I thought the cover was just beautiful with just the book pages alone...but the end result is also just as beautiful!
What a joy to watch. And you're right. No hint of a struggle to be seen...
I would enjoy watching you experiment. The value in your videos is you and your personality. All your projects are wonderful because of your enthusiasm for the process and they are beautiful!
Aw, thanks so mich Julia! ❤️
Wow. Just wow. I absolutely love your cover, process, creativity, editing on the fly. I can't believe how much of a difference the black outlining made! This is just beautiful. Thank you for sharing your creativity!
Thanks so much Jamie! ❤️
My goodness. I love this journal cover. Its sooo beautiful. I look forward to your videos. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Thanks so much! ❤️😃
Absolutely love your tutorials ..so generous of you to share and to work so hard for us ..well done girl..you voice so lovely the video..thank you..G.
Thanks so much! My pleasure! ☺️❤️
I like to add acrylic paint to my gesso when doing backgrounds. Burnt Sienna or Raw Sienna are my two favorite pigments to use. I've also used drops of acrylic ink to color my gesso. That way you are not left with such a stark white, and it gets the page/cover/whatever started in the right direction.
Wow, it came out so beautifully & it did look effortless. Thank you for sharing & inspiring
It turned out so gorgeous!!!
GORGEOUS...LOVE IT!! I know you worked really hard on this...it shows & the end result is AMAZING!! As you added each layered detail, it became apparent that you are spreading your artistic wings!! Lace butterfly...perfect touch!! ❤🦋❤
Thanks so much for your kind words Debbie! ☺️❤️
Love it 😍
Beautiful as always! Love the grunge
I love your digital collage club journals. I joined through you a while back and I am enjoying it. I love to see projects you do with the items so I can get inspiration.
Thanks Patricia! The Club has such great value! 😃
This has to be my favorite cover of all time! I love your courage to continue to keep adding layers. Watching your video you would never know you had any struggles with it!
Thanks so much Kathryn! ❤️
This turned out just beautiful!
Thanks for another inspiring video. I never would have considered using book pages as the substrate for the journal cover. I plan on trying this some time. Likewise stitching the piece for the closure is something I definitely will be doing. I love the final product. I appreciate your reminder to work in "baby steps". As I am new to this style, I am definitely taking your suggestion to heart. I'm striving for a happy medium point between art journal ing and junk journaling as I work out my style. Your videos are helpful. Thank you.
Your struggles paid off, the cover is gorgeous! I am learning so much from your videos, one thing is that I stop way too soon! Your comments about seeing your own edited video back was helpful too because we, well I, am hard on myself sometimes because it looks so easy when you watch someone else do it. For me it’s that battle of the mind, should I use this or that or neither? You are a joy and an inspiration!💕🇨🇦
Absolutely stunning!
Thank you for sharing and being honest about how difficult it can be. The end result is lovely Barbara ❤
I'm telling you, if I attacked a piece of packaging, it would NOT turn out as great as this!! So lovely!
Thanks! You might surprise yourself! Give it a try! 😃
@@49dragonflies Ok.👍
I love the layers on your cover. You're better with the glue gun than I am. I always end up with glue strings everywhere. Tfs.
Thank you! I have the same problem with my small glue gun and I’m starting to think it depends on the glue gun. I just bought a new one (haul video coming up 😃) and it doesn’t seem to be doing that.
I love how you keep going and going and going until you love it. It turned out SO GOOD.
So awesome! Love the dimensions! Thank you for sharing. 😍
Hi Barbara wow what an awesome cover you are so talented. Love the addition of the lace with a bolt pin will definitely try this. Thanks for the inspiration. Stay safe. Xx❤️
Thank you Jennifer! ❤️☺️
It is very beautiful. I love it a lot.
Thanks for the packaging idea. I will try this! Your cover turned out so neat! 😻
Beautiful cover.Tfs❤️
This turned out great. Up-cycling is my jam. It's always a good idea to step away from a project and come back to see it with a fresh set of eyes and I love how you kept adding more detail to it. The black splatters gave it that little bit of grunge it needed. Love it!
awsome book cant wait to see the insides great job
Wow! Barbara, this is amazing! I keep all my Amazon packaging so will be making this for sure x
Thanks Sharon and have fun with your packages! 😃❤️
It’s my first time here and I’m sooo happy to have found your channel 😊 I absolutely love the way you craft journals and find that you have the answers to the ideas I’m having but am struggling to figure out how to execute properly. I have been thinking about how to make a journal cover for the past few days for my set of 6 travel journals that I plan to use to document my journey and the information I receive from The Apothecary at Home subscription box. The boxes that everything ships in are perfect! Thanks so much for sharing 🌱💐💕
A beautiful collage has bee a difficult birth. I hear your pain. At least it tells me not to get discouraged; I try to be patient; I do not see what the end of the art looks like until it is finished. You do inspire. Another incredibly helpful tutorial. You do make seem easy; but it isn't, your the best. But your the one who walks us through each step in your humble way. You don't miss a step; how nice to have on TH-cam. Warm wishes Barbara.
Thanks so much for your kind words, Danuta! ❤️
Fabulous
amazing. I love the way her eyes seem to pop after you added the black shadow around your layers. This was awesome to watch.
Love this video. I just the other day cut down some packaging thinking it would be good for a journal but wasn’t sure what to cover it with. Thanks for providing the inspiration!
Thanks Linda! I hope you give it a try! ❤️
Loved this, Barbara. Thanks so much. Grunge isn’t my normal style but I really like this cover. I’m going to step out of my comfort zone and give it a try.
Thanks Kathy! Have fun with this! You can always make it less grungy. I also have another idea coming up soon 😃
I really enjoyed this video, I wish Amazon would send my orders in this same packaging. Tfs
Thanks! I get books in these kind of packages, but you can also try this by taking 2 cereal boxes and glue them on top of each other to get a sturdy cover 😃
Lovely cover. I felt the indecisions and the frustration of trying to find the right layout. I enjoyed watching the process.
Barbara you are one of my favorite junk journal makers, l think my favorite. Thank you !🦄
Aaaaaw ❤️❤️❤️
This was really inspired! It turned out so perfect!
Wow Barbara, this is amazing. Your collage is always perfect . Love 💕 💞💕
The final steps were just what you needed to make this such an amazing piece. Thanks for the journal, inspiration, and the time you so generously share. Posted to Pinterest, so others will will find you. God bless and stay safe.
Aw, you are a sweetheart! Thank you so much! ❤️
What a beautiful cover Barbara! 😍
Although it doesn’t show in the video I do understand the struggle! I started working on a cover earlier this week and I still don’t really know what to do with it....
Thanks! Don’t give up. Sometimes it just takes a bit longer to figure it all out! 😃❤️
I love everything you create.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful journal.
Little tip when I’m trying to seal in distress ink. I stamp the sealer in. I use a sponge brush and gently stamp it over. It doesn’t smear no where near what it did for you and it keep more of its original look.
Thanks so much for your tip! 😃👍🏻❤️
Love it, Barbara! So vintage and beautiful! TFS the inspiration!
I just happened to be about to make a cover from a similar piece of Amazon packaging when this video popped onto my screen! Serendipity. I don’t know how I’ll decorate it yet, but have begun by pasting book pages on, as I thought that was a great idea. Thank you for the inspiration! 💕
Thanks Pam! Have fun with your cover! 😃❤️
Oh this turned out so beautiful, tfs x
This is absolutely GORGEOUS!!
So beautiful and fun to watch. You would never know it use to be a box.
wow..turned out so amazing!! Inspiring for sure!! And I am loving Digital Collage Club too, I think I printed off these ladies myself this week..this particular one looks like she could be my auntie so I may see if I can use her...such a lovely journal cover and I learned soooo much! Thanks so much Barbara!
Thanks Brenda! I’m happy you’re enjoying the DCC papers! 😃❤️
This was Beautiful. THANK YOU
Absolutely beautiful!
Just lovely
This is beautiful!
Olá primeira vez que vejo seu vídeo, e amei.ja me inscrevi.abraços
Love this Barbara!! Definitely feeling inspired! Can't wait to try making one! You are so talented! TFS :))
Gorgeous cover, I've made from a book depository box, never tried an Amazon box. This is so cool 💕🥰 This cover turned out beautifully ❤️
Thank you Galit! ❤️
I really liked the fast speed with your voice over, describing what you did.
Omg love love it
Thanks for the mention Barbara, your artistry comes through so well and you've reminded me of some techniques that I use to use like the splatter and paste. I'll have to incorporate them again. Now I'm off to see how the journal turned out! xo
Thanks so much Robin! I love your work!! I have been binge watching your videos today! 😃❤️
Loved how this piece turned out!!! I’m a big fan of the grungy look, and I learned several new techniques from this video. I appreciate you talking about how you struggled with the design, because it does not show by just watching the video. It turned out BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thank you Ann! With each journal I learn something new (otherwise I would get bored) 😊
Love it!
Love this👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💜💜💜🤗😃👍🏻
🤗 It was a joy to see a preview of your journal, and to chat with you about it 🤗 I love the end result sweetie . Big hug from your two fans 😘😘😘
Thank you sweetie! Always enjoy your feedback! Hugs to you both! ❤️🥰
This is really gorgeous - been wondering if I could use a sewing machine on corrugated card and now I know without the stress of trying it out myself 😆 I’ve been making a journal backwards - making and embellishing 2 signatures (almost finished) before making the cover. Thanks for the great tutorial, I’m definitely going with the Amazon packaging and hoping for less of a crocodile appearance😊
Thanks Linda! Your way is not backwards. Do what works best for you! 😃❤️
@@49dragonfliesThis is my first time doing it this way and it really has worked well for me - I can completely remove any page to embellish on a flat surface and add or remove pages. It’s also really great if you decide to add stitching as an afterthought 😊
I love these 'förändring' (Swedish for transformation) videos. I'm totally into recycle and upcycle. GREAT! /Ditte
Wunderwunderwunderschön!!!!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for bringing us along on this process and sharing your struggles with it. It really helps me get beyond this crazy idea that I can't possibly be artistic when it takes me forever to work through ideas. I love your art and your honest candor. Blessings to you for abundant creativity!
Thank you Sharon! The more you do it, the faster and easier it will become 😊👍🏻
This is just awesome!!! Love it so much ❤️
What a fabulous cover Barbara! You did make it look so simple but we can see the work you put into it ( but not the struggle) . It is brilliant!🦋
Beautiful!! If you hit those hot glue strings with your heat gun for a second or two they will melt away.
Gorgeous....you are so talented with your creativity. Thank you for your inspiration you bring to all of us. ❤❤❤ hugs from Michigan...cant wait to see the inside😍🌷🌻
Thanks Barb and hugs to Michigan! 😃❤️
Hi Barbara, that cover turned out great. I don't know if I missed you saying it, but what are you going to use it for.? If I'm correct it is a bit bigger than the standard size you use. Thanks
Thanks Stella! You didn’t miss it because so had no clue 😂. But in the meantime I filled it up and that video will be out in a week! 😃
@@49dragonflies can't wait!
This is absolutely amazing! Your ability to create so many beautiful things from the recyclables! I had thrown those packages out and wish I could have them back now! Thanks for sharing your beautiful projects. 💗 your ideas!
Thanks Wanda! Go buy more stuff LOL 😂❤️
I am so glad I found your channel. I am a new subscriber and love the fact you recycle...that is what I am all about. Plus your creativity is just beautiful. Glad I found you.
Thanks so mich and welcome to my channel! ❤️☺️
This is a great video! I love how you over-dubbed yourself talking. It makes for a better video and didn’t slow down the process.
That was stunning. Thanks for the idea. I have something I want to cover and this would be perfect to make the journal cover. You helped me out. Lots of love and hugs ❣️ to you. I love the cover.
Thanks Paulette! I’m so happy this was inspiring! 😃❤️
I love how everything turned out!!!! I was sure you were going add the copper gilding wax on those corners, you surprised me and didn't! Thanks for communicating your struggles as well, helps me not question myself as much.
Thanks Marybeth! I’m happy I’m not always predictable! 😃
This is excellent and for talking about the struggles and the ideas as they popped into your creative mind!
Absolutely amazing❤️ I did not want the video to end. Can’t wait to see what else you do. Thank you, as always, for your beautiful work and inspiration 😊
Thanks so much Kristina! Part 2 coming up next week! 😃❤️
This turned out so beautiful ❣❣❣❣❣ I'm so inspired now to make one too! Thank you so much 😊
Thanks Carol and have fun with this! 😃
Beautiful! Love watching the whole process!
Absolutely stunning & beautiful I myself want to complete my order with Amazon just to get the box lol 😂 but what’s in my cart the box will be to big. I would love to try this it won’t look like yours for sure. Thanks for sharing 🥳❣️
Thanks April. I usually get books that come in these packages. You could do the same thing with 2 cereal boxes glued on too of each other 😃
Oh it's absolutely beautiful x
Beautiful cover, Barbara!! I’m so surprised you didn’t add gold wax to the texture paste in the 4 corners 😂. You are so talented and brave. Love how you are willing to forge ahead to create fun layers! Hugs, Grenae
Thanks so much Grenae! Not sure what happened there with the missing copper wax! 😂
You certainly don't subscribe to the less is more tribe. 🤣🤣👌🙏
Gorgeous journal cover! Never a doubt you wouldn’t pull it off. Utilizing things we would normally throw in the recycle bin is fun and inspiring. Looking forward to seeing you work your magic on the inside. Thank you. 💜😎
I just love how you create!! No fear....just fun experimenting!
It's a beautiful cover...off to watch the next video!!
have been wanting to make a junk journal but couldn't decide how to start, am so pleased to have found you and your video xxx
Thanks Sarah! So happy this was helpful! 😊
@@49dragonflies hope mine resembles something similar lol xx
Surely you are not saying we should know what we are doing before we start! 😬That would definitely keep me from doing 90% of my projects. 🙃
I do love your cover. When all else fails, add another layer!!
Haha thanks Jean! Much more fun not knowing what we are doing, right?! ❤️☺️
I have enjoyed your video!!!!! The end result is fantastic!!
Mir gefällt die Tatsache, dass du wirklich Junk als Grundlage genutzt hast richtig gut 😍 und die Farb Zusammenstellung ist soooo perfekt, bin schon gespannt, wie es weiter geht 💛💛💛
Ich danke dir liebe Susanne! ❤️
Very fine craftsmanship....creative imagination....love it...you’re so inspiring......😻
Beautiful!!! You have such a cute personality!
Aaaaw ☺️❤️
Much enjoyed this, looking forward to the inside pages......You balance your collages so well...
That journal cover turned out really beautiful. Great craft with me video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!
Mach doch das Video auf deutsch mit englischem Untertitel; du brichst dir da ja einen ab 😂
I watch a lot of TH-cam and I’ve come across you and love the way you do yours. I don’t like when they talk about there family when all I want is to know what their doing. I really like you finding something on Pinterest and work it out in your way.
