Thank you, Kathleen. This video is very informative and covers what seems to me, a very difficult topic to discuss. I would be stumbling for words and struggling to keep my thoughts organised. You did a fantastic job delivering this subject with the use of the examples. I will be rewatching and am so grateful that you have added these videos to a playlist. 😀💞
Thanks very much Keryn! I am so pleased that you think it is helpful and glad that it seemed clear. I appreciate you!
I've watched hundreds of journal-making videos over the last few years, and no one else I've seen explains things so clearly and thoroughly as you do, Kathleen. This is one of the best I've seen! Having examples to illustrate your lessons helps to coalesce nebulous thoughts when choosing pages and makes the process much easier. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. This one is a keeper!
Oh that’s so kind Elizabeth! Thank you very much. I’m so glad for your encouragement!
A natural teacher!
@@gemmalclarke Oh you are so kind Gemma! Thank you!
Thanks Kathleen ! This is exactly one of the reasons I enjoy your videos : you are certainly the only one who always explains the reasons behind your choosing which is the greatest guide one can be delighted to have when lost in the unlimited possibilities in junk journaling! Thank you, thank you!!

My pleasure Elisabeth - I’m glad this video is helpful! Thank you for your support!
Learned a lot about patterns with this video Kathleen. Always had trouble working with them.
I hope it will be a little easier now Gloria! Thanks for stopping by!
I am absolutely loving this series of videos and particularly this one. I have lots of paper pads with beautiful bold and large patterns, which is probably what attracted me to them, but just never knew how to incorporate them in a journal. You did an amazing job presenting and explaining this concept. Your videos have really helped me grow as a journal maker and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. You are truly a gifted teacher ❤ Thank you 😊
I’m so pleased to hear it Marie! Glad to help!
Wow! Great tips and perfectly illustrated 🌻
Thank you Michele! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This is helpful! Sometimes I am hesitant to put patterns together, and only use one pattern, next to neutral coffee dyed paper, but your combinations help me to see that I can make more bold choices.
Hooray for bold choices - yes! I hope you will try it. There is nothing wrong with feeling safe or going with what you already feel looks good, but sometimes it really is fun to take a bolder chance. Have fun!
Kathleen, you did a great job of teaching the theory of how to use patterns. As someone else said, I tend to go with what I feel is "right," but it's great to hear the reasons behind why it works. You are a wonderful teacher and I have learned so much from you. And what a pleasant surprise to know that you will be using the happy mail I sent to make an eclectic journal. I'm excited to see how it turns out. In your hands, I know it will be great.
Thank you Linda! I’m so glad you found the video clear and helpful! I’ve been sitting on your sweet happy mail for far too long. (It is turning out great! I haven’t managed the hankie yet, haha - but I have an idea.)
@@BeAgainBooks I can’t wait to see. I’m sure it will be fun.
Kathleen, you did a fantastic job explaining how patterns go together by weight, pattern size and color.
I have been scrapbooking, card making and most recently making junk journals.
I've always had to put so much thought and time into mixing and matching patterns. Now I realized I was pretty much doing what you just shared with us without really knowing or understanding the why.
It all makes sense now.😊
TFS ❤
You are so welcome Teresa! I’m glad to validate your eye!
Thank you,Kathleen for sharing all that information. I learned so much.
My pleasure Mindy! I’m so glad to hear this and it makes me happy! Thanks for watching.
I just love your teaching style!! I watched this video twice just to make sure I caught everything. Thank you so much Kathleen 😊❤
I’m so glad Darla! Thank you!
I love how easy you explain and show exactly how to put papers together!
I love using lots of patterns and colours as well.
Thank you Kathleen for for sharing your knowledge in a way that makes it easy to understand!
I'm just in the process of putting papers together for an Autumn journal....I will be revisiting this video often to help keep me on track!
I am so happy to be helpful Kerri - glad that this will be useful to you!
@@BeAgainBooks everything you do is useful to me! You're a true inspiration!
I love how you explain things… I get so overwhelmed with mixing colors and patterns. I would love if you would do another video where you mix different fabrics, for instance old world and vintage fabrics along with paper?
Thank you so much Sherry! I will think about how I could do that. It’s on the list at least - thanks for the suggestion.
You gave us great insight to using patterns of all kinds Kathleen! Very well explained, makes sense. What a lovely happy mail, can't wait to see you work with it! Hugs!🥰
Thank you Nancy! I appreciate that.
Great information, Kathleen! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure Loran! I’m so glad you came by!
Very helpful 😊
That Linda happy mail journal is going to be beautiful! Love those papers. All of them work so well together. ❤💙🦋
Thank you Lisa! I think so too - it’s coming along beautifully and I’m excited about how it’s looking.
Thank you for breaking it down, as much as I would like to think I knew that, it was very helpful to hear it explained 😊
I’m pleased to be helpful Karen! Thanks so much for watching.
Super fun to watch. You have a great selection of papers.
Thanks so much Dawn!
Interesting! For me, you have taken something that has always been just a feeling to me and put words to it. When I see the combinations you are presenting they either "feel" right or not. I find that my "feelings" often match up to your reasoning and I find it interesting that there is actually a reasoned methodology behind my "unreasoned emotional states". Don't know if I have the brain power to remember all this, but I sure do appreciate hearing about it. Thanks!
It is interesting! Some people really have a knack for patterns and other people just find it so difficult. Thanks so much for watching!
perfect! you make it so easy for us to understand. hugs
Thank you Bonnie! That makes me glad - thanks for coming by!
That was super helpful. I have trouble making things look good when I put them together but seeing patterns in this light I think will help me a lot! Maybe I can make more cohesive journals now.
Yay! I’m glad you think it will help you Brittany! Thanks for watching.
Well done Kathleen - it's not an easy subject to explain but you did it well! Now I have a way to explain what my eye sees naturally and why I do it! Super love this and will also make me a little more adventurous when using patterns! Thank you, from the Teacher's Pet, Gemma 😉🥰
Oh thanks Gemma - many people do seem to have a good eye or an instinct for patterns. I’m glad you’ll be a little more bold - patterns are so much fun!
Loved it. veery helpful. one that is a must save and rewatch video. great tips. thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. you are the best.
Thank you JuJu! I’m so glad you found it helpful - yay! Thanks for watching!
Hi Kathleen! This was such a great video, and you explained so much in here! I love how well you explained how to mix patterns and use them! I love mixing patterns but have never thought about the why things work well together. I usually go with what feels right. lol. Thank you for taking the time to share with us!
Thank you Lidia! Thanks for coming by and I’m glad it was helpful. You might be one who just has a knack for it, haha! Some people do!
@@BeAgainBooks Of course! I really enjoy your videos! I think I picked it up with scrapbooking, lol! I did struggle with mixing different patterns at first though. And I never heard anyone explain it the way you have done. I think we had to just play around and see what worked.
As a quilter, all these principals apply. One color I usually avoid in a quilt is yellow, even a small amount will try to take over 😊. One thing that helps is that each fabric line is usually designed with the work of design pattern and color done already. And the same with a scrapbook pad. Very interesting video ❤.
Oh yes, Evie! So true, as a quilter, you must know so much about mixing patterns! And you could also be right about yellow, haha! It is a strong color! Thank you for watching.
Fantastic advice Kathleen ❤
Oh I am so pleased you find it helpful - thank you Sioned!
Thank you for the insight into pattern theory, you explained it very well. I'll think a bit more when selecting patterns and papers.
Thanks so much Davina!
Love it! Nice explanations and examples.
Thank you Karen!
So nicely explained! I sometimes use an eclectic style. I have a good eye for pattern, but I loved the way you explained it! 😃❤️
Thank you Elaine! I appreciate your time!
Well put. I love how you explained this and gave examples as I'm aa visual person. Maybe this is why I choose to add extra colored scrapbook or died papers in my journal to help bring everything together. I also love patterns, but agree we need something to help marry it all together. Thank you for this video. I saved to to my watch list to come back to again later. ☺♥
Thanks so much for the feedback Joan! I appreciate you!
Very interesting and informative. THANK YOU.💛

Thank you!! 😊
This was interesting but at the same time hurt my brain. Too much information too quickly. It’s probably just me.
I’m sorry your brain hurts Kristi! Maybe just watch a bit at a time…
