I love these little golden books. Brings back memories of my mom reading these to me and my brother when we were little. I wish I still had them. I donated them a long time ago to a family who lost their home in a fire. But I am keeping an eye out when I go thrifting. These are great keepsakes. Thanks for sharing.
I can’t believe you did 12 LGB JJ’s! WOW 🎉 Way to go. And so excited you kept the Golden spine. Those ARE the book and so many crafters cut them away. And I’m a huge Friends fan too 🥰👏🏻👏🏻
Yes lil you did it again for all crafters who respect vintage books especially these, you saved the gold3n strip the book is worth alot not removed awesome lili ❤ lol kk nz
I loved this video! I think you are such a talented woman and I saved this so I can go back to see these wonderful journals again. They are chock full of wonderful ideas and are a delight for the eyes!
I love your work and the preservation of the Golden spine!! I love bunnies so much...and have had many over the years. So, I chose The Egg Book! Thank you so much ❤️
I actually grew up reading a lot of these books as a kid cuz I was born in1999 XD and this just brings back memories XD and I love all this creatively you did with the gold parts of the books! XD
Hi Lily! These are so cute!! I love them. And 12 of them!!?? I am actually working on my own LGB at the moment. I am doing collab with my niece. She is an artist and she is going to draw some characters for me. The one i am doing is Beauty and the beast. Keeping the whole story in there and also saving the golden spine. This is the first Golden book i will be doing. It is exciting! Thanks for sharing all of your sweet LGB. They are beautiful. You are super creative! Have a beautiful day!!
Hello and thank you so much for your kind words. It is so great to hear you are working on your first LGB (it definitely won't be your last, lol) How awesome you have a niece to collab with...so fun! Wishing you a fantastic day!
Woody Woodypecker…. Oh my, thank you so much for showing this 🤩. I have to tell you something, I was born in Transylvania (I‘m German and live in Germany since I was 7 until now). As a kid we had a TV programme only once a week on Sundays I think between 1 and 3 pm in Romania but I remember sooooo well that they were showing Woody Woodpecker, I still can make that sound (hehehe he he). I have to try to find a second hand book somewhere now 😅 You have brought me to make these envelopes, now I‘m also into Rolodex cards and now I‘m watching junk journals 😅 I love the idea but am not quite sure what to use them for or how to use them. I normally make cards (often clean and simple 😅) but I’m open to new ideas and have a lot of papers….
Thank you for sharing your story. I, too remember Woody Woodpecker from my childhood. I'm so happy to know you are watching from Germany, thank you! Junk Journals are no different from a diary or regular journal...the big difference is that the Junky ones are made from of the most random of treasures. Some items are old, others new, some thrifted and mostly found. Mix it all up and Voila! you have a junk journal to document all your heart desires. :) Hope that helps, hehe. ;)
@@LilianGuerrero yes, I love the idea, I love collages and will start a journal 👍 I have a lot of material 😄 I really like your attitude that you encourage people to do their own thing. Looking forward to your next videos 🙋🏻♀️
First, these 12 journals are absolutely beautiful! Love how they all look. My favorite was woody wood packer. It reminds me of my childhood❤ Anyhow, you are definitely super woman to be able to find time to run everyday and make these beautiful JJ! You are one amazing person. Thanks and keep on sharing your fabulous work!! Good luck on your 10K race too.🏃♀️❤
You mention about your intro and how you don’t like all your face impressions but that’s what makes you YOU! I think we can all say that we are here because we like you. We like your content and all your ideas. My ex boss use to say that I speak with my hands and my face expressions and I think im very quiet, I guess I’m not 😂 You did an amazing job with all the LGB! Love every single one of them.
Thank you so much Margie! It is ME, you are right...I'm used to my voice and now I will have to get used to seeing myself on camera too. LOL I'm going for it. :)
Thank you so much! I've only ever bound the signatures by sewing through the spine and doing the pamphlet stitch. 😊 My main focus is not to cut away the signature Golden spine. 😊
Hi Susan! Thank you for being here and watching my videos. I do have a few videos on my channel showing how to create a cover from a Little Golden Book and how to save the Golden Spine. There's also some where I show how to add the signatures. Lot's of great LGB videos on my TH-cam Channel. But no worry, I plan on making many more in future videos. :)
Omgosh Lilian!!!!!! I have just found you! Your work is absolutely amazing! All the work & details, excellent work! I'm hoping to order one soon! Do I purchase them from etsy?
LOVE these! You had me with the clips and beads short reels! I've been waiting and stalking your channel ever since! LOL 12 Journals is quite an undertaking! I'm excited to see your new videos...keep going with them. We are always our own worst critics...I'm sure they are delightful. How could they not be?
Thank you very much! Hmmm...I'll have to look into that. I've only worked on junk journals but I'm familiar with albums as I've received a couple as gifts and they are a beautiful project. Thank you for being here and watching my video. :)
@LilianGuerreo, it has been a minute, so sorry for this late post! I just wanted to tell you how much I ❤❤❤'d receiving my Three Little Pigs & Lady and the Tramp altered Golden Books 🤗 You're not only talented, you're generous as well 🤯 with all the added goodies 🥳 Thank you sooo much!!! P.S. Congrats on your latest 10K run 🏃♀️
Just awesome. I am prepping my LGBs now - taking them apart and sorting my signatures. I am trying to preserve the golden edge, but some of them are so worn and brittle they are tearing easiy. I was thinking of gold washi tape or clear washi that has gold print. Advice? I also saw some black and gold washi, but didnt know if that would detract from the LGB idea. Help?
Thank you! I've used clear packing tape to somewhat protect the golden foil on the spine. After I carefully remove the signatures I open and lay it flat then use sticky clear packaging tape over the golden spine. The packaging tape seals the spine and it's wide enough to overlap the front and back cover making it somewhat sturdier. It may be impossible to save all the golden spines as I've seen some in pretty bad shape. Regardless of what you do I'm sure it will turn out great! Thank you so much for being here and watching my video. BTW, there is a company online which sells golden foil tape for LGBS's. I've Googled it in the past but I opted for the packaging tape. It's called Gold Book repair tape. :)
The only tape I use is the clear tape on the exterior of the golden spine. The papers are divided into two signatures and bound/stitched to the spine. Thank you for watching and I hope you found this helpful.
HELP! Lily-in tawny yawny tiger book, you have a embossed big clock. Is that a die or stamp? Which one? I have to find it. My mom is a fan of clocks! When you get a chance please write back? Thanks 😊❤
@@LilianGuerrero Oh Lily you are a doll! Thanks for checking it for me. You look great doing videos! Your eyebrows don’t do anything! You are great at speeches!
I like that you save the gold on the spine but it looks like you cut off some of the width on the book pages. I want to find a way to save the gold on the spine but not have to cut any of the story.
Hi and thank you for being here and watching my video. It was one or the other and I really wanted to keep the Golden spine. I only trim a minimal amount of the page width maybe a half inch or under. I have also just folded that half inch of the page instead. Hope that helps. Thank you! 😊
I can’t believe you destroyed 12 little golden classic books - to throw together a bunch of odds and end mismatched papers and silly cards, sleeves just makes no sense
Well I think I was quite clear - I don’t like what you did to these cute classic little books- I think your idea would be great if you used the generic white books you can buy wholesale and create whatever you want with them - taking a existing golden book and splitting up the story’s pages with scrapbooking type little random patterned paper note cards, sleeves and tassels etc. just is chaotic and confusing to a child- I see you are from San Fransisco so that explains a lot- simply put - your destruction and chaotic creation makes no sense - especially to a child’s mind- just saying
Isn’t a journal meant to be a blank slate in which you write in- journals usually consist of a unique maybe pretty or unique cover - when you open it up to write creative- it should be a blank not a confusions of story pages broken up by random scrapbooking papers just saying -!
But why destroy these classic little golden books- not understanding why you are mixing the actual book text with a bunch of odds and ends printed papers with little sleeves? I get the idea but why not just use brand new white generic story book blanks??? This whole project is very confusing - so the child has all the chaos of these paper sleeves for what??? It’s a book to read not a journal- just a waste of the classic little golden books
I love these little golden books. Brings back memories of my mom reading these to me and my brother when we were little. I wish I still had them. I donated them a long time ago to a family who lost their home in a fire. But I am keeping an eye out when I go thrifting. These are great keepsakes. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much. I get excited when I find these in thrift stores. :)
You have inspired me so much. I am now addicted to finding these books. Blessings
Awe, thank you so much! The hunt is the best part. Have fun.
I can’t believe you did 12 LGB JJ’s! WOW 🎉 Way to go. And so excited you kept the Golden spine. Those ARE the book and so many crafters cut them away. And I’m a huge Friends fan too 🥰👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Patricia I'm so glad you love Friends :D I can't believe I worked on twelve, either. They definitely kept me busy for a while. Phew! hehe
@@LilianGuerrero No kidding! 12??? You must be exhausted 😉And in a month. It takes me a month just to do one…..lol
So cute...love them all! You did a great job on them all! ❤️
@@michelebrown6374 thank you! 😊
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing ❤

Amazing!!! As always, they came out so awesome and all look like fun to play with!!! Great job my friend!!! Hugs 🥰

Sound like a voice over? But were you also talking while filming?
Yes, I do talk while filming in the odd chance I don't need to do a VO but most of my videos do require a VO bc of all that goes on in my environment.
What is the clear pocket on the back end of the book?
@ 16:35 it is a clear CD pocket

I can’t believe you destroyed 12 little golden classic books - to throw together a bunch of odds and end mismatched papers and silly cards, sleeves just makes no sense
