So happy that you enjoyed the words as well as the pictures... after all, books should have stories in them, shouldn't they?! Thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comment.
I so love your work. It is always dreamy and gorgeous. I adore Tim holtz projects and the many other things that you create. All are equally stunning. Thank you for the wide variety of projects you create, so inspiring ❤
Your work is truly beautiful! I'm continually amazed at how skilled you are at weaving such wonderful stories on each page, every element adds meaning that enhances the tale. I particularly love the story of the two families living in tenement housing, as it truly captures the heart of Christmas. Very few pieces have evoked such emotion in me as your tribute, "Lost and Found." Thank you once again for sharing your beautiful work. Blessings from Texas!❤
That's a wonderful comment to read... thank you so much for lifting my heart today. I'm delighted you enjoyed the storytelling as well as the art, and thank you for sharing your response to the Lost and Found pages... I'm so pleased to hear that it moved you.
Your altered books are absolutely beautiful!!! stunning. And your journal pages with the stories were wonderful and came to life with your story. So loved watching. Debs. ❤
So happy to hear you enjoyed the words as well as the pictures... after all, a book should have stories in it, shouldn't it?! Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment.
You're very welcome - happy you enjoyed the words and the pictures... after all, a book should have stories in it, right?! Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment.
Everything spoke to me in this one. You really are the queen of wintery beauty. This will be a rewatch for me all winter long! Thank you so much once again! 🤗🇨🇦🤗 Elizabeth
Thanks for sharing. Those covers with the windows are a great idea to expose around Christmas time. And of course I like your work in the journal, it's inspiring too. The boy with the ice skates is so Dutch 50ties-60ties. I had wooden skates in my youth. They eventually skated better than my later modern ones. Most nasty was that you needed to fasten the ties every now and then with almost frozen hands and wettened ties..
Oh yes, I can imagine tying wet skate straps with frozen fingers is not an easy (or pleasurable) task. Happy to have brought back some (not quite happy) memories for you!!
I love all of the Books Books Books videos and this one is my favorite so far! Love listening to your stories. You give me such inspiration! Off to the second hand store for some small books…I just have to try to make one💚❤️💚
Oh, it's so lovely to know that you are enjoying the words just as much as the pictures... after all, a book should have stories in it, right?! I hope you find some lovely old books to give new life to. Thank you so much for watching, and for your lovely comment.
Hello Alison! What an enjoyable experience! I clicked the link to your blog to find out all the details of those two friends thrown together. Along with so many other talents and gifts - you certainly have honed the art of storytelling. Maybe writing short stories using your own illustrations will be another venture you’ll explore at some point. I loved the two transformed book covers with the photos peering through the windows and all the lovely embellishments adorning them. I really loved the square art journal and how beautifully coordinated the layouts are. I laughed when you mentioned that lady being a bit greedy with 2 tokens. I love the idea of a daily challenge and preparing somewhat ahead of time whether in theme or gathered materials to enable it to stay fun and free and not become burdensome. Last year I did do daily collage for a couple three months or so. Most of them were in the pocket Moleskine 3.5 x 5 then I did a month of layouts in a 5x8 sketchbook. I loved it… I had acquired a lot of background papers, washi stickers, various ephemera, tickets, etc. and that made it fun and easy… I really need to think about doing that again. I’ve often had the desire (not strong enough to become a goal I guess) to be creative in some way everyday but it’s not usually practical but I still think it could be…. Anyway… I’m rambling… I will look forward to your seasonal tags during December and of course love Saturday mornings for a few minutes of fun. Take Care and have a wonderful weekend 🙂🎄 I got sidetracked but wanted to say how much I loved how cohesive those journal pages were and how lovely to carry the wintry vibe across so many pages. Then when you got to the Lost and Found page inspired by the war in the Ukraine with it’s fitting chaotic background, it was so profound and I was struck by the quote chip on the facing page, Rest In Peace… who would have thought you could use something designed for Halloween in such a moving way… amazing! ❤
Your rambling is always welcome! The journal was interesting... I hadn't planned to do it in advance. I did the first one, and had some paste left on my palette knife, so I put that onto the next page, and then the next morning I felt inspired to do another, and it was only on day three that I thought, "well, let's keep going!". But yes, it's a joyous thing when the momentum of daily creating kicks in. My creative energy is definitely sluggish at the moment - I'm finding it hard in the face of world events to find the will. I have to make myself go to the craft table. (There's lots going on creatively behind the scenes - new stamps in the pipeline and so on, so that takes up a lot of the energy, of course). I'm very happy that the Ukraine page had such a strong impact on you - thank you for that. Happy Sunday!
Hello again Alison… I’ve been thinking of you today and wondering how I might encourage you… and then the Ukraine page kept coming to my mind and I’m thinking… maybe… there’s another chaotic page inside you waiting to come out? -OR- maybe with the amount of work related creativity you’re already doing, there isn’t as much creative energy left for playtime so… maybe… since the change in weather is preventing working in the garden… it’s time to curl up with a good book! You are Words and Pictures, you know. Take Care ❤🙂
Oh, thank you for that, Sue... loved following your train of thought through the options, and yes, I am curling up with books as often as I can - mostly comfort re-reading, but it does the job! But also yes, I think there's some more that needs to be allowed out at the craft table - probably not for a few minutes of fun, but just for me... we'll see. But thank you again for thinking of me.
Brilliant... I'm so happy to hear you are inspired to play - that's the best possible response to these videos, that people are inspired to have a few minutes of fun of their own! Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment.
A very timely review of your Christmas altered books for me as I work on making a book inside an old hardback book cover. Funnily enough I had envisaged a window frame on my cover too and have the chipboard window frames on order for that purpose. I do love a seasonal project 🙂
A really enjoyable look at your journal ad altered book covers. As you know, I like hearing the stories about these adventurous people, going into the world together or by themselves. The festive pages had a lovely cohesion by repeating elements such as the snowflakes or colours. Thank you.
The book covers are awesome, but the journal goes to another level! I'm always amazed at the way you use (basically) paint and paper, but your art is never static. It pops off the page with life and emotions. Outstanding! I also watched the mistletoe video and wondered - how do you store all these beautiful pieces without damaging them (especially the ones with dried pods and seedheads)? BTW - my husband's immigrant grandparents came from Ukraine and lived in a NY tenement. Thank you for reminding me to visit the museum. It's been on our bucket list for years.
Oh, do try and get to the Tenement Museum... it really is fantastic - and full of stories! Thank you so much for that beautiful comment about the pages in this journal. I'm so thrilled to hear how they come alive for you. Most of the seedpods are not quite as fragile as they look. With a reasonable amount of care, they will survive gentle handling. Many of my tags live in crates in my studio, for flicking through for inspiration or for pleasure (you can see what I mean in these Shorts - www.youtube.com/watch? - so they are stacked upright and not squished. Or the seasonal ones are sometimes stored in larger wooden fruit crates (all picked up for free from supermarkets, and given a lick of white paint), with just some careful stacking and occasional layers of tissue paper (you can see that in yesterday's Reel on my IG if you can access Instagram - instagram.com/p/DDH79NpotU1/ fingers crossed). My mother's parents were both Czech, but her father's family were also originally from Ukraine (or Polish Galicia as it was at that point). They'd only been living in Vienna and Prague (Austro-Hungarian Empire made it all one place essentially!) for one generation at the point when my grandparents left for the UK (foreseeing what was on the way with Hitler & co). It's a small world, isn't it?!
That was a treat of beauty and texture, they were all wonderful. Thank you for inspiring me to add MORE texture in my journals. I got more crackle paste and just found some cheesecloth. thanks Alison!
So for the last few years I have been given an almanac. They always have very pretty covers and I am reluctant to throw them away at the end of the year...but they really are current books so only good for that year. I have begun to wonder about altering them, but don't know where to start. Have you got a video or two you would suggest I watch please and thanks.
They sound like perfect candidates to become journals. I haven't filmed anything on altering the covers (yet!), but if you want to start on the inside you could take a look at this one: Book page background - th-cam.com/video/KnJv3HypkX8/w-d-xo.html And it carries on here - th-cam.com/video/IX8xtM9Ylo8/w-d-xo.html I worked quite a lot inside the book before I got around to decorating the covers. And plenty of my journals on the go haven't had their covers altered yet, so there's no need to start with that if it feels intimadating. Have a play on the inside first! Having said that, I think, if I remember rightly, I talk quite a lot about how I made the cover of that same book in this flip through - th-cam.com/video/URbc-Oo7k00/w-d-xo.html That should give you a few ideas to get started with, I think. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Enjoyed your journal! But I'm a bit confused, the available photo packages I see available from Mr. Holtz always seem to be small in size, not the nice size you used here. Think they're old and from past collections? I think the bigger photos give you more to play with on a journal page. I'm thinking you must have a lot of supplies you've collected over the years. I've only been at this for 5 yrs or so. Takes time to build up supplies, especially when so many get discontinued. But I suppose they cant keep everything,, have to move on. You're blessed to have had access to it all! Thanks for sharing!
No need for confusion - I did say that I thought they were probably discontinued... and it also says in the description that they are from past years. Quite apart from anything else, these projects were all made years ago. I'm happy you enjoyed looking through them, nonetheless. Thank you for watching and commenting. (I've been going for about twelve years now, so yes, there's been longer to collect things. But you can still get older elements in back stock in online craft stores... and for instance, the Found Relatives seem to be here on Amazon www.amazon.com/Tim-Holtz-Advantus-TH93798-Relatives/dp/B07P9W48ZX - you just have to spend time looking. I did a lot of that when I started, and still do now - looking for old or discontinued or reduced stock. I like a bargain!)
Absolutely beautiful projects, but I would love to see the Holtz posse try their hand at being creative WITHOUT leaning, nearly entirely, on the crutch of having every Holtz product ever made. I wonder if it’s possible 🤔
@differenttakethanmost Well, I do often use his products, because I enjoy working with them, but I'm perfectly capable of working without them too. I do a lot of watercolour painting. And as a designer of stamps for PaperArtsy, I frequently work with those - which include my own botanical sketches - and their paints and mediums. And I can be creative with just a pen and a piece of paper. If you do any exploring on my Instagram or here on the channel, you'd find plenty of other things. Since you say you would love to see what happens when I don't "lean" on Tim Holtz, perhaps you would like to look at some of these videos... Botanical watercolours - th-cam.com/video/_3h6AdAlrCg/w-d-xo.html My stamp designs and Mattint gel printing - th-cam.com/video/Rfod8-VvmAc/w-d-xo.html Gel printing with real leaves and Golden paints - th-cam.com/video/vqbLGeVjfbM/w-d-xo.html Watercolouring my PaperArtsy tissue paper, including my own botanical drawing stamp designs with Daniel Smith paints - th-cam.com/video/AMisrNYVfRo/w-d-xo.html Acrylic painting exploring light and landscapes - th-cam.com/video/GsUoUtbBXxA/w-d-xo.html Handmade book from gel prints made with natural materials and my PaperArtsy quote stamps - th-cam.com/video/lCP5JpwYs0M/w-d-xo.html Accordion album with my own pen and paint mark-making - th-cam.com/video/514YGsfou6Y/w-d-xo.html Gel printing with my stamps and PaperArtsy Fresco paints - th-cam.com/video/Ooqn-7DoXVI/w-d-xo.html There are more. Some things I create are part of my private practice, so it's not shared. It's a fact of social media life that there is audience interest in things made with Tim Holtz products, and so that tends to be one of the focuses here. (Many people have the TH products and aren't really using them - I take great joy when people say that watching my videos has encouraged them to get out and play with art supplies they have bought and never used before.) But it's only one of the focuses... I hope you'll take some time to explore the videos I've linked for you - not a Tim Holtz product in sight. Thanks for your interest, and your comment.
Fabulous festive inspiration. I love the stories as much as the art 😊
So happy that you enjoyed the words as well as the pictures... after all, books should have stories in them, shouldn't they?! Thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comment.
I so love your work. It is always dreamy and gorgeous. I adore Tim holtz projects and the many other things that you create. All are equally stunning. Thank you for the wide variety of projects you create, so inspiring ❤
Thank you so much for that heart-warming comment... you've put a big smile on my face. Happy weekend to you.
Your videos are soothing to the restless mind ❤
That is really great to hear - thank you so much.
As always, you never fail to inspire me!!! I’m off to buy some old books!❤❤❤
Excellent... hope you'll find some lovely old books to give new life to! Thank you so much for your company on this creative journey.

I’ve learnt so much from watching you today Alison! Beautiful and thoughtful creations, in part what I admire most about your artistry. Thank you 🥰🤗
That's such a lovely response, Sheila - thank you very much.
I love the stories you "write" for each of these TH paper dolls. So imaginative.
So happy that you enjoy the words as well as the pictures - thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
Thanks for showing your😊 work and sharing the stories behind it.. have a lovely Christmas
You're very welcome - happy you enjoyed the words and the pictures... after all, a book should have stories in it, right?! Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment.
Everything spoke to me in this one. You really are the queen of wintery beauty. This will be a rewatch for me all winter long! Thank you so much once again! 🤗🇨🇦🤗 Elizabeth
Oh, what a lovely thought... repeat winter viewings are very welcome!! Thank you so much for your company and your lovely comment.

Thank you very much - happy you like them.
Those are delightful. I really enjoyed your art.
I'm so happy to hear that. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
I love the tenement story!
Thank you... If you ever visit New York, I highly recommend the Tenement Museum - definitely top of my list.
Beautiful!!! 😍😍😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much.
Wow! You are so talented! I love what you made! ❤
That's really kind of you - thank you!

I love your stories and art ideas. So beautiful and intricate. Thanks kindly for sharing Alison❤️🇨🇦🌲
Happy you enjoyed the stories in these books... a book should have a story, shouldn't it?! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
A really enjoyable look at your journal ad altered book covers. As you know, I like hearing the stories about these adventurous people, going into the world together or by themselves. The festive pages had a lovely cohesion by repeating elements such as the snowflakes or colours. Thank you.
A book should hold stories, shouldn't it?! Thank you so much for that lovely, thoughtful comment - much appreciated.
I love your books and the stories you have created xx
Well, books should have stories, shouldn't they?! Very happy you enjoyed it all so much... thank you.
Sooo AWESOME ❤😊
Happy you enjoyed it all, thank you!
