Absolutely beautiful (as usual)! Thank you for all the great instruction and tips, very inspiring!
Showing us tips that you've learned along the way and sharing with us we really appreciate it.
yesss Paint it Black...not only do you have bookish style but music style too!!!
I think I've watched all your videos at least once or twice over the past three years.... and yet each new one *still* provides new ideas, improved methods, helpful tips and tons of inspiration. The way you attached the signatures in this journal (in the previous video) is brilliant and the cover alteration you shared in this one is simply lovely! I also appreciate the mention of restraint in journal-making. Of course, everyone loves a beautiful "look book" and enjoys finding surprizes in unexpected places.... but we need to leave them some space so their life journey can create its own beauty there. Thanks, again, Nik, for all you share with us. You're priceless!!
Thank you, Kathy! 💕
Curing syphilis. LMAO! Nik, you're such a card. A very talented card!
Catywhampus, hitch in my gitalong, stove up...all old west sayings, love that you still use this vernacular. Lol, thanks for sharing. Very helpful.🤗🙃
I'm with everyone else, your videos seem to fly by because I get so engrossed in what you're doing. I love what you did with the cover and spine, they're such great touches.
Love this. Your family photos are wonderful!!
Wow! NICK!! Dang!! Love this!❤❤❤❤
I love this video....there's so much info. I like how you show us how to make several things...one right after the other. Thanks!!!!!
Agreed, I like a journal to be accessible and easy to use. Also love ur sense of humor....thanks for the journey ✨️
Thanks for sharing your family pictures with us. I think that's really special. God bless you. Becky B
Thanks, Becky! I wish I had noticed they weren't in focus >.
I’m going to try and make one of these. It’ll be my first one. Love the video
Love this book, Nik!!! ♥️♥️♥️🌺🌺🧨
I am in love with the cover!
Back the truck up bucko - I'm listening and laughing...You are too funny. Thanks for the tutorial!
Always a pleasure watching your mind in mind in motion.
I had a chuckle when you mentioned the song "Paint it Black" with a red book... I see a red door and I want it painted black...just saying, lol.
My favourite kind of video from you Nik. Long, chatty and working through creative ideas and choices.
Beautiful! Thank you. Be safe.
I wish I had the patience for doing this. I'm terrible at measuring and cutting. I also don't have the tools, supplies and papers. I admire your mad journal skills.
Very clever absolutely loving this book
Fantastic video! Love it! Thank you so much! ♥️♥️♥️
Beautiful work...TFS 🌻
Great ideas ... love these editions :) TFS ❤❤😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Very nice Nik. Thank you! BLESSINGS
So glad to see a journal that could be made a bit more simply, yet beautiful and with utility in mind. All of your videos are informative and bring out one's imagination. Thankful.
Hello Nik, how are you doing today young lady? I pray that you are having a good day. Thanks for doing these kind of videos, I find them inspirational and educational. I prefer these and your previous videos of your journal flip throughs over the crime drama videos, mainly because there is just way too much drama in the world already, my mind & body just can't deal with that anymore. I have a bunch of your video tutorial projects I want to do so very much, just so I can say "I made that" before I die. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
I love love love your videos. Seems like I have watched you for a 100 years. Always learn, always enjoy and always connect.
You actually read my mind, I wanted something pretty but with no fussy frilly bits. Having dyslexia is hard enough without the distraction! Thank you you showed me I can have both.
Nikki xx
Fab work, Nik! Love your stuff! 😍👍❤
We share a similar ethos vis a vis things being useful. I am liking your style.
You are my favourite genious! That Rolodex card idea was great! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ty for sharing those awesome pics 😃
Love a junk journal that is pretty and functional. Thanks for sharing.
Stones and Rossetti and bookmaking in the same video. 💕💕💕
Odd bedfellows, right? Its funny the things we're drawn to. =)
You are absolutely Brilliant! I love your attention to detail. I was thinking the same thing with the Oval you cut out and gluing it to the back of the black one so it would slip down into the cutout and then you did it... That is awesome... I will definitely be saving this for future reference. Take care... Now to watch the next video.
Thank you for this!!! You were my first inspiration to begin making junk journals. I adore all the older videos where your journals were about characters....they always had a story attached to them. This "refresher" reminded me of what I love to do best! You are the true definition of being a teacher. BTW, I'm loving your true crime discussions while you're crafting!
Your junk journal is quality and classy looking I really like the antiquey touches you add, really love the cover and your rollodex card
The surprises you share midway are sweet, good photos!
Here I am diligently listening to your process and you make a comment about the label “curing syp**lus” and now I’m cracking up! Lol
Loving this so far....cool!....😻
That's a beautiful journal. I love the way you embellished it as well. So lovely to see photos of your grandparents and your mum as a baby ❤️
Great instructional video. I especially enjoyed the old black and white family photos!
The Buck-Ana-Quarter store. (Said with a Boston Accent - because I love that accent.)💯✨❤️🙏🏻🕊
Love your style, very inspirational❤
Love your style of making a journal. I am a neat freak and it’s difficult for me to be messy. The pictures of your family are precious.
I love the irreverent style of your videos! I'm a rule-breaker as well and it's so much fun.
us: nice book
nik: thanks, it's got pockets!
😆 Exactly!
I love these additions. I especially like the small gussets you create for depth and extra space. The slides pickets are so fun!!! TFS😍
Loved this video! Great ideas - thanks!
Omg it was like you read my mind. I have been trying to find a solution for my pocket tucks. Such a great idea to score the paper twice so that I can have a little room to tuck in a photo.
So glad to have the benefit of your experience. You have an unfolding bag of tricks for us!🙏🏼
Love the book! Thx for great ideas 😉
In the Navy we call the hole reinforcers, paper buttholes. lol
Thank you for sharing these ideas.
I love the way your books are practical and cleanly made. Brilliant work Nik.
I see a red book and I want to paint it black 😂😂😂
Wonderful update to the cover ☺️📔
I see a red door!! 😍😍😎😎
Thanks so much for everything!!!
Thank you for coming back to book/journal making processes Nik
Once again Nik, I am captured by your work. I love your preciseness. You’re so much fun to listen to and make me howl with laughter. The overlays are so funny. Thanks Nik 🦸
Sooo great to have your vid. I like your content, your expertise, your communication skills, and your personality! I mostly really like your aesthetic! Keep going!🦌💌❤️📚🥰🤪
Love, love. TY!
I think you're the only channel of the thousand or so I'm subscribed to that I actually never miss watching a video, at regular speed no less. I enjoy your tutorials and how you decorate them way past where I would stop, and enjoy your thoughts on the criminal stuff too. Thank you!!
At regular speed, even? Now, THAT is a compliment! Thank you, I thoroughly appreciate it =)
I’m just about to embark on my first journal so thrilled with the ideas here - I particularly love the cover. Beautiful.
Same here I'm almost finished with the construction of my 1st journal...can't wait to fill the pages!!!
Omg you crack me up! ‘’You know…whatever this is called…the patterned paper.” It’s even more amusing in 2X speed. I desperately want to try this project. I might be hitting up an old bookstore next week…
Thank you again for another great tutorial on making a junk journal out of an old book. I have never made one but after part one and your great instructions I'm ready! Went to the Goodwill and purchased a used book and I will finally try it. Most of all thank you for all that you share with us...especially during this very difficult time. You are wonderful!!
Stay safe and well and be happy.😘
not gonna lie, you explained it so well and you made it look really easy that you made me wanna do one of these.
Thanks for sharing awesome So good❤️
You are the best.❤️
Super fun! And I loved the trip down memory lane (old pics, rolodex card, slides) ❤️😊
Decorating without lace........love this. Thank you!
The journal is fantastic. You are always inspiring. Your grandfather was very handsome by the way!!
You would have loved him! Thank you, Cheryl 😊
Thank you. I’m a beginner and your approach is the one that resonates with mine : I want my journals to be first of all practical, useful while also being nice to look at and browse through. Thank you also for being so clear in your demonstrations. Your videos are the best for me so far… (and by far 😉)…❤
It's funny I remember feeling sick when my Uncle brought out the projector for a slideshow. Now I see slides and think I wish I had some of the old family slides. Great ephemera Nic. Blessings, positive vibes and peace for all who need it in these unsure times! Namesta ✌️🐞🕉️
Thanks Nik for your comments at the end of the video. I enjoy watching all the videos on how to make complicated pockets and fold outs , etc., but I don't put them in my own journals because they aren't practical. I appreciate the clean lines and usefulness of your journals. Love your style!
Beautiful 🤩 Best part “memory lane” Adorable photos ❤️
Real like this a lot. Thanks so much for sharing the photos ☺️
You smart woman, making that rolodex card with a punch! Whooda thought?
shoo i started a journal back in 2013, i made the cover and binding and flaps and the whole whole shebang, but i never fished it nor did i decorated it, i kept adding other book cover and all that but three days ago i found you and then i found my book i was working on and the heat and cold glued itself together and not even in a good way, that ended up in the trash bin in a quick fast hurry, but i been collecting stuff now for a serious journal
You had me at "Blind Mellon" (you mentioned a long time ago) I've been a lurker forever! I've learned the value of like, comment on TH-cam. I owe you a lot of likes! But from now on! You are so amazing! I think in real life We'd be friends! Lol
Thank you for your videos!
Thank You!! Love all your videos! Down to earth talk.. easy tutorial..very educational.. thank you again!
like my 9th grade haircut 🤣 Nik thank you for sharing the photos of your Grandparents and your Mom - they were very special to see - ❣your journal cover came out beautiful - absolutely beautiful and yes i've been inspired by the cover and what you did inside - thank you for the tip on how to create a Rolodex card - be well xx
Beautiful
That ship has sailed like my 9th grade haircut!! 🤣🤣🤣 I had bad haircuts in school, the mom did kinds!! 🤣🤣🤣
Great ideas for inspiration
wonderful time I spent watching your vid! 🦌💌📚
Love this, Nik! Thank you for sharing your tips, trix and ideas! :)
I loved both parts!!! You are so good!
Thank you for sharing your sweet family photos.
I love Christina Rosetti & will search out this poem.
Am I suddenly a booksmith groupie? Are there booksmith groupies? Hah. I've been watching these videos for hours and I can't stop. :)
Good idea for masking to paint the edges. Very pretty book.
Loved the photos of your mom and grandmother!!! AWESOME tips and ideas as usual. Now I'm definitely itching to make another journal! Yours are so inspiring 💗 💖 ❤️
Thanks again!
As ever, an informative and entertaining video from you! So...just how naughty were you?! 😄 all the best people were naughty fun-loving kids. Mx
😄 Oh so very naughty! Thank you, Margaret =)
Hi Nik, your such a fun lady to watch, thank you for doing this video because I sent you a new junk journaler. And this was perfect for her. See ya next time. Bye👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Loved all you showed TY.
I noticed the book had a N for Nettie 😂😁🥰🤟
😄 Thanks, Nettie!
Love your altered book❣
I think you do things the easy way and they turn out beautiful.
I love this 2 part series🥰! You definitely made it look simple to do. But you also made the embellishments easy. The book 📕 is not stuffed to the gills! I could actually use it as a writing ✍️ journal and add more things😁! Thank you for sharing, take care 🤗💕!
Always love your thought process and how clean your work is. I love all the writing space on your pages. Appreciate the review and I wish I had time to just make journals.
Stunning ending video to an amazing series. Thank you so much for all the hard work that goes into the content you publish for us!!
thanks, I appreciate your comment a lot more than I can express =)
