[@rickrackkitty]

Good idea to skip that middle section, I wouldn't have thought to do that. Needed to see this today to get motivated. Thank you!

[@CatHand]

Thanks! I’m glad you found some motivation in this video! 😊

[@44hopeful]

Very nice love the page and the quote. Thank you for inspiring me to make my first art journal and sticking with it!

[@CatHand]

Thanks, Lonna. I’m so pleased to know that you’re enjoying creating your first art journal. 😊 And if you should ever find yourself stuck, you’ll have an awesome little journal filled with quotes to get you going again, along with proof that you can do it! 😊😊😊

Thank you, Elizabeth! 😊

[@mamapillow8365]

This is beautiful and I love the sentiment. I still can't go to my local store so I must use what I have. I have tissue paper so I'll try that.

[@CatHand]

Thanks so much! Happy creating! 😊

[@spaceagekitties]

This is wonderful! I can’t wait to have a go x

[@CatHand]

Thanks, and happy creating! 😊

[@ceciliasart502]

great idea to use a check register. I know that I have some laying around since I don't use them anymore.

[@CatHand]

Thank you! Yes, it’s working out great and is a lot of fun to create in. 😊

[@wordscrafter]

I love the colors/tones of this. The bird is so sweet!

[@CatHand]

Thanks so much - I love the colors, too! And, of course, the sweet bird! 😊

[@monicacable1111]

Loved that napkin.

[@7nydia]

Love it...I have that same napkin. Thanks for sharing.

[@CatHand]

Thanks, Nydia. I love that napkin! I’ve had it for quite awhile and was so happy to use it on this page. 😊😊😊

[@rubygarner5683]

Very nice I love it!, I’m learning how to do mixed media art and you make it look very easy to do for a beginner , thx

[@CatHand]

Thank you, Ruby. I’m glad you found some encouragement in my video. 😊

[@bossieackerman1067]

I love how the page turned out. It is so peaceful. Beautiful quote. I am struggeling with napkins, must try it again. x Blessings x Mariana x UK xx

[@CatHand]

Thanks, Mariana. Sometimes I find it easier to put glue stick on my page and then lay the napkin on that, pressing it down lightly into the glue. Then, after the glue has dried, I go over the top with the matte medium or mod podge. Expect, and make peace with, a few wrinkles - and most of all, don’t give up! 😊

[@janetnieves5056]

Very beautiful,tfs🤗😊🤗

Thanks, Janet! 😊

[@sharondobbs1]

How do you print white on brown paper? is that done on a regular printer? I love it.

[@CatHand]

Hi Sharon - it’s actually printed on white paper. In Microsoft Word, I created a text box, added my text, filled the box with brown color, and changed the text color to white. 😊

[@sharondobbs1]

Thank you! I finally figured it out. That was a first and I will use this again and again!

[@theresasuttle711]

Love this! I gravitate toward the vintage so I’m looking forward to this one! And since I have nothing like what you’ve used, the quote is very appropriate! I will have to do what I can with what I have where I am! Thank you Cat for the inspiration!

[@CatHand]

Thanks, Theresa. I hope you enjoy creating your August page. Happy creating! 😊

[@nenabird2685]

I love this page. Where did you get the little ink blot stamp?

[@CatHand]

Thanks, Nena. 😊 It’s part of a stamp set I got at Scrapbook dot com: www.scrapbook.com/store/ecd-cs146.html?cmp=googleproducts&kw=ecd-cs146&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7JCa6Iul6wIVDEqGCh0MqwnKEAQYDSABEgKaHfD_BwE

[@neorachana5604]

Always loved this quote, but never saw an attribution...thanks. now I have 2 pages to do as I've been working on a set of 9 journals for the past couple of months, but at a point now where I can take a break.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Cat, I really really love 💕 this page, it’s really really stunning and gorgeous too. The little bird 🐦 is called a blue tit here in the uk 🇬🇧, but I really really love 💕 that name you used “chickadee “ I really think 🤔 that’s prettier than “ blue tit” it’s a gorgeous napkin and the whole thing is so very very pleasing to the eye. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@CatHand]

Thanks, Mags - I’m glad you love this page. Yes, the birds are from the same family, but we call them chickadees in North America. It comes from an alarm call they make, “chick-a-dee-dee-dee!” Take care! 😊

[@ThrivingWithValerieVicars]

Really cute
