
@Keanu Dawson thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Keanu Dawson It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account!
Absolutely gorgeous. What fabulous photography journals. I love playing with the camera. The fabric you used for the cover. The lil girl taking the photo of her doll is a fabulous cover choice. The remnence is my favorite color.
I so love your work. Just amazing and lovely! Thank you so much for sharing!
These are just lovely! I get so much inspiration from your work! TFS!
Lol. Oops! I know I already commented somewhere about this.... but here I am again. I always find myself clicking on this vid over and over by accident. (Keeps ending up in my feed) BUUUUT I love it... so, here we go again!
Your work is so incredibly neat and well thought out and lovely. Your video on tea stained papers was the first Journaling video I watched. It was the first spark the lite my fiery love of journaling. Thank you or continuing to add fuel to the fire.
Beautiful and creative. Great theme 💕
I loved loved loved the mini journal😍😍
Fantastic to know about the blending brushes.Thank you!
Absolutely stunning! So inspiring! Thank you for your ideas. I am just beginning my journey through my children's photos... trying to collect them in a way they will want to look at them as a keepsake. Your work is lovely! Thanks again! Blessings! :)
These are amazing .. wow. The Tele is beautiful. TFS . 💜💜
These are lovely. Thanks for sharing.
These books are quite lovely, your workis so concise and beautiful, I get so inspired watching your flip throughs. Thanks for sharing these fantastic books with us! 💜
Oh darn, i so wanted one of these. My father was a photographer by trade. His mother was also a good photographer, it was a hobby for her. She had her own dark room at one point. I unfortunately did not inherit that gene. Your journals are so beautiful. You find the best “stuff”.
Just gorgeous ❤️
Beautiful work Elizabeth tyfs ❤️🥰🇨🇦❤️
Omg...LOST for words💜😘
Beautiful Journals, love the quote on the pages. That Sari Silk is stunning,
just catching up on videos - these are beautiful, I love the photos, snapshots in time. The dark sari silk is such a beautiful colour, so rich. And I really like the black and white photos with the beach blues :)
I assume that you have a typewriter and you are typing your quotes on the pages. I love the way they look. The other thing I wanted to ask about is what type of paper you’re using before you tee dye and coffee stain it. I like the crispiness that you get and there seems to be an opportunity to keep the book not so overwhelmingly bulging. I am just loving your journals.
I love these journals
They are really lovely x
...speechless almost everytime I see one of your journals...You possess a divine given talent!!!! Sitting here smiling with tears in my eyes...there's just something about you...I want to be like you when I grow up...lol Hugs and much love from North Carolina
Love,love,love these journals. They are fabulous. I think they are so beautiful.
Gorgeous journals, Liz! Thank you so much for sharing.❤️
I love the photos, stamping, the dangles, stenciling!! I love everything another masterpiece.......with my colors so fabulous!!!
Thank you dear Amelia! You are an inspiration. Big hugs! ❤️
Really beautiful work!
Beautiful and “ turquoise” with black&whit/sepia turned out is really elegant. 👏🏼
Mrs Cog. I love everything you make!!!
Beautiful journals (Donna)
The aqua covered photo journal is outstanding . Blew me away.
So lovely to see you this morning - I understand how busy life can be - just know you are missed. Your journals somehow capture everything you never miss a beat. This is such a treat to share your video.
So much thought, care, and skill going into each of these. They are so pretty. And your Etsy shop is incredible. Can’t wait to watch more of you.
I just finished my first Golden Book journal and I am so proud of myself. I only put 3 signatures in it but by the time I finished, the book will not close without the ties! I really love making journals and I love your journals. Thanks for sharing your awesome talent with us. Also as an FYI on those worlds greatest brushes, you can purchase makeup brushes just like them on Amazon at a lower price and they work amazingly.
These are beautiful. Such an unusual theme. Its lovely to see so much space for people to use
Beautiful, as always! Love love love the colors of Remnants!
Amelia is surely dancing in a turquoise sea😉👍😘❣️😍
A wonderful Luxembourgish photographer was Edward Steichen-the Family Of Man is. Wonderful exhibit here in our Clervaux Castle
One more art history lesson that I’m so ever grateful for. Thank you, Liz!!
Such beautiful work, Mrs. Cog! I believe they're all my favorites. 💖👍
And....they are all stunning!!! I keep picking mine up and just holding it!! LOL So happy to be your crafting friend, my dear!!
Such beautiful works of art. I am always enthralled with everything you do, Mrs Cog. I would love to own one of your beautiful journals one day.
Amazing! 🤩
Incredible work. As a photographer, I especially love the quotes. Your research is so thorough.
Beautiful collection !!! I love this journals !!! I have a little collection on vintage cameras. Thank you for always sharing with us your gorgeous creations!!!📷💕🤗
So beautiful!! I always get excited when u do these kind of flip thru's!!!
Beautiful! Love the mini, especially. The colours are go-jo-gorgeous.
Just lovely! The concept is fantastic and I love the photographs and quotes.
Wonderful creative work, Mrs. Cog! Thank you for sharing!
These are fabulous journals, Liz! You always come up with great ideas for themes!
Another great crop of journals! You really have a knack for adding depth to your books and tying all the details together.
I do believe that blue upholstery fabric is literally my couch! I’m sitting next to my couch and it’s the same pattern/texture! 🥰
Just lovely.... They are wonderful!!! 😍
Such incredible journals! You found a great use for the Norman Rockwell pages! Love these! TFS the inspiration and creativity, Liz!
How interesting! I learned a lot and enjoyed looking through them with you. A lot of work has gone into these beautiful journals. Great stuff!
This is perfect
Your Journals are amazing ❤💙❤ beautyful Picture in it 😍 a great sunday ☺

The journals are gorgeous as always! I LOVE the Remnants with the teal. How could anyone give this video a thumbs down???
I know right. People are just jealous.
@@pangeria12 My thoughts exactly
I love your work! Such beautiful journals.
These are all so beautiful but I LOVE the advance reserve journal. Your attention to detail always amazes and inspires me! Although I am just about to finish creating my very first junk journal, I am still saving up to, one day, be able to purchase or preorder one of your fabulous books 🌹x
Absolutely gorgeous! Tfs
Absolutely stunning!
Looking at Rockwell at 19:18...It seems he is drawing/ sketching using a projector that is allowing him to sketch a rough placement of his subject on a canvas. Very interesting!... I always loved his work!!
Positively stunning!
These are stunning!!
Absolutely gorgeous!!! So encouraging!! Hugs...k :)
Do you have a complete tutorial on making a photo journal?
Making the cover
Signatures
Binding the signatures
Start to finish?
Enjoyed
Oh my stars how gorgeous! Just adore your designs and finally bought that machine of yours too! Love it! Can you help me though I have sewn much material in past I'm new to paper sewing and am curious as to what tension setting I should be using? Even got my husband to flip the card over as you have and wow it's perfect! Thanks Liz for your professional advice 🎯💌👏
Thank you Jess! Congrats on the new machine and a set up that you like. While everyone has their own preferences for sewing paper, this is what I do. I start by setting the tension just over "0" and zig zag stitch onto index cards (not too thin, not too thick - goldilocks) to test, increase it up to less than "1" and see what your machine thinks. Usually I end up stitching most paper, as well as cotton onto paper, at 1/2. That is the tension set half way to "1". If you get a tangled mess on the bottom of your paper, back off the tension to just above "0" again and start the negotiating process over again with your sewing machine lol. You'll find it's sweet spot soon enough. I did a video about sewing paper a while back. That link is here. Enjoy your new set up! czcams.com/video/OrmhbaoLlR4/video.html
Mrs Cog thanks so much!!🤗
I absolutely love these journals!! I have watched many videos but you have inspired me to a whole new level. The simplicity of the pages with just written text is beautiful. I do however if you don’t mind me asking how to do get word to print on the bottom of the page or when you fold it to be at the bottom?
Thank you Dana. I print the quotes with a laser printer on regular printer paper (landscape oriented) in Word before tea dying the pages. :-)
Mrs Cog Thank You!! Your awesome! Have a beautiful day!
Wow love it I love your ties where do you fine all of your stuff everything you do is so so beautiful
Beautiful journal's, TFS. JuliAnn :)
BEAUTIFUL! But could you please share The name brand of the “fabulous” brushes you were raving about for stenciling, and where we can find them, please?
love love love your journals!!! Mrs. Cog may I ask where you get/purchase your lovely photographs? They are always so beautiful!! TFS
Thanks so much Roseanna. I collect images from many sources and like most in these journals, I offer them as digital downloads in my Etsy shop. :-) www.etsy.com/shop/MrsCogsCrafts
I like your journals. They leave room to actually journal! So many of the others I see are beautiful, but I get the feeling the point was in the making, not so much room for actual journaling.
I really like your work! These journals are charming. The quotes add so much. I've always been afraid to include quotes in my artwork, for fear of infringing on copyright.( Maybe it's okay to use short quotes; I dont know.) Am hoping you can shed some light on this for me, please.
Great video, have you ever used cabinet cards in your journals ?
I always love the way you include quotes in almost every page. How did you type the pages? Did you type the quotes in a traditional typewriter before you bind them into a signature? They are all beautiful
Thank you Leila. I print the quotes onto regular printer paper with a laser printer (Laser uses toner that doesn't run when wet like ink jet print.) before tea dyeing the paper. :-)
LOVE!
My granddaughter is going through for photography and I would love to make some thing that look like your journal am not to sure of the measurements I always seem that I can't put many photos without my book looking to bulging,I love your quote do you look them up I love the type look but I don't have a typewriter,I a crafter want a be but have no printer or major items but I am determined I dream to be able to create some things that might look like yours thank you for your inspiration
Gorgeous journals. What is a go Jo? Excuse my ignorance 😊
These are as gorgeous as ever. When you say blending brush do you mean one of those you put water in? Are you stenciling with ink? Thanks.
Thanks so much! I've just posted a video answering all the blending/stenciling questions. :-) czcams.com/video/5qvM9AoJ-kM/video.html
Liz...were those the Tim Holtz blending brushes that you used? The fade out is wonderful!!
Thanks so much Nancy! I've just posted a video answering all the blending/stenciling questions. :-) czcams.com/video/5qvM9AoJ-kM/video.html
Wonderful, as always! Do tell us about the blending brushes you’re raving about!
Thank you Lori! I'm glad you asked. The exact same magic blending brushes (which were very expensive on Amazon) were renamed and repackaged and sold for 1/4 of the cost in the cosmetics department on Amazon lol. My hubby Cog is the rocket scientist of finding the best price for all things crafty. :-) amzn.to/2tejxlx
@@MrsCog Ordered! I hope you have affiliate links.... and, All Hail, Cog!!!
Thanks SO much Lori. They are indeed affiliate links. After answering your question I went straight into the craftroom and made a short video showing what I know about these. Thank you for asking!! :-) czcams.com/video/5qvM9AoJ-kM/video.html
Be-YOU-tiful!!! Wow!!!! You are so beyond gifted and talented! I am new to your channel and new to even looking at these journals. I am curious what are they covered in? The material is beautiful but different than cotton.... So I am so curious now what it is made of? Anyone willing to settle my curiosity? LOL
Thank you so much. The materials I use most often to cover journals are upholstery fabrics or heavy weaves similar to tapestry. There are large rolls of them in the back of Joann Fabrics and at Hobby Lobby. Often one can find small portions in a remnants bin at these stores. :-)
@@MrsCog OMG YES!!!! That's where I have seen this kind of fabric before!!! LOL I knew it looked so familiar to me but couldn't place where I had seen it before!!! Thank you. That was one of those things that you know you know the answer but can't figure it out and it drives you nuts until someone jars your memory. So thanks again!!! Amazing work!!! I love your channel and your channel name too!!!! Your are so talented!!! I look forward to binge watching you this weekend, my kid's all are home with the influenza virus that is going around out here in Texas and I am the only one in my house not sick! So I am quarantining myself away from them as much as possible on my computer watching your videos armed with a can of Lysol. LOL
Sorry if someone has asked this...but what program do you use to print the text? So it is able to lay out like that? I'm in the process (only in my mind at the moment) of trying to create a nurse journal...strictly nurse/patient stories. I wouldn't mind using famous healthcare people's quotes (Nightingale, Breckenridge, Barton, etc)
Thanks in advance.
I use Word (landscape oriented) to print the text with a laser printer onto the paper before tea dyeing. :-)
Hello. Your journals are beautiful.
What type of paper do you use for you regular pages? Is it just regular paper that you have coffee or tea strained?
Thank you,
Jennifer
Thank you Jennifer! I use regular printer paper and tea dye it. The first few minutes of my video here shows the cover printing of packages for many of the types of paper I tea dye to use in my journals. :-) czcams.com/video/3kDRgZsAmy4/video.html
So beautiful! I'm always excited to watch your videos when I get notification that you have posted. You mention the stencil brush used for inking. Where can I buy that or is it just a regular paint stencil brush at the craft store?
Oh, I see you posted the information regarding the brushes in a previous comment. Thank you!
Thanks so much Alice! I've just posted a new video answering all the blending/stenciling questions. :-) czcams.com/video/5qvM9AoJ-kM/video.html
Did you have any problems with the handles of the brushes breaking when you were blending?
No because I mostly hold them around the brush part at the top. I've just posted a video answering all the blending/stenciling questions. :-) czcams.com/video/5qvM9AoJ-kM/video.html
Beautiful as always.... SOOO... you tease on Instagram... I guess that's why I miss things because I do not do Instagram...
However, in this video you teased us regarding stencil brushes.. Are you sharing that info?
And finally... what size were those journals and how many pages? Just curious...
Thank you for sharing your talents and for making this world a bit more beautiful...🌺
Thanks so much Susan! I've just posted a video answering all the blending/stenciling questions. :-) czcams.com/video/5qvM9AoJ-kM/video.html
These journals were 9 x 6 inches, 2 inch spine with about 260+ pages.
I would love to purchase one of your journals but by the time I see them there gone 😥.
Thank you Jane. I discuss in this video how to reserve a journal in advance if anyone wants one but hasn't been able to catch one in my Etsy. :-)
Beautiful! Have they all sold? TFS!
Thanks so much. They did sell right away. Thanks for checking. :-)
Absolutely beautiful!
