I'm backtracking to your past videos as I have started from the beginning again. 2020 has been a lost year in my life. Your process with this Altered Book Video has valuable ideas and food for thought in many respects for me. Thank you. I'm inspired again to try altering an old R.D. book.
I'm so happy to have found that calendar stamp set! (On Amazon!) I love how the decorating of your journal follows along with the seasons. I sort of do that, too. Different months feel like different colors to me. I feel about November and winter like you do! I wish we could be neighbors and inspire each other! Hugs!
Beautiful pages as always! It is in my planes to tray an altered book. When I glue vellum I use transparent double sided tape, for me it's so much easier! Thank you for one more inspiring video!❤
What a great idea! Instead of buying a bullet journal, just use an old book and alter it. This is so great. I am happy I found your channel. You have great ideas and a nice taste.
Oooh owls🦉 I love the owls, so very beautiful and I love hanging out with you 💖😊😘 I think I need to do a washi book I can never remember what I have 🤔😂 💖💖
I'm enjoying your creative process! Yes, you are 'inspiring' me to try an altered book....excellent quote for November. I bought a few books from the Dollar Tree today and hope to start tearing pages tomorrow. :)
Barbara I agree on winter months. Especially Jan and Feb after the lights of Christmas are gone. Short days and gloomy days and no greenand flowers in the yard. Your journal is so pretty. TFS! ❤️
Thank you so much Barbara, you are a total inspiration to us all. I really really love 💕 this journal 📔 and what you’ve put in it. No wonder it makes you happy 😊. Thank you to for the freebies that’s really really kind of you. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Thank you Barbara for your lovely video. I really find them so inspiring. You are a wonderfully talented artist and I love to watch you work. Blessings and hugs - Diana Fox, Cape Town, SouthAfrica
I appreciate so much how you plan ahead and have things ready to go and you concentrate on what you are doing. And you just sound so sweet, love listening to you. You are a good inspiration for this old lady!
Oh Barbara, I love this paper set. It's so pretty. I love love love the contrast of the golden brownish yellow with the cooler tones. It's so pretty. I will definitely buy it after I get paid next week! ❤❤❤
This is almost exactly what I’ve been wanting to do. I just couldn’t get a vision in my head of how I wanted it to look! Lol I’m so glad I came across this video! This is beautiful and awesome. 😍😍
Beautiful pages, as always, Barbara. Love that idea of the washi tape sample book - will have to start one. Also looking forward to your next YCS video - hope you get the boxes soon. Hugs! :)
I love the look in all three of your monthly spreads, Barbara. Before I found Junk journals, I tried to keep a bullet journal, but it was too plain (boring), and I don’t want cute pictures/ephemera in my journals. I was also overwhelmed with the amount of things to potentially track, so I gave up on bullet journaling, though I’m still a member of a couple of bullet journaling Facebook groups because I love the idea of tracking important things. You’ve done a great job of narrowing your focus in a very vintage, creative way, and I’m inspired once again to try to track a few things in an altered book. This combines the best of both worlds! Thanks! 😘😘
Inspiration is right, I plan to start one of these in January. I'm doing a monthly journal for myself now, takes time but I think I can handle a by the month bullet journal also. Thanks for all the fun, I do have Readers Digest books, there must be billions of the across the world!
This is very beautiful sweetie! Love to see how your journal changes, alongside with you 😍 you are a huge inspiration, so I think that quote is very good and accurate 😘 I have watched the video and then restarted it when I was working on my own pages for november, listening to you. Big hug from Maureen💗
Hello! ♥️ I am new here and I am in love with this altered book! It is exactly what I wanted to do and had no idea of! Thank you so much for the inspiration, for the tips! I will start mine immediately! ♥️
You always deliver wonderful inspiration Barbara, I’m actually going to use my journal for a thankful 30 in November, I’ll try to film some if not every day maybe weekly! xxx💕
Hi, I've only know about junk journals and journalling since May watching you I am going to try this. I have some books I can do this with. I can go from now to the end of the year and then start a new year. This year has been a very different and difficult year for many. I can use this for my grand children to know what was going on ,and how I got through it. Thanks for sharing. I'm on a budget, so I'm using some of what I have. Thanks for the freebies.
Hey Barbara, thanks for sharing your was tape book as well as your monthly planner. I took some of my bright wash tape that no longer fits my style and inked them with vintage photo ink ( or tea dyed ink depending on the design) and made them more vintage. I feel like I can use up those wash tape tools that I wouldn't otherwise use.
Wonderful as always and you have the best bullet journal! I have my fall journal prompt elements gathered and pages all planned but not all of them glued in. Time to get moving so I don't get too far behind!
Aaah November is my birthday month. So not blah for me 😆. But I do understand what you mean. Luckily in South Africa it is beautiful spring and the summer holidays is just around the corner for us.
WOWW..this is extremely lovely🤩🤩l was waiting for this video😊and l am also very inspired by you for an altered book☺,Can not wait to step ahead with you!😊🥰
I love how your November intro came out and the quote is wonderful! Thank you for sharing your washi book...that is a great idea! I love your videos and thank you for the freebies!
Love it - so great when another video in the Altered Book Bujo comes up. You teach me new things and you give great ideas. All your videos are brilliant! /Ditte
I love watching your videos, they are inspiring. I'm doing my own journal with the items I buy in your shop. The papers are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your nice ideas. 😘 From 🇵🇹
Hi Barbara. Really enjoying your videos, and gosh the dream team ! I love Tina and Joie's channels as well ! Keep up the beautiful job. Wishing you the very best, Lucie from Le Jura, FR.
Beautiful spread Sweetie 😍 and also the new kit 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I don't need the freebie but you are kind and generous 💝 (When you missed a little bit of yellow on the right side I have thought of your linen distress ink and your soft blending brush... 😎) Hugs 🥰🥰🥰
You are a neat and clean and organized crafter. I like watching your videos but I most say that I really enjoy also to watch Pam from The paper outpost she ist just the opposite of you her style is what she is always saying she creates with reckless abandon she just goes with the flow, unorganized and messy. I must say that because of her I create without searching the perfection and I embrace the imperfections and I have so much more fun. Love the video and the speads are just gorgeous.
An idea if you run out of pages is to create some flip out pages. The “grateful” and “to do list” can be placed on the front and back side of a flip out for the week.
I was thinking the same thing. You know the weather is going to interfere with being able to go outside...be kind to yourself. I also did want to thank you for sharing your creativity and "totally on purpose" happy accidents.
Funny question possibly.... is there a rhyme or reason for tearing out five pages? Can it be less or more, or have you alll decided that five is the best amount to tear out? Thanks for this video!! It’s wonderful!!!
Thanks Jamee. Actually a perfect amount for this kind of book is 7 to still lay flat at the end, but I’m running out of pages, so I’m doing less at the end 😊
Hi Barbara, I just had a BRIGHT IDEA💡💡💡🤣🤣🤣 with your WASHI TAPE BOOK.... If you don't have them any more why don't you use the papers as a COLLAGE PAGE or a SNIPPET ROLL or something like that... Luve all your Videos Hugs🤗🤗🤗 and Kisses🥰🥰🥰 from Aussie Land
Thanks Rhonda! 😃 Fun idea, but my style has changed so I would not use of the older washis in my book plus I would like to keep them to look back on 😊.
Thanks a lot for the gorg freebies (eventhough i'm not into bullet journaling myself)! B-U-T this journal cover is one of my favorites! So femmenine, so chic! Needless to say that the method of altering an old book is also one of my favorite mathods, since most binding technics are too hard for me (physically). Oh, I was watching the other day a video about coffee dying tips & technics and I immediately thought of you and your grungy journals/kits. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/HX7bsiglvrU/v-deo.html I don't know this youtuber/channel, but I liked her quirky tips 😁 Hope you enjoy watching!
