    Your boy's each have a treasure to remind them of their childhood and how much their very talented and creative Mum loved them- you did great, Johanna!

    This is why you are my favorite artist and why this is my favorite channel! Not a daunting thousand steps tutorial, but a clear, doable and very helpful one which leaves you with a gorgeous result in the end. Such an amazing keepsake for your boys, they will love it for sure..Thanks for sharing sweetheart❤❤❤

    They turned out so nice. I love that you are showing how you don't need a bunch of special materials to make a journal cover. Cereal boxes are perfect and so is cardstock. Excellent instructions as well.

    this is such an amazing example for giving the extra portion of appreciation to children (and how much time you invest for your children); to LIFE itself and its incredible value from the very beginning ... Your boys willl love their mom for this- FOR SURE -their whole lifetime ... and may they have a very long life! So beautiful.

    I am blown away, these are absoluately beautiful. Watching this you could really feel the love you have for your kids and making such a timeless treasure for them. I deeply want to make my son a journal. I have no more room in his baby book. I have no idea where to begin with journaling.

    • @JohannaClough
      @JohannaClough  6 років тому +1

      Heather maybe begin with a few current photos and some lists of things he likes + dislikes at the moment. You could ask him a series of questions and write out the answers (depending how old he is).. keep any drawings or artworks and glue them in. Starting is always the hardest but once you do the ideas will flow! X

    • @Insanity_awaits
      @Insanity_awaits 6 років тому

      Johanna Clough, I am always inspired and amazed by the beautiful creations you make. Thank you for your advice! I can't wait to get started. My son is almost 3 in a few months and this is such a perfect age to jot down the silly and loving things he says. Looking forward to your next project videos!

    I love the way these books look. You have inspired me to make a book about each of my grandchildren. Now is the time while they are still young enough to remember all the little things as they've grown and then continue to add going forward. I have only recently discovered your channel and have done a little binge watching. My husband may regret that you introduced me to AliExpress! Your children are going to have such treasures from you for the rest of their lives.

    These are awesome! I started making TNs for each of my grandchildren after I realized my house couldn’t hold a million 12x12 albums. At the end of their TNs, I write them each a note. Putting them together like you did is perfect. Thank you for sharing😊

  • @carried9130
    @carried9130 6 років тому +2

    Hi Johanna, I love these albums made up of the TN you have kept for your boys. Once again, you've wowed me with your creativity and technique. Thank you for walking us through all the steps, and explaining why you do what you do. Very inspiring, thanks for sharing!

  • @1888starz
    @1888starz 6 років тому +1

    Hi Johanna, the end result of your boy's treasured books was fantastic, especially the tied up strings at the end. Looks amazing & I'm sure your boys will just love receiving them. Your instructions are very clear & professional. I just love watching you create!

  • @melodine707
    @melodine707 5 років тому +1

    Would you consider doing a process video on sewing on paper; tension settings, needle type, ways to make the pages pretty. I liked the idea if stitching horizontal to give a secret writing spot and other ideas you had for pages, cards, envelopes.

    The kids are so fortunate to have a mom who documents their childhood. They will love it! Time well spent! You do a wonderful job. How do you print the pictures? I think in a video you said that you usually print them once a month. I had a little printer, I spent a lot on it but it never worked really well. Might just take my pictures to a store to print them off my phone. I’m a grandma and have to rely on copying photos from FB of my grands. I need to figure out how to copy them from Instagram because they post more pics on there. I’m sure there is a tutorial on UA-cam. Sorry, just thinking out loud. you’ve inspired me to journal... I need to figure out a few things first. Thank, Johanna! You are lovely and creative!!💕

    These are absolutely gorgeous. You never cease to amaze me in your creativity. I've got two kind of random questions. 1-Did you use a filter for the boys' photos? They are lovely. Also, do you know what size thread you use? I ordered some waxed thread the other day for some binding projects and it feels awfully thick.

    • @JohannaClough
