Thanks for the tip! I used a roller presser foot when I made the first vinyl cover journal and it worked great. The sewing machine repair person stated that the force needed to penetrate those materials created too much wear on the machine motor. I don't think I need to avoid vinyl completely as long as I only do it occasionally. I appreciate that you shared your experience, it helps. Cheers!

Yay! Thank you! I've seen a couple of those brown paper videos. This style would also work with upholstery fabric, which I plan to do.

Thank you for sharing Frieda ❣️🙏🕊❤️God bless your heart...

I forgot about that good idea, haven't done it in years. I did it with watercolor paints, and did the felt tip pens direct to the edges. Thanks for mentioning it!

Yes, vinyl is plastic and can cause skin issues in sensitive persons. Find a thinner, supple leather for this style, I think. Vinyl is something I had given to me. Watch the how to videos for the other masculine theme journal for tips on making the cover, which will work for leather or upholstery fabric as well.

Welcome!! I'm always open to hearing suggestions from subscribers. Thanks for watching. Kim

You are so welcome! And now it can be whatever color and paper people want to use. I like designing things like this. Enjoy!

Thank you so much!

Hi Wendy - Thank you! I just published another video with the same set-up but did it with acrylics, which you might find more interesting. See you soon! Cheers!

Hi Tina - Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! So true. So very true.

Okay. I don't know if you will like them but I love your idea to share them. I created a listing where they can be downloaded for free. Thank you! You have to go to the "Shop" tab. buymeacoffee.com/KimVictoriaArtist

Ah yes indeed. I do have to stop sometimes and ask myself if it will actually be useful. I have a small roll of corrugated cardboard that has become a wonderful texture stamp, so, yeah, fun stuff.

Thank you! Cheers!

Glad it was helpful!

My pleasure 😊

I came to like it better, as well. Thank you!

Oh, thank you so much! I appreciate that you have some of them, especially now that I have discontinued making them. Yes, I am expanding my use as well, as you saw, and it is fun to have the time to do that. Thank you for watching my videos. Let me know if there is something you'd like to see me demonstrate. Suggestions are helpful for creating what people would like to see. Happy creating! Kim

I respect your opinion. Art is like that. There are mid 20th century artists, highly respected by critics and the arts community that collectors paid millions for, that I think created pointless junk. This isn't my usual creative direction but something I wanted to challenge myself to try. Your preferences are valid. I appreciate that you took a look even though you don't like it. Bless you on your own creative journey!

Thank you! Out of storage and into a journal, but I didn't know it was that line, I simply liked the paper. Glad you like them.

Hi Tina, Thank you! This was a fun and expansive experience

Thank you so much! I hope you are also enjoying the current video series about how I made that journal plus new ideas. My husband is a writer/author and has inspired me quite a bit. Cheers!

I am sincerely glad this was helpful. I want to do more videos such as this and would love to know what YOU are wondering about. Even though I have decades of experiences, I still learn from other artists and students of art. It was my art students who taught me how to teach. The journey is rewarding. Remember to keep it fun. Let me know. Cheers!

Hi Tina, I respect your opinion quite a bit because you are such a talented journal-maker. Thank you! Subscribers who see this - go check out the detailed instruction on @FriedaFriemel - excellent tutorials.

Great! I love synchronicity. I am learning a lot from crafters from across both ponds and want to reciprocate in kind. Cheers!

I appreciate you sharing your comment. I want to be informative but not overdo it, if you know what I mean. As a long-time art teacher I always wanted to make clear why I was doing certain things and why I would suggest certain things to students. I am glad you got some ideas. And the whole thing could have been any theme color, and I plan to run with all the colors over time, no blue necessary (ha, ha). Cheers and happy crafting!

Thank you! And I have a couple more bags waiting in the wings for their transformation which will be different than this one. I appreciate that you watched and enjoyed. Cheers!
