It's been my experience that when someone attempts to minimize another person's accomplishments that they are projecting their own insecurities. You are a tremendously talented artist and you have every right to be proud. My personal aesthetic is at the opposite end of the spectrum from yours, but I always find inspiration not only from your art, but your joyful personality. I appreciate all that you do! Sometimes when I'm having trouble making a decision about a journal I'm working on, I say to myself, "Luise says there are no rules!" So I do what makes me happy! Thank you!
Totally agree with you on everything you’ve said here! Especially that other people try to bring people down when they feel insecure. We call it “Tall Poppy Syndrome” in Australia, where people try to stop others from rising above their level or cut them down to size because they are too afraid or can’t reach above where the masses tend to self-level. It’s really sad that it seems to be an endemic human trait. We should be supporting others who reach further, as it gives us motivation & inspiration to do it ourselves.
I agree with you ladies. I have watched Luise grow so much and she should be proud. I’m proud of her. Now she is getting the recognition she deserves as a member of the Tim Holtz design team 🎉. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
Perfectly said ❤️❤️
Amen!
IGNORE the spoil sport. Raspberry to them. When creating a 3 dimensional Blue Footed Booby from a whole bra, it was the greatest feeling of accomplishment. It was a challenge for Breast Cancer awareness. I won Most Creative Award after being told I was not creative enough to join an Art Quilt Group. Proud, you bet! Your bird house is on the top of my list of favorite things I've seen made.
Go girl you show them! My Mum recently passed from breast cancer so is close to my heart the cause 👍
How dare someone say you’re too proud! You have every right to be. You come up with techniques and explain them so beautifully.
Luise,
You should be happy and proud of the art you create, you are an immense source of inspiration. One of the reasons I so enjoy watching you is that you do not act like you are better than everyone else, although sometimes I think you are! Thank you so much for sharing your work. And congratulations for becoming one of Tim Holtz's makers.
Until later,
Judy
Amen Sweetheart!! Be proud, when you are happy! We are too hard on ourselves nowadays, and we should be able to feel happy about the things we do and create! I absolutely adore you and those happy feelings you get when you create! It makes me happy, to hear you happy! Love you ❤❤❤
I am finding this series to be so educational. Watching you create it is hard to believe you haven't had formal art training. Also, you make me smile several times in each video, art can be difficult to verbalize in any language!
I wanted to Congratulate you on your new adventure with Tim Holtz and the other creators. I’m so happy for you and it must be an exciting time in your life. You deserve it, you’ve worked so hard, looking forward to your future projects.
Some people need to make people feel less than. Boo to them. I absolutely love to hear that you are excited by your discoveries and love to hear the joy in your voice when you see the right thing. It helps us understand why something works. Your joy in your amazing work keeps me coming back to learn from you and be joyful with my own happy accidents. You do you! ❤️🇨🇦❤️
So beautiful Luise and exquisitely unique. Of course you can be proud and happy of your work and be free to express that joy. There is such a thing as false humility like Uriah Heap in the book David Copperfield. There is a difference between feeling proud of your achievements and grandiose pride where you think you are better than all others and would puff out your chest and strut about with your nose in the air. That grandiose pride is the kind that "goeth before a fall."Expressing your happiness and being proud of your creativity is congruent and is attractive because you couple it with gratitude.
I like to see how courageous you are and conscientious in your experimentation and presentation of your creative process. ❤

Luise, one of the things that drew me to you and thus, subscribe, is your humility! Some people have been raised to believe that pointing out your own accomplishment, is boastful, that is wrong of course, it is not boastful! As you explained in that video, you discovered the technique, you didn’t say that you went on a mission to invent something and so you are now superior! Don’t let that kind of personal attack get in your head, we love your joy and excitement, you are very humble!💕🇨🇦
I simply cannot abide rude and mean spirited people, and I’m glad you spoke up about it. I hope you also addressed it in your German video. Of course, we feel proud when we create something beautiful, discover a new technique or figure out a solution to a difficult issue. Art is subjective to a great degree, tastes differ, but frankly, some people are more talented than others. You have a God given gift in creating art, and I’m thrilled you freely share that gift with us. I believe the reason you sometimes find it difficult to explain your process is because it is intuitive for you, it just comes naturally. Sending hugs from KY, USA.
BE PROUD….what you feel is for you, and I have not ONCE thought of you as a artist and inspiring person that is not humble. Try hard to ignore the people who make you doubt yourself. You have every right to be more than proud ⭐️👍🏻
When we make art and are "in the flow," we have opened a portal through which the creative force of the universe can pass into this world. This is no small thing. It is a process filled with joy, intention, harmony, excitement, and power that comes not from us but through us. While we might be humble about the role we play in this process, we can't help but be filled with exuberance and a sometimes fierce pride in being part of that process. That is the joy and exuberance I see you you, Luise.
Well said!
True! Much more than simple crafting which manny non artists disrespect with a vengeance
True! She is on fire with creative enthusiasm! Much more than simple crafting which many non artists disrespect with a vengeance
Wonderful informative tutorial!
Oooh! A 2 hour video! You are too good to us. I am really enjoying this video series. 💙💙
Please know that you should feel proud of your accomplishments and your work!! Some people are miserable and try to bring everyone else down to their level so just keep doing what you are doing. The rest of us enjoy and appreciate every minute of it. Vicky in Florida
Oh Luise! I am amazed by your artistic processes. It always makes me happy to hear how excited you are with the outcome of your experiments. Please ignore those ignorant people who leave such ignorant comments. I love how happy you are with your creativity. That does not indicate you aren't humble.
Yes Luise! Be PROUD. The work you do is amazing, fun, interactive AND you don't keep it to yourself. You help so many of us grow in our own journey. You could have kept that to yourself so that you could be the only person in the world of junk journaling or art to do what you learned, but because you ARE humble, you chose to share your talent with us. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thank you so much ❤️
Do you like puzzles? This reminds me of sorting the pieces by color and then putting it together by looking at the picture. Love your thought process and your art! Thanks for this tutorial.
Luise, you most kind, giving, creative, expressive, skilled, generous, light hearted, supportive, uber cool soul - for your contributions, willingness to experiment, generosity of knowledge, your ability to entertain and enlighten - you are the epitome of a humble spirit. And were you not proud of yourself, recognize your accomplishments and share your pure joy when discovering your artistic voice, I would be shouting it to the mountain tops myself in recognition of your contributions to our days........ rock on dearest one ✴️✴️✴️✴️🦋🦋🦋✴️✴️✴️✴️
It’s funny. We have very different styles, but probably 99 times out of 100 when you put something somewhere to see if it works or not, I totally agree with you. So when you’re asking your rhetorical “does this work?” I’m sure I’m not the only one who is actually answering “yes! That is great!”
Oh, Luise, thank you for sharing your creative process and letting us get a glimpse into your brain! I love how you think and you should be proud of what you accomplish. When people feel they must judge you based on their concepts you don’t have to take it to heart. We are a community of creative and supportive people and there is no room for meanheartedness. I love how kind and thoughtful you always are.
How dare someone say you’re not humble enough 😡 You should indeed be super proud of who you are & what you do. Those comments usually come from jealousy & feelings of inadequacy. It’s called “Tall poppy syndrome” in Australia, where people try to cut the people who stand out down to their size instead of reaching up to their heights. I’m so glad you realised that you can indeed be proud of yourself & hope you didn’t take their nasty comment to heart.
I’m a little behind watching the videos but I saw yesterday that Tim Holtz has added a new design team member Congratulations my friend. I’m so proud of you. It was a thing that I have been lobbying for a long time. You can do a fantastic job for him. I love the idea that you will get products and you will be creating projects totally fresh. I am over the moon happy for you. Many blessings from Canada 🇨🇦🥳❤️🎊🌟
Dear Luise, thank you for the inspiration, repeat materials, vary the treatment. Sometimes we get so excited to use a new digital that we don’t make the proper preparation like stamping and stenciling the scraps we’ll use in clusters and coloring the lace. I am so happy you have achieved the position of the Tim Holtz team. You earned that by using supplies and tools in new and inventive ways, not by copying ideas. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
We live in a world with lots of people with no self confidence! You are a roll model Luise………..teach other people to be PROUD!! I feel like you are doing a fantastic job!
i think you are a fantastic artist that should be proud of all you create and would like to thank you for all you share with us, negative comments are just that and i cant believe what some people write. BE LOUD AND PROUD.
I think you are very humble. I think so folks think being proud is wrong. You always credit others when needed and you do your research to see if you should credit someone. Coming up with a new technique is exhilarating and exciting. The junk journal world fell in love with you when you inspired us to jazz up our scraps. I love your process and thank you for sharing it with us. Much love ❤️
I love watching you. If someone thinks you aren't humble enough they can go away. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us
Your creativity is so inspiring! You should be extremely proud of yourself. I love your excitement when your mind takes “flight”…I always know that we are in for something amazing! Thank you for putting yourself out there for us on your videos. More people should be proud/confident in their art. What an amazing world it would be if we built/encouraged people instead of taking people down. ❤
Luise - all I can say about your comment “ being proud of yourself and a viewer comment, all I can say is YOU GO GIRL!
Yes junk journaling is emotional 💜💜💜 we open up something in the process
I love this series, & look forward to each one as it comes out!! Beautiful work!!
Good on you Luise! Be proud! I love getting inside your head and hearing your thought processes. I love your style and how you put together your journals and projects. Please keep sharing and inspiring us and ignore the negative Nellie's of the world. Thankfully they are the minority I think.
Yes! Preach it to all of us, sister!!! We ARE allowed to be proud of ourselves. And I find that when someone I'm watching creates something that really delights them and they react in a way that lets you know they are proud of how something came together, I get a rush of delight from their pride, as well. And if anyone deserves to be proud, it is you!! You created the digital pages in this project, you've altered materials to match your style.... Your art SHOULD make you proud.
I am astounded by your creativity! I giggle every time you get so excited when something looks perfect in your eyes. Can't wait for the next tutorial as I am enjoying this series so much! And P.S., ignore the ignorant opinions of negative people and continue to find joy in your creative process. We tune in to your channel because of who you are and what you share with us! Love it so much!!
Yes it is! “It isn’t necessarily important.” It’s a great sentence for crafters/crafting since we often get sidetracked by ‘small’ things.👍
You have every right to be proud of your work! You are not at all boastful...and I enjoy sharing in your joy when you discover something you like:)
I love your joy and excitement about your results. Love it when you are proud of what you have created.
That is kind of the point of making journals….
Always learn from you sharing your thought process, your discoveries and your joy.
Thank you
That last tag you worked on - the one you tore and then "put back together" - was just brilliant!!!
Yes you can be proud and YOU should be proud! You are amazing and you do beautiful art everyday! ❤ Thank you so much for sharing yourself with us!
As always I love the way we are able to peak into your creative mind with these videos - it’s inspiring and refreshing 🧡🤎🧡 Keep being proud 😊
These are all fantastic... so enjoy watching you use your instincts and express your emotions, positive or negative, about where to put your creative embellishments. It falls so much in place with the You Do You philosophy and I LOVE it! TFS.
Love the lace!and the clean journal! Perfect for a bridal bouquet base or a younger girl ‘s baptismal! The white is so refreshing and clean looking!
I love these and I love how excited you get when something wonderful happens!😊
I wanted to address the comment that someone made to you about "not being humble". I think you are very humble because you share everything you learn with the viewers, you don't keep it to yourself how much more humble can that be and yes it is great to be positive and happy when you discover a technique that you have not seen before. There is nothing wrong with that. I have learned so much from you, and you have brought back my creative side and I thank you so much for that.
You are an inspiration …THANK YOU for ALL your hard work and passion 💕🌸
I’m following this series and have enjoyed it so much! Yes, indeed, be proud, happy, joyful in your accomplishments! Thank you for so many wonderful ideas and details! You work hard and should be proud. You have fun and should be proud! And I love your “ooooo” moments, your aha’s!
1:25:31 Really helpful tip at this spot. When you find a perfect spot for a focal point, do not glue it down yet, challenge yourself to place it in a somewhat opposite way (and therefore surprising, interesting, hooligan, in a word -- artful). Love everything routine, formula and process-based (well, I am a data analyst during daytime, so it is natural to me). Thanks a lot for this video. I loved it. And agree, it is OK to be proud about ourselves when we really are and it is ok to tell visitors and subscribers about that. And congrats to Tim Holtz’s team on an excellent creator joining it!!
Wonderful video! You are always super informative! You have a brilliant mind and should be very proud of yourself!
Great tips and tricks.! Journaling is a personal and subjective experience and so is creating a work of art no matter the medium or technique. Thank you for sharing your personal art/junk-journaling process.
I am thoroughly loving this series, I'm just watching and letting everything seep into my little brain and get the big picture sorted out, so when I sit down to try later all your lessons are there and I can follow along again to focus on the details.
Oh boo to the person who left the negative comment! You should be proud and happy to have discovered a new technique!! You fully stated at the beginning of the video that you looked and couldn't find anyone else who did it, so you did your diligence in trying to credit someone if they did it first. But you still discovered it on your own, which is amazing! Your creativity and experimentation with everything is something that I find amazing and what instantly drew me to you once I found you. You should be proud of everything you've made and accomplished, and we greatly appreciate your willingness to share your art and discoveries to us so we can grow in our own art as well. 💜
I love your videos, your voice, and of course, your art! You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your wisdom! ❤
Loved learning from your creative process!! Those white butterfly cut outs added such a fun element!! I don't have a die cut/embossing machine yet, it's on my big wish list.
Definitely a worthy investment! Hope you’re able to get one soon 😊
If you can wait for holiday sales, or check gently used. My partner surprised me with a Sizzix starter kit during the holidays - after I had told him I didn't need a die cut because of the prices! He found a great deal during the holidays last winter and I've slowly added more sets (usually older releases so they're marked down or on sale). But it's been fun and I've made use of it plenty.
Oh Luise, I love this video. The topic of harmonious cohesive repetition in a junk journal ingenuous. Just beautiful elements. Thank you.
😂 Mrs. Luise, some people are just 🍋 lemons. Sour through and through. I enjoy your reactions to your accomplishments. Let that person be the lemon to her lemonade. You are humble. 😊
Fantastic video! Your videos are so inspiring to me. They make me just let go. I have gotten so much better at that thanks to you ❤❤❤.
I just watched this particular video for the first time and I just want to comment on what you said about someone telling you that you are not humble enough.
Please don't let negative comments aimed at you, upset you. You always make it a point to be kind and helpful toward your viewers. You are a blessing to many of us and I appreciate your creativity and fun sense of humor. Your work has been such an inspiration to me and has helped me grow on my journaling journey. Thank you Luise for being you!
Thank you so much ❤️
I love this video!! You have given me a new insight in creating embellishments and making them cohesive. As you were placing clusters against the page I could see and "feel" where you were going when you found the right place for each item and explained why you felt it worked. As you said, the obvious place is not always the "right" place--it is the unexpected that brings the most interest. As for the haters, you can only pray for them. Don't let them bring you down. Your work is your work and you should be proud of it. I am happy that you are sharing it with us to encourage and inspire us on our crafting journeys. We are proud of you and appreciate your art.
Aaahhhh let me out, my brain is such a mess before being in yours 🙃😉 Luv ya loads. I'm glad you feel proud of your work, you inspire so many of us all over the world Luise, stop and think about that for one minute ........ Now, how do you feel. Much Love and hope you are having a wonderful holiday
You do you! Genius at work. I love this series. Hugs Juanette 😍
You know the saying we are our own worst critic?? It is also very healthy to be our own champion as well. Be proud! I'm proud of you! You are not boastful which is completely different and those naysayers can take long walk off of a short peir. Love you Luise and thank you for putting yourself out there for us! Hugs
Lovely work the colour scheme is fabulous ❤😊
Pride is not arrogance. Be proud.
Once again, beautiful! Had to have those butterflies. As to the negative commenter, perhaps she/he was raised to think like that. In my family, it was understood that we should not say anything positive about ourselves or our accomplishments because society thought children, especially girls, should be quiet and humble. I had the worst time in interviews trying to sell myself to the employer to get hired. It’s a shame that we unintentionally do that to children. So, like most negative comments, it has much to do with them and nothing to do with you. I have been using the watercolor technique that you invented since I watched that video and I’m having so much fun. You are my creative muse. Thank you!
Love seeing your process. You come across as very humble to me about your accomplishments. We all have the right to be proud of ourselves and after the news you announced on Instagram you have even more reasons to be excited and proud. Enjoy your success.
Be proud of yourself!💖
If people don't have to say anything positive they perhaps need tot look at themselfs. Be proud of every small and big thing YOU athieve!
I like to watch your video's. I had to watch this one in several parts, becouse of the lenght. Be where's a will there's a wat😊
You are so talented and your enthusiasm is impressive! And admirable! Great tips for dying laces thank you for the tips
You should be proud! You are extremely creative, and so entertaining. Love what you do 😍
In Australia we call it "tall poppy syndrome". This comment is only used by people who have very low self-esteem and can't cope with people being happy and proud of themselves. That wasn't explained very well but you have every right to be proud of your achievements, we are very proud of you! How can you learn from someone who has no enthusiasm for one's own work? Please don't change the way you are, that is why we keep coming back! We all love you as you are♥️, tfs.
Wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed this series so much. Thank you for taking the time to share your process in such detail. Well worth the time it took to watch. Also, if I may offer an opinion, there is a difference between an arrogant/prideful attitude that elevates oneself above others and having pride & excitement in artistry/workmanship. I personally enjoy seeing your excitement, love watching your creativity.
Thank you for your efforts! From a very senior Canadian still learning..
I would love to be your friend. Your kindness and positivity are beautiful! And your creativity is amazing! I absolutely loved the torn tag pocket!
Luise, this is a GREAT VIDEO! Maybe your best yet! What a professional you are! You amaze me!!! I was just thinking, now that you are a Tim Holz Maker, your TH-cam channel will go crazy!!! Thanks for all you give of yourself to us!!! I simply LOVE ❤ you!!! YAY!! Thx for the video. Austin TX USA
Thank you so much 😊
This is fabulous. You are soooo inspiring. I fell in love with you and your work on 49 Dragonflies with Barbara.
Love this series of videos and you go girl!!!
BTW... Luise, congratulations! on becoming one of Tim Holtz's Makers... can't wait to start seeing some of your Makes on his LIVE's. So Happy and I think you are so deserving. Cheers! : - )
Luise, I have not watched this whole video yet (I'm "saving" and only watching a few minutes at a time, as a test!) and I didn't see the original comment, but if it's about you being "not humble enough", that is RIDICULOUS. Obviously this person has not watched your videos...you include plenty of experiments and you leave in your "fails". I am just starting out in junk journaling and have learned SO MUCH from you. I am a retired teacher who spent over 30 years in the classroom, and I feel qualified to say that you are an excellent teacher. Regarding your becoming part of Tim Holtz's maker team, I only wonder what took him so long. As a newbie, I have purchased so many of his products based on your videos!! Please ignore people who are negative...sometimes they are just unhappy with their own lives...We love you! 💚💙💜
Thank you so much 😊
Very informative, .....cool creations.......yes, you can be proud,,,...You do, you............😻
Love watching your process. Looking forward to trying something similar to use up some of my scraps.
Your techniques and the way you share them, especially by adding a video in English, are always inspiring! I feel you really should be proud of all you are doing for the junk journal community because your enthusiasm and willingness to go into "what if" territory helps all of us. Thank you and just ignore that negative ijit. Btw-ijit is a Texan word for someone not worth our time or effort.
This is a great series ❤❤❤. Thx for sharing 😊😊😊
Thank you Luise, I love, love, love, your videos. I learn a lot. You can by proud on the thinks you do and create. I am learning to by proud on what I do. Greets Simone
Love it
🎉😊❤😂.... Also, so tickled for you being added to the Tim Holtz Maker Team... Congrats 🎶 📌 🌹 🎉 💖 🎶 🥰... #LuiseHeinzl 😊
Thanks for letting us into your brain!
Fantastic video and very helpful. 👍🏻👍🏻
Wonderful. Thank you.
CONGRATDULATIONS on your Tim Holtz
Thank you so much for your discovery of printing digital images on the matte photo paper. I got some and now I can use digitals you and Barbara and so many others design which I like better than big box stores.
I love the weight of that paper and the way it prints on my inkjet.
I would ❤to spend a day in your head your ideas are peng as us kids say lol my mom said i better wrote what peng means lol it means amazing awesome Tops, i don’t no why people can’t admire and appreciate others ideas would it be so hard to say awesome that’s great instead of putting people down, i suppose it’s wishful thinking but i for one think you are amazing ❤❤
Did you make bracelets like Tim? You’re such a sweetie. This was one of the most intuitive videos I’ve watched of yours. I have probably viewed 30 or so.
It's relatively long ago that I made this video, don't know what exactly you mean
😨 that person is jealous of you 😢 Dont listen too that person!!!
Of course you /me should and must be proud of ourselves 💜💜💜💜
I have absolutely no idea why anyone would be rude to you!
You just send them to my doorstep and we will take care of it ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hello Luise, I'm from Portugal and I've been watching your videos for a while. I love what you do. I watch the English video after I've watched the German version. Love to listen to you speaking your natural language. ❤
May I ask you what stamps you used for the large embossed Butterfly and Moth? Keep searching and can't find them...
Thank you so much ❤️ the stamp by Tim Holtz is called Specimen CMS410
@@luiseheinzl Vielen dank, Luise! 😘
Danke schön, Luise, ich habe den stempel gerade gekauft. (I hope I didn't make may spelling mistakes. I haven't spoken or written in german for 48 years! That's why I love watching the geraman videos and listen to you.)
Your videos are real classes for me. Thank you and always be ptoud of yourself, you sure have reasons to be proud.
Xx Marisa
If someone were to ask me, "Please, describe Luise?"...'prideful' or 'boastful' would NOT be a word I'd use. I have NEVER found you to be conceited or arrogant...not at all. In fact, I've even seen you doubt yourself sometimes, or feel insecure about what you're doing. Truly "prideful" people don't do that. Their egos shine through...obnoxiously.🙄
Unfortunately, some people feel so inadequate or jealous that they can only perceive negativity. That's a big problem in this world, imo. So many humans feel the need to knock others down to feel better about themselves instead of uplifting their fellow humans...much like that commenter. I say, try to ignore their hurtful words. It's their own unhappiness speaking.💔
Being a braggart or a snob is very different than feeling, or KNOWing, that you've done a great job. There's nothing wrong with being happy, excited...& even "proud", with yourself when you've done something fantastic, or discovered something new & amazing. What's even better is when you're excited to share it with everyone so that they can feel joy too!💖
You ALWAYS share what you've learned with us, instead of just keeping it all to yourself. It's obvious to me that you love to bring joy to others through your crafting. And, I thank you!💗💗💗
Oh wow, thank you so much ❤️
For me the focal point changing from one butterfly to the other is because of the orientation. The one that is not upright is not a butterfly to me. It is a design. I posted too soon. You started talking about that rude remark. The first person who should be proud of you is YOU. If we aren't proud of ourselves then no one else will be proud of us either. That person needs to be humble for sure. Why would she or he think they were qualified to even remark on the subject. 😅
Maybe the rude commentor was having a bad day. someone peed in her Cheerio's or something. what I find strange is when our children are little we get excited for every first thing they do. then somewhere along the way we expect them to be humble. why do we get excited over a first bite or a pee in the potty but but as adults we aren't suppose to be proud of ourselves??? I was helping y hunny replace the cooling system in my son's computer and we were both getting frustrated because it was impossible to partly assemble and then insert screws through the case into the system it was too loose and sloppy. I had the idea to get tooth picks and insert into the holes and through the case to stabilize it. pull a toothpick and insert a screw repeat 7 more times. personally I thought I was a genius. no one else in the house thought of it... everyone else wanted to give up. So be proud of you. as an adult we don't always get the validation we need and deserve. I love your ideas and your processes. tell her don't freak your freak. LOL 🤣🥰
I think people that don’t have anything better to do are not happy with themselves so they have to nitpick other peoples work. They need to shut up about it. And get a life.
