I have yet to make my first journal, but this one has given me so many beautiful ideas. Thank you Carol for sharing your talent and your time so that others can learn.
Carol, what a beautiful book. I have stayed away from altered books because they never turn out for me. I hope you do a tutorial from beginning to end. You are so creative.
Carol, sure wish I had caught this one before I altered a book a few weeks ago. So pretty! So many neat ways to do the pages. You are a genius with the “pockets”.
I am so glad I found this video of your teaching book. I love how you created it and its given me alot to think about and try. Thank you so much. You are an inspiration!
The green teal cover actually pops with the green and coffee died paper inside. I LUV the affect!! And the glint of the belly band charm is enchanting! wow, What an heirloom!
What a beautifully crafted journal. You have given me some wonderful ideas for my next project. I too love the simplicity of each page. Done so eloquently. Thank you so much for your tutorial.
Just found this Video amongst your others I was watching and find this fabulous as Altered books are my favourite thing to do at the moment. Thank you so much for sharing your creative ideas such a lot of food for thought.
I must agree. It has almost everything one can possibly want to learn on what to put into a journal to make it great. I'm in awe of Carol's talent and her genius mind. I'm telling everyone I know about this channel and Carol. Im crazy about this journal. But I dont have the beautiful delicate looking papers or stamps or lace. I must get some of this stuff when I can afford it. I'm so so happy to know this is going to be around for me to follow again and again.
I love your mind. It works so so well for teaching. It's like it's so full of ideas and wisdom for junk journals, altered journals and any other kind of wonderment in the paper world. It's an older vid I know but I love your work so much. I may have to copy many of your things inside this beautiful wonderful lovely fun intriguing journal. I can try for more descriptives but I know you wanna poke me in my eye by now so I will sign off. I love it Carol just love it can you tell
Love this, Carol! I love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your God given talent with us. I've never made one... not yet... but excited to begin. Thank you for the inspiration. ☺❤
WOW! this is one of the most beautiful and perfectly constructed journals I have EVER seen! Absolutely suberb!!! Fantastically done and demonstrated as well as giving credit where credit is due! well done. You have a new subbie! I look forward to watching more of your videos! Blessings, 💖 Andi
Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. This is a beautiful book. I would love to take a class from you but I'm across the pond. You have so many wonderful ideas in all your videos. Love them all. They are feminine and shabby chic and vintage all in one. Just my style...:)
Oh Wow! Thank you so much again Teresa - Im just catching up with comments so only just caught this. Youre very generous and its much appreciated :) xx
Carol hi, I've really enjoyed watching this video and have learned a lot as the Jane Austen journal I am preparing is an altered book design. Trouble was I wasn't sure how to add interesting papers into it. Seeing yours has given me some ideas to experiment with. Thanks so much.
This popped up in my recommendations. I’m already a very happy subbie who loves your videos. I was planning on doing the small inspiration one you did were you put written descriptions of how you did the pages but I think I’d like to combine both. I’ll just how to find out how to do the book to start with. Thank you for the idea 💡. Bye 💁🏼♀️
Hi Carol! It's amazing that altered book your inspiring it's lovely, Impecable crafted. I loved it sweet details, you are a genius, can you shaer us how did you add those envelope between pages, Thanks 🌺
This is a beautiful journal Carol! What an amazing compilation of ideas you have collected and demonstrated so well. Thanks so much for your time and effort to share it with us! :-)
Mrs Cog Thankyou so much for your lovely comment. It is very much appreciated as when you share your work with everyone it's a piece of yourself you share. Thank you 😊 x
Love this little book. Hoping maybe you would consider doing a tutorial on those last two pieces with the file folder look and the expanding pocket. Very creative! Thank you for sharing.
Carol, this is fabulous.. WOW!!! ... I love the whole book,but especially the last section, with the tab's and the concertina section, and the papers are gorgeous and subtle .. I love it
Thanks so much for sharing all the different techniques, styles, ideas of how to create different pages totally. Lovely teaching flip through. Can you show 'how to magnetize' a page. You explain things so easy to follow.
Thanks for your lovely comment and im sorry its taken so long to reply. Ive not been a well girl and my life is now taking a different route. I plan on doing more online tutorials so watch this space :) xx
Following on from the previous comment....I followed the link you gave for the tutorial to alter the book......this is my today’s project, must get cracking........bye 💁🏼♀️
Hello, Carol. Newbie question: When printing your beautiful cover photos what type/weight paper, and printer settings do you use? Your photos look so crisp and clear. Thank you.
Started one for Christmas a couple of years ago no idea where it is, if I remember correctly I messed up half way through🤷♀️ but when I rearrange my dysfunctional craft room maybe I will find it😂
May I ask where you got your Fleur de Lis corner punch showed on one of the first pages in the journal? Your response would be most appreciated!!! Thank you! Blessings, 💖 Andi
That makes sense. Every time I see it it's shown by someone over the pond. Thank you for your response. I'll have to see if they have a website. 💖 Andi
Now I feel the same way when I see stash from the US .... makes me want to cry :) wish we had the same choice and prices and coupons too! They do have a website but im not sure what their international postage is though. Here is the link www.hobbycraft.co.uk/coat-of-arms-corner-craft-punch-15-inches/614303-1000
Oh, thank you so much for the link. Perhaps we can do a personal swap of goodies. I'll have to PM you and see if you are interested in something like that. Blessings, 💖 Andi

Never judge a book by its cover, eh? Inside and out, a spectacularly beautiful book!
Started one for Christmas a couple of years ago no idea where it is, if I remember correctly I messed up half way through🤷♀️ but when I rearrange my dysfunctional craft room maybe I will find it😂
Do you think a spray sealant would work? Just curious, I am a newbie.
Beautiful journal
Thank you Krystyna :) xx
Beautiful.
Patt L Thanks for your comment. It is really appreciated 😊 x

Hi again Andi I live in the UK and got the punch from Hobbycraft. Im not sure if that would be any help to you really :)
That makes sense. Every time I see it it's shown by someone over the pond. Thank you for your response. I'll have to see if they have a website.
