- Have you got magazine ads? I'm using these vintage ads and recycled file folders to make neutral journaling cards. I'll use these to stuff in pockets and tucks in my upcoming junk journals.
I am so impressed with these tags. What wonderful methods you designed and easy enough for us newer journal makers to follow. Thank you and blessings from Betty in Ohio.
A pleasure Betty! Thanks for hanging around here. You help to boost me!
Thank you, Kathleen. You do awesome tutorials! I love these in the look of them and the fact that you’re using pieces that might otherwise be discarded. It also gives us another way of using digitals that include vintage advertising if we don’t have much access to vintage magazines. 😀💞
Yes, Keryn! I was going to mention digitals ads and then forgot, haha! You are so intuitive about these things. Thank you for always boosting me. Each time, and always if I’m a little discouraged, there you are with a cheerful, supportive comment. You are a blessing to me.
I really love this. And what a brilliant source for genuine, old ads! You’re so smart.
Thanks Dawn! I wouldn’t say I have great thrift stores around me, but now and then I can find what I’m looking for. The antique stores are a little better, but the dealers don’t seem to collect paper, haha. Mostly furniture and hard knickknacks…BTW, ten more days until Valentines!
@@BeAgainBooks only TEN more days!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Such a great use for those old ads. That old magazine was a wonderful find. I've never found such a gem at my local thrift shop. Thanks for another very helpful tutorial.
Thank you Jennifer. It is a great find. My thrift store isn’t the greatest either, but sometimes I get lucky. Keep looking and one of these days…
That magazine was a lucky find and what a great way to use the ads! Mass makes are the best, building up a nice stash of things to add to journals.
I agree Susan - you are right! Thanks so much for watching.
These are gorgeous. I love the old ads anyway, and this is a brilliant way to use them
Thank you Dorothy! I love them too and it’s kind of interesting that I can remember some of them, haha.
@@BeAgainBooks yes. I remember so many of them. Could it be the marketing works? Lol
Turned out great and lots of fun. Thanks, Kathleen.
Thank you Jeanne!
Love this project!! I have a couple of really old magazines that I've wanted to harvest from. This is a great way to use them! Thank you!
Great - so glad you’ll try it out Toni! Have fun.
Thank you so much, Kathleen😍!
My pleasure Susan! Thanks for watching.
Love the look!
Thank you Rhonda!
Great mixed media idea for ephemera Kathleen!
I think I like them Nancy! It went pretty quick and that’s important, right?
I've always had a hard time with layering but you make it look so easy! I can't wait to try making some of these.
Thank you Carey! These are pretty easy - I’m sure you’ll love them.
Great idea! ❤
Thank you Julie!
Such a great idea! I enjoyed watching your process! ❤️
Thank you Lidia!
You are wonderful!
Oh Gina - thank you so much. I appreciate that boost this morning!
Hello Kathleen, I really enjoyed this project! I’ll have to give this one a go also. ❤I’m glad I found your channel a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been really enjoying your makes. I hope as ll is well blessings, Jenn
I’m glad to hear this Jenn and very glad you found me! Thanks so much for your watching time. I hope you will try this out.
That's a bit different, more of a mixed media type thing. The last journal card you showed with the pink color on it, is very pretty. I think I like the ones with color a bit more. Also that mag you showed, 1975, year of my son's birth, lol... I just got some mags at an estate sale recently, so listings for ads coming to my shop. There are some there already, but they are larger page size. TFS Hugs * L
Thanks so much Leslie! I think they are going to finish off pretty well, in the end. I’m glad you’ve found some good magazines!
Thank you, I recently discovered you can mix gesso and modeling paste together to paint over a substrate, after it dries you can paint with watercolor on it, say its a piece of wood etc. You would use it on your cards and then paint with watercolor etc...my mind is wheeling lol
Yes, you surely can mix those two Holly - quick, off to your studio to try it out! Thanks so much for watching.
These are brilliant! I feel inspired! Inspiration is so hard to find sometimes. Thank you for sharing this video with us!
You are so welcome! Glad you like them!
Love this project! I have a ton of those magazines and now I know what to do with them! Could you show us how you make the upholstery covered covers?
I’m so glad Nancy! Yes, I can show the fabric covers. I will put it on the list.
So helpful you are, Kathleen!! Love your creativity with all the ways and means to 'pretty up' a plain ol boring tag!! You're awesome and they all look so perfect!! I need all the help I can get. I think i'm getting too old...or somethin. 🤔 And then you mention the 1975 magazine and go on to say it's 50 years old....omigoodness, I graduated HS in 1975!! 😳Dang where did the time go??? 😮💨
Thanks again. Your Journals are absolutely beautiful!! TFS 😍😍😍
Thanks so much Jill - I appreciate all these comments! I often wish I had known that I would be a junk journal artist when I was young. I would have saved sooooo many things.
@@BeAgainBooks

Nice video love the cards and tags you made
Glad you like them Virginie! Thanks for watching.
Loving this. Blessings! @theresaconway-hayes
Thank you Theresa! Hope you have a crafty day!
