Thank you! 😊 I love listening to the birds, and when I hear an especially gorgeous concert going on, I grab my phone and start recording! I was glad to be able to share some of their lovely songs. 😊
Cat, I really really love 💕 your nature page. I can see you making a really beautiful nature journal 📓. And it would really really be awesome if this little snack bag page is anything to go by. Thank you so much Cat, you really really do inspire us all, with everything you make. xxx Mags
Thank you Cat! Your videos always are so inspiring. I want to dedicate a whole journal to nature too hopefully this year. Nature has always replenished my soul, now more than ever!
Thanks so much! Yeah, I’m chomping at the bit to play in my nature book - too many irons in the fire... Hopefully, I can start it soon. I hope you enjoy creating yours, too! 😊😊😊
Thank you, Bunny! 😊 I love listening to the birds, and when I hear an especially gorgeous concert going on, I grab my phone and start recording! I was glad to be able to share some of their lovely sounds. 😊
Love how your pages turned out, Cat, & what a sweet touch to insert the audio with the chirping & wind chimes (sounded like it came from when you worked on your watercolor outside a few weeks ago(?). And also the clip of the baby birds in their nest....looks like they are just about ready to leave home & venture into the world! Very enjoyable video! Thanks so much for making time to film/upload/etc., esp. since I know your grandchildren are out for the summer & you are really busy with them this time of year!! Hugs from NW FL💜
Thanks, Debi! Actually, no, each of those bird-singing clips were recorded at times other than when I was watercoloring outside. I’m so blessed to get to hear them often, and when I do, I try to record some of their beautiful concerts. Thank you for your kind words - it IS a busy time of year, but I’ll get as many videas out as I can, because I love it so much! 😊😊😊
I enjoyed watching you create on your paper bag. I love vintage and really liked how you found and laid out your elements. I especially enjoyed the background sounds of the birds singing and the chimes whistling. Perfect for your project. Thank you for the great video and step-by-step.
Those baby birds at the beginning and end are so adorable, plus the nature sound effects during your tutorial were great. I love what you did with those pages. Your dried flowers were a perfect fit for the true nature look. Thanks for sharing!
Such a thought-out beautiful piece of artwork. Every detail you added enhanced the piece so much, I like the bit of vintage feel too. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Thank you, Mari! 😊 I love listening to the birds, and when I hear an especially gorgeous concert going on, I grab my phone and start recording! I was glad to be able to share some of their lovely sounds. 😊
Thanks bunches, Maria! Yes, I can’t wait to get started on my nature journal. I want to do SO many things, I wonder sometimes if I’ll ever get to them all. But, hey, at least it’s fun trying! 😊😊😊
Beautiful Cat! Love the birds at the beginning and end of the video! The dried flowers is a great way to incorporate nature and I really liked how you did the torn text bit on the flap! Going to have to try that! Thank you for sharing. 🌹Rosie of Oz 🇦🇺
So very fun and cute!!! Loved it, as I do everything you do!!! Thank you for your videos so very much...oh, and a special thanks for the gorgeous bird songs...nothing I love better than to listen to the birds sing!!! :-)
glued all my flaps down earlier tonight....darn I love the fold over. I had the journal out because I was wondering what June’s theme would.....love the nature theme. I’ll start mine tomorrow. Thank you Cat.
Bummer! Maybe you could peel one up, possibly using a craft knife. Even it it tears some, you can cover it with painted paper or scrapbook paper, etc.... My pleasure, Kathleen. I hope you enjoy creating your nature page. 😊
Are those birds at your house? What kind are they? That was so neat to start and end your nature video. I just finished mine. It is my favorite page so far. A Nature Journal would be a wonderful adventure. I have a ton of things I could use. Thank you so much for sharing and keeping me motivated. Hugs, Linda
Hi Linda - The video clips of the birds were recorded at my house when I lived in IL for a few years. The birds in the first clip are robins and the clip at the end starred some barn swallows. It was so much fun to watch them grow and then leave the nest. I’m glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully I can get to my nature journal before too much longer - we’ll see... Hugs to you, too! 😊
Enjoying this project and thinking of trying it. How have the dried flowers held up? I would have wanted to gone them a coat of some kind of mod podge or other medium to protect them.
Where in the world did you get the awesome little bottle of tacky glue? Love you style.❤️ I’m certainly going to become a subscriber of yours. Thanks for sharing.❤️
Hi Loretta, and welcome to my channel - I’m very happy to have you here! I believe I got that little bottle of Tacky Glue at JoAnn’s. Thanks so much for watching, commenting, and subscribing! 😊😊😊
Thanks, Diana! No, those were the natural colors of the milkweed. They dried much darker than their actual bright colors. If I can remember, I will show a photo of it when I film next month’s video. 😊
Inspiring as well as a lovely page! So I have a question, with the dried flowers, do you have to put any medium over them, once they are glued on? My thought was after a while they might start to break apart, maybe? Anyway, TFS!❤️❤️
Thank you Cat, as always a great video. Could you please give us the order number of the Duro bags that you are using? I seem to have a smaller bag than the one you are using. Thanks!
Listening to the bird chirp while you play with this was WONDERFUL!
Thank you!
Thank you! 😊 I love listening to the birds, and when I hear an especially gorgeous concert going on, I grab my phone and start recording! I was glad to be able to share some of their lovely songs. 😊
@@CatHand I'm happy you did! Yesterday was kind of a rough day, so, the time I spent here, listening to the chorus, was just plain awesome! Thank you!
You never cease to inspire me. Thank you Cat.
Thanks, Janet. I’m happy that I can give you inspiration! 😊

Oh you have milkweed, how wonderful, do you have any Monarch butterflies?
I don’t have much of the milkweed, but I do occasionally see monarchs! 😃
Enjoying this project and thinking of trying it. How have the dried flowers held up? I would have wanted to gone them a coat of some kind of mod podge or other medium to protect them.
I actually did put a sealer on the dried flowers after I finished filming this video. 😊

Hi Cat - loved this video. I was wondering if those were the natural colors of the milkweed or did you paint it once it had dried?
Thanks, Diana! No, those were the natural colors of the milkweed. They dried much darker than their actual bright colors. If I can remember, I will show a photo of it when I film next month’s video. 😊

Thanks, Anne! 😊 Yes, I may spray a fixative on them or add a coat of Collage Pauge...
Thank you Cat, as always a great video. Could you please give us the order number of the Duro bags that you are using? I seem to have a smaller bag than the one you are using. Thanks!
Thank you! The bags I’m using are 2 lb. capacity, size is 8x2.5x4.
Thank you, Cat... I'll search for them! Please continue to inspire us with the wonderful videos that you do.
can you direct me to page 1-5 too? Thanks,
Here you go! 😊 ua-cam.com/play/PLzaNcrENNXOyLv8Z7QW0GReUsjnnxLRDL.html
