    Thank you so much for brining us along with your craft with me. Never need apologies when crafting! It was wonderful and the flowers are gorgeous. Can’t wait to see the journal. I’m a grunge girl so I love the grunge part of your journals. But you are so eclectic you could call them whatever! You definitely don’t fit into one category. Just wonderful in all ways! Hugs to you!

    Such a great video, thank you so much Sara for teaching and sharing with all of us. I myself don’t know what my style is for journal making. I don’t seem to fit into any kind of style. Your style is beautiful and passionate. Your love and passion for creating shines through. Love watching and learning. Thanks Sara 🌹 Donna 🫶🏻

    Gosh! These flowers are really cute and sooo appropriate for a shabby chic theme, but certainly adaptable to any style, simply by choosing the "right" fabric/material. I will certainly have to let go my OCD in this case to get such a lovely result as you did. Thanks for sharing this very valuable turorial😊

    Shabby, Vintage, Grunge though I don't like categorising at all, you certainly have your own style, so could call it 'Sara Creative Style' 😃😃😃 Regardless, it is beautiful. I'm like you and can never work out my style, but come to the conclusion it doesn't matter. It's wonderful you create on your bed and I am sure this encourages those that don't have a select craft area, that creating can be done no matter what. I do adore your bed styling with your darling kitty 'adorable style' lol 😻 It is wonderful to see you create, and your journal and flowers are stunning. Have a wonderful weekend ahead.

    Sara you did a great job, no apologies needed at all girlfriend! Love your flowers! And not a darn thing wrong with bed crafting, I’ve watched a slow stitch crafter work on her bed, and a journal maker who worked on her floor. 😘 If I had to call a style for you I’d lean toward shabby vintage. 🥰❤

The type you use to put around photos/pictures in frames. My next one I make I will film for you. If you have a picture framing gallery near you, they may have some off cuts you could ask for
