Oh Barbara, what perfect timing. I started junk journal making four years ago (that’s when I started watching you, Louisa and all the rest) but for the last two years I have been in a slump. Two weeks ago I started watching vid os again and lo and behold there you were working on your daily planner. When I saw the Muse papers I fell in love and my mind seemed to engage again.. I went to your Etsy store and found the kit but didn’t know what to pair them with so I was once again stuck. Then today happened and I am so thankful you have come up with a “kit” to help us all. Etsy…here I come
Thank you so much for this really helpful tutorial Barbara ! Choosing digital pages is not very hard, but finding matching neutrals is... So I really appreciate this video. A month ago, I discovered it was way more easy to print all digital pages first frontside (or recto) and then put them back in the printer to get a nice matching backside (or verso, as I call it). I'm sitting on the edge of my chair to discover part 2. In the meantime, I want to thank you for sharing and exchanging with us, your experiences and talent which are truly very useful. I'm sure that making videos must take a lot of time and energy and therefore, I'm very grateful that crafters like you, Luise and many others want to share that with us. So once more : thank you for helping us out and for your sunny and positive way of explaining everything! I love you too ❤.
Barbara, I like the idea of putting together a personal journal to expand my creative journey. Using your printable pages makes for an easy start. Thanks for the great instructions.
Yes, I need this from you Barbara, I've watched you for sometime now and really like the way you embellish paper for journals. I hope to learn more from you than I already have. Thanks for these type of videos 😊
Yes, yes and yes. That is Barbara, she makes journals. She makes the prettiest journals. She is a journal wizard. She is a journal guru. She is the master of journal makers. U-HUUUU! Vote for Barbara. What? It's not election time yet? Oh, well, vote anyway! I will never get tired of watching you make ...... just journals. Love ya, mouuuuuats!
Oh this is such perfect timing, couldn't believe it when video came on. 😂 I am planning on doing a journal for my daughter with the autumn muse kit, beginning next week. Can't wait till you do the cover - I am usually not happy with mine so look forward to seeing what you do. I have never particularly liked sewing in journals until I saw your sewing in them, so I'm planning to give it a go. 😅😅 Have a great week.
I’ve been making journals for over 4 years, but I’m so excited to watch this series. Thank you for doing this. Sometimes we need to be reminded of the simpler things. Love ya, 💙💙💙. And omg, what a beautiful collection of your digitals, I do believe I have them all, I’ll have to go and check 👏👏👏
Barbara, I had already decided to make a journal with your autumn muse kit after seeing it in your plan with me video. I have gotten as far as printing out the pages and choosing backing pages.Now I can journal along with you. What fun! I am also including your klimt girls in this journal. These are fantastic papers to work with.
I am in a Chistmas journal right now, 4 signatures. I always do the pages/signatures first in my process! Right now I have a Christmas gift bag for my cover, so I am restricted to page size! It feels the reverse to me. 😅 I will watch your process with this journal.😊Looking forward also to you continuing in the other journal with lady on a reddish background cover. THAT has interesting signatures!❤
Barbara: this year I’m going to create a more decorative everyday journal for myself. I can’t help think that watching you and others have influenced me. Nothing that anyone else has ever done, but just different for me. I had a journal tucked away for years with blank pages. I will be using magazine cut outs, color inks, and anything else I might enjoy and love. Again, nothing special, but just different for me. I think I’m going to have a lot of fun with this simple idea. Thank you, Carol from California
Your digitals are really beautiful and the added papers go together so well. This will be a gorgeous journal. The pretty papers make you want to dive right in and start creating.
Barbara, back here commenting after a long time. I always was in awe of your talent, creativity and amazing journals but I felt they were complex processes for my time constraints. But of all the videos on YT, I always remembered one of your videos where you showed basics of choosing papers etc and I needed another like this video to get me started! I have many ideas like botanical theme, bird theme journals and even have plenty of papers etc but somehow couldn’t get started. So I kept making lots of embellishments of all sorts as a collection for a “some day” journal. Now I think I’m going to jump in and make one, even though I’ve made 2-3 other intermediate complexity journals lol. Your images are gorgeous!! Sorry for the long comment but love all you do ❤
Barbara. I thought of Klimt a moment before you mentioned your inspiration. I am stunned by the beauty you created, by the I’m sorry, I don’t know how to say this, the very high level of beauty. I think in tv and movies it would be called production values. Permisso from the gods of art to say I think Klimt would have said, Come aboard, Barbara. Rolling lushness, royal fall colors, I don’t have the words right now. Also, specifically, the black outlines, the black hair provide so much definition and perhaps elevation. I can hardly believe a mere mortal created these images, but that would be you! Gonna get me some, even though I’m not used to working with human images. These would be a joy to look at any/every/all the time.
I can’t get enough of watching you make journals! The Autumn Muse ladies are so gorgeous. I wish I had a good printer because I would buy these in a heartbeat!!! Looking forward to every video on making this journal. Thanks so much for sharing your process. ❤❤❤
I have loved your tutorials on making your soft cover journals out of a paper bag. I’ve made two so far and want to start making another one for the beginning of new year. I’ve followed your example of cutting the digital papers and glueing them on to the signature pages but seeing this way of just folding them and using them for the signature pages is less work so I’ll be following this method for my next journal make. Thank you for your tutorials…..very inspirational!!
Deine Digitals harmonieren so schön miteinander und die Zusammenstellung mit den neutralen Papieren, einfach nur perfekt schön! 😍 Ich freue mich schon darauf, wie es weitergeht ☺
I love your journals. No printer so no digitals for me. I also don't have a huge stash of interesting papers but I shall just have to continue stopping my hubby from throwing away things he considers junk !!
Thank you for introducing us to Klimt art. I thought of you when I watched the movie- 'Woman in Gold.' Thank you for sharing your country's history with the rest of us! 😊❤🍁
Hi Barbara! ❤ amazing video and papers! I am joining you for sure! Thanks for the wonderful kits, amazing videos and always a lot of inspiration! Have a very nice day! ❤
Wrt to duplex printing: For those with printers with duplex printing feature, it’s easy/fast to print both sides at a time imo. I use MS word or equivalent, I open the front image (girl for example) and back page image (bubble design) and select double sided printing. It’ll go pretty fast. This way feeding the paper layer to print in the reverse side and not over print on the same side etc issues can be avoided. But if printers don’t have duplex feature, then one at a time. One rule of thumb is that if your paper is feeding from back tray, they come out straight as is. If paper is fed from the front trays, it’ll roll inside and prints in the back. Hope that helps someone 😊
It looks like it’s going to be a lovely journal. I will definitely be watching but I have so many other projects going right now, Including “Dephem………”, that I just won’t have time! The papers you chose are just beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Yay 🙌I'm about to put my Granddaughter's together so the refresher is super helpful! I made LOADS of AI images for her (she's 5 and into unicorns and rainbows😄). I love Klimt and your kit😍. Oh curated kits are a fab idea 💡. Yep, overwhelm myself🙈. I'm really into orange right now too😍. I just figured out double sided successfully😄 it's the same technique (epson workforce). Ooh I just dropped a rusty paper reveal video! Lol finger bone folder🙊. Looking forward to watching and making my first of this style! Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖
Thank you! I struggle with how to determine number of pages per signature, how many signatures and how wide my spine needs to be. Is there a formula that would help with that?
Your digitals that you sell are we allowed to make a journal and sell the journal if I purchase your digitals some digitals I hope you understand what I’m trying to say love this digital set
TFS. Happiest World Kindness Day! Celebrated by doing Random Acts of Kindness. I challenge everyone to act that way everyday, imagine what a wonderful world this would be. Huge HUGS and Peace. Namesta 🕉️🐞☯️
Liebe Barbara, ich liebe deine Autumn-Girls und ich hätte Lust direkt mitzumachen…Aber ich bin gerade an Weihnachtsjournals und möchte noch ein Depheremember Journal machen…Ich habe jedoch tatsächlich schon eine Idee für deine hübschen Mädels 😉 Liebe Grüße Anke 🤗

Barbara, I like the idea of putting together a personal journal to expand my creative journey. Using your printable pages makes for an easy start. Thanks for the great instructions.
The papers are stunning. In fact, the ones with the ladies are too pretty to use for anything but framed and hanging on a wall!!! Love them all.
Aaaaw Thank you so much! ❤️
Hmmmm now I may buy the kit and do that too on my craft rom wall! Of course I want to make other projects too ❤
Yes, I need this from you Barbara, I've watched you for sometime now and really like the way you embellish paper for journals. I hope to learn more from you than I already have. Thanks for these type of videos 😊
What beautiful digitals, Barbara! You put them together so beautifully too! Looking forward to part 2. Thank you! ❤
Thank you so much! 😃❤️
I don’t buy a lot of digital kits but I bought this one because it is so beautiful. ❤
Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️☺️
