🥰 thank you sweetie for showing the card, and thanking Eelco. He was watching so intently and then he had a huge smile on his face when he realised you love the card so much 🥰 What a wonderful way to cheer up your day and in doing so cheering up our day too. Sending another big hug 💞
Barbara, you could just turn the bag inside out and then you wouldn’t have to paint over it. Just an idea the fabric is beautiful I love watching your videos are inspiring.
Dear Barbara, l love watching these journal making videos. You are right in saying that you may feel differently from us about the style of your artwork. From my perspective, it very much looked like a typical 49 Dragonflies creation. It definitely felt like your style, to me. But as a creator, you become quite focussed on the details and see things from a different point of view. You have inspired me to make a few soft cover journals lately. I find them to be easy to use and vey satisfying from an ASMR perspective too 😊 My most recent one was for my daughter who lives on the other side of the country - a four hour plane flight away. Because it was covered in fabric, and had some fabric pages inside, l sprayed them with my perfume (which l always wear). So now the journal smells like mum 👩 😁😁😁. To stop the paper bag images showing through, l add another layer of plain fabric. I also added a layer of baking paper - for that extra crinkly sound, before sewing together all the layers. We don’t have easy access to Tim Holtz fabric, but this is not an issue. I start with plain fabric, tea and ink stain it. Then stamp it with images which l then iron to "fix" them to the fabric. Very personal. One such journal is covered with butterflies and dragonflies. Have a beautiful day, Barbara 🇦🇺
I love the creation from your two friends! How precious is it to receive such beautiful Art from such loving friends! Thank you for sharing your friends creativity & your creativity Barbara❤️🦋❤️🦋 Sending love and hugs to everyone.
I'm a newer viewer of your videos. I enjoy the style of your art as well as your videos. I was ready for someone different, after only watching the same handful of JJ gals for years. I watched your getting to know you videos and enjoy knowing a little more about who you are as I begin, so thanks for those. Congratulations on your (almost) new craft room! It's lovely! I look forward to more videos with you!
Dear Barbara, I like this new planner very much! And your new kit is very beautiful. I like the colours and the images. It fits perfect to the fabric. In my opinion this kit is yours. I can see, that is from you. Have a nice weekend. Love from Rita😘😘
I love watching your journal building process Barbara. Thank you for sharing it again. The new digital kit is beautiful and I feel it still contains your signature style. As a scrapbooker as well as a junk journal enthusiast I love it.
Dear Barbara- I love the new planner pages. They are a little different from your usual but without a doubt I would recognize your style! Thanks for sharing your creative endeavors with us.
Awww - I LOVE the card that Eelco made. It definitely brings sunshine, and happiness - all the way to New Zealand!!! (Please pass this on to Maureen and Eelco if you wish). 🧡💚🤎
Thank you Lilly, so much. Barbara sent me a mesage of your sweet reply, so I thought I'd answer here to you. I passed it on to my brother and he has an even bigger smile on his face now 😘
@@MaureenAstrid Oh! My Goodness! Now I've got few happy tears. Which is as it should be - as it just goes to show how Junk Journaling, and being creative in general, can connect so many of us in a positive way - not matter where we are. 🧡💚🤎x
I think your style is constantly evolving. It also depends on which journal you are using whether you go grungy or shabby chic vintage or another style. This is one of the things that keeps your videos so interesting although I enjoy watching all your videos just to hang out as I am in a desert when it comes to papercrafters in real life.
Beautiful new kit. Gorgeous new Journal. Love that cover. That lace was perfect match for that cover. You make everything look easy. You are such a great teacher. Always love your work.
Hello Barbara! I feel that your style is growing in a good way. I liked what you did for this new planner. The compositions are very dynamic and provide a lot of movement to the eye. Great job! I look forward to seeing you fill all the gaps with new ephemera snacks! XOXO 💗
It is different from your usual style, but it still reflects you. I like this kit a lot. I love watching you making your planners and find the videos inspiring. I started making planners, but use an A4 exercise book and can fit 8 months into them. Love, love doing them. It is an easy create for me, because I still suffer from a Covid brain...it is improving slowly but surely and my doctor encouraged me to accept my "limitations" and not stress so much about them. Stressing hampers my progress she stressed. Apparently Long Covid causes some neurological damage and stressing does not help overcoming it. So I also addressed my post card to me and stressed that I must be really kind to myself. Thank you for your inspiring videos and your encouragement in my healing process. It is taking really long, but everyday bring its own small victory. God bless you richly. Kind regards from South Africa.
Barbara, I am so happy that I found your channel. I am drawn to it daily and it helps me to remain motivated. I am using some of your techniques in my own journals. I've made a few of them. When I finally share them on my social media I will tag you. I hope it will work. Take care and thanks for the plethora junk journaling videos.
Barbara: both new journal and book review was really well done. Your digitals are lovely. It seems like you’re in transition again. An artist is always growing and has so many different stages they go thru. Most impressive. Carol from California
thank you so much ms barbara for showing your technique on sewing in the signatures! i have poked myself many times, including in my knee.. not sure what I was thinking sewing in signatures outside of the working table!🤣
Oh my goodness you are such an inspiration. I love your paper bag journals. Love the mauve lace u you used on your beautiful cover. I look forward to your videos. 💕🌸
Thanks for showing how you put together your journals. I was surprised you only put 4pages in each signature and that you covered the coffee dyed paper with printables. Just surprised. Love your style and your uplifting laugh. Thanks for sharing.
What a lovely kit again. I think it’s very different in one way, but not at all in another. Does that make any sense 😅. For sure is it completely suits your style 🤩🤩🤩
Your channel is so different and rapidly becoming one of my favorites. Your inspiration will be a welcome influence to my own developing style of journal making. P.s. I’m looking forward to the 2024 planner bundle.
G'day Barbara. I love this kit, it's both different to your normal style but also elements of your usual style. I really like the colours. I've made 6 journals since I've started in 2021 and I must say sowing in the signatures are my least favourite part but the sense of satisfaction after it's done, makes me do it again ...
Hi Barbara! I Love the planner vídeos! They are my favorite! I am so in love with this New kit! I stp2ped the vídeo to go to your store and buy it! I Love it so much! It is fall in Brazil, but nobody is taking this kit away from my may planner! 😂 thank you so much for the adorable kits, vídeos and inspiration! I Love your channel and my husband already recognizes your voice! Big fans here! Have a Nice day! ❤
so don’t see the green just re fold so the green is on the inside and brown outside that’s what i do when it shows through my paper or fabric, beautiful fabrics btw and love the new kit ❤
It always amazes me that Europeans always rip your fabric 😂 we use a rotary cutter or scissors. Although I haven’t used scissors in years. I only use scissors when I absolutely have to 😂. I even have one for paper but I do rip most paper in journals. Very pretty fabric, had no idea that Tim Holtz had fabric, but I have so much fabric it’s quite crazy really but as a quilter also it’s just an obsession lol. I love watching your videos ❤
Thanks so much! I love tearing the fabric as I can be sure it’s straight, plus I like the frayed edge it gives me. I’m hopeless with a rotary cutter 🙈.
Very inspired!...I love when you make things out of a paper shopping bag... I have so many of them waiting.....I can't wait to make one...I broke my little finger so it will be a while before I can........😻
I’m always so inspired by your videos, and actually have been considering starting making my own junk journal for my reading! Thanks so much for all the information and just simply sharing your journey, I can always find something in your videos to add to my hypothetical journal 😂 Have a lovely day! ❤
Love your journal/planner & vintage done w/ color!! I think this new kit shows your progression as an artist...beautifully!! 🩵🦋🩷 P.S. Such a sweet card from Maureen & Eelco!! 💌
Love this kit, of course I love all your kits,. So, I read the book. I agree with everything you said about it. Started reading and couldn’t put it down, was up all night finishing it. Great book. Going to order her other one. I always agree with your book reviews.
Oh Barbara, dein neues Digital gefällt mir sehr. Ach und mit Ella und Louis, musste gleich an meine Lieblingsversion von "Summertime" denken. Und dann noch die Seiten in diesem wunderschönen helltürkis oder aqua, eine meiner absoluten Lieblingsfarben, da war ich sofort hingerissen. Das werde ich mirkaufen😊. Ich finde es passt sehr gut zu dir und deinem Stil. Der darf sich doch erweitern und erneuern. Das ist doch das Schön daran. Wenn man sich da zu arg festlegt, grenzt man sich doch ein. ❤ LG Ute
I just love ❤️ your new kit Barbara!! And your planners are beautiful 😍.. I made a mini one from envelopes for the year but I love this idea of larger ones with 3/4months at a time or perhaps just in seasons. Thanks for being so inspirational ❤much love xx
Barbara, thanks for another fun inspiring video! You are such an artist, yet you make the things you do seem doable by others. Like me. I watch your coffee chats too - really fun! I was sorry to be shocked by the book description at the end. I really like that you show us how you'll use the things you make. So that was nice. But your channel is sweet, friendly, safe, and kind. I was pretty upset by hearing a description of a horror book in that context. I wonder if you will consider keeping all of your content in that light-hearted tone, and not mixing in the dark stuff.😊
As usual I just love your work and the book that you just made.. I'm actually going to make another one for my granddaughter for her birthday...she has requested another one she has one already but I am going to make the paper bag one and she likes the vagabond kind of characters so that's the feel of this particular book that I'll be making. You have such fantastic ideas and a way that is infectious for me to try the new things that you show us. I just love it keep up the good work Barbara, as usual...p.s. I'm reading the Minato, Confessions book right now and you're right... it just hold onto you...
Lovely Barbara. Next time just turn you paper bag inside out and you won’t have any pattern showing through your fabric. I hope you don’t mind me sharing this with you. I love everything you do and make. Mwah mwah. ❤
Great planner again❤. Maybe its possible to fold the greenside of the bag to the inside, not shown...? Then you dont need to paint over it...😊 Just an idea. Love your videos❤❤
Always fun to watch, turned out very pretty. Couldn't help but wonder if you could have used the inside of the bag instead of gessoing the outside? Maybe the ink went right through?
I love these covers you're making! I'm jealous of your paper bags. Where I live now, in Texas, we get biodegradable plastic bags - no paper. When I was living in CA we got no bags at all. So sad. If I ever find somewhere you can get paper bags I'll have to shop several times and hoard them - even if they're stashed in a suitcase! I have some of that Tim Holtz fabric on the way. I can't wait to use it!
Hello, I am a new subscriber to your channel and I love what you create! I’ve never made a junk journal but I’m completely inspired! Thank you for sharing your creativity ♥️
Oh what a cool kit, I'm loving the old photos😍 especially the dancing girls! Aww cute card, homemade ones are the best! I loved making my first paper bag cover and will definitely make more with my stash of Amazon bags. Only one of our stores use paper which is shocking! Gorgeous fabrics 😍 I've been printing digitals on cotton and calico to save money. I've got lots of favourite glues but always happy to find out more info. I love that iron, hate doing the ironing 🙈. Yes I only print on matt photo paper now. Yummy lace 😍. The kit is definitely different from your others. Lol that's why I stopped using graph paper for my templates🙊. Lol eeuw mystery🙊 I love that that's a genre. That's quite a heavy story 🙈. That's weird knowing the murderer at the beginning. Another very beautiful journal 😍😍😍. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖
Barbara, this turned out so very pretty. Love the material you used for the cover. Your planner papers are so pretty. I don’t know if this would’ve worked but since you cut the bag open, could you have turned it inside out to where the green print would’ve been on the inside? It’s nice it’s more then just a planner, how you added special things inside that happened that month. Love it! TFS! ❤
@@49dragonflies I was telling you hit guess you could’ve hear me. Sometimes we don’t think if things like that especially when doing a video, which I could never do. LOL. You do great with videos and I’m always appreciative of you doing them. Always thanks for giving your time and talent to all of us. 😊❤️
Ich mag es auch nicht zu bügeln 🙈… Stoff fürs Journal ist immer etwas anders! 😉 Mttlerweile klebe ich lieber mein Fotopapier auf dickes, normales Papier, bevor ich direkt darauf drucke. Es ist ein himmelweiter Unterschied, da gebe ich dir recht! Ich hab mich jetzt auch an ein Plannerjournal gesetzt… es fühlt sich richtig an 😊. Dein Planner ist wieder absolut wundervoll geworden und ja, dein Papier ist vom Design her anders als sonst. Ich finde aber, es passt zu dir und deinem Stil! 👍 Vielen Dank für das Video! Liebe Grüße Nicole
Hallo Barbara, ich finde dein neues Papier klasse. Ich finde man sollte als Künstler auch immer mal was Neues ausprobieren. Du hast in diesem Fall das Neue mit dem was du sonst immer machst super gemischt. Ich finde es sehr stimmig und bin gespannt, ob du in Zukunft weiter experimentierst. Also von mir ein Daumen nach oben :-)))) Ich mag deine Videos, weil du immer sehr interessant erzählst und dich nicht in sonstigen Erzählungen verlierst. Du bleibst immer am Thema. Was ich nun durch dich festgestellt habe ist, dass ich mir bevor ich mit dem Journal starte, erstmal alles was rein soll und dazu passt zusammenstelle und dann erst loslege. Danke dafür. Ich sass immer am Tisch und lief beim basteln hin und her, weil ich dachte ach da habe ich noch was das ich nehmen kann und dort.....war immer total gestresst davon. Hätte ich wohl auch selber drauf kommen können, aber manchmal sieht man den Wald vor Bäumen nicht. Werde mir nächsten Monat dein Papier kaufen. Diesen klappt das nicht mehr. lg
Vielen lieben Dank für dein nettes Feedback! Es freut mich, dass dir mein neues Papier gefällt und, dass du durch die neue Methode nicht so gestresst bist! ❤️😊
🥰 thank you sweetie for showing the card, and thanking Eelco. He was watching so intently and then he had a huge smile on his face when he realised you love the card so much 🥰 What a wonderful way to cheer up your day and in doing so cheering up our day too. Sending another big hug 💞

Thanks so much for your feedback! ❤️ Yes, I think I understand what you mean.
Been awhile since making something similar... reckon it is time to do another one... thank you for the push... and thank you for sharing... love it...

Barbra,
Have you ever thought to flip the green side of your bag to the inside of the bag? We love all advice you give us, from collage to glue. 😊
Thanks! I don’t know how I missed that option 🙈😂
I’m always so inspired by your videos, and actually have been considering starting making my own junk journal for my reading!
Thanks so much for all the information and just simply sharing your journey, I can always find something in your videos to add to my hypothetical journal 😂 Have a lovely day! ❤
Thanks so much and yes to making a reading junk journal!
Beautiful new planner xx
Hi. Love the kit! I have never seen it though if making inside of envelope as a tuck. Awesome idea!
Gorgeous kit love your journal💕

I love the cover...great job Barbara..

Muy bonito, me han gustado mucho la armonia de colores.
Oh Barbara, dein neues Digital gefällt mir sehr. Ach und mit Ella und Louis, musste gleich an meine Lieblingsversion von "Summertime" denken. Und dann noch die Seiten in diesem wunderschönen helltürkis oder aqua, eine meiner absoluten Lieblingsfarben, da war ich sofort hingerissen. Das werde ich mirkaufen😊. Ich finde es passt sehr gut zu dir und deinem Stil. Der darf sich doch erweitern und erneuern. Das ist doch das Schön daran. Wenn man sich da zu arg festlegt, grenzt man sich doch ein. ❤ LG Ute

Awesome! Inspiring! 💖
Love this planner! Surprised you didn't just turn the bag inside out instead of painting it.
...ich habe den gleichen Gedanken gehabt!! Wahrscheinlich wieder die 'Aufregung' wegen der Kamera, nicht wahr
Sweety? 😘😘😅😅
Thanks! Yup, no idea why I didn’t think of that 🙈☺️
Das wahr wohl so 🙄😂

Perfect video. Exactly what I needed.. I have been trying to do this but it always ends up being hard from the glue
I hope this method will help! ❤️

sounds like so much fun :)
It is so exciting to start a new planner/journal . My only problem is I have no space for all of them 😊
Lovely Barbara. Next time just turn you paper bag inside out and you won’t have any pattern showing through your fabric. I hope you don’t mind me sharing this with you. I love everything you do and make. Mwah mwah. ❤
Thanks! Don’t know how I didn’t think of that! 🙈😂
💓💓 Adoro
I absolutely love this. I think it fits your style :) you can have a few different styles
Great planner again❤. Maybe its possible to fold the greenside of the bag to the inside, not shown...? Then you dont need to paint over it...😊 Just an idea. Love your videos❤❤
Yes, that would have worked brilliantly 🤣🙈
Book sounds terrific! I’m working on my paper bag journal now. Plan to follow you in the future.
Just love a paper bag journal💕
Always fun to watch, turned out very pretty. Couldn't help but wonder if you could have used the inside of the bag instead of gessoing the outside? Maybe the ink went right through?
Yup, didn’t think of it 🙄🤣
I love these covers you're making! I'm jealous of your paper bags. Where I live now, in Texas, we get biodegradable plastic bags - no paper. When I was living in CA we got no bags at all. So sad. If I ever find somewhere you can get paper bags I'll have to shop several times and hoard them - even if they're stashed in a suitcase! I have some of that Tim Holtz fabric on the way. I can't wait to use it!
Robin, I have a gigantic stash of paper bags and would be happy to share with you. Let me know if you would like me to send some to you.
Thank you! Im sure you can find some on Amazon if all else fails 😊.
That’s so kind of you! ❤️
@@dianeestes9004 Thank you! Are you in the states. I will reimburse you for postage!
@Robin Yes, I live in Virginia Beach.Can you message me with your information?
Hello, I am a new subscriber to your channel and I love what you create! I’ve never made a junk journal but I’m completely inspired! Thank you for sharing your creativity ♥️
Thank you and have fun! 😃❤️

Oh what a cool kit, I'm loving the old photos😍 especially the dancing girls! Aww cute card, homemade ones are the best! I loved making my first paper bag cover and will definitely make more with my stash of Amazon bags. Only one of our stores use paper which is shocking! Gorgeous fabrics 😍 I've been printing digitals on cotton and calico to save money. I've got lots of favourite glues but always happy to find out more info. I love that iron, hate doing the ironing 🙈. Yes I only print on matt photo paper now. Yummy lace 😍. The kit is definitely different from your others. Lol that's why I stopped using graph paper for my templates🙊. Lol eeuw mystery🙊 I love that that's a genre. That's quite a heavy story 🙈. That's weird knowing the murderer at the beginning. Another very beautiful journal 😍😍😍. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖
Thanks sweetie! Those Amazon bags are fabulous! Have a great weekend! ❤️
Barbara, this turned out so very pretty. Love the material you used for the cover. Your planner papers are so pretty. I don’t know if this would’ve worked but since you cut the bag open, could you have turned it inside out to where the green print would’ve been on the inside? It’s nice it’s more then just a planner, how you added special things inside that happened that month. Love it! TFS! ❤
Thanks Pam! No idea why I didn’t think of that 🙄
@@49dragonflies I was telling you hit guess you could’ve hear me. Sometimes we don’t think if things like that especially when doing a video, which I could never do. LOL. You do great with videos and I’m always appreciative of you doing them. Always thanks for giving your time and talent to all of us. 😊❤️
@@pambotter365 aaaaaw ❤️
Great journal and I LOVE the kit! I think it is a bit different from your usual style, but I see it as added accents to it.
Love these junk journals. I am curious why you are tying off the threads at the bottom instead of the in the middle of the signsture?
Thanks! Just because it’s easier to weave up from the bottom and end there again 😊
Ich mag es auch nicht zu bügeln 🙈… Stoff fürs Journal ist immer etwas anders! 😉 Mttlerweile klebe ich lieber mein Fotopapier auf dickes, normales Papier, bevor ich direkt darauf drucke. Es ist ein himmelweiter Unterschied, da gebe ich dir recht! Ich hab mich jetzt auch an ein Plannerjournal gesetzt… es fühlt sich richtig an 😊. Dein Planner ist wieder absolut wundervoll geworden und ja, dein Papier ist vom Design her anders als sonst. Ich finde aber, es passt zu dir und deinem Stil! 👍 Vielen Dank für das Video!
Liebe Grüße Nicole
Vielen Dank für dein nettes Feedback, Nicole! Freut mich, dass ein Panner/JJ auch für dich passt! 😊❤️
Hallo Barbara, ich finde dein neues Papier klasse. Ich finde man sollte als Künstler auch immer mal was Neues ausprobieren. Du hast in diesem Fall das Neue mit dem was du sonst immer machst super gemischt. Ich finde es sehr stimmig und bin gespannt, ob du in Zukunft weiter experimentierst. Also von mir ein Daumen nach oben :-)))) Ich mag deine Videos, weil du immer sehr interessant erzählst und dich nicht in sonstigen Erzählungen verlierst. Du bleibst immer am Thema. Was ich nun durch dich festgestellt habe ist, dass ich mir bevor ich mit dem Journal starte, erstmal alles was rein soll und dazu passt zusammenstelle und dann erst loslege. Danke dafür. Ich sass immer am Tisch und lief beim basteln hin und her, weil ich dachte ach da habe ich noch was das ich nehmen kann und dort.....war immer total gestresst davon. Hätte ich wohl auch selber drauf kommen können, aber manchmal sieht man den Wald vor Bäumen nicht. Werde mir nächsten Monat dein Papier kaufen. Diesen klappt das nicht mehr. lg
Vielen lieben Dank für dein nettes Feedback! Es freut mich, dass dir mein neues Papier gefällt und, dass du durch die neue Methode nicht so gestresst bist! ❤️😊
Beautiful work as usual, Barbra. I have a question for you how often do you put up a code for the digital collage club:)
Thanks! I’m not sure I understand your question. The links and codes are there all the time. You can find them under each of my videos.
Have you tried a floating spine with the paper bag? Just wondering?
Do you mean a hidden spine? If so, I think I usually sew through the paper bag.
