Hey, everybody! I am putting a link here to a detailed video where I make a journal with a spine like this. I hope this will be useful for anyone who wants to know how I make these spines. ua-cam.com/video/WMBZNiBriB0/v-deo.html

Hi Liana! Thank you so much for being here and for your kind comment! Sending autumn blessings from NC, USA 💕🍂🍄
Oh I loveeee that white rose card set so much! Gorgeous. I also totally forgot about buttons and might have to go back haha
The container of buttons really surprised me! So many of them had writing on them. They had a much cooler vibe than I expected. 🙂
Great job! Turned out beautifully. I love the Dollar Tree.
Thank you! I love the Dollar Tree also. LOL So much fun to see what they have each week. xxLynn
Hi Lynn! I love what you did with the items you chose. My Dollar Tree doesn't seem to carry some of the stuff that I see in videos from other cities/states, although I haven't been in to one in more than a year. It may be time for me to see if my store has improved their inventory. You chose the perfect book! And thanks for sharing Mary's idea for using the vanilla.
Hi Karen!! I am so happy to hear from you! Monday was consumed with getting my taxes done, and then yesterday my little grandson wasn’t feeling well so I picked up things for my daughter, and the day just flew away. I was planning to email you!! I have enjoyed going to a local dollar tree lately that is new, so seems like they keep things stocked up pretty well. But somebody was blocking the books yesterday and I wanted to tell her to get out of the way because I was in a junk journal challenge. 😂😂😂 xx ❤️
Also green with envy at what some dollar trees have; mine barely carries any crafting stuff, but I travelled to see family and the DT there was amazing. I wonder why there is so much range?!
@@jamiemueller1881 I don’t know, but they vary here from one side of the county to the other. xx
Stunning journal! I saw Jessicas video too...she and YOU are amazing! I had not heard of using that vanilla from DT to stain! Such a great thing! Thx for your show and tell. Awesome video! xoxo- Julie
Hi Julie! Thank you so much! I am glad to have you here. 😊 xxLynn
Awesome sauce. It’s great 😊❤️😊❤️
Thank you so much Mary!! 💖💖 hugs!
Your craft room is a fairytale universe, i d like to have such a place once for me and my creative thoughts.
Hi Eva! Thank you so much! I do love it, and I'm very grateful to have it. 💜💜💜
I love these tips and your journal turned out fabulous! I love what you did with your dollar tree items. Thank you also for my card you sent in the mail. This is all great stuff!
Hi Kimberly!! Thank you so very much! I’m glad you liked the card. I’m starting on a design soon for June! ❤️ xxLynn
Thank you so very much for sharing this with us. I love seeing how you did everything. I'm following along with Jessica and preparing to start my very first journal with her series she's doing now. ☺️
Hi Sherbear! That's awesome that you're making a journal! It's such a wonderful outlet, and quite addictive. 😊 I'm glad to have you here! xxLynn
So glad I found you again! This was the very first video I ever saw from you...just had a newer video pop into my feed of yours...and Bingo! I subscribed so that won’t happen again !😉
Hi Donna! Yaaaaay! So glad you found your way back! I've done the same thing before -- found channels and then lost them. In fact, I am trying to find a channel now that I cannot remember the name of. Sigh. Have a great day! xx
So great!!😻
Hi Laurie! Thank you! xx💖
I’m so excited that UA-cam suggested your channel! I’m doing the challenge too! It is really fun! I absolutely love cover! You did an amazing job!
Hi Dannagirl! Thank you so much!! I’m glad you’re here. ❤️xx
Wow! This turned out great!
Hi Jana! Thank you so much! 💖
Such a great job. I plan on doing this challenge once I have a different jj I’m working on done. Love the vanilla tip!!
Hi Darcy! Thank you so much! It was a very fun project. I'm glad to have you here! xxLynn
I think I need to go to dollar tree to try and get that book :) your journal came out great. That non-slip stuff works great for texture in gelli prints too!
Hi Brandy! I need to go back. LOL. Good to know about the gelli prints!! xxLynn ❤️
Brandi! Siri tries to correct me. 😂
Very clever!
Thank you so much!! xx ❤️
love your ideas.
Hi, Lucy! Thank you so much! 😊💕
Your journal looks super fun! Great ideas, I am also doing this challenge. You were super fast in completing yours and its so cool!
Thank you so much! What a fun challenge this was. I know you'll have fun. I was just looking at your page with the queen. It's awesome! xxLynn
@@abitofbirdsong Thanks a bunch!
Morning Lynn! I was going thru some videos in my library and came across this one from last May. Talk about a walk down memory lane! I recall falling in love with your DT journal and I did use all of your suggestions to start my junk journal stash back then. Still love DT even though it's now $D.25. :0) Stay warm and safe! Cheers from Denver CO!
Deb, that is so cool! I need to go back and watch that video again. That book was a lot of fun. Thank you so much for sharing that. You also, stay warm and safe! 💟💟💟 Cheers!
Oh Man!! I would have loved to have this journal. Too late, again. I do love what you did with your $ Tree finds. It is totally awesome!! Hugs Linda
Hi Linda! Thank you so much! I was thinking about you today and working on your journal. xx ❤️
New follower!
Just found you through Paper Terrace playlist for the Dollar Tree challenge.
Welcome! So happy to have you here! xx
I literally said “oh my God” when I saw it before you even opened it! Absolutely amazing!!!
Hi Lee!! Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun with this! xx ❤️
Brown or black shoe polish can sub as a wood dye
Good to know! Thank you for sharing!
Oh Lawd....off to the Dollar Tree I go lol. I keep seeing vids telling me I need to go to DT LOL 😆 OMG just recieved the journal & Magpie Patreon card. Both are soo beautiful 😍 I must msg you soon! I have so much to say LOL
LOL -- you always make me laugh with your "oh lawd." I have to go back to DT as well!! I was listening to some channels about when is the best time to go. I guess they get trucks on Tuesday or something, so early on Wednesdays, but I guess it can vary from store to store. They suggest asking the managers. LOL Not sure how that will go over here. I think I'll just try and find my own personal groove. Ain't no trouble to go to DT. 😂😂😂 xx
I just purchased this album! I love it :) Thank you for sharing your creation! I agree that Jessica has a wonderful channel too!
Thank you so much! I am so glad to have you here! Yes, I have been watching Jessica for a long time. She is such an inspiration.❤️xxLynn
OH MY STARS!!!! I just found your channel and love this book! Could you do a tutorial of how you made this book and spine?
Hi Carol! I'm so glad you're here! I will drop a link in here that might help. I will try to do a shorter video soon. I have done several versions of this type of spine. ua-cam.com/video/WMBZNiBriB0/v-deo.html
💖 xxLynn
@@abitofbirdsong Thank you so much!❣
@@carolaasen9345 you’re welcome!
please please do a tutorial on that spine (only fabric?!) and how u did the signatures, and how u sewed them in! inquiring minds want to know! i’ve never done it, but have seen others use shoe polish to distress the edges of pages.
Good morning! I just pinned a comment to the top of this video with a link to a tutorial. I make several versions of this type of journal. Here is the link to that video. I hope it is helpful! ua-cam.com/video/WMBZNiBriB0/v-deo.html
Thank you for the tip about shoe polish! I thought about that. I wonder if the smell would be strong...
@@abitofbirdsong THK U for the link! i’m excited to watch it. abt the shoe polish, the lady i saw using it (???) said it did not smell at all. dollar tree also has a 3 color pack of “stain” for furniture scratches. looks kinda like 3 markers. that might work. certainly cheap enough to try🤠
Thank you for the information on that! I will check it out! ❤️
Woahhhhhhh that book you found!!!!
I know! I wish I'd bought a few more to share. I went back yesterday and they are all gone. 😢
How did you use the Vanilla extract, 50/50 with water? I love that book!
Good morning! Thank you so much for dropping by. 🙂 I used straight imitation vanilla extract without any water. Bear in mind, it is imitation from the dollar tree, so the composition of it probably gives a much different result from real vanilla extract. I hope this helps! I am still using it, and so far I love it! It does not seem to leave any sort of unwanted residue on the page or anything. xxLynn
@@abitofbirdsong thank you. I’ll be sure and give it a try.
how did you attach the file folders
If you mean the flip-out pages, they are attached with masking tape. The signatures that are made from file folder pages are sewn in after being sewn to fabric strips.
What is the name of the book? Did you purchase it at $$$ tree? Love your journal!!❤
Hi Tammy! Oh my, I don't remember, but it was a book with letters in it, and I think they were love letters and maybe even love letters after breaking up. It may be in one of my videos, but I need to go back and look! I did purchase it at the Dollar Tree. I think they sold quickly because I did not see anymore of them in the store. I will see if I can figure out the book name. Thank you so much!! 💗😊
www.amazon.com/Other-Peoples-Love-Letters-Never/dp/0307382648/
Here is the book itself, but not a Dollar Tree version.
@@abitofbirdsong thank you
DT gets trucks all over the place. Some weeks youll get two in one week. Small store gets average of 1200 boxes, larger stores get up to 3000 that the underpaid employees unload themselves. Craft aisles arent money makers. Food and chem, front end, beauty has to go out first. Then candle crafts. The best part is when bored women from UA-cam come in and bug about product so they can promote their youtube channel or post a pic in Instagram for likes. Its a sad world we live in. Best thing to do is get a cart and just shop without hounding people that work there.
Thank you so much for sharing!! That's what I felt when I heard someone suggest asking the manager. I can see the sweat pouring off employees as they bring loads of merch out. I just have not felt it a good idea to ask anyone anything. I shop there regularly, so I see what is there. I can only imagine the work it's added to have hundreds of dollar tree channels popping up. xx💖
