    How, I mean HOW can one be soooo extremely brave, patient and especially CALM when those things happen??? I would have freaked out completely.... Not so you. That's one reason why you're such a big role model for me!

      Barbara the Matt photo paper is the reason the inklifting didn't work... Luise made a video about this paper. It makes the inks waterproof😅. Exactly the reason I bought it❤❤

    I was passionately cheering for you with each little disaster revealed. You tested the limits for things to get bad and all of a sudden turned the project into a cool one. You pulled it off with the ‘never give up’. Really enjoyed this!

    I love real time videos that show all the good, bad and ugly. In your case, it turned out beautiful in the end! I knew you could do it ❤

    Oh, Barbara! I was commiserating with you each step of the way and thinking to myself that we have all had those moments-thinking things weren’t going as we hoped, thinking we had ruined our work. But giving ourselves time to accept what we have and making it into something we like is worth the struggle. Thank you for sharing your frustrations. It turned into a really great page.

  • @carolm4094

    The last few weeks have been troublesome for you but you make me laugh so much!😂 We all have bad craft days and I love how you leave them in for us to see (and laugh with you)! Thanks for sharing Barbara! Love your videos.❤

    You are such a talented artist and warm person…it made me smile to see that I’m not the only one who struggles with a project gone wrong. I love that you persevered and ended up with something wonderful. There is a lesson for all of us in that!,

  • @CarolGefre
    @CarolGefre ปีที่แล้ว

    Not a disaster at all. The point is you were determined to work it out and you did perfectly! It looks great!! That's what I love about Junk Journaling things might not go as planned but it always works out!

  • @pambotter355
    @pambotter355 ปีที่แล้ว

    Barbara, how cool you didn’t give up. I think I would’ve tore the page out. Now you have inspired me not to give up! You picked the perfect quote to go in the page. Absolutely love how this all turned out and glad you kept the lady whole. Such a cool idea. TFS! ❤

  • @angelaarnold4255
    @angelaarnold4255 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Red is my favorite color. But watching you work (and work and work) this page, I realized I’ve never…. Not once used red in any Journal I’ve ever made. I love the way this turned out. I need to remember this and never give up. Beautiful.

  • @francescab5047
    @francescab5047 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I appreciate when you show us also when things go …. not in the right way. And I ‘be fun when you say “ ohhh nooo”😂. At the end you turn in a beautiful result. Not all bad is bad😃

  • @cassandracleveland

    @paratrooperwife ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for being real, and for showing the failure (the challenging part) as well as the success. I appreciate that as a creator, you are real with your content. I need that reminder for when I try and fail - it reminds me that it's ok and normal to have ideas go sideways. Love your content Barbara!

    Hi Barbara, you're so sweet, and you do make me laugh (in a nice way). I LOVE your videos, especially as you show your mistakes too. Things can always be rectified can't they. You certainly got there in the end, and it turned out beautiful. Your videos are brilliant - thank you so much for sharing this with us. Take care, xx❤😊😊

  • @lynnbeard2450
    @lynnbeard2450 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Some of that video was painful to watch, but your snickering and added laughter just cracks me up.😅 You persevered and I am happy you got a result you are happy with!!! Yes i am encouraged: keep going is my take away here. Thanks!!❤

  • @maryschuler9512
    @maryschuler9512 ปีที่แล้ว

    I could almost hear Luisa "Barbara, No! What are you doing?" 😅This is normal disaster journaling for me. 😂. Its encouraging to watch you keep going and remain calm and laugh at yourself until you get the result you are happy with. The red leaves we're brilliant even though at the beginning you thought only the other red should be there. I ❤ the outcome. Love from Florida.

  • @jneigler

  • @francescab5047
    @francescab5047 ปีที่แล้ว

    Fantastic. Also the sentiment ‘ inspection requested’ put near the moon would be nice. So when you browse the pages you say: ok I control/ look here”

    WOW! This is the best example of "never give up" that I've seen! I have quite a few "far from stellar" pages that I didn't give up on but none of them turned out anywhere as close to awesome as this did. Very nice job (and it was inspiring and encouraging to see the whole process!!). 💔❤‍🩹❤💖

    Barbara, your perseverance is amazing. I’d surely have given up and torn the page out completely so I’d never see it again!!! 😡 You saved it, and I was so happy that you heard me say “those branches should be red”, lol. I must learn patience. I’m only good for 2 attempts at fixing before I start raging…

    Dear Barbara, you are so amazingly calm and patient, and that reward you with this awesome result!❤❤❤ During the process, I was thinking that I would have definitely torn the card out of the journal if I was in your place! Furthermore, I would have ended up disappointed and thinking that I'm not good enough for that (thankfully that wouldn't last much!) I LOVED the red flower leaves, what a great idea! The whole page turn out amazing! Thank you so much for the great lesson of not giving up! Sweet greetings from Athens, Elena.😘😘😘

    I learned my lesson when I melted my self-healing craft mat with my heat gun….I bought a splat mat that is meant for your oven, i cut it in 2 pieces and it works great for covering pages while you dry things. I also use it as a crafting mat, hot glue and other glues don’t stick.😁💕
