It’s beautiful Barbara. I’m sure that your mother would be so so proud of you and what you have accomplished. I think more so though that she would be happy that you are happy doing what you love, and doing it so well. ❤
I love how you have incorporated your Mother and Grandmother, two important women in your life into your everyday planner. It is such a great way to bring family members closer to you. Love this idea.
Oh so brilliant. I absolutely love what you did here Barbara. I’m sure your mom would be proud of you because we always are proud of anything our kids do. ❤️ Dragonflies are my special insect as well and now I have to see if I can find a tiny stamp for my Mom’s photos or I’ll just draw a tiny one.
So comforting to watch this post-humous relationship with your mom. Thank you for sharing your inner and outer process! If sh only knew at 17 she would be given a tattoo by her daughter! 💌
This one got me all teary as my mom was an angel, an accomplished artist, and like your mom, she always encouraged my artist endeavors. I miss her terribly, every day, and know that she watches over me as I create. I love this idea of including vintage family photos in our journals. Thank you, Barbara!❤😘🤗
Barbara: well done. Your Mother is very proud of you. You are a very talented woman who has her feet on the ground all the time.Success! Carol from California
This was truly special, Barbara. My mom passed 3 years ago and I have an album full of her pictures that I wanted to do something memorable with. You have inspired me now, and I love the idea of feeling closer to her by using her picture in a journal. You made me shed a tear! Our moms are so dear to us, thank you for this.
I really loved watching this transformation. I also teared up at the end because I know how you are feeling. My mother was an artist, and inspired and supported me throughout my whole life in my creative endeavors. It was definitely one of our connections. So glad I found your channel (through the Dephemerember challenges 2023). You and Luise are both very inspiring.
Barbara, this was the ultimate beautiful snack tag. I loved seeing your mom with a tattoo of a dragonfly over her heart. Super cute! I know she would love this creation, too. Here's a hug 🤗 for you. Creation well done💖
Barbara, this turned out so beautiful! How cool to change your Mom’s dress. Your Mom is so proud of you and is watching you create and smiling. Loved this video and of course you would have the emotion you did. Wonderful! TFS!❤
Hi Barbara,👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 I enjoyed a little laugh this morning. About you mom and grandma. I can’t wait to add some family old photos in my journals. Been waiting to do that for a while. Hugs from Indiana
You not only added your Mom to your journal, now she is keeping a watchful eye over your ongoing journey!! I'm sure she's extremely proud of you for following your dreams; keep soaring w/ your wings, my friend!! 🧡🦋🤗
I completely understand your emotions. I always feel the same when working in my family / heirloom journal. My parents both passed away years ago, and when I'm working in my journal, I still feel close to them. They were the best and sweetest parents, and I still miss them, but I know they would be proud of me - eventhough my life wasn't always a clear chosen path. Your mom would be very proud of you Barbara, and not just of your creative career!
I love it!🥰 I think your Mom would love it as well!❤ I am so inspired to give this a try with some of my family photos. What a fun way to keep them close! Thank you!! 💕
This is so cool, Barbara...your mum would be so proud of you 🙏❤ As you were playing around with the embossing powders, I imagined the word UNIQUE to get glossy also 😊 as you made mention of your mum being unique. This is a truly beautiful video. Thank you for sharing xx
So eine bezaubernde Hommage an deine Mama, so ein niedlicher kleiner Libellenstempel, so liebevoll plaziert. Einfach wunderschön in das Setting mit der Großmama plaziert. Viva der Weiblichkeit❤
So beautifully creative! The sweet photo of your Mom looks like she is going to a Debutante Ball or Cotillion!😊 You have made me so happy-I can't wait to use a photo of my Mom and make my own paper doll! LOVE❤❤❤ Thank you, Barbara! Now, I'm going to cry!😢
I absolutely love you for sharing this. I can't tell you how long i have had a block about how to do junk journaling with my family photos. I love this idea. You are a special artist.
I teared up at the same time you did! I lost my mother just last year and I'm still too sad to use photos of her in my journals. But I think this is just the most beautiful, creative way to honor your mother and I will do this, too, once my heart is a little less broken.
What a beautiful way to add your mom to your journal. I love that idea. I need to go dig through my old photos and see what I can find. I truly enjoy your videos and you always make me laugh. thank you for that
This is one of the most beautiful, poignant videos I have watched. I have just started experimenting with old family photographs. My late father has always been my creative inspiration and I am having fun altering photographs of his younger self. You have inspired me more than you realise and it is quite emotional. I felt your emotion. Thank you x
Ich kann dir gar nicht sagen, wie schön ich es gefunden habe, dass du so eine große Freude bei der Veränderung des Fotos deiner Mutter gehabt hast 😊. Die ist merklich spürbar gewesen. Der Tag ist dir wundervoll gelungen, das war wirklich Junk Journal Magic 💚! Liebe Grüße Nicole
What a wonderful way to incorporate your mom into your creative life. I love using family photos. My mom would come back and haunt me if I gave her a tattoo. I can hear her voice in my head now calling me by my full name, as all mothers do when they're unhappy with us. 😂
Barbara, all of my parents and grandparents are gone. I'm nearly 60yo, and the "matriarch" now. I even lost my only sibling, my brother, June 16th, 1996. I've been really missing them all so much lately.💔 I was even in tears a few of days ago. And again, yesterday, while watching a home video of Christmas gathering at my home, and my dearest grandpa playing guitar and singing old Spanish songs.💗😭 I truly adore the artful memorials you've created. Especially using such joyous, bright colors in loving, happy memory. I think I mentioned to you recently, I have sooo many photos, & I just don't know what to do with some of...most of...them. Your inspirations are the perfect way to use them and to create a joyful book of memories for my kids and grandkids to look through.💗 Thank you so much for your inspirations, and for the way you always make me feel better.💛🧡💛 p.s. You look just like your mom...like twins!🤩💖
Oh Barbara! The friendships we make from watching videos of people we don’t even know…. I was very touched watching your strong feelings come out about your Mom. My Moms been gone for 22 years. My husband died 10 months after her. I’ve done a few pages with my Husbands pictures. But I think I’ve only made 2 with my Mom and those were with the whole family. I usually get teary eyed for my Husband but lately with the Journey I’m on right now, I miss my Mom. She passed away from Cancer. But hers was discovered very late. Mine, we’ve caught early. So seeing you get emotional and knowing the feelings I’ve been happening right now, I joined right in with you and I let the tears flow. This is a beautiful bookmark. Thanks for taking us along with you. ♥️♥️♥️
That is awesome you made a piece that means so much to you! Those are the best! I agree, your mom would be very proud of you! I love Lindt Chocolate too! I eat the 78%. But it’s all so yummy! And the packaging is perfect for tags (and crowns)!
A very fun project sweetie 😅 I was laughing thinking of your mom looking down on you when she saw you giving her a tattoo 😊 who knows maybe bow she would have loved it. ❤ she loves you for sure.
Such a beautiful homage Barbara. I wish I had more old pictures from my mom and dad….. unfortunately they didn’t have a camera when they were young and the few I have does not scan well :( Thanks for sharing this super meaningful project.
It's beautiful, and I'm tearing up! I understand. My biggest supporters were my mom, grandma, and husband (all gone now). Working on a JJ about my husband has helped me establish continuing bonds with him since losing him 27 months ago. I've collected ephemera for years to make one for my mom. You've encouraged me to stop procrastinating and make some "snacks" for it.
Such a precious project and so sweet to hear you become sentimental when it all came together. Very touching. ❤

Love what you did with you moms photo. Yes she’ll be in your planner and you will enjoy it every time you work in it.
I love this so much. I think the best art happens when you get the giggles over an element. Your mom would love it!
OMG Barbara, what a beautiful piece. I love the positive vibes your videos give off, you are super creative. Your mom must be so proud of you.
I really love how you made a vintage foto into your dragonfly mom. It’s emotionally but on a lovely way. Thanks for sharing dear Barbara ❤

I need to make one of these with a pic of my Mum 🥰
Barbara thank you for the great inspiration for using photos. Really creative!
This is so cool, Barbara...your mum would be so proud of you 🙏❤
As you were playing around with the embossing powders, I imagined the word UNIQUE to get glossy also 😊 as you made mention of your mum being unique.
This is a truly beautiful video.
Thank you for sharing xx
I love your beautiful tag - I will definitely borrow your idea to alter some of my photos of my mum - thank you so much for sharing
I cannot tell you how much I love this and the dragonfly tattoo!

Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful! ❤️
What a fun tag - and what a hilarious Mom makeover!😅
I love this. Tatooed mom is a paper doll. I also think Mom is wearing jewelry cuffs instead of gloves. 😊
Wow, you made me tear up! I just love this tag.
Mom would love it, most of just knowing your thinking of her!!!!
I teared up at the same time you did! I lost my mother just last year and I'm still too sad to use photos of her in my journals. But I think this is just the most beautiful, creative way to honor your mother and I will do this, too, once my heart is a little less broken.
I’m so sorry you lost your mom. In time, Art can be very therapeutic ❤️

Your Mum was a beautiful lady lovely work ❤😊
Gorgeous. I have a photo of me in the 60s age 16 going to my first ball. I had gloves that went past my elbows. You brought back so many memories.
Wonderful! ❤️
