I'm in love with this cover. Alas, I've already done mine, but I'm sure I can incorporate it in the journal somewhere. I had to laugh, when the petal was being stubborn, I said 'settle petal' at the same time as you. Thank you for putting a picture of Abby on. I always watch right to the end just in case. Hugs and smiles from across the miles 🥰💕😊💐❤️🌺😊
Simply amazing!❤ This cover is so gorgeous!❤ I was having a little bit of a panic attack and having trouble calming down… I saw your video was up and knew if I just watched your video and listened to your calm voice I would calm down and relax. It worked like a dream!❤ Thank you for your talents in so many ways!❤ You are such a wonderful person. Abby is so lucky to have you as her human!❤ From your Chicken from across the pond, 🐣🐥Ruth Finley 🐣🐥
Angela, I am stunned at the beauty and complicated simplicity of this cover. The double oval opening is genius and yes, it most certainly does make me want to sneak into the garden to find all the amazing secrets that are just waiting to be discovered. This journal is absolutely magnificent! Sending hugs! 💖
Wow, thank you so much for that amazing compliment, Nancy! Delighted that you found this so enthralling. You are so kind to say so and you have made my day, lovely. Hugs xxx
I am always amazed by how you take little bits of things and come up with a beautiful cover. This is stunning. Thank you for taking us with you on this beautiful journey of creativity. Blessings for a restful afternoon.
Thank you ever so much for your encouraging words. I am just delighted to hear that you love the cover. I did enjoy a very restful afternoon. I do hope you did too. Hugs and smiles xx
Thanks Angela for a great idea. Also I appreciate the pictures of Abbi at the end of this video and also in the email I'd received about that template. I didn't see the template part in the email, it was a template from your videos a while back. But it's okay, I'll treasure little Abbi's face forever. Thanks again. Enjoy your tea and treats. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
Amazing how this does pull one into the center of the page and the entrance to the secret garden! Beautifully designed and very compelling! Certainly one of your best journal toppers yet!! On another note, did I hear correctly that you had a motorbike at age 16? Miss Angela, you do surprise me! I love it! My boyfriend (now husband) had one when I was 16 and we used to love riding through the mountains, although I never had the courage to drive it myself. Now some 40+ years later, we still enjoy mountain riding but from the comfort of our SUV. Good memories though! Thanks for the great idea for our SG journal cover and best, as always! 💐 Cyn
Thank you do much Cyndi! I am so happy you love this too. It was fun to make. Yes!! I did have a motorbike at 16. I also had a boyfriend at that time who had a motorbike. He was a year older and he had a bigger bike, so we did the same. It was fun times. My son had a bike from 16 until and I enjoyed a ride or two on his bikes as he upgraded them. It is a wonderful feeling riding a bike. Quite freeing really. Sending a big hug, lovely xxoo
Now just to finish making the pockets, and etc to put in to this. It's hopefully going to be one of the give aways at my daughter's baby shower. Fingers crossed, I can get it finished in the next week.
I am absolutely amazed at your beautiful work and your generosity in giving us such a clear understanding for your covers. This one is exceptional. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 💖🤗😘👳♀️
Wow, thank you so much dear friend. Just delighted you love how this one came together. I started off this project doing something quite different and ended up ditching that as it seems so boring! I thought I needed a challenge, so this was the result. Far better than my initial plan. Sending you a big hug and thank yous xxoo
That is such a lovely compliment, Pat! WOW, I am sure you are going to have such a lot of fun putting it all together. May it bring you a lot of joy and reward at the end. Sending you a big hug and smiles xxoo
What a lovely cover! Would never have thought to layer those pieces on like that but that does just tempt one to walk through that gate and look inside!
Oh Wow Angela!! Beautiful cover and yes, it's drawing me in!! I was to go secretly exploring and make wonderful new discoveries!! LOVE this!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)
That is amazing to hear Liz! So pleased you felt what I was feeling there. You did make me smile. Thank you so much for your wonderful support and message. Sending hugs xxx
You’re a genius Angela!! Beautiful!! Yes, the green vine is still available from Hobby Lobby too but if it’s in Angela’s shop, I like supporting that too!!
Bless you Donna. You are so kind and thoughtful. I have it in my Amazon shop. Thank you so much for watching and for your amazing support, lovely. xxoo
Lovely cover design! Don't know that I'm "brave" enough to tear an oval...may have to use a specialty shaped scissors. Beautiful lace. Your fabric is so sweet...beautiful on this cover. Well done! Loved the close up of the cover!! Thank you!
Thank you so much Martie! Why don't you try it first using a piece of copier paper before you try it on your printed paper. You are going to surprise yourself lovely. Hugs xxoo
I love this journal cover you made. It's so innovative. You mentioned you gave Abby a bath today. It'sa coincidence but I gave my medium sized dog a bath yesterday. My husbanc was the one who woke him up and nudged him along until I could trap him in the bathroom. He's old and grumpy and grumbled at me the whole time using his idea of human words. I could definitely could tell he wasn't happy at all. I tried drying him off but he was too impatient for much of a good dry. He got the door open and went into our bedroom, a place we never let dogs in due to both our allergies. I tried to lead him out but I took his collar off before the bath and I had nowhere to grab him. He showed his disgust about the whole thing by rubbing himself along the covers overhanging the top of the bed all over my husband's side of the bed, before I could usher him out of our room. He loves to jump in a lake or a slough but hates a nice warm bath.
Oh Sue! I feel for you. That is the way they communicate with us, isn't it. My Abbi makes her distaste know by sulking or doing her business in the house, just to annoy me. She did a number 1 on my sofa cushion! I was horrified. All because I missed her walk that day. She wanted to make it quite clear to me that she was not happy! I wasn't either! Sending hugs xxx
Just gorgeous Angela!!! I am sadly having to put most of my crafty stuff on hold for a short while.... as I hurt my back helping hubby out in the paddock. Apart from sitting at my craft desk watching UA-cam videos I am not doing an awful lot!!! I was also away with my daughter for a few days ..... so still have the last few projects to catch up on!!! This cover has turned out so pretty!!! Love it!!!
Oh nooooooo Chris! That is awful news. I am so sorry to hear that. May you make a speedy recovery. I know it must be very frustrating for you. You are always a very busy lady. Sending you a hug and smiles. Enjoy a little R&R time. Hugs and smiles xxoo
Well..... I am finally back to a point that I can sit and craft without too much discomfort!! I managed to finish off another project today. That has cleared the decks a little, so now I am finally making the cover for the Secret Garden journal. Just waiting on the glue to dry properly before I stick the fabric on. As it is late in the day..... I have decided to give the basic cover time for the glue to dry overnight. I will then get a start on it again in the morning. It's such a good feeling to be able to sit and craft for a lot longer. I am still watching what I do .... but compared to what it WAS like..... my back is heaps better!!!
That is such a lovely compliment Stacie! Thank you so much, Lovely. I got my flowers from various sources. Amazon for one and eBay for another. They are easy to find. Just search mulberry paper flowers. Hugs xx
Your journal is beautiful as usual. May I ask why you don't just measure the mouth of your signatures while stacked and use that measurement for your spine.
Thank you so much Gayle. So pleased you like it. I suppose there are different ways to work it out. Different strokes for different folks. Thank you for your suggestion. Hugs xx
I just love it when you call us “chickens!” It makes me smile every time! 🌸🙂💕
I'm so glad! Special little chickens. Hugs 🤗💗🌷🌸
I'm in love with this cover. Alas, I've already done mine, but I'm sure I can incorporate it in the journal somewhere.
