It turned out beautiful great job ❤
@@sherryvanderpool8644 Thank you very much Sherry 🤗
When I made one I didn't put a spine on ❤
I realized that as I talked my way through it. :0) LOL Sometimes I'm so involved in the craft I don't think straight. :0)
💜🎶Good morning Celeste. THANKS for sharing...I like the accordion style .. beautiful papers and ephemera 💜🎶🇨🇦
Thank you for watching, Caroline. 😊 I'm glad you liked it. It's a fun way to add extra doodle and writing space.
Good morning Celeste. Immediately I noticed that I have the same napkin that you used. Hmm did you send that to me or I sent it to you? LOL I don't remember. How I know this, I am making a journal for a friend and I used that same napkin with the bee. I just like to say that great minds this alike! 🥰I like how you used washi tape for the corners. Very Creative. I love it. BTW, I am on Chapter 4 of your book. I haven't read a book in a long time, so every chance I get, I read a couple of chapters. I really like the story and my sister wants to read your book after I am done! 🤩I hope you have a great Wednesday and a wonderful Thanksgiving!! XO Gina
LOL Great minds absolutely think alike. :0) That is the napkin that you sent me. I've used it in several projects now. :0) It's so pretty. Thank you. I'm so excited that you're reading my book. I'd love to hear what you think of it at the end. Thank you for your support, Gina. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family too. :0)
@@acraftersstory LOL yes absolutely, great minds think alike. I am enjoying your book. It just might take me a little longer to read. For some reason, time is never my friend! We did have a great Thanksgiving at the restaurant with my in-laws. They don't like to cook anymore and it was just the four of us. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Take care my friend!
@@PerfectlyImperfectJunkJournals ❤️
Hi Celeste, I have made a few lately. I have 2 on video. One was made with scraps in an untidy manner, but still works as you keep the folds in place. The 2nd is made from watercolour paper that I have had forever. Then most of the insides were created by watercolour on more watercolour paper. So all my own artwork (or nearly all?). Yes the idea of this type of journal is not to have a spine, but you start with one side & carry on and you open the other like a perpetual journal. 😊😊😊💖💖💖
Thanks Hazy. I've made these before but I hadn't done it by lacing the papers together. I'm definitely going to make more. I'm finally using up a bunch of papers. I have to seriously stop hoarding my craft supplies. LOL :0)
Good morning Celeste, i cannot believe I missed this video 😮 The tea designs are so unique and beautiful! You are so creative with your hand drawings, basically you are an artist! ❤ Thank you for sharing your techniques! ❤ Gina
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Gina. You are very kind. 😊 I love using these as collage papers.
💜🎶Good day Celeste .. Those tea bags make some great designs .. .. all the painted patterns are lovely☕🖌 💜🎶🇨🇦
Thank you so much, Caroline! 😊 The color was a wonderful surprise. :0)
Celeste, every video you made just amazing me and puts too many motivating thoughts in my crowed creative brain! LOL But I love it. Thank you for sharing! Have a great day! Gina
LOL :0) There is always room for a little extra creativity. I'm happy you liked it. I hope you have a great weekend too. :0)
Is this gift wrapping tissue paper ❤
Hi Sherry, no this is just plain old toilet paper. I tried paper towel but it was a little too thick. :0)
I'll be giving this a try ❤
Yay. I hope you have fun with it. :0)
💜🎶Good morning Celeste Happy accidents ! Nice idea 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 💜🎶🇨🇦
So true. Thank you for stopping by and watching, Caroline. 😊
What a great idea!! Thank you so much for sharing it!!
You’re welcome! I’m so glad you liked it. 😊
Ooooohhhhhhhh 🤩🤩🤩🤩 great Idea 😍 I will try this ….thank you for sharing 💖
You’re welcome 😊 It's fun too.
Wouah hahaha, fantastique, merci pour ce joli tuto, à bientôt ❤❤💋💋💋💋
You're very welcome. I'm glad you liked it. Merci. :0)
Absolutely beautiful 🤩 I love it ❣️ Greetings from Germany
Thank you very much for your kindness! 😊
Hi Celeste. I love the size and no doubt all the amazing details. 🤩What I love best is that you allow lots of areas to journal ...and then there are all the details! Just lovely! Have a wonderful day! Gina
Thanks a million Gina. It was a fun one to make. I have another piece of canvas and will probably try this again. Thank you for watching. :0)

Beautiful tea stained paper cute ideas❤
Thank you so much Sherry! 😊 Sometimes I think that the simpler something is, the nicer it turns out. Thank you for stopping by. :0)
I have laid normal teabags on paper with tea in it, too, but just gave me dark patches, which was actually quite nice, but I do love this effect better. No-one in this house drinks herbal teas - I noticed the pretty variations in your papers. I will have a go at this with just a teabag soaking onto the page rather than a load of tea as well. See what effect it has. Love the items you made, too. (I watched this yesterday, but realised I hadn't given you a comment & a like🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊💖💖💖
Thanks a million Hazy. Some of the pages I've done in the past were with just where I lay down teabag after teabag without soaking the paper. I might have laid up to 20 bags on one page. The layering creates the marbled effect. Let me know if you try it. :0)
@acraftersstory Yes, trying it now. I am laying them both from the tea pot & my husband's cup (as I sometimes drink instant coffee). Quite impressed with the cup one so far as it isn’t spent - like the teapot ones are. 😊😊😊💖💖💖
@@hazycrazyartz Oh yay! I just put some berry and green tea bags on paper and the stain is green. I think it's the combo but maybe just the green tea. I love experimenting. :0)
Good morning Celeste. The pattern the tea bags leave are great! Simple and beautiful ❤ The layering look is amazing! ❤ Love Love this! ❤ I hope you have a wonderful day! ❤ Gina
Thank you for watching, Gina. 😊 The berry teas make this great pinkish stain. They are pretty too. I hope you have a great day too.
💜🎶 Good morning Celeste .. Similar thing happened with a tray i had outside .. leaf prints ll Great makes from your tea paper .. Beautiful card 💜🎶🇨🇦
Oh how wonderful. I can only imagine how pretty the leave prints would be. Thank you for watching. :0)
💜🎶Good morning Celeste.. Cool .. thanks for sharing how to make the paper beads .. funny thing there are NO plastic straws anymore .. anywhere in Canada ! They're are gone to paper straws. but I'm sure paper straws can to used for this craft !! 👍🏻 Your beads are beautiful.. Well done !! 💜🎶🇨🇦
Thank you Caroline. I'm pretty sure that paper straws will work well. I had a similar comment from Hazy in the UK. They don't have plastic straws anymore either. I'll have to try with paper straws. Thank you for watching. :0)
We don't get plastic straws any more in the UK. They are banned because of wildlife. Just watching you I think paper straws might be ok as the process seems quite gentle. I find the tools too thin in the middle, too. I usually just use Mod podge for the glaze, but it's sticky even after it's dried. Not tried baby powder to prevent sticking, but that's supposed to work. 😊😊😊❤❤❤
I'm pretty sure the paper straws will work just fine. :0) The mod podge stickiness is the problem I ran into aswell. I haven't heard about the baby powder remedy. I wonder if it will dull the shine though. I wonder if embossing powder is an option? :0) Thank you for watching.
Good morning Celeste, you have great ideas. You make beautiful items out of something simple! ❤ absolutely lovely! Thank you for sharing! 😊 Have a wonderful day! Gina
Thank you Gina. It's always so rewarding when an idea works out. I have far too many beads but I can't stop making them. LOL Thank you for watching. :0)
@@acraftersstory LOL They are beautiful and I have no doubt you will make something extraordinary with them! 🤩

These are soooo cute Celeste, I love them. You're so talented! ❤ have a great day!! Gina
Thank you very much Gina. :0) It was nice to nice to just relax into a drawing session. :0)
Hi Celeste, I just think your creation is beautiful despite the slight errors. It is Perfectly Imperfect ❤ Gina
Thank you, Gina. I am always learning. 😊 Mistakes are sometimes fun to make.
Luv it, wonderful idea Celeste. I am into grid journalling right now, and these would look awesome as focus images on the backgrounds of my grids🌻🎶
That sounds really awesome. I can see how that would look really cute. I haven't tried grid journaling yet but now you have me thinking. :0)
These turned out to be absolutely gorgeous. Mine are about half the size of yours, lol.😂😂😂❤❤❤
Thank you Hazy. It was just nice to draw and color. I really should do it more often. :0) I can't wait to see your video. I know they will be gorgeous. :0)
I am doing these tomorrow, but with a TOTALLY different approach to Mari 😄😄😄💖💖💖
Oh, my goodness. We must all have mushrooms on the mind. Another friend of mine did a similar art project with mushroom houses. I'll look out for your video. :0)
You can use them for journal covers ❤
I had the same thought earlier today and covered a mini journal with the purple canvas. It worked out great. Thank you for the suggestion, Sherry. :0)
Hi Celeste. Wow these are beautiful ❤ you are so creative! Love this!
Thank you very much! They are so much fun to make. :0) I still have them. They last forever and you can drop a bit of essential oil on them to make them smell nice. I like lavender or geranium essential oil. Geranium is like the cheaper option of rose oil. Rose oil is jolly expensive, so I use geranium as a cheat. :0)
@@acraftersstory I started saving tea bags and they dried scunched up so I couldn't straighted them out. Lesson learned. But I am starting all over again and drinking more tea than coffee.

Thank you so much Gina. You should absolutely try it. I made (glued) more teabags today for a bigger project. My brain is never on pause. LOL Thank you for watching. :0)

Yay!! :0) They are so fun to work with. About a year ago when I first started my channel, I did a video where I made rose buds with teabags. Here's the link ua-cam.com/video/u-3PNuKCis4/v-deo.html :0)
Great idea with the glue. Love your project 💕
Thanks so much for watching! 😊 It's always fun to experiment.
Very cute ❤
Thank you very much Sherry. 😊
These are darling! Great design.
Thank you so much Susan. I'm glad you liked it. :0)
Lol, yay you got the upside down glue. I knew you would like it. It made me laugh near the beginning where you demonstrated the folder opening with just your hands. Loving your artwork tags, too 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Thanks so much Hazy. 😁 Sometimes my brain and my hands don't connect. LOL. I love the glue. It's so much easier to work with. Thank you for the recommendation. :0)
@acraftersstory Is that artwork on video? I will look for it if so - if you know what it's called or the approx date or even better - a link. Thanks 😊😊😊💖💖💖
It's not on video unfortunately. I painted the pink flowers the day before but the green and gold is from years ago. Which one caught your eye - the pink one or the green and gold?
Couldn't you make your aperture smaller for the pieces that won't fit the inner aperture you made?
Hi, I'm sure you're right and I could make them smaller. I'll rewatch the video to see what you are referring to. Thank you for watching. :0)
Oh I see now what you mean. Yes, that's a great idea Deborah. Thank you. That way I can still make another card with a smaller aperture that fits the extra artwork. I wasn't sure what you meant right away but I see now. I tend to get so focused on one idea with a specific sizing that I don't always consider alternatives. Thank you for pointing that out. 😊❤❤😊
Good morning Celeste, this is another amazing journal. ❤ How fun with the patched material! Your tucks are so beautiful! 😊 Absolutely lovely!! The person who buys this will be HAPPY! Have a fantastic day! Gina

Another great idea! I just found your channel today, and have been going thru your playlists.
Welcome Robin and thank you for watching. :0)
I love this idea and have to try it!
It's so much fun. It's the only way I can do anything with symmetry. You also don't know what the pattern will look like until you open the paper. That's the fun part. :0)
I do this, also-takes me forever to recycle my junk mail 🤣. I also like the bar codes and QR codes from the ads, some of them are in fun shapes. Since I didn’t have any magazines when I started collaging, it was junk mail to the rescue, lol. Words, letters, florals, anything with an interesting pattern, I saved them all. It’s fun to have some of the duller newsprint images as an alternative to the shiny images in magazines and catalogs-sometimes I want the more muted colors. Nice finds, great ideas for using them-I love the watermelon rose petals, I hadn’t thought of that before. Hope you show some of these in projects, thanks for sharing; take care! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Kristin. I really should do another collage video. So far, I've only used some of the words on a few journal pages. I'm happy to meet a fellow collage fodder junk mail collector. LOL. :0)
I love the happy accident of printing on both sides! I’ve used plastic bags that are bigger, like marshmallow bags when empty and I’ve also used a silicone mat….clean off remaining dried paint with spritzed rubbing alcohol and put paper to pull that….it does look different than just paint.
Oh, I love that idea. Thank you for sharing it. I try to use up all my paint in some way to avoid throwing any out. I'll give this a try. :0)
love these
Thank you very much :0)
Love your pocket corners and seeing how you used them in your journal. Thank you for showing the process too! I can't believe it's just two folds - genius!

Aw thanks for the mention. I have added some marbling papers to my Ko-Fi. (Purple ones most recently). I may have more further back. 😊😊😊💖💖💖
Thank you for watching Hazy and you're welcome. :0)
