Hi! I just saw your beautiful journals. Hubby was enthralled and I had to pause your video so he could read the book as you were flipping through. Now I’m on my search for some of these little golden books, especially Santa’s Surprise Book-Or the book that had the little mice. I’m going to make him his very own junk journal. Mind you, he’s 67 years old and he has all the whimsy of a youngster. Thank you so much for sharing your art. Blessings.
Oh, my goodness! When I saw Santa sampling Mrs. Claus’ cooking I had to stop the video temporarily just to comment. A favorite Christmas family recipe would be the perfect companion page.
This brings me to tears, my childhood memories, I just started paper crafting ,maybe one day I could make one, I appreciate your kindness to share with me...have a Beautiful Evening!!
You truly stayed in the vintage and nostalgic theme. They bring back so many memories. The stories were always sweet and gentle. Putting the extras in is the icing on the cake
These are so fun! I like your simple approach to these. Not everyone likes those 'junkier' messier types. I like how you kept the book and story intact. I really enjoy your videos and ideas. Thank you for sharing your talent.
I agree 100%! I‘m not a fan of the lace and ribbons you typically see in junk journals, so this cleaner look is perfect. They seem a lot more practical for everyday journaling.
Agreed. I have watched lots of videos but the bulky messy ones are not my type. I like the clean looking ones. Not stuff hanging out all over. Lol. I just wish the gold part can be kept. I don’t see a video of anyone keeping the gold binding in it which is a huge part of the book.
OMG, these are so precious, I just love this idea. 💖 What a special gift for a child or now adult . I have all of the books I read my now adult children. This would be an amazing gift. And a lot of them are Little Golden Books. 😊💖
Thank you so much for sharing, not only your awesome talents with us, but also this flip-through of a book I hadn't seen in about 50 years. When I saw the page with the stockings, happy memories flooded my mind. :)
I just found you and I love all the creations you make. I am going to watch every single video. I do LGB junk journaling this is a great idea for binding. Thank you!!
What a cute idea. I have so many pages ready for regular junk journals. I need to look for some little children's books. I love October afternoon! I need to spend some money for paper, stickers etc because while on a substitute teacher assignment I let the fifth graders make a junk journal...they wiped me out! Such fun!
I love these!! I am going to go through all of my golden books when I get home!! It was really like a jump back in time because i am old enough that I think I had most of these books when I was kid!!
What an xamazing video Amber! I can’t thank you enough! What an awesome gift for my family for me to take the golden books of my special needs son who passed away two years ago and give them something to cherish for the rest of their lives. You are totally AWESOME!!! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!❤️❤️❤️
I think they worth more than $15! You spent so much time and thought in this. This is a great idea! I am thinking to make a unicorn one! Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Made everything so easy. And your tip about taking the journals to the local print shop to be drilled was GENIUS! I just dropped off 26 books and held my breath when the clerk was calculating the cost. WAIT FOR IT...$8.00 for 26 books! I couldn't believe my ears! So thank you for that invaluable tip!
Love this idea...so cute. I have lots of LGB from when my daughter was growing up. All her kids had there turn with them also. Maybe I could do one book for each grandchild...to match their personalities. TFS
I just found your video. Thanks for sharing your method. Your books are really beautiful. I have a really nice pile of LG Books so I will be making some soon. The pockets are very nice. I will definitely make some of those. All the best to you from South Africa 🎄💫 for Christmas and the new year
Oh my goodness. I am in love with that Santa book!! You did a great job! I really like how well you explain how to do this. Very organized and detailed.
So, I am just seeing this now-- I watch while at work doing some boring folding work. Anyways-- love this idea...you are so creative and talented. Just found your channel...love it, thanks for sharing!!!
This tutorial was so thoughtful! You covered every aspect of making these journals. I've seen lots of other videos on the subject, but they look so much more complicated than yours. I have a print shop less than a mile from my home that we've hired to do signs for the craft fair that we coordinate. I will definitely be asking them to drill my books. Here's a tip for you: Many libraries have used book sales, especially in the spring and summer. I went to ours in July specifically looking for LGB. I found a ton of them, everything from Christmas to Easter to Disney, etc. I came home with 65! Those, along with several novels set me back $30! Now that's a bargain. Looking forward to watching more of your tutorials. Thanks from Gettysburg, PA
Love this book! Amazing. I have never heard of this. I love Little Golden Books and have quite a collection. I’m going to try this after Christmas. Thank you!
I just found your channel and this particular video in the past few weeks. I absolutely adore this series! And like many of your sub's I agree that you are a wonderful teacher! I wanted to make one of these as a Christmas gift but it was just a little too close to Christmas to do it in all the hustle and bustle. Now I get to work on it without the stress! Lol! I have never ever gotten into scrap booking but you are an inspiration to say the least. Please know that God has really used you to get the creative part of me moving again and only He knows how much I need that right now! My mother just passed away in September and we all know how much this type of therapy is needed just in the ordinary times. So thank you! God bless you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Hi Amber I am from Australia and love your craft fair ideas your a great inspiration I have also been collecting these books and your idea has made me want to make one of these books for sure. I do have the same book. Keep up with your craft fair ideas they are ever so great
Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful ideas! I discovered your channel about a month ago and I am making one of these journals for my cousin. Your directions are easy to follow and you have a great voice to listen to for directions. Merry Christmas!
I LOVE this idea for doing my December Daily. Thank you for all of your Craft Fair tutorials, I have made so many fun things for my co-workers, friends and family. I have also watched tutorials from years passed and found so much inspiration.
I've always loved LGBs! I've never wanted to make anything called a junk journal until now. I agree with others, this is far too special to put it in the same category as junk journals. Thank you for making this video and all your other videos. I sell at craft fairs but sometimes want to make something just for me - this is one of those items. I don't think you realize how much you awaken the creative spirit in people, especially for someone like me who doesn't think she's especially creative at things like this but wants to dip her toes in it. Your tips and links are so helpful. And your pricing is exactly what people want - thank you for that (I don't bother watching craft fair tutorial videos that don't include pricing). Your videos may give us the push to do it. I AM good at buying crafts supplies. Thank you for helping me to realize I can actually make something special just for me ... one day! You are an incredible lady!
I've been wanting to make these too! As usual you give the perfect directions on how to make. Your books are ADORABLE! Thanks for sharing with us! Now I need to fast forward and see if you sold out of all of these at your craft fair! I bet you did!
Thank you, Amber, for showing this tutorial! I wanted to do a LGB for my Grandson this year (2021) for his birthday on Christmas Eve! I really appreciate your step by step adding papers, and envelopes, too. I’ll be adding photos for him, to finish it off for him a bit. I’ve watched a lot of tutorials, but love YOURS the best! God Bless xoxo Gillian
I have been following you for months and months. I found your LBG junk journal tutorial and tried your version. Have been paper crafting a long time but new to TH-cam for teaching, etc. I will be uploading the video to my channel tomorrow. I am trying different binding methods and just have to say your design layout and "spine design" is fantastic. I will be doing the ring journals for a more modern design and fabric and traditional spine for some of the others. I just wanted to say thanks for this great tutorial. I rave about you in tomorrow's video so thought I should stop by and let you know! Thanks for your channel, I love it! Happy Crafting!
Every year I make handmade gifts for 6 of my friends, it's a tradition they've come to love (and expect, lol). It's hard to find the perfect gift that will suit 6 different types of people, but thanks to you and this awesome idea, I've just found their gift for this year!!! Can't wait to get started ♥
💓💚💓 This was truly ExTrAordinary!!! I have dozens of vintage LGB's from the 70's and I cannot wait to get started on them. Some are Christmas but I think the others will be precious as well. Thanks for sharing this!!! 💚💓💚
Oh these are just adorable, ideal as a December Daily or just a journal depending on the subject of book, we don't have Golden Books in the UK but similar like Ladybird books or Janet & John, I'll be stalking the charity shops for hard backed children's books now... thank you for sharing.....
Love these! I make junk journals myself. These are so much different than the ones I make and also most I have seen. Even compared to the junk journals I have seen made with the same books. I love that you make every idea(even if not originally your idea) your own original way. Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful ideas and work with us.
Thank you so much for this. I love LGBs so much but I couldn't stand destroying them. This preserves the artwork and story AND makes it new and useful. Thank you so much
I have been hoarding LGB to make junk journals too. You inspired me to get a move on them. I also like that you made it look simple and streamlined, along with your tips. Thank you!
I am new to your channel, and really enjoying it! I have an old Andy Pandy album from the 60's, and as I'm really minimalising the possessions in my home, had no clue what to do with it..BUT..now that I've seen this tutorial, I am so glad can make it into my journal (I was born in 1963, so very apt!) using your ideas (I always seem to mess up writing out cards, so therefore I have some cute extra envelopes!)...utterly fabulous!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I know this is almost 3 years old but, you are a very good teacher! Excellent job and beautiful!
Thank you so much!

That’s so sweet!!!!! Makes me smile! ❤️❤️❤️
I can’t tell you how much I love this comment!
Oh, my goodness! When I saw Santa sampling Mrs. Claus’ cooking I had to stop the video temporarily just to comment. A favorite Christmas family recipe would be the perfect companion page.
Great idea!
That's actually a Great idea!!!!

Oh my gosh. looking at all of these books takes me right back to my childhood. Some of those books were my favorite growing up!

Omg if I made these I couldn’t get rid of them 😂 so so precious! Love it!
I have not done any papercrafting since my dad died in 2009. I think you have encouraged me to take it up again.
They’re fabulous! I had a few of those. Loved them as a kid! Great idea. I’ll have to find mine. Don’t know where they are now 🤔 will hunt for them.
These are A-dorable! Love how you designed & put them together. So creative!
WOW! Thank you Kathy for all you do! I enjoy your channel so much!
