Thanks again for sharing!
Oh, I recently picked up The Frampton Flora book at a second hand bookstore thinking it would be great for trying my hand at drawing some of these images. I have also noticed some of the images from this book in your work but thought I must be mistaken….. nope, I wasn’t! Thanks for sharing everything. Love from across the ditch. wA
@suzetteorchard1136 oh good spotting! Yes! Brilliant to draw from! Happy arting 🥰
Wow wow wow. This is stunning 😍
Thank you so much! 😊
I don't own any (yet), but it is a goal to collect some one day. Simply to own and oggle as art~
@AkiraOboro yes! Same here, the ones I buy, or am lifted will only ever be admired 🥰
When you design a journal how did you conceptualize it? Do you go in knowing thr plan or do you just feel it out?
@AkiraOboro what a great question! Hmmm, when I started, I chose a colour and a loose botanical theme. It helped me collect bits and pieces by colour first. Then, I start making a few highly embellished time intensive folders, tags, atc'c, envelopes, hidden paper clips etc, then I find my neutral bits and pieces, coffee/tea stained paper, music paper, then she comes together. I always have a character in mind, of who the journal belonged to, what type of person they were, an avid Gardner etc, and everything I put into the journal then relates to my thoughts on the character. Like this one, if it didn't suit Arabella and her secrets, it wouldn't go in the journal. For example, I have a lot of vintage habidashery bits, but I decided Arabella is not a sewer/seamstress. I hope this helps, sorry for the essay! 🥰
Gorgeous books, I love op shops where you can browse for books like these.
@debbiebreen6276 yes! Unfortunately my fav one is temporarily closed 😭 fingers crossed it opens again soon!
It is beautiful, ty for sharing!
Thank you 🥰
stunning!!!
Thank you!!
This is the most amazing journal i have ever seen Absolute work of art
Aaw thank you, that is high praise indeed 🥰
Absolutely stunning journal! I love all of the tiny secrets! I give you so much credit for being able to part with it; I don't know that I could have!
Arabella called to someone, and that makes me happy, I'm sure they will get even more enjoyment from her than I would being my own creation, so I felt good about her forever home 🥰
like the closure very much also the one on secrets journal beautiful journals
Aaw thank you 😊🥰
Thank you for this helpful video. Any of the Readers digest books on gardening or birds are wonderful for junk journals.
I'm so glad it was helpful! 🥰
love the booksyou use! I was hoping to see the tiny bird book you use 🤣 that one looks really interesting. Love your furry throw 🥰
Hmmm whish one is that? Can you remember the journal it was in? If I can figure it out I'll let you know 🥰
@@sara-leearmstrong5009 I'll have a look later, it's a very old mini book ❤️
Stunning books
I enjoy videos like this. Thank you.
@@CindyLu33 I'm so glad, thank you 🥰
Thank you for sharing! Love these!❤
So glad it was helpful 🥰
This is such a beauty!
Aaw thank you 🥰
What a gorgeous journal. I love all the original vintage pieces throughout the journal. I love the old and tattered look with the Victorian edge to it. Well done!! 😊
Thank you so much! 🥰
I also like Edith Holden The Nature Notes of an Edwardian Lady. Amazing book with beautiful images that she drew snd also wrote about. Her writing is also beautiful and the texture of the paper is matte and looks aged. My personal all time favourite
Yes, that's a classic, I have her too! I didn't show that though as I figured you guys would already know about that one 😉🥰
Rachelle, this journal is absolutely amazingly beautiful! If I bought this journal I woud not write in it, I would just love to hold it and look through it. Thanks Sara for showing it to us ❤
Thank you, that was helpful!
Oh great! 🥰
Beautiful Books xx
This is one extremely amazing journals for sure!
I have a hard time cutting out the flowers when there's one on each side that I like. I've never had an issue with anyone cutting up books to use in art project. Well, I've never seen anyone chop up a Tyndale 1st edition so they could use some of the pretty paper. :D That would give me definite pause. But flower books are fair game!
😆 exactly how I feel!
Beautiful books, Sara!! You definitely did not waste my time. ☺🤗
I'm so glad! Thank you 🥰
Lovely books - thank you for sharing. I've been lucky enough to source some Edith Holden books at thrift shops - so special.
Yes they are! I have one of hers too, but I figured that's one people are familiar with so didn't show it, stunning images in her books 🥰
She's beautiful!! 😍🥰💕
Thank you 🥰
Thanks heaps!
@shawnas464 glad it was helpful 💛💛💛
@@sara-leearmstrong5009 I ordered 2 of them from Amazon this mornin 🤗
@shawnas464 oh that's so cool 🥰
@@sara-leearmstrong5009 yeah!
I recently rediscovered an antique book a friend gave me probably 20+ years ago. After I had already taken out some pages I decided to look it up, it’s selling for $300 😂 But it’s coming apart page by page for journals. 😉
@@MessyPaperCrafter I have absolutely no problem with this 🤣🩷
@@sara-leearmstrong5009 I knew you’d understand! 😉
Thank you for sharing these. Nature is just gorgeous, isn't she? I've just ordered two of these - the second-hand book stores should give you commission! 😄
🤣 @commission well done for finding them! You won't regret it! 🥰
Love this! Beautiful books! I found the frampton floral one so I got that. Excited. Thanks for sharing!
@@MichelleCollum-Escape2Create ooo you lucky thing that one is just fab! Have fun! 😊🩷
Thank you Sara! That's all the books you have? Oh my word I wish I could say that!!!!! At this point between vintage magazines and books I have a few hundred! I'm totally a sucker for them. However I am on a mission to do a 6 month no buy! Only the glue, etc. must haves. You must have quite the self control. That is very admirable!
@brandiperelli4090 oh lol, zero control here 🤣I only meant floral, readily available books, as for antiques, rare and music I have tons 😆😆😆
@@sara-leearmstrong5009 Good! I was thinking am I the only hoarder of vintage and antique mags and books that has lost control.🤣
That was spot on I'm going on the hunt for some of those delightful books thankyou so much for sharing them😊
@@RachelleDeeprose haha Rachelle, I know you already have a goldmine!
@@sara-leearmstrong5009 🤣
Thanks for sharing…and that fur blanket looks so comfy!❤❤❤
@@laneyno8 haha I'm in my happy place 😊💛
Beautiful books ❤
Love all these books with florals❤❤😊
@virginiamartin-authorspeaker they are definitely my go too's! 🩷😊
Im trying to watch the video but its hard to focus on the books when they are under fur when its a 100 degrees where i live.
Haha i bet! It's very cold here in NZ we are still very much 10 degrees c or below!
Please keep on showing and making the tutorials. Wonderful to watch you work. I believe the first time I ever saw you Sara it was Christmas and you had made the wonderful umbrella for your son. It brought tears to my eyes. He seemed so appreciative of your effort and you can tell he is not a spoiled boy. Great young man. Hugs from Chicago.
@fredabutler8991 aaw wow, he's 20 now, and he's still my greatest accomplishment in life, such a good kind heart. Thank you for your beautiful comment 🥰
I prefer the quiet time just watching you create. Your work is amazing.
Thanks so much 😊
Thoroughly enjoyed this journal. I don’t usually use a lot of lace so this really appealed to me ! Well done can’t wait for the secrets journal. Intrigued,😂😂hugs 🇨🇦
Thanks so much! 😊🩷
Hi Sara, what an amazing journal. Such an inspiring work of art. I have found many inspiring ideas to incorporate. Thank you for that and for sharing your talent with us. Loved and anticipated each turn of the page. What a treasure. 💖✨ xoxo ~Jenifer
Aaw thanks Jenifer 🩷😊 so pleased I could offer you some ideas
Wow!! Super gorgeous!!😍
Aaw thank you 🥰🥰🥰
I adore all the hidden things
@AkiraOboro me too! It takes me back to memories of my Mum and Grandma who used to do little things for me as a surprise 🥰
What a fabulous tutorial. These are so cute! And let me just say, I love how real you are. I personally prefer the tutorials that are uncut. The ones that show the whole process, be it rummaging to find the right piece or making mistakes, because that's how we all craft. It's real, and I like that. Please continue to make them! ❤
@traci4440 haha funny you should say that, I have just made a come craft with me for my upcoming design team project and I am doing exactly that, printing twice on the same piece of paper, stuffing up the laminating, and rummaging through a box of bits lol! Thank you for appreciating me, the uncut version 🥰
@@sara-leearmstrong5009 Omgoodness, that sounds all too familiar! 😆
Wow. This is lovely. Your personal drawings add so much to it. Well done...❤
@andreamurphy7223 aaw thank you, I love having something I can add my artwork to❤️ that's why I love jj'ing, i can create whatever I'm in the mood for arting lol
