    How, I mean HOW can one be soooo extremely brave, patient and especially CALM when those things happen??? I would have freaked out completely.... Not so you. That's one reason why you're such a big role model for me!

      Barbara the Matt photo paper is the reason the inklifting didn't work... Luise made a video about this paper. It makes the inks waterproof😅. Exactly the reason I bought it❤❤

    I was passionately cheering for you with each little disaster revealed. You tested the limits for things to get bad and all of a sudden turned the project into a cool one. You pulled it off with the ‘never give up’. Really enjoyed this!

    Thank you for being real, and for showing the failure (the challenging part) as well as the success. I appreciate that as a creator, you are real with your content. I need that reminder for when I try and fail - it reminds me that it's ok and normal to have ideas go sideways. Love your content Barbara!

    @angelaarnold4255 Před rokem +1

    Red is my favorite color. But watching you work (and work and work) this page, I realized I’ve never…. Not once used red in any Journal I’ve ever made. I love the way this turned out. I need to remember this and never give up. Beautiful.

  • @pambotter355
    @pambotter355 Před rokem

    Barbara, how cool you didn’t give up. I think I would’ve tore the page out. Now you have inspired me not to give up! You picked the perfect quote to go in the page. Absolutely love how this all turned out and glad you kept the lady whole. Such a cool idea. TFS! ❤

    @patpost2953 Před rokem +1

    Oh, Barbara! I was commiserating with you each step of the way and thinking to myself that we have all had those moments-thinking things weren’t going as we hoped, thinking we had ruined our work. But giving ourselves time to accept what we have and making it into something we like is worth the struggle. Thank you for sharing your frustrations. It turned into a really great page.

    I could almost hear Luisa "Barbara, No! What are you doing?" 😅This is normal disaster journaling for me. 😂. Its encouraging to watch you keep going and remain calm and laugh at yourself until you get the result you are happy with. The red leaves we're brilliant even though at the beginning you thought only the other red should be there. I ❤ the outcome. Love from Florida.

    Barbara, your perseverance is amazing. I’d surely have given up and torn the page out completely so I’d never see it again!!! 😡 You saved it, and I was so happy that you heard me say “those branches should be red”, lol. I must learn patience. I’m only good for 2 attempts at fixing before I start raging…

    I loved this video! It was so encouraging to see you keep at it until you got an effect that works. I would have torn the page out at about 10 minutes, and now I'll think of you and persist longer to make my mistakes successes.

  • @elenalaskari4739
    @elenalaskari4739 Před rokem

    Dear Barbara, you are so amazingly calm and patient, and that reward you with this awesome result!❤❤❤ During the process, I was thinking that I would have definitely torn the card out of the journal if I was in your place! Furthermore, I would have ended up disappointed and thinking that I'm not good enough for that (thankfully that wouldn't last much!) I LOVED the red flower leaves, what a great idea! The whole page turn out amazing! Thank you so much for the great lesson of not giving up! Sweet greetings from Athens, Elena.😘😘😘

    I learned my lesson when I melted my self-healing craft mat with my heat gun….I bought a splat mat that is meant for your oven, i cut it in 2 pieces and it works great for covering pages while you dry things. I also use it as a crafting mat, hot glue and other glues don’t stick.😁💕
