- My shabbydabbydoodah's DT journal is COMPLETE!!! Lol. This is a nautical monster of a journal filled with a plethora of vintage, tangible illustrations from books dating back to 1887 and some from the '50s. This hardcover beauty is 7.5x5 inches, 3 signatures with over 150 pages front to back. Plenty of hidden writing spots, magnetic closures, modified hardware flip outs, illustrated vellum pockets, laminated tags; several petite booklets, fabric collage galore, and a removable, interactive accordion fold (thank you, Priscilla, for the brilliant idea. Much love to you girl!!) and many other little interactive goodies.
Tina's beautiful "Maiden Voyage":

The beautiful images I used for the die-cut on the book cover comes from a talented digital artist on Etsy whose shop is called PaperElement. I used the Nautical Scrapbook Paper. The Etsy link is here: www.etsy.com/l... ga_search_query=nautical&ref=shop_items_search_5&crt=1
The gorgeous fibers were purchased from this Etsy shop (I love you Shasha!!!!):

I bought some ephemera from this wonderful shop called BurkeSevenVintage

I used some of The Graphic's Fairy images to create a few of the pages. I have their premium membership, but they have many images that they give freely. Please check out their site:

The books that were salvaged and repurposed to help create this beautiful journal:
1950s book: Book of the Seven Seas by Peter Freuchen (I love this book so much that I purchased one that's almost brand new for the one I owned was missing pages and the back cover)
1887 book: The English Illustrated Magazine

Oh, WOW! This is the most spectacular journal I've seen! It's so cool! Love all the fold outs, pockets, and flip pages. The blue and green colors are my favorites.
😍🥰😍👍😎👍🤩❤🤩
I especially like the accordion insert and the flip-out with the sea green lattice trim. Your books are such a treat for the eyes. Lots to see! Thank you.
Another glorious journal. I LOVE tall ships and 19th century nautical images. Fabulous, girl, just fabulous. XX
This journal is gorgeous & a real credit to you. I envy it's owner& hope they treasure it.😊
I'm not sure why TH-cam showed this in my feed, but this is incredible!! What a stunning work of art!! 💖❤️
Loved every bit of this! Really love the miniatures. The accordion fold with all of the tiny surprises was fabulous! The removable accordian fold was nice idea. I have 3 beach theme journals to do. Thanks for the ideas.
This is gorgeous ! ❤love the accordion center ! Such a great idea !
Absolutely stunning--what a gorgeous gorgeous creation--a piece of ART--just W🤩W!! Adding it to my New Theme Thursday HEROES playlist 🤗😉😎
Beautiful journal and great video without ages of babbling.
This book is one of my favorites ❤
Thank you so very much, Kathy!!!! I want to make another one soon!! I love nautical themed.
I know exactly what you mean about the 1800s book pages... the texture, acidity. I have a set of 1800s med school biology books I inherited from a family member. I don’t know that I could use pages in a journal due to the content. Somehow I ended up with the amputation editions. It looks more like a serial killers guide to dismemberment. Too bad though, I love running my fingers over the smooth somewhat glossy pages. The color and smell...everything about them I love.
I would love to get my fingers on an antique nautical book. Being from Kansas, the ocean is something that exists only in my dreams. I especially love the beautiful intricate wooden sail ships of the past. Something about the pride they put into their art of carving the wood, the engineering...all of it. Even when I imagine the 1800s ocean full of sail ships and pirate ships... I picture it in a different color. 🤷♀️ weird. Anyway, I love how beautiful this journal is. I especially love the images of ships you chose. Stunning as always.
Maddie!!!!!! What an amazingly gorgeous journal. You always put so much work into your journals and this is no exception. We are so alike as I love anything ‘mini’ and all the hidden tucks and pockets etc. And I had to laugh when you said you were hiding in the closet to do your voiceover so your husband couldn’t hear you. I too refuse to film while my partner is around to hear me. How funny! You have outdone yourself. I love everything about this journal. Xx
Paper Inspirations awww!! Thank you Sue!! I just now saw your reply! Yeah, I can't record with him nearby because he will tease me to no end and will undoubtedly try to find a way to be heard on my TH-cam videos in regards to "smudging!!" Lol. And I'm already shy as it is!! Ah well, lol. Such is life. Thank you for the compliments. They mean a lot to me! I'm putting the finishing touches to your renaissance/medieval style journal and truly hope that you'll love it as I know it will be the first of its kind in your collection!! I know it's not something you'd typically go for, so I hope to not disappoint especially since I'll be adding elements that I know you'd like into it without detracting from the theme. So I'm taking extra care with yours, 🥰🥰
gorgeous..yyou are my favorite journal maker of all time..You have inspired me so much..esp my last junk journal..Thank you for sharing all of this beautiful work with us..I am grateful.
The most stunning journal I've ever seen made, truly!
Omg, what a stunning journal, I love, love, love it!!!! Everything is soooooooo stunning. I love your centre accordion fold bit, it looks awesome. Thank you so much, great job x
Thank you Tina!!!! I'm glad you liked it. I realized after I posted up the video, that I had forgotten to add the captain's written journaling pieces that I cut out from one of the nautical books. I ended up adhering the "captain's log" bits throughout the book before mailing it to the lovely lady that purchased it. Can't have a captain's log without the log, lol!!
I love the nautical theme and beautiful colors throughout the journal. Such lovely work- thanks for sharing
Commenting as I watch, I love the sequins on the envelope, it looks so much like the sea, mermaids etc, love it x
That's exactly what I was thinking when I used the sequins!!! Made me think of the ocean!
This is so special! I would love to have bought it myself - congratulations to the lucky buyer! I so much enjoyed watching your video. Thank you!
Wow your journal is outstanding 😊
So beautiful. Absolutely love it.
You are so talented, this is really a fantastic journal, luvvvvv it❤
absolutely beautiful
Aww, thank you Elisa!! I hope my next nautical themed journal is just as beautiful if not better, lol 😂 😂😂😍😍
So beautiful..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how this came out! That insert is perfect! Thanks for the shout out! The captains daughter is a sweet touch and I love your little collage tabs. Lovely work. TFS 💕
Thank you Priscilla!!! Girl, that was a brilliant idea and I was able to finally finish the journal because of you, lol. Thank you!!!!
So much love in this journal 🥰 thank you for sharing this, very inspirational 💖🙏
😍😍😍thank you!!! I still miss it because I love it so much!!!!! 😂😂 I realized before I gave it to the recipient that I'd forgotten to add the "captain's log" bits throughout the book. I had a pile of written cutouts from a captain's diary that I'd planned on gluing to certain pages. I'm glad I caught my slight before I mailed it to her. I just wished I could have done it before recording this video. Can't have a captain's log without his diary!! 😂
Btw I also struggled tremendously printing on vellum but I discovered that to do it easily you just spray a little 3M repositionable spray mount onto plain printer paper and stick the vellum to it - then you just print as normal - game changer honestly!
Bonjour , What a wonderful journal with season's theme....you've made a great work ,each detail , each paper is nicely chosen and added..Your accordeon folder is such a fabulous idea !!. Love love this big blue guy with all its ephemeras ...TFS ,you've got a new subscriber, from France..
Have a nice day.
Thank you!!! I love it too!!!
"Oh Captain, my Captain"..... thank you for letting us sail the seven seas with the entrancing, attention to detail log book/journal you have so masterfully & magnificently created!! Be still my beating heart-I just love old sailing ships & galleons and you have captured the romance of it so perfectly! Oh Maddie, I am speechless with awe!! This is AMAZING! Your intricate work, the tiny details, the telescope charm, the rope and chain, your secret pockets, your choice of public domain images, yes EVERYthing, is a stunning work of art. Your imagination & knowledge of the topic knows no bounds. And the removable accordion center page is genius! LOVE your work and style hun! Keep it up because your "smudging" (wink) is SUPER inspiring!!!! TFS. Huge hugs. XX PS. I just subscribed-yay!
Medieval Mirage 😍😂😂😍😍 I had to pick up the bottom half of my gaping mouth when I saw your comment!!!! Thank you for the best compliment I've ever!!!! What a beautiful way to begin my day!! Thank you Jarf!! You make me feel like I can move mountains, lol!!!
Beautiful and stunning! 💙💙💙
Thank you!!! It was one of my favorite journals to make and indeed my favorite theme right after nature/woodsy themes. 😍😍🥰🥰
An absolutely gorgeously stunning journal! Wow! Very very beautiful. And I'm happy to be a "smudger" - lol!
Lol!!! Thank you so much!!! And I'm proud to be a "smudger" too!!! Lol. Goodnight!!!!
O my god these is super creative mam this is the wonderful jor nal😊😊😊😊😊
Wow! I know this is an old vid, but I must say how beautiful it is! Your style is very similar to mine so I’m especially enamored by this!
FYI... I’m like you w the telescope charms as well. I have a handful of movable prayer wheel charms. I ordered then from Etsy for a Buddha journal I made for a friend. Although Im not Buddhist...I fell in love w the charms... which I now hoard and have difficulty giving away. 😂 And DAMN!! The BEAUTIFUL images of vintage sail ships literally made my heart skip. (I’m a dork) Your laughter thru the video had me rolling. You’re goofy, too. I had fun watching. At 19:04- Th gold trim you purchased from Michaels, Did you cut it to make it look like a sea horse...or is that me hallucinating? 😂 It sure looks like an abstract sea horse! Ok... I could let my special brand of adhd take over and post a novel, so I shall go! Glorious book!!!
finally can see these stunning pages! So impressive those details! I love your little decorations on the edges. They really add many colors and fantastic feelings to the journal!
Thank you!!!! I love creating the details that help add to the theme and style of the book!!
You have inspired me to make a nautical journal. I have an ancestor Capt Tristan Hillman who was second in command on a ship called The Invincible. I live in a Maritime province in Canada so the ocean is about an hour from where I live.
Fiquei apaixonada pela sua arte...lindo, subscrevi porque não quero perder nada...👏
What a wonderful video, and what a FANTASTIC journal! So beautiful it's unreal! Obviously you are supremely talented. /All the best from Ditte
Gurk Meja aww Ditte!! I’m reading this at work and you’ve made me so happy!!! What a wonderful way to start my work day!! Thank you!! The only thing I left out of the video was the actual “captain’s log/writing” bit. They were actual journal entries from a sea captain book to which I had cut certain excerpts out and would then paste them to random pages in that journal. It was one of my favorite journals to make.
This journal is knock-me-flat gorgeous! I love it :)
This is absolutely amazing! So much detail and fun little extras. Great job!
Hootin' Annie's thank you!! Lol, I'm all about the details!! 😆
This thing is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen!!!!! Amazing! I can't find words for this beautiful work! U are really talented! Luv it!!!!
^^
Cennet Melisa öztürk thank you!!!
This is just gorgeous! I am so inspired by it!
So agree with the daughter, love it
Beautiful
I love my Epson printer, but yes, Vellum does present a problem. I wondered if there is a sensor to detect when paper is loaded and ready and so it doesn't 'see' vellum ? Then I found that I have similar problems with tracing paper. Sticking the transparancy with double sided tape to a sheet of plain paper helped - BUT ONLY WITH SOME BRANDS OF VELLUM, not all ! Vellum Jim, but not as we know it . . . .
stunning
Thank you!!!!! I think mermaid journals are easier than nautical ones for some reason, lol. So this took me a bit longer than usual!! 😂
So gorgeous. How did you make or where did you get the picture frame on the front cover?
Your captain book is so beautiful and so creative! It has captured my interest and if you hadn't sold it I would have bought this! I am now trying to make my own, notice I said trying lol.... it will never be as good as yours but im going to try hard. You mentioned some of the images are from Public Domain but I can't find that company on etsy. I found Tina's beautiful things also I found the book you talked about on Amazon. Also if ok to ask where did you get your front cover image it's beautiful. I can't say enough about how wonderful your journal is. Thank you for sharing and inspiring! 💙
Your book will be ten times better than mine, I just know it!!! It will be beautiful!! I would love to see your work because I know it will be gorgeous!!! If you have an email, I can try to email you the cut file that I used for the front piece. It took a while to clean it up in photoshop and make it ready for my Cricut Maker. I spent many hours making that die cut. I think I still have it somewhere. I use card stock that had almost a glossy sheen to it and I used metallic paint for the edges. The images on the inside of the front piece, I found on Etsy and thank you for mentioning it because I entirely forgot to add the link to the bio which I did as soon as I saw your comment, so this is the Etsy link for those images to the die cut: www.etsy.com/listing/219923150/nautical-scrapbook-paper-nautical?ga_search_query=nautical&ref=shop_items_search_5&crt=1. Some of the "public domain" images come from Wikimedia Commons. It's a site where you can find a lot of vintage and antique images that are copyright free to use. The other images come from the Graphic's Fairy. I have their premium membership but they also have a lot of free public domain images that you can download from their site thegraphicsfairy.com/ I hope this helps and thank you for your encouraging thoughts on my work!! Take care and stay safe!!!
You are SO sweet to get back to me! I see now where it's a die cut. Im new to all of this and I don't have one of those machines. That's ok I'll make a cover it just won't be as beautiful. I live right by the ocean in Monterey California and I have always wanted to put together a book that I could write all my adventures by the sea and at the warf in and when I saw your journal I knew that's what I wanted. I have watched your video a dozen times. I bought a printer just so I could make this. Your work is beautiful!!! I now get that "public domain" is not the name of a shop but a place to get images open to the public lol... I was going nuts looking for an etsy shop with that name Haha. Thank you for the links and maybe after all this craziness I may try to get a die cut machine and have you send me your pattern. I hope wherever you are in the world that you stay safe and well and tell your husband you have a new "Smudger" aka subscriber! Lol!!! Roxanne X♡
Rox Angel Well, my fellow smudger, lol!!!If I still have that image, I can use my cricut maker to cut it out for you and mail it to you. My email is craftylore@gmail.com. Just email me your address and I’ll send it out to you. It will be whatever size I used for my Captain’s Log journal, I just don’t remember what the dimensions were. I can send it with or without the images that I used for the windows of the diecut. Let me know!!! 🥰🥰
I just got home and found your message, I can't believe you'd do that!!! I would GLADLY pay you. I will email you my info. Your the sweetest Smudger I know! Lol.. 💙
Love...love...love😍😍😍
CraftyLovre Did you do a video on the accordion page, can you please let me know
I want to see a journal that someone has written in( not necessarily what they wrote..can be blurred) just to see the third dimension to junk journaling.
I know what you mean. It’s one thing getting a pretty journal, but a whole different story writing in one or seeing one complete with a person’s thoughts and whatnot. I show some of my personal journal in my only, “journal with me” in this video, embarrassing that it is, but I hope this helps. th-cam.com/video/IIEpp5iJ6Ec/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the ideas & it was so refreshing to not see mermaids 😂
love your journal need to stop lifting the journal up for us to look out it takes to long to come into focus and makes you dizzy if we want to look closer we can do it our selves hope this helps you channel
Hi New Subbie here showing some support, I hope we can support each other! Your journal is amazing & filled with so many wonderful papers, embellishments & special touches! TFs1
Thank you!! I just subscribed and I'm excited to start crafting to your videos!!!
Beautiful
