This book is lovely! I'm enjoying watching your process from start to finish. Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous pages again, my favourite this time was the pink with the lady, just gorgeous x
Thanks again Tina! ❤️
Each vignette works so beautifully with the other pages. Great progress!👍🥰❤️
Hello Barbara! I’m really enjoying this series. I love watching you collage and transform each page. Hope you are doing well and staying home often. Hugs💘
Thanks Michele! All good here and yes, I’m home most of the time. Thanks for checking on me! Stay safe! ❤️
Bonjour 😊
Toujours autant de plaisir à regarder 😊
Merci beaucoup.
It's so lovely so far ! Yay thank you for sharing 💜💜💜✌️✌️ Sherry
The journal is turning delightful 😍
Your ideas are inspirational. Very beautiful journal.
Oh, so gorgeous!! I'm so jealous of your stamp collection!!
Happy with this video, Barbara! Glad to be staying with you after the DEPHEMBEREMBER. TFS. Enjoy your week. 💕
This book is turning out really beautiful. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!
Your book pages are gorgeous Barbara! After seeing your stamp album I went to eBay and won one very similar, it said 30 stamps were included but when it arrived it had over 30 pages full of stamps all from Jersey!! It cost me €2 plus postage but I now have hundreds of stamps to use xxx💕
OMG Susie! That sounds like a jackpot!! 👍🏻😃. Good for you! ❤️
Barbara I could watch you all day create. Love your pages. TFS! ❤️
Love watching you putting the pages together. Thank you. 😊
My second time watching this.... I love it and you are SO GOOD at putting things together!
Thanks so much! ❤️
Mod podge instructions to it's user is to seal after applying mod podge ( I learned the hard way if you don't seal over time, your page will become very sticky ). If you really want it flat matte, use a matte clear acrylic spray several thin coats. & ensure to doesn't stick to your other page.
If you don't feel like going outdoor to spray use several coats of hairspray ( still be sure to have your room ventilated)☻☺ After spraying, dust it with cornstarch or baby powder. It's really easy to make a dust pouch with muslin if you want to make the dusting process easier. Sew 3 sides of 2 pieces of rectangular muslin together, use a funnel and put in baby powder or corn starch then sew the 4th side of the 2 pieces together and then pat your page with your homemade non stick pouch :) An alternative to the matte spray paint would be rubbing warm white or cream candle/crayon/wax over your page, this will seal it :) LOVE YOUR WORK!!! ♥♥
Thanks for all the great advice Vikki! 😃👍🏻❤️. I have used candle and baby powder before and both work great! The pouch is a fabulous idea! 🥰
Some beautiful pages
OMG, I love your color sorted stamps!
I love your videos and this altered book! Thank you Barbara! ♥️
Thank you Naira! I hope you will play along! 😃❤️
@@49dragonflies i am trying!!😬♥️
Wow, I am late to the party. like almost 3 years. Oh well, I am working this altered book with you now Barbara. It is a great chance to learn and try new styles. You are soooo much fun.
Aw thanks so much! Have fun with this! 😃❤️
Me too!!! I'm working on the pages!
Thank you for sharing your thought process. It is very worthwhile.
Totally enjoying this series!!
Really gorgeous pages.x
Loving this series 😍💙💐
Beautiful pages
You’re not a true crafter if you don’t get a little mess on yourself. I’m really enjoying watching this. I’m going to go to our old book store tomorrow and get started. You have a new subscriber in me.🤗
Thanks so much Judy! Welcome to my channel! Have fun at the book store! 😃
Beautiful! 😍
Very beautiful
Beautiful!
So beautiful ❤ I always go back & watch this. It’s so much fun lol Just the beautiful simplicity of it all & the majestic fun results are so beautiful . Thank you Love again. It’s a view from the past
Have you tried the clear gesso?I really like it. The brand I have is Liquitex. I makes my napkin and collage pages sealed and protected but not shiney. Thank you for your videos, I am so inspired to try your ideas, and appreciate your comments on your process.
Thanks you Carol! I have the same Liquitex gesso, but didn’t think of adding it! 😬
Really nice pages!
Just a tip. Dont brush with a sponge but dab dab. Use saran wrap and brayer to smooth.
Barbara! I am so grateful for your tutorial on altering a book into a journal. Applying your method of applying glue where the pages is torn out really help me to be more successful in creating a sturdy book the second time around.
I however love to collage on a colorful background. At this stage I am creating a blue themed journal. What fun!! Thank you so much.
Thanks so much Marina! I’m so happy my method was helpful! Enjoy your journal ! 😃
I like the way you explain why you make your decisions in putting the collages together.
Hi Barbara I use clear gesso matte and it is not shiny at all and is great as a layer over napkins or collage. I dont like mod podge because its shiny and sticky. However, If you rub the mod podge with some white wax, like a piece of candle it won't stick to other pages and it takes away some of the shiny. I'm new to journals but not collage 🙂❤
Thank you Laura. Good point, I should have thought of that! 😊
Very well done!! Enjoying how calm and smooth paced your presentation is. Thank you.
They closed our flea market permanently shortly after the pandemic hit. A lot of people would come from miles around. We were sad. 💜💜💜
Thanks Sally! That’s so sad! ❤️
I like the way you did the roses napkin and left it! It is so beautiful just as is👌
Love the pages, thanks for sharing. As always a pleasure to watch.🥰
que hermoso trabajo .las imágenes son toda adorables. me encantan son bellisimas todas . ⚘❤♻️
I didn’t read all the comments so it may already have been said but Andrea at ArtyMaze usually uses an emery board to lightly sand the mod podge to cut back on the shine a little. You just have to make sure it’s REALLY dry. Hope that is helpful.
Thank you for the tip, Tammy! 👍🏻😃❤️
You are amazing. I watch most of your videos when I'm having my break. I found it a very relaxing thing to do. thank you.
b 🦋
Thanks so much Brenda! ❤️
That is a beautiful napkin page. I always use them in my journals. This also has a lot of collaging, and I really love it. 😻
Another set of beautiful pages.
Hi Barbara, you are the queen of collage 😁 your book is beautiful, loved the napkin pages 💖 I've added my pockets so hoping to start decorating today. TYFS lots of love 💖🎶
Thank you so much Penny! ❤️ wishing you lot aid joy decorating your pages! 😊🥰
Beautiful! I love how this is coming together! It's so helpful to watch how you choose elements. TFS🤗
Hi Barbara another great video. Love watching you do your collage. We are on a month’s lockdown in the UK so got more time to make my altered book. Thanks for the inspiration. Take care. Xx
Thanks Jennifer! Stay safe and enjoy paper crafting! 😃❤️
Gorgeous pages! I love the napkin one!!!!
Greetings from the USA. Inspired by your videos. Keep up the good work.
If you add a little water to ordinary cheap glue it works really well over napkins, and it’s mat 😊
I am watching your "struggle" with the rose napkin. It looks lovely to me! Angela Allen uses sandpaper sometimes. It might take the shine off!!! Love your videos. xx
Thank you Jo! That sounds like a good idea, thanks for that! 👍🏻😃❤️
So enjoying your collaging.
My favourite was of. 6, love the blues and boot;)
Really enjoy watching this
Thanks for another great video, i watch first and start working on my pages after. It's so much fun doing this!
Thanks Lodi! So happy you are enjoying working in your book! 😃
After seeing you sort out your stamps I bought an old stamp album off eBay (UK) My stamps were in a box all mixed up. I had great fun sorting them out and got some beautiful ones with the album. Not much housework got done that day. Ha!!! Keep safe everyone. X
That’s awesome! So happy you had fun sorting your stamps! House chores can wait! 😃
Love this series and your style- I am learning so much and hope to create a lovely book following your videos
Thank you Jill! I do hope you give this a try! 😃❤️
Coming along really nicely.
Love the rose page as well,,
I like how u have 8 parts step by step and so easy to watch & follow u so 3 more after this one Tomo I will go buy a book and watch from part 1 to 8 & copy u
Thanks again! Good luck finding your book! 😃
@@49dragonflies thank u & yes I will go to the op shop they have so many books there & old ones 2
Love the rose page!
I love all your ideas! I’m going to use this tutorial to help me with my altered book 😁 Thx so much for sharing 💕
Thanks! Have fun with yours! ❤️
Stunning as always !
We are almost done 😃😂 well considering I started last week 🤩😊
Love this! You have convinced me to use a vintage gardening book 📚 for my next journal. I’ve been working on it and it’s so fun!
Thank you! That’s awesome! Have fun with that book! 😃❤️
I use clear matte medium to get rid of shine. Love your video. Beautiful pages!!
Barbara, try clear gesso to remove shine from your pages.
Thanks for the tip, not sure why I didn’t consider it! 🤔
Beautiful pages, love your work❤️
Totally beautiful
I'm doing an altered book too inspired by this. Thank you❤️
That’s awesome Maricon ! I hope you are having as much fun as I am! ☺️❤️
Super fun.. I am a little behind but I am doing mine, Thx Barbara for the inspiration :)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it's very inspiring.
Hi my dear friend😊!!
I just love how everything is going🤩😍.....l fancy that mine could also be like yours☺...your videos always have tons of creativity & inspiration😊❤ YOU ARE MAGICAL!💙
Thank you Shimah, my friend! 😊
I trust you are having fun with your journal as well! 😃
I cannot wait to see how you will journal in this!
Actually I will be making journaling cards for the pockets 😊
I'm following your altered book and loving it! I hope to make one soon. The only question on my mind is why don't you make extra pockets on some of the pages you decorate? Thank you so much for sharing. ❤🙏👍
Wait for the next video 😃
This is looking so good! Great questions! I was wondering about the 8 pages too.
You are a life saver!!! I had a very stressful day at school Friday and where did I turn?.....of course to my altered book. I did quite a few collages and felt SO much better!!! Thank you Barbara! I heard somewhere to put corn starch on top of mod podge pages to keep them from sticking to the next page and it dulls it down some too.
Thank you Marybeth! Working in a journal is truly therapeutic! Thanks for the corn starch tip! 😊❤️
I use Matte Medium (from Liquitex) for napkins. It is the best I ever used for it, no wrinkles, no tearing apart, no shine.
Thanks for the tip! 👍🏻😃❤️
ILOVE THIS! I just made my first Junk Journal video last week!. I'm already starting on the next one. I will use your video on how to edit for this one. ( I didn't discover it until I did a whole lot of video watching !). Thank you for your help! I look forward to being part of the JJ community!! If I'm allowed in!!!!
Thank you Johanne! Congratulations on making your first video and welcome to the junk journal CZcams creator community! 😃❤️. It’s a brave thing to do! 👍🏻☺️. Good luck with your channel! I will go have a look as soon as I can! 😊
Love it 🤩🤩🤩
Hola! Soy nueva aquí me encanta demasiado! Está quedando precioso!😍😍😍😍😍
I started watching this series again, cuz I just love your work. Do you ever put anything in the pockets? Do you ever make any of these albums for photos?
Thank you! I haven’t so far! I’m. It very good at adding photos to journals for some reason…🤔
I only use my fingers to make those gesso cloud effects on the page to soften.
Oh I've never thought to save those yellow labels on Amazon parcels
I also just realized it! 😃
me either, I've been removing and tossing. yikes!
Hi Barbara.
Thanks for another great video. An altered book is definitely on my future project list. I have purchased stamps from the Weeds and Wishes Store on Etsy. She has good prices and is a reliable seller.
Thanks Pat! Great tip concerning the Etsy store! 😃👍🏻
Ich liebe dieses Projekt! 😍 Es wird immer schöner 👍 Das nächste Mal könntest du eventuell klares Gesso nutzen, wenn dir alles gefällt und es nur etwas glänzt 🍀. Ich mag es auch nicht, wenn etwas glänzt 🙈.
LG Nicole K.
Danke liebe Nicole! ❤️
I think a mistake I made so far was not trimming the rugged ripped leftovers from ripping out the pages. Exciting to add to it though. Having fun
Happy to hear you are having fun! ❤️😃
i vote for puppy dogs!
Hi Barbara: Are you going to finish this book on video? I have worked on a book from the beginning and shamefully, copying every page I could and have been having so much fun. I don't want to do pages without you if you are finishing your book with other pagers and ephemera?
Aw, that’s so sweet! I am doing most of it on video. I will be adding lace and sentiments soon. I’m sure you will be able to follow. ❤️
I have a book from the attorneys office they replaced and gave me. I’m going to use black and white photos from my child hood and see what I can come up with!
That’s sounds amazing! I’m sure it will be so much fun to create! 😃👍🏻❤️
I love what you are doing. Your thought process is so helpful. What will you do with your altered book once it is complete?
Thanks! Either I might sell it or keep it as inspiration 😊
@@49dragonflies it’s so lovely and I’m only at video #5. I am at my home in Malta and need to find second hand stores for an old book. I live in Canada most of the year where there are a lot of thrifting options. I would like to try my hand at an altered book while in Europe. I’m not so familiar with how thrifting occurs here. Any thoughts for access to ephemera etc in Europe?
@@elizabethtanti7884 I’m happy you are enjoying this series! Maybe this video will help: czcams.com/video/f8Q9Fm4JgOk/video.html
LOVEEVERYTHING ABOUT THE ALTERED BOOK jj, i AM CURIOS WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR STAMPS ORGANIZED BOOK, JUST LOVE IT!!!
Thanks! That’s from the local flea market.
Love your pages they are all so beautiful. Question for you, about your scrap boxes how do you organize them, I have so much of scraps and can’t find a constructive way to organize. Help please
Thanks Teresita! I have mine in a large clear square box meant for 12x12 card stock. It works for me.
I just got that glue and love it! I remember you saying you refill w watered down tacky glue? How much watering down?
Just a few drops 😊
I have watched another crafter sand her work after she applies mod podge.......that gets rid of the shine!
I have not tried that, thanks for the tip! 👍🏻😊
Barbara, what program do you use to edit your videos? You do a fabulous job!!!
Thanks Jan! I use iMovie, which comes for free with a Mac. Not sure that’s helpful 😬
😍😍🥰
Hi! What kind of glue are you using to put on all the scraps of paper on page 46 (I think!)?
It’s Art Glitter Glue
@@49dragonflies Thank you 🙂
