    Finally, a video on preparing a book for art journaling that doesn't require an hour of my time. Precise and helpful--and lovely. Thank you.

    Love this video, I needed it to repurpose old books instead buying brand new journals. Thanks

    I haven’t begun doing this yet…but you have inspired me to give it a go…I love to “play” with it all..I am almost 80 and have just got into card making with dies, stencils, etc…enjoy it so much..thanks

    I've done this too. ❤ typically i would choose a book that already has artwork and keep those as part of the journal too. This project was fun to watch thanks for sharing

    Great tutorial. I just found some old books and didn't have a clue how to transform them into a journal. I want to share a fantastic glue I've found for thin papers, or any paper, really. - Elmers No-Wrinkle dual tip glue pen.The thin and wide tips work well for a variety of projects, and it's 'washable', so I can remove what sneaks out past the edges. Depending on the circumstance, I use a brayer, instead of a bone folder, to smooth out whatever I've glued. It's gentle enough for delicate paper. Thank you so much for your vlogs. I just found your channel and am binge watching 😳

    I am inspired! I really like your method of tearing out every other page and gluing the three together. I have a book just waiting to be altered ! I’m going to try your method.... thanks for sharing this.❤️

    I love making altered books. I'm on about my 5th one. For some reason it's so freeing compared to a blank journal.

    Such an inspiration to try making an art journal. After 8 months of being a journal maker, it’s time to venture into a new area. You are such a great teacher with a gentle voice and spirit. Blessings from Betty in Ohio.
