Oh, Miss Shannon, you're good for the soul. I am sick as a dog and can barely breathe but watching you has proved I can still laugh! I am itching to start my new collections journal....what fun.
grabbed my 2nd coffee-hate 2 drink alone so I turned on youtube and "wa-la" Shannon Green was visiting! It is snowing like crazy, up to 30 mph wind, & temps falling (60 miles east of Cincinnati) In fact, still sittin' in my pjs. like the idea of an alphabet journal, am going 2 start on one today-its a little to cold to go outside to plant flowers!!
By absolute dumb luck, I found and got this travel book from a lady in our community. I am loving this book so far, and have decided to use it for collecting all of my giraffe images into. I'm sure it will have other animals too, but I need somewhere to put the giraffe that people send me as part of my giraffe collection. I am really enjoying this series of videos! Thank you!
Lovely how you have added colour , all my tabs are in my book and for some of my pages rather than painting I'am adding old scrap book paper I no longer like as don't have many paints . TFS x
Your pages are super pretty. You know if your worried about pages falling out or the book going weird, you could go to staples or an office store and get them to ring bind them. That as they fall out of the binding, they are still together.
+Cody Doll I have a ring binder here at home that I could use as well but it's really not that big of a deal. If the tape holds, great. If it doesn't hold, I'll rebind.
Love the way those backgrounds came out! Great info on those Silks and how they work on Gesso v Non Gesso. You're alphabet box is awesome! The one I have is too "fussy" and too little. I'll BOLO a big fishing box !
+Shannon Green Thanks for the link!! What an awesome website. I love it that they have medical and dental supplies as a sub category under arts and crafts!! My kinda shop :-) . that is a really great price on that box
Great pages Shannon. I am going to have to pay closer attention to the clearance sections for paints. I tend to shop online more than the local stores. Lazy, pure & simple. :)
looking awsome cant wait to start something like this both my daughter and i have a nasty throat infection that is dragging on way too long to be creative...
Love this whole idea! Do you have a video on how you put the journal together? If not, can you tell me the basics? I really like the look/sound of this one...lol
+Susan Leslie All I did was remove the back cover of one magazine and the front cover of another, stack them and glued the pages together. I glued a couple of pages to the "seam" pages for added strength and ran a bead of glue on the outside in the gap between the two spines.
Hi Shannon and her adoring public! I have a couple of questions. Well, a lot of questions, actually. I'll try to limit myself. Is this a glossy magazine that you put to work as a collection journal? Is your alphabet/letters holder actually a Christmas bulb holder? My hubs would probably ask if it is a fishing tackle box! Even though it's been a couple of years, I hope you do reply. Even if another artist can answer some of them, I'd appreciate it. Are you CURRENTLY living in Alabama? (Imagine I said the state name as Forrest Gump would.) 😂😃😂😁
This started out as an Oklahoma state travel brochure from 2015. It does have glossy pages but really any magazine would work. My alphabet holder is just a container I found at Sciplus: www.sciplus.com/deluxe-abs-plastic-storeitall-box-4254-p I am currently living in another A state...Arkansas! Thank you so much for watching :)
*to the tune of the ABC's* (clearing throat....ah hem....) A B C D E F G....Shannon's is the place to be. H I J K L M N O P....She shows her art for us to see. Q R X T U V... Pages got stuck but still laughs with glee. W X Y Z Then she says come play with me. Ta daaaaaaa. lololol

Looking great. 😃👍🏻

+smurfie161 What a great idea!
Just finished doing the cover for mine, i found an old craft catalogue so using that. Can't wait to start filling it up. tfs big hugs Caroline xxx
+Caroline Withington We're gonna have a fun year!

Shannon Green I figured you would have something like that, and know about about it. I just had to suggest.
What a great idea how to collect letters! And I love your attitude: "let's go with it!"
+Jenny Moed-Korpela Thanks for watching!
Love this! TFSHugs, Pam
+The One And Only Grand Thanks Pam!
Very cool, tfs Shannon
+Maggie Lockley Thanks for watching Maggie!
Your pages are looking great! I also love the bulky and I hear crinkly forming. Gotta love that.
+Ros Jones Yes indeedy, they are taking on some crinkleness.
Love the way those backgrounds came out! Great info on those Silks and how they work on Gesso v Non Gesso. You're alphabet box is awesome! The one I have is too "fussy" and too little. I'll BOLO a big fishing box !
+pTanino I got that box at Sciplus really reasonably. Here's a link if you're interested: www.sciplus.com/p/DELUXE-ABS-PLASTIC-STOREITALL-BOX_4254
+Shannon Green Thanks for the link!! What an awesome website. I love it that they have medical and dental supplies as a sub category under arts and crafts!! My kinda shop :-) . that is a really great price on that box
They're one of my favorite places to shop for storage containers and well as cheap funky stuff to play with!
waiting for my books to arrive!!
+Scrapn Life Away Woo hoo!
kewl -- I am working on dividers for my scraprack
+TheMeriAtelier I can't wait to see how it shapes up!
Shannon Green I am accumulating process videos -- there are about 7 dividers front and back --- I am working on them between my SK-Doodles
Great pages Shannon. I am going to have to pay closer attention to the clearance sections for paints. I tend to shop online more than the local stores. Lazy, pure & simple. :)
+Beverly Stout No judgement here...me and Amazon are pretty darn tight ;)
some of my silks paints got a little "funky" too so I added airbrush medium to them and they are normal again. great starts to those pages :)
+Michelle M at LadyBlueStudios Oh that was smart. I added glycerine which seems to have loosened them up pretty well.
looking awsome cant wait to start something like this both my daughter and i have a nasty throat infection that is dragging on way too long to be creative...
+Scrapbookingncraft I'm so sorry to hear y'all are not feeling well. I hope it passes soon so you can get back to being creative!
Love this whole idea! Do you have a video on how you put the journal together? If not, can you tell me the basics? I really like the look/sound of this one...lol

I was just wondering where you got that awesome cover on your book
+Cynthia Mays It came with the book! It's the 2015 Oklahoma travel guide..unfortunately they're not available anymore.
how did you make the cover of your journal and what is the book for your journal, looks awesome
just starting my journey
You can see all the videos regarding this journal in a playlist here: th-cam.com/video/aNXtwWuVRsw/w-d-xo.html
Looking good Shannon, did you remove any pages from the brochure before you started?
+Peachy Outlook Nope, but it's an option if I feel like I need to while I"m working in it.
There are no mistakes, just happy accidents==Bob Ross (paraphrased)
hi I am new to this so do you have to start with the letter A ,,,thank you Liz.........please respond
