This is amazing. I love the realistic look of the notebooks. I am a sucker for anything that looks antique and ancient. It makes me want to make one for Supernatural [like a hunters journal] - From the t.v show -
I was thinking about supernatural as well!:) I want to make one like John Winchesters, It would be so good with Cosplay😋 I'd also love to write a fake hunter journal and out fake blood on some of the pages then drop it on the ground somewhere for somebody to pick up and wonder:)
Pyjamasandjam x There actually is a group I belong to on Facebook called abandoned art. People make their art and will leave it somewhere for someone else to fine. If a journal like this was found, that would be a treasure indeed!
Very cool take on this free download. I downloaded it months ago but have not done any books yet. You just may have inspired me!!!! I love how you made yourself a blank journal to write in. The binder is a great idea also! Great job!
Absolutely fantastic - I love how it looks so genuinely old - Brilliant. Love all your vids - I've had a real Michelle fest this weekend. I'm going to have a go at this one for my daughter. Tracy x
Hi from Canada! I really like your vampire hunter's journal, and have made one of my own. I didn't use the printouts that you showed us on your video, but came up with some ideas of my own. You really inspired me to try making a vampire hunter's journal! Thanks for sharing! ~Janet in Canada
This is sooo neat! You did a great job aging it! I absolutely love the color you ended up with. I dont have any of the Tim Holtz stains yet just lots of destress inks. But I have been so wanting to try them.a this makes me want to run right out and buy some! TFS! Chauchetta Green
Don't mind your "vintage hands" at all! So much easier to watch than a demonstrator who is so aware of her fake french nails that she spends too much time waving her hands around.
I would of had a blast growing up with you as a mom. Me and my bro always played Vampire hunter & this would have been so awesome to have. My mom was pretty creative though as in making us knight sheilds out of decorated paper plates, fancy swords out of those wooden paint sticks paintes silver with leather cord handles which we loved to make. I love this vampire hunter kit though. Great job!
Thanks for sharing what you did and the link!! I love when stuff is free! :0) I can't wait to use this in a mini I am working on! You did a great job making it look ancient!! Happy scrapping!
The Kraft card is from the French Art Shop.I have enquired for other overseas friends and unfortunately it is only available locally. Hope the manilla folder mini goes well - have fun xx Michelle
Michelle, very chic and authentic. I read through all the comments trying to learn which 3 distress stain colors you used. Would you be so kind as to let us know. Thank you for your time. Your response is appreciated.
Hi Michelle, I'm loving your work & this vampire journal is awesome.you so inspire me to get my fingers messy, Thanks also for the heads up on the link to the vampire downloads have downloaded them & I'm so itching to have a go. Mind you it did throw me a bit when I read one of the pages & saw Edwina Lionheart, as my name is Edwina & my maiden name was West which is on one of the tombstones creeeepy.....My hubby says I am cheek.... Thanks again for sharing the video's. Take care Edwina.......
Sorry for the double post..just went to the free site you had the link of for the vampire journal..just awesome and thank you for the freebie :) Do you have a tutorial on how you made the folio album itself? and what size did you do yours in? I've just got to make one of these..LOL..I usually don't do any Halloween things..but this is a must have..thanks!
LOVE your vids I am hooked!! working on a manilla folder mini at the moment! so thanks for sharing :) Where do you get the kraft card? I am in Australia.. so hoping I might be able to find something simular :) Thanks you again
I cannot wait to make them both. Not that I know any vampires personally but you never know... And you sold me on the distress inks. Did you add the color or did the pages print that way? Big hugs and keep on crafting my very talented friend!
+Yazan Qweider you make tea (dont put sugar!) pour it all into a tray, dunk the paper in and tae out the paper,let it dry ,volia! or you can put the tea in a spray bottle and spray over the paper(this is faster)
+wolf gaming but it doesnt give a look like this it just change the paper color i dont want one color paper i want to get paper with dark spots with stains like the ones in the video
Hi Amanda. Sorry I cannot send you the file as it is not mine to give. It is a large file and I know it takes a good few minutes to download on my computer. The link is still at the same website and is available. If you still cannot get it to work there is an email contact for the website which is How to Haunt your House. I hope that you are able to get it to work xx Michelle
This is a bit tricky to find if you aren't looking for the keywords. Once you go to the link, click on Resources (Downloads) and scroll down to Vampire Sketchbook Pages, Journals and Maps. Thanks for the find!!
Hi Sorry I haven't done a tutorial, pm me if you have any questions. I don't make halloween projects either as it is not very big here in NZ but this is a lot of fun. Thanks for commenting xx Michelle
That is strange. I do not manage the site so maybe contact them. I just clicked the link and went through to the download page which now includes a construction video, so in theory it should work. Good Luck xx Michelle
I am hooked......I love this lady she has change my life. now I'm a vintage book maker.
Beautiful 'vintage hands', lovely voice and an awesome book. 😍
This is so very cool, but I can imagine it being found many years from now and people would think it was a real journal. :O
+Sintel Snow HAhaha That's funny and very possible!
love your vampire journal, how you managed to get it lookiig like its been buried for years is amazing, great talent . jayne england
I loved the way you keep track and noted on the cards what you found! Very scientific. Well done!
Thank you for sharing your tea dying trial info. Your folio is gorgeous. Your work is so inspiring. TFS! Hugs, Kristina

+Taralefish HAHAHHAHA! Right!
lol. I think the same thing .hahahha
I hate the nails in DIY, they are so distracting.
I dont know how people can craft properly or comfortably with long nails.
You are soooo right!! I can't take it when they wiggle their fingers like that!!!

CAN YOU PLEASE DO A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO MAKE THE VAMPIRE HUNTERS JOURNAL
I cannot wait to make them both. Not that I know any vampires personally but you never know... And you sold me on the distress inks. Did you add the color or did the pages print that way? Big hugs and keep on crafting my very talented friend!
Awesome! Very good job
No - this was printed on white paper and then aged and distressed with lots of TH distress inks. thanks for watching xx Michelle
Gorgeous!
beautifully done.
This is really cool, might have to make one for mysef
Can I use this exact thing for my to-come web series?
Really good job,just asking did you sew the pockets in the front & back or just glue them? TFS
Do you remember what colors in Distressed Ink you used to get that grunge look, please?
Great job!!!!
i am 13 and i love art and vampires so this is perfect for me
Beautiful!
How do you distress/age the pages after glueing them together? I'm afraid if I glue the pages first and then age them they will come apart.
this is amazing!! so nice !!
So cool! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Alyson. Hope you get messy and make one too! xx Michelle
oohhhhh soooooooo MEEEGAAAAA WOWWWWW!!! love love love it!
I love this journal! I love Halloween and Vampires and this is amazing! :) Are you selling it?
There is nothing wrong with your hands sweetheart! I think they're beutiful!
Just found you & love your stuff. Are there any craft shops in NZ that you give a shout out to need different stuff to whats here in OZ. Ta🤗
Faith Pocock Craft Studio and Three Button Studio are two I love here in New Zealand
Thanks - have fun with the mini xx Michelle
how to get tea stained paper like in 6:25 ? ,cause your tea stained tutorial just shows paper with different color .
+Yazan Qweider you make tea (dont put sugar!) pour it all into a tray, dunk the paper in and tae out the paper,let it dry ,volia! or you can put the tea in a spray bottle and spray over the paper(this is faster)
+wolf gaming but it doesnt give a look like this it just change the paper color i dont want one color paper i want to get paper with dark spots with stains like the ones in the video
Yazan Qweider take the tea bag (make sure there is still a bit of water)and put it on the spots you want to be darker
+wolf gaming thanks :) i will try it
Yazan Qweider no prob mate
did you print it on brown paper?
do you have to pay for the journal ?
Love all your work! Just a note though, the link you posted for the free download my computer identified as malware.
