Such a cute little journal. You are so organised with all your little boxes ❤ Love all the layering
Love your layering technique💞
Wow seems like less than ten minutes to make. I gotta try this on weekend.
Yes, super easy, might be something for Craftaholics? 😊
I was hoping you might say that
Sometimes I work on a project-like an art journal page-and I don’t like how it came out, and then I get in a mood. Little projects like this are great for getting back the joy in crafting. Thanks! ❤
Yes, that’s exactly right, can’t go wrong with this quick make. Thanks so for watching 😊
Hi Liz, I love this little album ❤️ tried to make it several times but never knew exactly how to, but now I got. 😃👍 Thanks 🙏. What brand are those little leaves and flowers you used, they were laser cut?
Thank you 😊 They are 49&market, similar to these ones buddlycrafts.com/gb/shop/product-59260/49-and-market-nature-study-6x12-laser-cut-outs-mushrooms-foliage-141pcs/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADx9H9ThuCsNtnlYsXGStJUtvAQqz&gclid=CjwKCAjw-JG5BhBZEiwAt7JR65ABVJdLFHm4jOLNMbTU5dkvTSXDEesr0F-ldn7nC4fnJjTEDFHswhoCVgQQAvD_BwE
@ thanks Liz, ❤ I am sorry wasn’t paying attention, when I watched it again I heard you said it many times that it was 49 and market. Hahaha was so busy folding my page into the little booklet that I didn’t 🤣🤣🤣 listen to what you said. Silly me 😊
That's a great lesson! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for popping by and watching 😊
Really enjoyed this one Liz xx
Thank you, and thanks so much for popping by and watching 😊
I really like this little book with its tags on the top. Its great for all the seasons. Thanks for sharing this idea!
Thank you so much for popping by and watching 😊
I have nade these mini albums years ago. They problem now that I have more ephemera I can waffle about what to choose . The solution for me is to only pull out a few various items and make do. Love clocks on anything. Great wee tutorial 🍁🍂🍁
Thank you, yes, too many choices make it difficult 😆 clocks are always a good idea 🥰
I have made these mini albums years ago. Nice to revisit. I like you have lots if ephemera to choo
Great little project, love it😍Might make some as little Christmas gifts. Thank you for the inspiration ❤ xx
Thank you, perfect little gift idea 🥰
Really good demonstration Liz!! I might give it a try tomorrow. Thanks for your wonderful ideas and l am sure much effort and time put in even before recording starts!!
Thank you so much, yes, it takes just as much time to prep! Good fun though 😊
😍❤️ what a really cute project. Definitely a cute happy mail gift.
Thank you so much for popping by and watching 😊
The book is just beautiful. The images are a start buy your talent is taking it the extra mile. So good the back of the cuties is background and not another cutie. Each page tells it's own story. I am going to try the white paint method you showed. Looked so good. Loved the steam engine 🚂 stamp on that sheet---reminds me of Queen st Station and the big trains. The parade sounds devine. Hope weather was ok 🎃
Thank you so much. Queen street station had been recently modernised and looks really great now, you would hardly recognise it. The parade was great, a really fun family time and the weather held just enough 🥰
@@buttonsforbrains I saw on TH-cam a video of the restoration of the old station. Lots of memories there. At Xmas they used to have model trains in a big display. People put money in and they ran for ages. One time a train 🚂 didn't stop on time and plowed into the platform. Of course we all trooped down to see it
@@iluvtojournalI never saw the Christmas trains, Queen Street was never a station we needed to use. Sounds like quite a sight 🥰
Such a cute page, Liz😍. Absolutely love it. ❤ Hope you enjoyed the local parade x
Thank you, the parade was great, such a fun thing for the local community 😊
This journal is just absolutely stunning 😍 I love that you are adding backgrounds to each piece and the addition of colour etc Love it ❤
Thank you, and thanks so much for stopping by and watching 😊
😍❤️ absolutely ❤️ this journal.
Thank you so much Carol 😊
I got to be the first “like!” You deserve thousands more! I don’t usually use digitals or books like this but I really enjoy watching you do it! ❤

Thank you, I’m over the moon with that number 🥰

Thank you, and thanks so much for stopping by and watching 😊
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you 😊
Congratulations on your subscribers 💐. I got rid of my hubby's slides. He had picked them up somewhere so no family in them. Who knew that I should have kept them . Really like what you created. A picture is worth a thousand words 🍁🍁🍁
Thank you, lots of items get thrown out over the years. You can’t keep everything! These slides have just recently come to me, will need to try and think of other ways to use them!
Liz, these are fabulous!😍 You have some really great ideas, love what you do. ❤Also congrats on the 8000+ subscribers👍👏
Thank you, and thanks so much for your continued support 🥰
😍❤️woohoo, 8,000 subscribers! It’s all because you have such interesting and fun projects.
Thank you so much 🥰
Love these ❤ the layering is lovely 😊
Thank you, and thanks so much for stopping by and watching 😊
Hi Liz, wonderful composition. What is the name of the tape you used, and where did you get it?
Hi, it’s called Heat Tape. I got it from Amazon www.amazon.co.uk/YTBUBOR-Polyimide-Adhesive-Multi-width-Soldering/dp/B07LGX6YYM/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?crid=3STATKE4J51QI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.zT3WP4gEwBb-cIzIg8Mm371VSjqLO3mC3aNdxNUV6r-4y9fT4_j_sPmHQND3pJrPGdzPXMSLraf8txchSHnZlPGPZKZk5QgJ-a3FstjpAoxHOXUGdE4tLZBF6pSGMsVs57nLqDSbS4wUG4Y2uCq9PguR0WwZ7y6l-3x85M6D-6h2tiUzVSVEp_SCyenD2kK96IAhKUrEWLw2LteGMbbuKA.nEXn58buPZSD5Z7LMPmZqgdxKOUazXuOIl3q2PJa5X0&dib_tag=se&keywords=heat+tape&qid=1729785458&sprefix=heat+ta%2Caps%2C119&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1
Those are really interesting line drawings. The ladies look like so much fun! Good for you taking the plunge on another amazing project🙎
I’m a crafty butterfly, flitting from one project to another! Thank you so much for your continued support 🥰
I love these tags, so adorably cute👻 Thank you so much for sharing! I always enjoy your videos and they make me smile when you smile/giggle of joy💕I hope Hubby is feeling better now and that Milly won’t be too affected by arthritis🐶 I wish you wonderful days🌻🍂🌤
Thank you, and thanks so much for stopping by and watching 😊 Everyone is well now and the medicine is doing the trick for Mili 🥰
Our weather is gorgeous today. 20 degrees c😊. I appreciate that there is a background image. Nothing worse in choosing sides that are equally appealing. Only a fellow crafter would understand our fascination with numbers and old invoices. Absolutely captivating 🍄🍁
It has brightened up here now but Autumn is definitely upon us🍁Yes, numbers are a definite favourite for me 🥰
So lovely!
Thank you so much 😊
Gorgeous page. I think this was my favorite. Thanks for the video.
Thank you, and thanks so much for stopping by and watching 😊
This wee girl looks like my granddaughter but steampunked! 💗⚙️
Aww, that’s so cute 🥰
I love this wee book, Liz. The kids are so cute on these pages, hope your dinner was yummy!
Thank you 🥰 Yes, dinner was yummy 😋
Very pretty.. I’ve always wondered the proper purpose of those sticks, I assumed they were for blending as there are some in my (little used) watercolour pencil pack, however, on attempting to blend with water I’ve had poor results. Can you tell me the liquid you are using for blending please? X😊
Thanks so much for stopping by and watching 😊 The blending solution is called Sansodor, mine is by Winsor and Newton 😊
an hole other Idea, I really love this!
Thank you so much 😊
Another fabulous page Liz, thank you for your lovely video and idea's ...Kia Kaha Stay Strong....❤
Thank you so much Maggie 🥰
I love how you did your background and added colour with the pencils. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much, you have a good week too 🥰
The children in this collage book are so darling. I love the way you are using them in your Clockwork Universe journal/book.
