This video features my favorite elements and techniques. I hope there are a few ideas here for your own journals. Thanks for spending time with me and I hope you have fun crafting!

You always make everything look so lovely. I love how organized your are and have things prepped ahead of time. Great explaining also. I wish my clusters and layers would look this nice. I guess I just need more practice. ☺♥
Well, I think your clusters and layers look very nice! Thank you for the encouragement!
@@BeAgainBooks My pleasure and thank you for the encouragement also. I have some karft sticky paper in my collection of papers so I'm thinking of trying to design some of my own labels ...some day.... some year ♥
Another great video. Thank you so much, Kathleen.

Wonderful ideas. They are all so pretty!
Thank you Sheryl! I’m always so happy to see your comments!
So many pretty ideas. Thank you! Hugs, treen 💕💕💕
Thank you! Hugs to you also!
You've no idea how much this, and the previous video, have helped me - thank you SO much! I've often wondered why my projects never look 'right' and your explaining how to go about things with layers and lace etc , showed me where I'm going wrong! I tend to favour a more gothic theme, but that's really just a difference in colour palette and ephemera choices to yours. The basics are the same and I shall be using your techniques in my next journal, which I'm now really excited to begin!
Oh I am so pleased to have helped you think further about some of these things! The basics really are the same - have fun with your project Heather. Thanks so much for watching.
I just love all of the little bits of lace and ribbon and buttons that come together in sweet charms, dangles, and embellishments. Little things mean a lot. (remember that old song??) Your reference to the note paper with the mathematical calculations on it reminded me of how my grandpa used to do long division in the margins of the TV Guide. I think he just did it to keep his mind sharp. I would love to have some of those pages to include in a journal, but I'm sure they have all gone away many years ago. I'm happy to have the memory still.
As always, I enjoyed your video. Loving what you're making for the journal, and I'm looking forward to the next two videos. Thanks a bunch, Kathleen.
Thank you Linda! You always make me smile! 😀
Thank you, so inspiring. 🙂
I’m glad Bront! Thanks very much!
Really enjoying this Kathleen as someone new to your channel. Thank you for sharing.
Welcome! I’m so glad you are here. I appreciate your time.
Very pretty. I like making my ephemera as I go along. I am not a mass making type person. I have to make the ephemera to match the journal. You came up with some wonderful ideas. Shabby is my favorite look to make and enjoy. I can’t wait until I see your other videos. You make it so inspiring. 😁
Thank you so much - I appreciate that! I also don’t do much mass making, unless it is foundation pieces. I also like to make as I go.
P.S. I love that jar of buttons ♥♥♥
Thanks Joan - that took me a long time to collect, haha.
Thanks! 💜💜💜
Thank you Mara!
Lovely video ❤ thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching Sioned! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome as always
Thanks so much Nana!
Love it!
So glad Dawn! Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much Karen!
I love this series and your style. Thank you! I like the look of embossing. What do you use to achieve that look?
Thanks very much Betty! I’ve always loved embossing. I used to use a stencil of some sort and hold it, with a piece of paper, up to the window, pressing a rounded stylus around the edges of the stencil to “push” the paper into the indentations of the stencil. I still do that sometimes, but I now am the happiest owner of an embossing/die cut machine and several plastic embossing folders that do that hard work for me, haha. I have a Sizzix Big Shot and the embossed image in this video is a Tim Holtz 3D impressions folder. I just put the paper into the folder and run it through the rollers of the machine. So easy and really beautiful. Thanks for watching!
Oh so helpful to know an inexpensive way to emboss. I’ll put the machine on a wish list. As a beginner, it’s pretty long! Continuing success in your videos.
@@bettystychno5723 haha - oh I imagine the list is long. If I were starting from scratch, I would focus on finding interesting and lovely papers for the signatures and then interesting and lovely pieces of ephemera. I’m curious what is at the top of your list? Top three things you wanted first?
This is a good tutorial and explication of the shabby style. But I don't understand why you need to use French labels as opposed to any other language. Maybe you can explain that in an upcoming video, What is so special about French stuff.
There is nothing that you have to use Suzanne. I mention French stuff because it is so popularly used, so frequently used, that it has become part of the Shabby Chic “style.” You can certainly do Shabby Chic without French labels. There are so many motifs to choose from and many styles of script that can be used. But it’s just seen so often in the style, that it becomes kind of descriptive. You may have heard of French Country as a style and it has become quite popular here in the USA as a kind of analog to the Farmhouse style and Rustic/Rural style. Why people are so drawn to French stuff is also a mystery to me, but be assured you can do it with your own choices.

Thanks very much Cheri!

Morning Bonnie! Thanks for stopping by!
