    I love your journal and your explanations, so very helpful. Thank you for sharing!

  • @TeresaRogersLittleCreations

    Such a gorgeous feminine journal!! It's so fun sometimes to create a junk journal without having to worry about everything coordinating and having a specific place. Very therapeutic to me to find a home for those precious pieces of scraps. Yours is wonderful!

      Teresa Rogers I think that is such a fun part of it, not having to co-ordinate everything, it makes it a very relaxing and rewarding journal to make. Thank you so very much for taking the time to watch :)

    Hi Jeanette, what fun you are having with these junk journals! I love your ideals and you have done very good putting them together! If this was the first one I would never known it! I did get laugh (out) on how you were concern about getting something not right. But that just your way of crafting your wonderful art!!! You always amaze me on how pretty you make anything look! I know why I miss this video, as I had company that week. My daughter was visiting me :) have a great week! Hugs, Judy

    Blessed day! It's always a beautiful day when I see your lovely design's. I'm inspired yet I haven't made a vintage piece. Mine keep turning into something more traditional so I just keep trying. One day the vintage mode will hits me and my journal will surface. Thank you for sharing your AWESOMENESS! Have a blessed day.

    I love what you did with the lace "balloons" floating up from the lace "ground"! I thought it was very imaginative and whimsical. (At a little after 16 minutes I think.)

    Jeanette if you stamp on a paper that you are not using first you get of the excess you dont want and then you get a soft stamp on your page. it is called ghost stamping. :) Your journal is beautiful. I so understand the not liking crocedness. I am working on that to. Tfs love. :)

    I have watched a pocket full of vintage that does junk journal where she goes through step by step but she sews here signatures in but I would like to try this method I expect I will make a few mistakes but I guess this is how we learn I think you did ok for your first junk journal keep up the good work Vivienne from Tasmania

    • @MiCottageCrafts
      @MiCottageCrafts  Před 9 lety

      Vivienne Parfitt Thank you Vivienne :) I think I will give the hand sewing method a try very soon as too much paper through my old sewing machine may not be good ;) It's all a learning process isn't it. Thank you so very much for watching :)

    Really great junk journal. Really great FIRST junk journal. When I put something in a journal and it's not as straight as I would like, I frame it with something else so it looks straight. In this case, darker lace might help. tfs

  • @debthern
    @debthern Před 9 lety

    Oh im so excited to try taking paper, lace and bits like your book and making my own.

    • @PeachyOutlook
      @PeachyOutlook Před 9 lety
