    You always explain things perfectly. I’ve been going to therapy with my son after his brain injury and they keep telling us “repeating things more than once helps you learn and remember easier”

    Thank you. You explain thoroughly and that is helpful. I liked it especially when you wrote the dimensions on each piece as it helps match the visual with the written dimensions in the description box. Thanks too for the laminator advice. Very helpful. I love the idea of putting my one sheet wonder type projects into a journal so this is right up my street. Thanks as always for finding the time to share with us ❤

    I love your work. I do have a question about this piece. Your base piece has 4.75 inch wings but you cut the inside side of the front and back cover pieces at 5 inches. Is there a reason for leaving that quarter inch gap. Note. I'm not talking about the shorter outside side. I fully understand that one

    • @CoriDahmen
      @CoriDahmen  4 місяці тому

      I cut the inner measurement to 5" so it rests in the seam of the spine base. I want that inner section to be flush with the fold. It just makes the journal smoother and it's easier to keep the cover straight. And, thank you 😊
