kaylee
Aaaaw, thanks so much Kaylee! ❤️
I love these pages!! And the first page is definitely “worthy” of its position. The lace really made that focal point pop. 😍😘
Thanks sweetie! ❤️
Love the name of your channel!!! I love dragonflies!!
We have a lovely shop here in town called Tattered Treasures. They go to estate sales and bring amazing finds back. We found music pages from the 20's and 40's, letters from the 50's, vintage magazines, old hankies and even piano rolls!!!!
Sounds awesome! 😃👍🏻
I've always wanted to do an altered book junk journal. This is re-inspiring me to do one!
Wonderful 😊
I love how this is starting...I see what you mean how skipping around helps in varying the design...I’m liking how the variation in colors happened! Thanks for your great videos!
Thank you Carol! I’m happy you got what I was trying to say! 😂
Thanks so much Barbara! I’ve been looking forward to this video all week to get started decorating our pages. Your thought process is very helpful and your pages thus far are gorgeous. You’re a great teacher! Enjoy your week....big one for us here in the U.S.!!!!
Thank you Victoria and good luck for the elections! Actually they impact the whole world, so fingers crossed!!!! 😬
Great idea about the tea bag tags. I live in the USA but am definitely more of a tea girl so I am going to start collecting them. Love this project Barbara. It is going to be great💝💝💝
Thank you Cindy! ❤️
Gorgeous pages Barbara. I love watching your collages come together, they are always beautiful 😍
Working on a very different project, but getting inspiration from your approach on decorating pages🥰
Sending a hug 🤗❤️
Thanks sweetie! I’m very curious what you’re working on! 😃🥰
Always love your creativity 😍. Congratulations to the winner 🎉
😍😍 I love what you did! It’s gorgeous and very vintage style altered book. Thanks for sharing...and congratulations to luvrayn66,! Lucky you!!! Enjoy your goodies from her. 👌👌
Thanks Sonya! ❤️
I have been waiting for this 3rd video!!!!! I loved that you kept the pages simple but beautiful! Hoping I will be able to work on my book on Monday and congrats to the winner.....cyndi m.
Thanks Cyndi! Enjoy playing in your book! 😊
Me personally I wouldn't of used 3 stamps , I would have found other ephemera or used inked stamps behind the boot. We all do things differently that is why I always like watching other people. Beautiful work thanks for sharing
Congratulations to the winner. Love your pages. I am all inked and ready to go. Hope to get some pages done tomorrow. Blessings.
Thanks Lisa! Have fun with your book. I have a few more of these episodes decorating pages coming up, so no rush! 😃
This is my FIRST Junk Journal I am so excited...thank you
I’m excited for you! 😃❤️
I love all your pages you did today!!! Thank you…can’t wait to get going on mine. You are an inspiration!!💕
I love the choices you’ve made, all the pages look fabulous xxx💕
Congrats to the winner. This was very informative. Tfs
8yr old granddaughter and i did part one together, found our books, then did part 2 together…and now beginning part 3 together! Excited to see how this goes
So fun! 😃❤️
I've only made one junk journal so far but I was never in a hurry to "finish" it, and actually there are places to add more. I jumped around on it; adding to a page whenever I'd see something that fit a page. Thank you for the altered book pockets tutorial which I think I'll do next.
I think your method of randomizing is pretty brilliant.
Love how you decorated the pages, I am doing mine with you as well and most with your own digitals. Congrats to the winner :)
Thank you Karina! I hope you are having fun! 😊
I love how you refer to the British Queen as The Queen. Xx
😂😂😂
So awesome that you used a hotel ad from Detroit, Michigan. I grew up not too far from Detroit!!
Ooh you don’t have to be nervous because you always instinctly seem to know what you have to do to make a project awesome🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍
I loved to watch you do this 8 pages.
Stay safe and have good start in the new week.
Greetings Maia
Aaaw, thank you Maia! I hope you are following along with your own book! ❤️
I’ve been wanting to do an altered book journal for my precious daughter forever it seems! Thank you for explaining the steps slowly and precisely. 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks! Enjoy making your altered book! ❤️
Congratulations to the winner! Another great video, Barbara! I really appreciate it when you explain why you do things--like when to ink and how to put together the elements of a collage. I'm learning so much. Now I'll watch it again and decorate my pages!
Thanks so much Amy! I’m so happy my explanations make sense! 😃❤️
One of the many things I enjoy about your videos, and something that fairly few people do, is that you explain your choices in terms of color, texture, or why you do or do not use distress ink for different purposes. It's very useful to hear how something else thinks about that. Thanks for your lovely videos!
Thanks so much Theresa! I’m happy it’s helpful! ❤️
This is the best altered book tutorial I've seen! Thank you for making look so easy!!
Aaaaw thank you so much! ❤️☺️
I loved your explanation as to why you chose the green stamps vs red and why you ink somethings and not others. I think that’s helpful for people to make decisions on what and how to add pieces to projects and collages.
Thanks Amy! I hope it’s helpful! ☺️
I am throughly enjoying this series. You make everything fun. Your creativity is endless! Thank you so much.
Oh wow, thanks so mich for your kind words, Joy! 🥰
Very nice job Barb ......you gave me so much inspiration to continue with mine I was just waiting for this video to start thank you 😊 see you on your part 4 this will give me time to finish mine 🤗 🤗
Thanks! I have a few more episodes decorating pages so no rush! 😃
Barbara your pages are turning out beautifully. I can’t pick a favorite because I love all your focal points. Congrats to the winner. TFS! ❤️
Thanks so much Pam! 😘
I am going to start making these altered books. I super appreciate the other links you put. I have an idea to use it as support journals! This is just great:)
Your directions are so easy to follow. I have always thought you need to consider pretty much every page a 2-page spread. By that I mean there needs to be some sort of relationship between them in either color or theme. With your sense of design, I am sure when you get to the opposite pages of those you have already decorated, you will do exactly that.
I love how all the pages turned out! Now the pressure is on to keep up and get 8 pages done too!!!! Thanks for the inspiration 💕
Thank you Marybeth! Pls don’t stress yourself! 😊
I love that you have gone back to ‘it’s Barbara from Vienna, Austria. X
☺️❤️
What beautiful pages!! Thank you for sharing all your tips! They are very useful💖
Congrats to the winner!
I like how you glued the spine between pocket pages. Also that you had no idea where you were going to begin with, but still added collage to your pages to begin. It gives us hope when looking at blank pages.
Thank you Amy! I hope you are joining me for this project! ❤️
You are a very good teacher~you don’t rush~you talk your selection of what you’re going to do. I’m going to go through the co,plate series with you. I’ve been trying to decide what kind of a journal to make for my daughter for her birthday~which is in May. My decision has been made~THANK YOU!!! Blessings…
These pages are sweet and Pretty.
Congratulations to the winner 🎉
Congratulations to the winner! Thank you Barbara for doing this giveaway! Hugs💗
These pages are absolutely beautiful! 🥰💕 I love watching and listening as you work! And congrats to the winner! 🎉
Your tutorials make me smile! Congrats to the winner!
Aaaw, that’s awesome! 😃❤️
These pages are strikingly beautiful,pretty and adorable!🤩love all those..so many ideas☺..thanks for the inspiration!!❤🌸
Thanks Shimah! Are you decorating your book?
@@49dragonflies indeed! l was waiting for you ☺to make along with you😊❤journalling with you is way more fun🤗🤗❤❤
Love these pages and so enjoy listening to your thought process as to where to place items. The first page is lovely and the gold lace makes such a difference. Stay safe. Xxxx
Thanks so much Jennifer! ❤️
I’m going to start making these altar books also thanks for the help with putting in the pocket pages and the step-by-step process can’t wait for the rest of it to get started thank you again
What a joy to watch, learn and do. Thank you so much for being an authentic teacher.
Thanks so much! ❤️
They way you describe your thought process is so helpful! It made me realize (alas, half way through) that I wanted this journal to go in a Victorian Children’s direction since a lot of the images you suggested to download lend themselves well to that but especially because I was altering a book from my childhood- a Nancy Drew Mystery (is that just a mid-century American thing?) Fortunately, I have several more volumes in the series that I am going to alter and decorate accordingly. Best of all, you gave me the courage to utilize a piece of lace on the frontpiece pocket that I have had for over 25 years and just happened to be a sepia tone of brown that coordinated spectacularly!
Thank you so your kind feedback! I’m so happy hearing my thought process is helpful. Sounds like you are having a blast with your books, which makes me so happy! ☺️
They all are beautiful... As always ❤️🌹 congrats to the winner of you 20k giveaway xx 😊😊
Congrats to the lucky winner 😎💖 !!! And thank you, dear Barbara, for you amazing layouts 👏 !!!
Hello Barbara from Cape Town, South Africa. I am sooooo excited, i have found a book that i am going to be doing the Altered Book Journal with you. After this tutorial, I am going to start preparing the book. I can't wait to see what you do with the book. Thank you for all your inspiration and all the fabulous videos you post. They are most appreciated. And although we can't get your beautiful goodies here in South Africa, I am going to use what i have. THANK YO U once again. Blessings and love - Diana Fox
Thank you so much Diana! I’m so happy you are joining me for this project! 😃 which goodies can’t you get in South Africa?
Well, that was fun! I’ve been waiting for this video, and i love your “series of choices” for the pages you decorated here; they look great!
Congratulations to the winner!
Thanks Annie! ❤️
Loving this series of tutorials, seems less overwhelming than sewing in signatures etc. Thank you. This could be my first step into journaling, off to dig out some old books ......
Thanks Diana and happy book hunting! ☺️
It is so soothing to watch your videos. I love learning from you.
Aw, thanks so much! ❤️
Hi Barbara, it was lovely to watch your collaging and layering!!! Very inspiring as always!!! Hugs Maria xxx
Very inspiring video! I enjoy watching you go through your choices, it's interesting and takes me along on the journey. Amazing how it goes from nothing to something gorgeous!
I’m definitely going to do this. Can’t wait to see the process🎉😊❤Juju
Hi Barbara, I really like the blue page . It really makes a difference when you put the blue stamps on . You eye does see the whole page . Thank you . 🎄⛄️🎄
Thanks Fern! ❤️
I love the way you pair the colors on your pages. So pleasing to the eye! Keep up the good work. Hugs from Texas.
So many beautiful spreads, especially the first one! TFS 💕
I loved all your pages, but the blue one was just amazing. It’s looking great x
Thank you Tina! ❤️
It looks amazing❤️. You make collage look so easy. Congrats to the winner🎉
Love the first page. Love all your pages!
Thanks so much Dianne! ❤️
Congratulations to the winner ! Maybe next time for me ! Nice day💜
Love all your pages, you make it look so easy!
Such a wonderful and creative project! I am so glad and lucky to have you in the Digital Collage Club Creative Team! And by the way, I love your nails and like my nan would say, you have lovely pianist fingers:) Thanks for sharing Barbara, looking forward the next video. Hugs from Englad xx
Haha thanks Tina! So happy to be part of your team! You know I love your digis!!! I have my mom to thank for my hands ☺️
Congratulations to the winner. Dear Barbara the way you explain your collage technique is amazing and almost scientific, if I may say so. And, although it takes some o if the magic away, it helps us soooo much to overcome any hesitations and just go for it. I mean it's all about having fun, right? Thanks again. :-)
Thanks so much Stella! I’m so happy this was helpful! ❤️
Bonjour 😊
Je suis vraiment très contente d'être tombé par hasard sur votre chaîne TH-cam car c'est exactement ce que je cherchais 😊.
Milles merci 😁😁😁.
Continuez comme ça 😊.
Scrape bisous 😘😘😘
Congrats to luvrayn66!!
Nice layouts Barbara, I'm glad you explain your thought processes along demo-ing.
Now I'll have to come up a with a theme and gather supplies.
I was an Visual Art's /Art Education major and we we're taught the same thing you explained; "the bits make the whole= the Gestalt".
We we're taught to teach students that it's the process not the finished project as the most important thing in creating art. The art elements and design principles had to be used and if they weren't successfully done the finish project wasn't strong.
And yes one does get better with the practice of it.
You are a very good teacher Barbara. I hope you know that.
Thanks so much Roksanna! I’m so happy my tips are helpful! ❤️
So beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial. I will have a lot of fun!
Congrats to the winner loved your pages
I'm really loving this. The process is actually calming (you know, once the decisions are made 😉)
Congratulations luvrayn!!
Thanks Marti! Yes, very relaxing indeed! ☺️
You have made a few comments that really resonate with me. When I first start a journal before any decorations have started, I struggle with the direction I am going to go. It's almost like you need to tame the wild animal :-). Also, thank you for listing your collections from Digital Collage Club. I find that sometimes I get lost in that site and I don't find what I am looking for. Your lists really help me with that. I find I am using it more than I used to. Lastly, thank you for sharing your creativity. You channel is one of my go-tos with I am stuck. ❣
Thanks so much for your kind feedback! ❤️
I’ve started mine and I’m to this point. I haven’t started to decorate the pages yet. I’m excited to see what you’re going to do on your pages. Maybe I’ll work on mine tomorrow. TFS. Congratulations to the winner of your give away. Hugs 🥰
Thanks Sandra and have fun playing in your book! 😊
Thank you all the way to Vienna. I make and design patchwork quilts and you’re absolutely right, lots of decisions.
Lovely pages! Congrats to the winner ... enjoy your goodies!
Thanks Barbara, I watched the sewn altered book, thanks for the glued version. And I watched my first series that is not Dephemereber.
I joined the digital club. Thank you for sharing the link and for the discount! I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Happy to be here!🌹
Hi Shelley! I’m sure you will love Tina’s digitals! ❤️😊
Love the pages you embellished. I haven't made a book yet. Maybe I will. And congrats to the winner.
I am loving this altered book series!! I have done several altered books, myself. Including a Christmas recipe book that holds all of my holiday cookie recipes. I had learned how to do this from Gayle's video.
I love your style of decorating! And truly, love the way you explained the tearing out of the pages in your previous video. You are a great teacher! Thank you! Hugs 💕 Suzy
Thanks you again, Suzy! Gayle’s series is so fun as well! ☺️
Love it so much....I have picked my book and will get started folding pages 👍🏻 Congrats to the winner
Thanks Kristina! Have fun with this! ❤️
wunderbaar!!!!!! Can't wait to see what comes next. I love listening to your voice, it is sooo calming, and the way you work, inspiring. I'm also going to try
to do a new book, although i am going to try to do a Christmas one. Wish me luck. Thank you for your inspiring videos. Love and blessings Diana Fox - Cape Town South Africa.
Thank you Diana! I’m sure you will have fun with your book! 😃
You are an awesome teacher. Thanks so much for sharing your videos. I’m enjoying doing my pages along with you.
I love seeing your work come together, it’s very inspiring
What a super fantastic start to your journal! Love it . I've started my decorating with papers mine is Christmas themed and turning out fantastic if I do say so myself. I have a lot more to do. Thanks Barbara and congratulations to the winner.💜💜💜✌️✌️ Sherry
Thanks Sherry and I’m so happy your are having fun with your Christmas journal! 😃❤️👍🏻
Wow, coming right along. I have started my first altered book so it was great to get some reassurance from watching you. 👍🥰❤️
a perfect rainy day to decorate the pages. I have joined you step by step. thank you
Awesome Jodi! Have fun! 🥰
Very teachable video, I am so geared to do my own, you have an eye for color and how your video is not wasted on repetitive gluing.
The pages where the postcard has the "my lady's glove" I appreciated the explanation on how one picks out the color and combining it with the entire page. Attractive good first with the scary first page, the lace did the number. Thanks for reminding not to overthink and get started. Thank you for doing another very teachable tutorial
Congratulations to the winner. Thanks for another great video. I have been waiting for you to start, my book is ready to go. I am off to sort my ephemera.🥰💕
Thanks Margaret and have fun with your book! 😃
I love your journal and I am working with you 👍😀
A huge congratulations to the winner 👏👏🎊🎉
Hugs Tina 🍂🍁
Thank you Tina! I hope you are having fun with yours! 😃
Beautiful pages, great ideas as always. Thank you. Stay safe
This is turning out beautiful! I look forward to your videos.
Love this, especially the blue page and that first page. I saw Gayles videos and I'm in the process of making my first ever altered book journal using the Kirby Teesdale Studio paper pad and having so much fun. I think next I will try one like yours using collage papers. Thank you for sharing this process with us.can't wait to see more!
Thank you Vicki! Gayle’s series is awesome! 😃
Thank you so very much for this series. It is exactly what I have been searching for in starting my journal, made from an altered book. I love your videos and watch them daily.
Thanks so much and have fun with your journal! ❤️😊
So enjoyed this video. The lace works so well and makes such a difference!😻
Thanks Laurie! ❤️
