    What breed ofdog is Bumble. I love her! Thanks for all the tips on boxes. I also love your doodling videos. Sometimes I want to be free of stickers and do my own thing. You've been the best teacher for me in this. Thank you.

    It seems simple to you because of your innate creativity! I don't know about others but it really helps me grasp the possibilities when I see them rather than just be told them. For example, putting washi or quote stickers inside boxes. Those were big lightbulb moments for me even though I already knew in my head you could layer them. Thank you so much! Hugs to you and Ms Bumble.

    We are all just trying to be creative and change it up for our own personal preferences. But these types of videos are lovely! Some days I get stuck! Creators block or something haha... then I can come to things like this and get that AHA! and move forward. Thank you!

    Very useful, I love seeing examples from your old spreads. I'd love to see a "Sticker surgery" episode from you. Like full of examples and ideas. You are so creative how you manipulate the stickers to do what you want. Tfs.

    This was a very helpful video for "out of the box" ideas (pun intended). When you were showing your previous spreads I thought that it would be nice for you to do a design review. By that I mean, taking a spread apart design wise, how you liked it, would do differently, any firsts or eureka moments, etc Another idea would be to compare previous spreads that are similar in layout but look very different. I am a designer so I love process and critique videos. i love your channel!

    The stickers I find hardest to use are circles, hexagons and the circular floral wreaths they have had in several books. Any ideas on those would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I think they did get the idea of the scalloped boxes from you - I know I did!

    Gidday from Adelaide Australia!!! I love your videos and they are very informative and FANTASTIC for ideas on how to do spreads etc. I have watched many videos on You Tube about spreads in Happy Planners, and they've become a bit stale, but yours are so much better, so keep doing what you are doing lol. I don't have the imagination for spreads, so watching your videos encourages me to try different things. I would like to see you do a spread that it way out of your comfort zone! lol. You are a perfectionist like me and thousands of others, so this is why I would like to see it, challenge yourself!! Sending you a big hug xx

    Mary Ellen:
    I’m going to go along with @Julie Smith’s comment... I use boxes a lot but I have more trouble using circles, hexagons, wreaths, circular flowers, etc. I know I’d appreciate a video on how to make these shapes functional and decorative in a spread!! 👋🏽
