Thanks Patt! Yeah, I really have to restraint myself bc my instinct is to glue in and stick down but I think it's better to let the buyer do most of it so she can really create a journal that works how she likes it to...not just what I think is good. Thanks a bunch for watching! Lisa :)
You got that right!! It kills me how they always know when I have a ton of glue out and the need to be on the table right at that moment LOL! Thank you for watching :)
You are very welcome and thank YOU for watching :) I am thrilled that you enjoyed it. I do like to ink sometimes but I don't feel that everything needs it all the time. Not to mention sometimes I just don't have the patience for it LOL!
These are absolutely fantastic Lisa!! I'm a sucker for Christmas journals, and these have it all! WOW! So much fun listening to you flip through this too. You're a hoot!😊
Awww thanks Terri! I had a blast putting them together. Now it's time to make some dark creepy winter journals...LOL!! No time now for happy Christmas. I must get back to doom and gloom ;) Hahahahah! Thanks for being here xo
Hello I’m new here and I don’t know who you are but I wanna be your friend 😂 you had me at captain obvious 😂 you are so funny you had me cracking up I might of looked like that serious lady in this journal before but now I’m laughing so hard I’m crying -but more importantly your journal is beautiful! I know I’ll have to re watch so I’m subscribing because I’ve got to hear more of your laugh 😊 p.s. I’m now also worried about Nancy & Jan 😂great flip tfs
Hello and thank you so much for your kind words and very much appreciated support! It's wonderful to meet you :) I am thrilled to bits that you enjoy my goofiness LOL! I try not to take myself too seriously or over think my banter. I figure that those who connect with me will stick around and those who don't like me will quietly move on. Im ok w that :) I am really happy that you are here and we have connected. I am thrilled to bits that you liked the flip thru. I really did enjoy creating them. You gotta keep laughing right??? :) Have a fantastic weekend and we will chat soon! xo Ps- I know right..... Nancy and Val, what happened. I am hoping that they decided they don't play cards anymore and that they are still as happy as the day they got married OR! It ws a printer error and it was supposed to be Nancy and Sal hahahah! ;)
I just subscribed. Its 2 am and I'm sick and can't sleep. I'm sitting here laughing with you and loving your cats. Oh just realized this is a year old video lol.
Thank you for watching!!! I hope you can sleep better tonight. It's so annoying when you can't sleep!! Well, nothing has changed in a year to be honest. The girls are still cute and cuddly and like to show up mid video ;) I am glad you enjoyed the video and I could provide you with something to watch while trying to sleep. With any luck, i lulled you to sleep with my pages. Hugs xo
Love your journals! You are not the only one who doesn't want to cover up the cool scrapbook paper - Simple Stories is my FAV! I love that you did a 12"x6" - you have challenged me to go bigger than my normal!
Thank you Tina! It's good to know that I am not alone in my can't-cover-the-pretty-paper-ism LOL! I do enjoy that size and love the extra space to play with larger journal cards for hidden journaling. Thanks for watching!
The illustrator that created that line from Echo Park is Steven Duncan. He also created for October Afternoon way back when. I’ve always been a huge fan of his artwork.
Thank you so much for sharing his name! I just found his blog and will follow his work from now on. It's funny bc we see the paper in the stores and online but often never know the genius behind the art. I really appreciate you letting me know. Thanks for watching, Lisa :)
Absolutely! I agree… it’s kinda fun to know the masterminds behind the artwork you love. You’re a hoot to watch.. look forward to watching more. ~Cindy
These are gorgeous. I love vintage Christmas papers. I don't think Lucy and Sophie thought there were enough cat pictures in the journals though because they were all over the journal you were showing doing their final editing.😹😹
Awww thanks Anita! I cannot resist vintage Christmas. No matter how much I love Halloween...vintage Christmas gets me every time! I think you are right LOL! Certainly not of Siamese cats. I have been looking for digitals of Siamese at Christmas and so far...nothing. Very disappointing....but maybe a good thing bc I don't have much self control when it comes to this kind of thing ;) I need to add more cats into everything...that is the rule around here. Have a wonderful springtime weekend....I don't think you are into summer quite yet. Soon tho right bc Christmas is coming and you are well into summer over the holidays. Hugs xo
OMG 🎉🎉🎉I LOVE your journals! These are beautiful!!! I was looking for making a journal/December Daily/Album that was just my style! Thank you for sharing! I also like that you left ideas for whoever is the lucky lady that will be receiving these the option to make choices about inks, tabs and etcetera. Please send to me! Lol Too pretty to give away!❤❤❤
Thank you Shelley! That is very sweet of you and I am thrilled to bits that you enjoyed the journal :) Everyone likes to journal and decorate in a different way so I like to leave things loose for optimum creativity :) Happy New Year to you and thank YOU for being here :)
I love your intentional placement of papers and the subtle pops of black throughout. Every page turn is a fun surprise, so many really cute images…just the way a Christmas journal should be! Great job!🎄🎄🎄
That is super sweet of you! Thank you Melissa. I love playing w colour and even tho I don't like matching per say, I do enjoy connecting palettes...if that makes sense. As always I really appreciate your support :)
If you can't find something specific that I used, send me an email at lisa@ilaandalice.com and I will try and find the shoppe for you. I have TONS of digitals that I have purchased over the years so it;s a real dig but I can help if you are stuck :) I just usually search by "digital Christmas clip art vintage" Very fun but dangerous LOL! ;)
Lisa, I'm fairly new to your channel. I have to say, gf you are hilarious! I love your Christmas journals! What a wonderful idea to clip the ephemera in for the new owner to decorate with! I adore the retro/1950's images. Where did you get them? A scrapbook paper pack or a digital? TYFS Cindy 😊
Thank you for your kind words and watching the video. I am thrilled to bits that liked the journals. I get all my digitals on Etsy and yes, those vintage images are digitals that I printed out. Happy journaling and take care, Lisa :)
Where did you get all of the vintage Christmas images from like te 1940's? I need them for my journal I am doing for the time my folks were young during WWII Also those adorable digital Gift Tags? Thanks so much! Sandy
Carta Bella has the thickest papers, and it is a Steven Duncan collection from Carta Bella. I love your journals! So retro and vintage!!!! sandy_521lakestreet
What a great idea leaving most stuff available for the person to be able to do their own way of creating some of their own ideas. ❤ Awesome.
Thanks Patt! Yeah, I really have to restraint myself bc my instinct is to glue in and stick down but I think it's better to let the buyer do most of it so she can really create a journal that works how she likes it to...not just what I think is good. Thanks a bunch for watching! Lisa :)
When you said, get off my lawn, I almost lost it. My husband has hit that season of life 😂🤣
Heehee!!! It happens to the best of us ;) Thanks for watching xo
My FAVORITE paper line!
Admit it - you couldn’t get anything done without Sophie! She’s gorgeous! I really love all your journals, thank you!
You got that right!! She’s my little sidekick and a big help. Thanks so much!!! Happy New Year! xo
No craft room is complete without a cat!! Love the journal!
You got that right!! It kills me how they always know when I have a ton of glue out and the need to be on the table right at that moment LOL! Thank you for watching :)
Absolutely gorgeous journal!! I love your style!
That is very kind of you Terry! Thanks so much for watching and spending time on my channel :)
