    Miss Sherry. Often times I am looking for crafting ideas, and of course, because I am subscribed, you come up on my page. Let me tell you, please; life has not been very enjoyable of late. When you come up, I love clicking on your instruction. Your voice is soothing to my soul, therefore uplifting to me. Thank you for your ray of sunshine. God bless you.

    Hi Cheri thank you for showing me how to make bows and flowers without having to purchase bow paper maker. You save me so much money. I did not realize I could make this without spending money needlessly. Usually I always think out of the box but I was thinking about this and then you video came up and thank you so so much 💐💞🙋🏻🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🙏

    Love it. I use to write on one side stories. Then I will flip the book upside down on the back and write another story . That book would work perfectly for me.

    I cannot thank you enough today. I went to Hobby Lobby and got the most beautiful paper pads. They were on a terrific sale a $19.99 pad for $4.99 not all of them but a lot. I came home and make a book and it came out amazing. Thank you with all my heart for this wonderful idea.

    You certainly could have edited the video with your ooops. But you left it and your statement of life is so important. There are ups and downs, forward and backwards. Thank you so much. Beautiful project.

    😊 You said you're an upside down girl to my cure...that was cute, and I completely understand it. I was looking at those books wondering what I could do with them but passed them up. I'll get them now! Thanks again!

  • @Bunefoo401
    @Bunefoo401 Před 2 lety

    I like the painted spine … it probably adds just that tiny bit of extra strength to the cloth spines.
    As for the upside down comments … I can totally relate … I e counted 5 art journal pages that I’ve done that are upside down in my journal this year. I get myself all turned around when I don’t stamp, paint or stencil with a right side up background.
    Thank you for sharing. These turned out quite lovely

    Your paper/ journal notebooks are so inspirational. I am a member of a bible study group of 17 ladies. We have had so many answers to prayer in the past 2 years and this would make a beautiful prayer journal. Thank you for this. I can do this and economical as well. I would decorate the inside flap as well and add Pockets for prayer requests. Thank you Sherry

    Update... I just finished 2 of the composition books that I will be giving away. You truly inspired me. I bought my comp books at Walmart for.10. What a find. It has been fun and challenging to make each book different. Thank you again for inspiring me to do this. I used Beacon Tacky Glue from the dollar store on the inside. It works well no warp.

    Lovely project i was watching saying dont stick it its upside down. But good to see we all do silly things at times

  • @RosieCarl
    @RosieCarl Před 4 lety

    I was curious to see how you would handle the rounded corners on the cover, but you didn't use an inside liner. I guess that since the covers on those books are not as thick as chipboard, you could just add a paper liner and slice off the excess with your finger knife without worrying about folding the paper over the corners. If someone was really concerned about the edges of the cover showing, those edges could be painted to match the spine as a first step. I love how you put the back cover on upside down...when you do something like that, I always think about the song "Let it Go" from Frozen, and it makes me smile. It's wonderful that you point out your mistakes to us, because I think it helps encourage us to enjoy whatever we do, no matter what. I look forward to your videos every day, even when I miss the chat in the morning!

    Oh I “jones” for composition books. Love them. Can’t wait for summer sales and always snatch them up when they are 50 cents. I’ve decorated before but never liked the spines. I tried finding coordinating duct tape but never can find the right color. Great idea to paint the spine! Will try that. Might mod podge over the paint to help it not crack off after too many openings. I just bought some carta bella (Echo Park papers) Vintage packs that had some larger prints. Going to make a couple for some friends who are into antiques and everything vintage. They will love it! Tfs! Hugs from Ohio
