Oh Cori, you are so amazing. And strong. As a mom who is continually worried about my daughter’s mental health, I fear her loss every day and cannot even begin to imagine the hardship of losing a grown son/daughter. Your inspiration spreads so much further than the craft room 🥰. This journal is so unique and downright gorgeous. Every piece and every page is so carefully crafted down to the littlest detail. You are so conscientious about aesthetic, quality and functionality, that the results could be nothing less than stunning! Hugs 🤗❤️
Cori, I finished my book! My daughters and hubby loved it. I was sharing it with them at our Mother’s Day brunch and the owner was mesmerized by the book and pages, which tickled me so much. Thanks again for showing us how to make such a fantastic heirloom. I used special stamps and ephemera from my stash and it was such fun to do. It took me about 3 months, however, I was entertained the entire time. Plus, it has given me great ideas for future projects, thanks to all the videos showing how to make ephemera bits.
Thank you very much for letting me know and I'm thrilled to hear that both you and your family are enjoying it. What a wonderful tribute to them and your memories and treasures. Bless you ❤️
As you flipped through, I kept thinking, "Oh, I love that idea; or, oh, I think that's my favorite; or, I have to remember that." Your journals are always a sensory delight. As I read the previous comments, I was touched by the many mothers who have reached out to you. Grief is lonely. But, you are not alone. We are all here in one way or another to support, not only you, but your entire family. Thank you for continuing to share your creativity with us.
This file folder is amazing, Cori! Where do you come up with all these ideas, you're so talented! I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers, Cori, that our Lord fills you all with strength and comfort. Much love and big hugs to you, dear Cori! ❤
Hi Cori, just wanted you to know how much I enjoy what you have taught me. I am going through all your videos and will soon be making my first junk journal. Love listening to you too! As I craft I have your channel on and "squirrel" all the time because something you are saying or crafting catches my attention. Thank you and God Bless you and yours.
Hi Cori, I'm relatively new to your channel and just love all your creations, very inspiring for me. Love this journal so much, gives me so many ideas. Every page is a delight. x
I am so behind I am always playing catch up on videos, they do keep me company when i am fussy cutting though.. School has finally ended though now summer school starts but a little less hectic., I always love watching your journal flip throughs, they are just so amazing with all the interactions and details. This one is beautiful, thank you for sharing. Lorelle
Thank you, Lorelle and congratulations on making it through another school year! Summer school? Bless you. Seriously. Happy, happy creating and downtime to you!
Sweet Cori, prayed for continued comfort. You are beloved!! In the midst of sorrow and pain, your PASSION for creating is a true BLESSING for our souls and yours as well! Thank YOU! The journal is loaded with so many lovely elements!! Blessings and much love!! Look forward to your next project!
Oh my this journal is amazing….please make some journals for sale and I want to be on the top of that list! I just missed your 2 idea books. I know that was a while back I’m hoping ❤
Love this journal, all of it!! Thank you so much for sharing your work❤️. Sending hugs and prayers to you and your family Hoping that you find peace and solace through your creative process blessings💕
Enjoyed seeing this. It's so cool. At 12:26, had to pause and run off and make that flower between playing cards. Never seen that. Must have missed you making. And you even matched them up. Thanks!!!
It will be 3 months on the 24th that I lost my child.. it's crazy the emotions that come with it.. Big hugs from one Mama to another. May you be filled with all the good memories ❤ I feel so stuck when I want to craft.. thank you for the inspiration!
Oh Sarah, I'm so very sorry. I know all too well how hard each day is and how you wonder if life will ever return to "normal". Please know you're in my prayers and that I hope you find little things each day that bring you comfort and peace.
I would love to see how you utilize some cardstock that has a little brighter colors into vintage ephemera pieces. I have so many scraps from my Scrapbook days that I hate to get rid of. I’ve used all my browns, greens, craft etc. colors, but now I’m stuck with the brighter ones that I don’t know how to handle.
Cori your strength of character is an inspiration to me and I’m sure many others. I’m sure that you are still going through the grieving process but you are still here giving of yourself to your community. I’ve not lost an adult child but have lost a babe and twin grandsons and the grief still hits at times. I see your beautiful soul as you talk about your family and students. You are a remarkable woman. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I wish heartfelt healing and happiness to you and your family.
Hello Cori, It has taken me a while to send you this. I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my 8 year old grandson, so I know what you ate going through. I wish I could make it all better. My heart is heavy. The only thing we can do is keep going forward. It is so hard, and some days I am not sure I can get to the next. But, I speak his name everyday and that helps (a little). Keep you chin up, and on a lighter note, I am glad you could use some of the goodies I sent to you. It put a smile on my face. xoxo
I have enjoyed seeing the process of doing this journal and I cut out my first one sheet wonder book. So sorry for your loss. Wasn’t sure who the Tim was but know the grief last some time.p
Your journal is like an exquisite jewel, flawless and sparkling. No one I have seen can match your attention to detail and work(wo)manship. Thank you for sharing both your process and this journal flip through. I hope the river of time eventually softens the edges of your grief. It will no doubt alway be with you, but may it become a source of compassion and ever deepening connection to the ineffable.
Thank you, Cori. You have created another amazing journal done in your wonderful style that is like no others that I am fortunate to be able to see via TH-cam. 🥰 I had a little smile when you were able to use Rita’s name. 😘 Blessings to you and Brian as you move forward without the physical presence of your beloved son. Your years of memories will still keep him close. Love and big hugs, dear friend! 💞
Your book turned out beautifully. I was interrupted by some birthday cards and cards for a fundraiser, however, I’m looking forward to finishing it here shortly. It’s a beautiful it’s. Thanks, Cori.
I love this little journal! I really cannot add anything different than what has already been said. I agree with each one. I love your work and your videos. May you find peace and comfort.............
Thank you for sharing this journal in all their finished glory!! Love all your little tucks and nooks - always love your ideas and inspiration. Continued prayers and loving wishes to you and your family as you navigate this painful journey❤❤
Dear Cori, what a wonderful journal you created despite the sad and challenging times you are going through, I know many of us continue to send you and your family caring thoughts 💚. Your ideas give so much inspiration, I also love those little drawers from Tracie's kit. I did something similar with the brown set, but your flaps with the white one is brilliant. I wanted to do something similar, but couldn't fathom what to do, your brilliant paper engineer's mind cracked it, thank you!
@@CoriDahmen yes I am still anoying Eric, so life is good 😉😂 it’s a wee bit colder here than normal, wind chill out the north hasn’t taken the temp much above zero, however off on our hollibobs soon, and some much needed cosy sun, so Fergus has his bags packed, so Hamish I’m sure will be getting a postcard or two !!!! (If that’s ok) I hope crafting is bring you some joy, as I know, it brings all of us, so much joy seeing you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@kayboath2468 Hamish told me he’s more than ready for an uplifting adventure so I know he’s enjoy living vicariously through Fergus. Sweet of him to think of us ♥️
Love this journal, but then I love everything you do 🥰. I don't know how you do it, I only have one child but to lose her would be so devastating. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Another fascinating journal!! I love all the exquisite pieces intricately customised for each page. You have a style like no other! Great creativity! ❤
That is gorgeous Cori 🥰I love your art. I'll need to try to make one, later in my learnings how to do a JJ. I never asked what you used for your cover, what kind of paper? I would love to see how you make all your little pieces that you put in your journal. Beautiful JJ ❤Forgot the first video now, need to go back & look. Love it Love it Love it!❤❤
