Your favorites were my favorites as well; you gotta love happy accidents.🙂
It’s one of my favorite parts of working with a gel plate! Thank you for the comment. 💕💕
I like a combination of music and narrative VoiceOver, mostly voiceover of the artists thoughts.
Thank you for your feedback!
Loved this. No need for music unless jazz.😻
Thank you, Linda! I appreciate your feedback. 💕💕
Super!!
Thank you!
I like hearing the artist
Thanks for the feedback! 💕💕
Loved the pulls.
Thank you! 💕
I am absolutely droooooooling over these!
Well, thanks! 😊 I appreciate your kind comment, Barbara! 💕
Love it
Thank you for your comment. 💕
I definitely love your comments and reactions. Some more real time pulls would be nice, too! Also, the colors of the particular brands would help me. thanks
Thanks, Carolyn! I appreciate your kind feedback. 💕💕💕
I enjoy a mix of real time and sped up video. And I enjoy your commentary. 🙂
Thanks for your feedback. Glad you enjoy it! 💕💕
I loved watching you work. I like a mixture fast and real time. And I love hearing your thoughts. So much more interesting. I subscribed too!
Thanks so much, Cheryl!
I like a mixture too but would like a little more real time in the mix
This is fantastic! Thanks
Glad you like it! 💕
Thank you, finally someone told about which paper can be used ☺️🙏
Love that my videos are helpful. Thanks for commenting. 💗
When I come across craft videos that are all/mostly all music and no talking, I immediately leave and never go back. I want to hear the artist.
I enjoy hearing from the artist as well. Thank you, Susan!
Combo fast and real time. Definitely want your thoughts throughout
Thanks for the feedback, Suzy! 💕💕
I like to hear the you Jennifer ..It's very nice and informative .
Thank you. 🙏
I really enjoyed your video. Love seeing the progress and appreciate the commentary.
Thank you for commenting. 💗💗
Loved your papers and would like to see what you have created with them.
Thank you! I’ll be posting more videos this year!
love everything you did
Thanks for your nice comment, Judy!
I enjoyed this video with your comments. I suppose music would be nice but the comments are helpful.
Thanks for your comment, Minna. 💕💕💕
I store my gel plates on a piece of acrylic and then put them on a wire shelf nothing on top. I have had them for 8 years and it works like a charm. I have 5 plates. And I very seldom clean them because I love lifitng the old grungy layers. Your prints were fantastic and your favs were also mine.
Where did you get the pieces of acrylic? I’m definitely leaning towards doing the same thing. Looks like the best way to go! I also like grunge layers!!!
@@jennifertobinart AT Home Depot. They have some cut or you can have them cut them to the size of the plate.
dust coming on top?
I love how you show all the layers, aren’t afraid of showing the ones you are not crazy about. Your chat is nice, you have a peaceful voice. Thank you!
Thanks, Dede! I appreciate your feedback. 💕💕
Beautiful! Love the children's book pages as substrates. Thanks for sharing. I'm hooked!
Thanks for your kind comment!
So fantastic!! I love it👍
Thank you for your kind comment! 💕
Just getting interested in printing and collage so am watching a lot of different videos. Thanks so much I learned a lot!
Thanks for the comment! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😍
I have just seen your demonstration and although it was posted a year ago, I’ve learnt so much - mesmerised and watching it at 3.00 in the morning. Thank you so much.💐
Thanks for taking the time to comment! It means so much that you learned a lot and enjoyed this video. 💕💕
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🎨
Thank you!
this would be amazing patterns for fabrics
Thanks!! I’m going to scan them in before I start ripping them up. Thanks for the reminder! 💕💕
1st time seeing you! I loved this! And the way you described everything!! I personally love the voice overs just my opinion 💗
Thanks for the feedback! Happy you’re here. 💕
Thank you for showing me how to store a gel plate. I have just bought a gel plate & haven't used it yet but I didn't know about storing it between 2 pieces of paper. You have saved me from an expensive mistake! I really enjoyed your video showing the results from using different papers. I want to try these techniqueson mu gel plate soon. I am also going to use these techniques for eco printing for the first time on paper on a course on Monday. It will be fun to compare the results.
Thanks for your kind post! I’m glad you’ve learned something new today! I also just recently posted a video for beginners if that interests you. Have fun getting started! czcams.com/video/Hm52jjEUp4E/video.html
Absolutely love how they all turned out. I could sit and watch you gel print all day! lol. New subbie here from Australia 😊💚
Awww thanks so much for letting me know! I have 2 more videos to post soon, I just need to finish the editing. 🥰🥰 I love Australia! I honeymooned there and can’t wait to visit again someday!
Always interesting to see how each person creates their artwork! Very unique prints.
Thanks, Wanda! I love watching others create as well. 💕💕
Beautiful papers you made. This is all new to me and I can't wait to get started. :-)
That’s so exciting, Janet! Welcome to the club 🤣 I have an intro video as well, if that’s helpful to you. Thanks for your comment! 💕 czcams.com/video/Hm52jjEUp4E/video.htmlsi=WA5vsrQ0S2QVmwVq
Thank you so much Jennifer, I really really enjoyed watching you creating on the Gelli Plate. I really really love ❤️ this video, and I really really love ❤️ the format you used. The print’s are Stunning and gorgeous too. And I’ve subscribed and given you a thumb’s up too. Please stay safe and well too
So kind. 💕 And thanks for taking the time to leave me that feedback. Have a wonderful day!
Real Time
I prefer that too. 💕
You really had an exceptional showing! Nothing to do with a Gelli is ever predictable. Hugs ❤️❤️❤️
That’s the truth! 💕💕
Looking forward to seeing how you use them. The colours are lovely
Thank you, April! 💕💕
Congrats on the big plate, I hope mine won't be far away too. BOTH PLEASE! Great video presentation. I preferr comments, tips, etc. Not everyones taste in music is same & can be a total distract.
Thanks for asking.
I agree about the music. It can be really distracting if not edited carefully. Thanks for the kind comment. Have fun with the giant plate!
The turquoise and green on watercolor paper has a face in the lower right. Very cool art!
Ha! I need to go look for that! 😍😍
I love these so so much! These should be framed and on the wall as they are that beautiful 🌹 A white gallery wall with these framed ⭐️ I love abstract and yes please do more of your process and talking through your thoughts…. I could listen to you all day 🌸 xxx
This comment made my day! Thank you so much! I have another video in the works already 🥰🥰
Oh wow really!! I have subscribed to you so can’t wait to see it 🌸 Really good video! It motivated me to try .. thank you 🙏
I just found your channel and really enjoyed it. Beautiful prints and fun session. I do like to hear your thoughts. But music is nice sometimes too. Either is fine
Thanks for your feedback! Glad you’re enjoying my videos. 💕💕
Love the way the tissue paper picked up paint! I’ve never gel printed before!
I’m obsessed with it! It’s like all I want to do lately! 🤣🤣 And I think I want to collage these to create landscape paintings. We’ll see what happens!!
I like your style.
Thank you! 💗💗
Explained very well, and fantastic ideas
Thank you, Brenda! 💕💕
Loving these videos. New to gel plate and am learning so much. Love the patterning.
Yay! It’s so much fun! Thanks for the comment. 💕
Just found your channel. I really like your combination of sped up video and real time. And definitely like to hear a voice over as I'm usually doing dinner etc while I watch as I don't have time to sit and watch videos. Tfs x
I’m so glad you enjoy my videos. Thanks for the feedback! 💕💕
TIP, when using a makeshift stamp, such as the square textured lines, make a tab on the back with tape. This makes it less messy and easier to control.
Great tip!!! Thank you for sharing!
Jennifer.....I have really enjoyed watching your videos. I just "found" you this week and really appreciate your easy going manner and dialogue. You pack a lot of info into a small amount of time and I like the mixture of real time and fast as well as seeing your "mess ups". Just wish you posted more often!!! Thanks!!!!!
Thank you so much! This means a lot. 💕💕 I plan on posting more often. Especially now that I can tell there is interest in what I share. So I appreciate the feedback. Have a fabulous weekend!
Enjoyed this video. I like to hear your thoughts as you print. And like a mixture of sped up and slowed down demo videos!
Thank you for your feedback, Kari! Glad you enjoyed it. 💕💕
Love watching your techniques. After I watched one of your other videos last weekend I hopped on Stencil Girl and ordered a bunch of stencils and then joined the monthly club. LOL They have great stuff!
I love their stuff!!! Glad you enjoyed it!
So much fun! Thank you for sharing ☮️🌸
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for commenting. 💕💕
I live my giant plate. I print on all sorts of paper but like bristol vellum the best. Thin enough to cut/tear for collage, but also a sturdy substrate. You freaked me out using the heat tool !
I love using bristol as well! I like using that and watercolor paper for the landscape pieces I make.
I really love your prints, and how you ‘rescue’ the less successful ones. Obviously, by now you have a stash of truly gorgeous prints, but - what do you do with them? I don’t see any collages on your channel and I’d love to see where these end up.
Hello! I’m so glad you enjoy my prints. I feel like some of them can stand alone as finished pieces of art work, so I’m hesitant to rip them up for collage. Then other will be used in collage. My most recent project should post soon and you can see me use some of these papers in that video. Stay tuned!
I really enjoyed this gelli printing video!! Beautiful layering- Definitely subscribed! I like a mixture of speeds & I love artist commentary to learn tips & techniques. I could watch gel printing all day every day☺️ and I would love to see more of your experiments on that big plate- mine is 9x12 but I’ll end up going bigger once I can afford it!! I’ve gotten through the beginners learning curve with gel printing, but I’m always searching for inspiration before I sit down for a session. Would love advice on color choices, layering, grungy look, making gel prints for abstract/ intuitive collage, ⭐️how to choose from all of the colors & media I have!!- I get caught up in perfectionism paralysis which can really kill a gel printing session! I’m trying to PLAY more and let loose rather than aiming to make perfect prints. Thank you so much!💖
Thanks for your comment, Natalie! I’m glad you enjoyed this! I will try to touch on some of those points you discussed in my future videos. 💕 I’ve definitely dealt with being paralyzed in my art practice before and the only thing that ever helps me is just showing up! Allow yourself to play and experiment. Make a mess. Use the paints!! You will learn so much through your own exploration. 🥰 As for color, sometimes it helps me to start the session with a limited palette. I’ll talk more on that in my next gel plate video that I just recorded yesterday. Stay tuned!
Hi there, Jennifer! I’m just now getting into gel printing, buying supplies & looking around for random things to use for design. Haven’t tried anything yet! I’m a longtime card maker, & now make journals, so I have a lot of stencils & various acrylics from different projects, lots of inks & stamps, well, in general lots of stuff!! I was worried that you were wasting that gold paint combination by putting it on first, I thought it would disappear! But you got a lot of mileage out of it!! I like watching real time, I want to see every blob of paint, every uh-oh & every woohoo! That helps me to learn by example & also to realize that no one is perfect, we all make mistakes! And that you don’t have to crumple it up & throw it away, artists are very good with creative solutions, but, at least for me, I need to be taught the solutions in real time!! I like listening to you talk, but I don’t think it needs to be non-stop chatter. Thank you for asking! I was just looking on Amazon earlier today & saw this gel plate & thought that it seemed like a good size to have, now I know it is!! Thank you! I “liked” you & added my name to your subscriber list! See you next time!!
Just reading this comment as well! Thanks again for your feedback, Erica! Happy you’re here and I hope you LOVE experimenting with this larger size gel plate. It’s one of my favorite things 😍
Even though I've been playing with the gel plate for awhile, I learned a lot from you. You have inspired me to go after the grunge! Definitely prefer your comments to music. Your voice is very calming, which always makes the learning process more pleasant. I think you have a good combination of speeds. Look forward to all the videos you share in the future!
I’m so glad you were able to learn something new and walk away inspired to create in a new way! That’s the best feeling and why I love CZcams. I appreciate your comment! Have a great day! 💕💕
@@jennifertobinart You too!
i love the mix of both real & fast. I really enjoy hearing your thoughts more than the music, and I'm an avid music lover
Thanks so much, Jeanette! I appreciate the feedback. 💕
@@jennifertobinart i appreciate you sharing your talent with me.😍😁 can't wait for the next video
I thoroughly enjoyed this video - great techniques and it sparked more imagination on my part. Loved the color combinations, as well as the unusual tools utilized.
Yes, I liked listening to your voice-overs and the speeding up of the video when appropriate... made it even more interesting. Your voice is MOST pleasant and informative. I learned a lot!
Thank you! (:
Thanks so much, Deborah! This means a lot and I appreciate the feedback.
Beautiful prints!
Thank you!
I enjoyed your video so much - I have just treated myself to the 12x14 after having lived with the 8x10 and the 5x7! (seems we all do the same thing - buy small and the slowly upgrade to the bigger sizes!) I have yet to crack it out of the packaging - but I'm hoping I will this weekend!
I think that’s the most common progression as well. I hope you get to try it this weekend! Might be a little spotty when you first use it, but that goes away. Have fun!
I actually have known about your channel by CZcams recommendation, and I'm very excited about it and so happy for this, I love this video and I'm planning to be back as soon as possible to watch the other videos that you've mentioned in this one. I also have shared it on my Pinterest page too and subscribed to your channel and for sure I'll recommend it to anyone else among my friends who are interested in gel printing. Thanks for sharing your artwork tutorial with us
This is so kind of you! Thank you for sharing my video with so many and for taking the time to comment. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed my videos. 💕💕💕
@@jennifertobinart 🙏🙏👍
What a great idea to use maps! HEY! Hi2 about National Geographic pages?! …….off to the thrift store I go!
Yes, I have lots of those too! I’ll print on anything! 😍😍
I really enjoyed watching you, love how your prints turned out. I will try to use some watercolor paper next. Have never done that.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it 💕💕
Lovely vid! One of the issues with printing on the kiddie books... They're normally varnish-coated. So the paint probably can't stick properly.
Might be worthwhile rubbing a page down with acetone, and see if that removes the varnish.
Failing that, maybe try scuffing the surface lightly with a scotch scouring pad before printing. It might create a surface the paint can stick to.
Something else to try is to use a brush or brayer to lay down a layer of matt medium on the page. That'll preserve the picture, and will offer a surface for the paint to stick to. That's only if the matt medium sticks to the page though.
I hope one of these ideas works.
Such great ideas! Maybe I should try all of them and compare. 😜
Thanks for you detailed comment!
Absolute pleasure! Hope at least ONE works!
New subscriber and enjoyed your process. I stored my first gel plate with the plastic and ended up with the spots. Lesson learned. You had some beautiful prints. Need to get my plate out today and play.
Oh no, I hate that you had to learn that lesson with your first gel plate! Thanks for subscribing and hope you enjoyed making some art today! 💕💕
@@jennifertobinart I was just thinking, I could probably cut my old plate up into smaller pieces. Nothing to lose at this point.
Use the hairdryer on the cool setting. It works well enough. 😊
Cool, thanks!
Got an 8 by 10 for Christmas. I have a feeling I’m going to want that larger size! Thanks for the storage tip! I wonder if wax paper would work for storage as well? New subbing from Atlanta. Love your art and ideas! - Messy Mendy 👍🖌🙏🏻
Eeeeeek, what a wonderful Christmas gift!!! Is that your first gel plate? I had only had 6x6 until now and the 12x14” is SO MUCH FUN!! Not sure about wax paper. Most importantly, it needs to stay flat and avoid anything on it that will cause air bubbles. I might start setting mine in flat plastic bins with a lid. Then it will be faster set up and clean up. Happy creating! 💕💕
Hola!!
Ya tienes otra suscriptora 😊
Me ha gustado mucho como te ha quedado, el fondo guapísimo y la libreta nada que ver, ha quedado espectacular!!!
Me interesa mucho saber cómo haces las tintas en spray caseras y los sellos con goma eva.
Muchas gracias y nos vemos en el próximo vídeo
Un abrazo!!💗
I like the mixture of thoughts of process, the colors u r mixing, various video speeds as is appropriate. This one was perfect. I am new to your channel and will be binge watching AFTER I go play on my gelll plate.! As for music, I can tell you that if I don’t like the music I sometimes just leave the video. If the video is sped up too much it makes me dizzy. Thanks for asking. Can’t wait to see more of what you have to demo! 😀❤️
I can really relate about the sped up videos and certain music! And I personally prefer to hear from the artist and learn more about the process they are sharing. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and leaving me feedback. It’s helpful! And I hope you had fun creating after watching my video! 💕💕💕
@@jennifertobinart I just found you and subscribed to your channel and I want to say that I totally agree with Kathy Seek and you about the sped up videos and music! This one is just perfect and I hope you'll be around for a long time! Thanks for sharing your passion!
@@2456celine Thanks, Celine! This comment made my day and I appreciate you taking the time to tell me. 💕
New subscriber… not sure how I found you but happy that I did! I was thinking what will she do with all of that… I’m so glad you mentioned that at the end… would love a video on ideas for what you do next. Also… mixture of real-time and sped up is great. I don’t mind a little bit of music in a video but much prefer the artists thoughts. I enjoyed how you put some of the real time clips in there with your thoughts and gelli plate song!
haha that gelli plate song cracks me up! Glad you enjoyed the video. Hoping to have my next gel plate video up on Friday. Then my next painting series will be the pieces I'm creating with these papers! But I love the idea of making a video showing multiple ideas of what to do next. I'll do that! Thanks for the great feedback, Rachel!

Damn girl, you should an an academy award. That was the best video and I love the papers that you ended up with and if you have any scraps, I want you to send them to me. Just joking. I’m curious as to where you live, and if you offer classes. Again, great video.
Hahaha. That made my day! I have seriously thought about selling packs of my papers 😍😍 I am in Arkansas, USA. I don’t currently have any in-person courses scheduled, but I have 2 online courses if you’re interested: www.jennifertobinart.com/courses Thanks! 💕💕
Ummmm just my 3¢...... BUT.... Like many others have said I enjoyed the mixture you had in this video ( how you edited it).
Also wanted to mention something about the board books or options. Because they usually have a shinny coating on them the paint doesn't usually transfer or stay adhered well if at all .
So I usually sand them first both heavy and lightly depending on what you prefer. To give the gesso a better surface to grip too. Then I gesso the pages more or less to your liking. But that just then gives the paint a great surface to stick to as well when you get to that point .
And lastly there is the option to use a clear gesso if you want the images in the book to look like they do originally before you put any paint or prints on them.
I think you get results your more happy with because if the tooth the gesso will give to the pages for the paint to adhere too.
I could share my normal process and steps I use for kids board books if you happen to see this and are interested in knowing that .
Thanks for making the video and showing your process and sharing it with all of us !!
Loooove the idea of clear gesso. I’ll use that bc I usually like when a bit of the old image shows through. Thanks for sharing that with me and feel free to share anything else. I enjoy discussing the process!
Beautiful work!!! I like real time video with your thoughts. I personally don't like music with videos.
Thank you, Randi. And I appreciate the feedback!
I like to hear your thoughts because that is part of the process, why you chose colors, what you like and don’t and how to correct as you go. Thanks your prints are beautiful. Now what do you do with all of them?
Thanks so much, Meg! So many choices on what to do… right now I’m using them in collage and mixed media pieces. I haven’t posted videos yet, but hope to soon! Or some of my recent work can be seen on my Instagram… @jennifertobinart 💕💕
Hi Jennifer, I can see you use the best materials- it gets expensive- can you tell us if you have found any cheap alternatives, like cheap
acrylic or paper you can recommend? Thank you
Hi Anna, sorry for the delayed reply. I think I will do a video about this because it’s a great idea and I can discuss in more detail. I would start with acrylic craft paints, I have some of those as well. And feel free to start with regular white copy paper. I will print on anything!! Junk mail, cardboard, packing paper. Etc.
One main reason I use higher quality materials is because I often have the goal of making finished layered pieces of artwork to sell. 😍
Thanks for your comment!
I just came across your video and loved it. Subscribed already and want to see more.
I like a mix of voice over and live commentary as the artist's thought process is often very interesting. I really don't like sped up footage with jingly music!🤣
Do you have details of your online course?
Thanks for subscribing & for the feedback, Gina! Yes, I have my course info on my website www.jennifertobinart.com/courses (if this link doesn’t work, I have a link in the description of this video.)
Keep the plastic "liner " to create a stencil 👍
Yes! Great idea.
Your painting is beautiful I do have a question. Why do you use your hear gun after some of them?
I'm just impatient sometimes when it comes to dry time! ;). If I don't want two paints to mix together while wet, then I need the first color to dry and then the second color can layer on top of it. So I'll just quickly zap it with the heat to help speed that up!
Love these patterns, colors and layers! Thank you.
When you say that the plastic sheets cause bubbles, how does that happen?
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed this. 💕💕 It’s because air is getting trapped in there. It’s like we can’t every get the plastic perfectly flat on there again. So air will sneak under there and over time the outline of the air bubble will leave marks on the gel plate. Then those lines show in your prints!
@@jennifertobinart Thanks! Helps to know. That's what I was doing.
Good video. I do have a question. Doesn’t the paper storage bpull the oils out of the gel plate? That is what I understand from other artists videos.
Great question! I see a lot of different options for clean up & storage. So, I’m always trying different things. I can definitely see oil pulled up on the papers when I remove it. But, I honestly don’t worry about it & I personally always add a layer of baby oil during the cleaning process and then add the paper. So I feel like I’m also adding oil to hopefully help in the process. For the plates that I use often, I leave them out of their shells all together. But when I need to store them for awhile, I do the baby oil and cleaning, line with paper, and store in the shell. Hope that helps!
What is that first green you used? It is heavenly!
Golden fluid acrylics, green gold! It is one of my favorites!!! 😍😍😍
What stencil are you using at 10:52? The small stencil with oval shapes.
That one is from StencilGirl and I got it while subscribed to Stencil Club. 💕💕
I just puRCHASED THE BIG plate last week, giving it a go tomorrow actually. Where did you find the large brayer? And what size is it please?
So exciting!! I bet you’ll have so much fun! Which minute marker is the brayer you’re asking about? If it’s really large, I think it’s from the hardware store for wallpapering. 🤣
Can I ask you a quick question? In regards to stencils…I’ve bought some from various people/companies online. If I was to use a purchased stencil on a piece of work that I eventually end up selling…do I have to mention somewhere on the project (back of the frame or mat) who the stencil was created by? You know…a copyright situation… I know that if you use someone’s published picture (like making collage out of napkins which the design/images are copyrighted) I think the rule is you have to alter it by at least 60% before you can take credit and not be in trouble by the original artist.
This is why I love using @stencilgirl stencils. If you read on their website under FAQ it explains their Angel Policy. Each company will have different rules, so it’s important to look into. GREAT question! 💕
more ta!k, !ess music for me!
Thank you for sharing! 💕💕
Loved your video just as it was today. I think it's your video and choice ... but since you asked I prefer no music if there is voice. Even intermittent music can be distracting. I'm by NO means anti-music, I'm actually a musician/teacher but it distracts my visual brain to combine music with voice instruction - and vice versa. New subscriber!!!
I can relate to the distractions you speak of! I struggle to focus when there are a lot of competing sounds. Thanks for subscribing! 💕💕💕
@@jennifertobinart - I would say I'm particularly sound sensitive, so I've learned to adjust the volume as I need. Most folks do fine with a little of both. I just started using my 12x14 gel plate too. Such fun!
@@allthumbs3792 so exciting!!
Fun video! And since you ask, I do NOT enjoy videos with a lot of loud music! It is rarely to my taste and I quickly click away.
Thanks for watching & for your feedback! 💕
Me gusta su forma artística de hacer las cosas son muy bellas me acabo de suscribir y seré tu seguidora me gusta lo qué haces pero de ser posible que tus videos no sean tan rápido un poco tiempo real y un poco acelerado y me gusta como explicas todo pero como yo tengo que poner subtítulos porque no se inglés eso me distrae y casi no puedo ver lo qué haces sería bueno que fueras un poco más despacio gracias por compartir tu arte
Hola y gracias por tu comentario. Estoy usando el traductor de Google para leer y responder. Entonces, ¡espero que suene bien! Me alegra que te guste mi arte y te agradezco que sigas mi página. Intentaré hacer algunos videos más lentos también. ¡Espero que eso ayude! ¡Gracias de nuevo por seguirnos! 💕💕
What size of brayer is recommended for a gel plate this size?
I vote you use what you have on hand. I’m usually using a 4” brayer. But, I did just purchase a 6” brayer to experiment with. I’ve also done a video where I use many different brayers to create different effects…

Enjoy! 💕
I love your experimentation. ❤ And the tools are stencils are great! But PLEASE stop adding so much colour to your side notebook, because it's way overloaded with colour and paint! You need to tear off the page regularly after brayering onto it!! 😊
Thanks for your comment! 💕💕 I do a little bit of both - sometimes I fill my notebook and sometimes I add it to a second plate. 😍
Your volume is too low
Sorry to hear you’re having trouble hearing this video! I hope the others work ok for you. 💕
