Anyone who can fussy cut those tiny butterflies is not clumsy! Beautiful work! Thanks from the Pacific Northwest!
Haha! Eli eve me, I am clumsy as heck 💕
Ever since I found your channel I've watched you first thing Sunday morning. You are always so upbeat and make such lovely projects. In this time of uncertainty, I think it helps us all to have creatives like you providing us joy. Thank you so much, and to all, stay safe.
Butterflies are so beautiful and the ghost ones are especially ❤️ Love your project. You’re very gifted and thank you for sharing your gifts with us
I really do appreciate all your wonderful comments. Thanks so much Amanda 💕💕💕
That noise in your home is welcoming! I’m glad your babies are with you! 🥰
Aw, thanks so much Stacey . Stay safe ❤️
Gorgeous pages!
Lives has indeed drastically changed. My 17 yr old is adjusting. All the school work done by the internet. Not easy to create your own structure for this. But I'm so proud of him. Next year final exams so need to keep on track.
Thanks for your sunday distraction 💋💋
Its so surreal isn’t it. I thought Alex would be the one to freak with all of this, but it’s Sam that’s gone into meltdown. I’m glad your son is adjusting too. Perhaps it’s because there is a specific reason to all this that is easier for them to get their heads around. Lets hope this is over quickly🤞. I hope you all stay safe and well ❤️ x
It’s crazy how you find really neat things to put together, rather trash or what not. I never get cool stuff like that. The items looks great together, like they came in a set together.
Unfortunately we don’t get as much junk mail anymore, but I am always on the lookout for interesting things to use 💕
Great pages Nina. Love the bubble envelope and the wall paper flowers look great. All your additions match perfectly and I love how you’ve carried on the theme to the next pages. The green number 6 was constantly drawing my eye though - Maybe another butterfly to cover it? Look after yourselves xx
Thanks Lynn, you too!
Wonderful work as always Nina! I really love the blue butterflies and the sentiment that you chose to use was just fitting for the current times! Australia has closed their borders, there's a lot of anxieties in the world, so I love being able to find a video to distract my mind momentarily. Thanks Nina
Thanks Chelle. Its surreal isn’t it. Stay safe and well ❤️🦋❤️
What a gorgeous video easy going and upbeat. In this awful time we need focus and a place to replenish our spirits. The colours and design of the pages are superb, doorways into the imagination. Can't wait to see what you create for the pocket. You are a joy to watch thank you for Sharing. 👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤
I cannot tell you how much you kind words mean Wendy. We will all pull through this horrible time together. Stay Safe ❤️❤️❤️
Good morning nina, this morning you were making my sunday start as always and that's such a nice thing in times when everything is just not the same. Love the two new pages in the book and hope that creating them gave you joy, much needed in our lives now. I hope that we will soon wake up from this bad dream in the mean time try to keep as safe as possible, you and your loved ones and as always I say have a good week and see you next sunday, lots of love lenaxx
Good morning Lena. Glad you like the new pages. I had no mojo whatsoever all week as everything has been so strange. But I felt much better once I sat down and started creating. Lets hope this is all over soon and things can return to normal for all of us. Stay safe ❤️ xxx
Thank you Nina for another great video. 2020 has been a weird year for me from the start . Havent been able to art much as I've had a lot of time away from home as i had to spend a lot time visiting a sick relative in the north . At least they got home from hospital a couple weeks ago before the whole world has gone into meltdown. I just visited two weeks ago and cant see when I'll manage to go again . Its heartbreaking but nothing I can do . Luckily there are still others in the family close who can and do keep an eye out for my very vulnerable aged relative. Times are hard but I'm truthfully greatful to watch your great chatty videos . Also hope to get back to arting more and use some some of your inspirational videos again . A big thank Nina . Hope you and yours keep safe
Hello Maria. I’m sorry to hear about your sick relative. Thank goodness they are now at home and have closer relatives that can help. It all seems so surreal doesn’t it. Lets hope it’s all over quickly so we can return to normality again. I think we’re all in for some challenging times ahead. Stay Safe ❤️
These are really lovely Nina , the blue envelope makes a lovely page ,,,,. And love the others ,,,,.xxx 😊💕🎨
Thanks so much Annie 🦋❤️💕 xxxxx
Fabulous pages Nina - loved them all and using the butterfly backs from the napkins was brilliant. I did hold my breath though when you were lifting the butterfly to reposition it! Great work
Haha, I was on a death wish with that one wasn’t I ❤️🦋🦋🦋
I’m just catching up with your amazing videos. You’re giving me so much inspiration as I’m new to crafting and mixed media is my favourite. Anyway, you may well do this but when I use napkins, I save the backings and stamp designs on them to make my own collage paper. So even your butterflies could be stamped with a coloured floral stamp for example. Of course it has to be an archival ink but it works really well.
P.s. I’ve even bought myself a small sewing machine 🙈😂
Thanks so much for your videos, Julia 😊
I'm happy to hear your sons are with you. Let's hope that this awful time in history resolves itself and gives us a breather to catch up, in case it circles back around and hits again. Stay safe and thanks for yo youtube videos plus my other talented youtubers. The day passes much more enjoyably.
Thanks Phyllis, I’m so glad we are are all here together during this very frightening time, and yes let’s hope it doesn’t circle back around again 🤞🙏🏻. Take care and stay safe ❤️
Beautiful pages, I love the butterflies and the big flowers. Wallpaper makes for great crafty stash, I'm sure I have more than I'll ever use in my lifetime as I always pick up some samples every time I go to B&Q.
I’m the same Jackie, I just can’t resist. I thought these bold flowers might be a big big, but there were perfect for this, stay safe ❤️
Really beatiful, I love how it turned out!!! Thank you! Stay well and healthy!!! 👏🏻👍🏻😍
Thanks Almut. You too 💕 xoxo
Nina that's beautiful! The envelope is something else. What a pretty thing to work with. I love your colours and I really love the idea of using up the other layers of the tissue as it's given interesting contrasts. That really is junk to treasure x
Thanks so much for your sweet comment. It’s very satisfying using junk and some of it is gorgeous and far too nice to be thrown away 💕
Wow, gorgeous pages. You always come up with the most beautiful papers, butterflies etc. for your pages. I just love them.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Karen. I am a hoarder of anything pretty or Interesting ❤️
Love these blue pages and that blue envelope is very unique! TFS the inspiration, Nina! Stay safe and healthy!
Thanks Gail. I seem to be in a monochromatic phase. I hope you are well and will remain safe too 💕
Beautiful Nina .. love the colours and the content . Fresh clean and very appealing . I hope you are being spoilt today . Enjoy . Kay xx
Thanks so much Kay. We had a lovely family day and I was spoilt by the wonderful weather. It was wonderful to be able to get out into the garden and finally soak up some sunshine and fresh air, and the first cut is now done. I hope you had a lovely day too. Stay safe and well ❤️ xXx
Absolutely stunning! I love watching your creative mind at work. This came out so beautiful! Love the blues with the natural burlap color! Just wonderful! Tfs! Stay safe and sane! 🙂💗
Thanks so much Nancy. My sanity is the thing I’m most worried about ❤️
Hahaha! We all are in the same boat but being able to distract what's going on all around us, what better way can we all come together to create beautiful artwork?! Watching your videos is like having you right in our home! Thank you for taking the time to do this. 💗
Ooooo I love this project you just finished!! I love flowers and butterflies together and the colors are just beautiful🦋 just watching you pull everything together is so relaxing. Elegant and simple! Stay well as we will all get through this! I am across the pond in Hoboken NJ and everything is in complete shutdown. I only go out just for essentials and that is quick😁🦋☕ Happy Mother's Day to you🌻🌷
Hello Janice. I have been to Hoboken. My son used to be obsessed with the cake show Cake Boss and we visited Carlo’s Bakery when we were staying in NY a few years ago. Very fond memories. I’m glad you enjoyed these pages. Stay safe and well ❤️🦋❤️
Nina, the pages are beautiful, and adding the white butterflies was a great idea.
Thanks Therese. Kristin suggested I add the stardust embossing over them, and I love that idea. Stay safe ❤️
just beautiful Nina So happy to hear you are all togeather.big hug my friend
Thanks Josie. Stay Safe. HUGS ❤️
Beautiful pages 😊....I was shouting yes for your ghosty butterflies.😊X
Haha.. Kristin suggested adding the stardust embossing powder to them and I love that idea ❤️ x
Just gorgeous!! Brilliant! My favorite colors Butterflies and flowers gorgeous! Thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks Christina. Glad you like the pages 💕🦋
Gorgeous, gorgeous pages!! I love everything about them! You put pieces together that I would never have thought of! So creative. Thanks so much for posting.
Thanks so much Susan. I really glad you enjoyed it ❤️
I really enjoyed your video! I love the blue envelope and blue flower! So gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! Lots of hugs and prayers!😀❤🙏🤗
Thanks so much Loretta 💕
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia Your welcome
Nina, I love your blue pages. That's my favorite color. And I want to thank you and all the other UA-camrs who are taking time to continue posting content to keep us entertained and inspired during this difficult time. I found a quote from Winston Churchil which seems apropos: Just keep buggering on. Stay well.
Hello Kathy. Its a horrible situation we are in, but we can can get through this together if we all just keep buggering on. I love that ❤️. Stay Safe ❤️
Your double pages are so beautiful. Thanks a lot to share with us 🦋
Thanks so much. I’m glad you like them 💕
Oh this is so so cool 💖💜💚❤ I Love it 😍 Vintage and Beautiful Color 😍👍👍👍👍 🍀🐞🌻 hugs from Germany ☺🌻💚❤
Thanks so much Ellen . Stay safe ❤️
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia you too 🍀🐞
Love that. Gorgeous. Also made me look through my wallpaper books. Found some true beauties.
That’s awesome. I think we forget what we’ve got sometimes don’t we. Happy Creating 💕
Love this Nina!! The colors are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!♥️
Thanks Susan 💕
Absolutely gorgeous Nina! 💕😍💕😍
Thanks Lainey 🥰❤️
Lovely work Nina! I am a fan of blue in all its hues. Now you have your sewing machine out you could do that fabric pocket . . . ! Do take care of you and your family, stay safe.
Thanks Nettie. Great idea 💕
Great project Nina as usual! Thanks for sharing 🌺😘
Thanks Antonio. I hope all is well with you. Stay safe ❤️
Nina Ribena thank you Nina! You too! 🌺😘
I thought maybe it would look nice to take the Versamark pen to color in the white butterflies and then emboss them with the stardust embossing powder that you used on your other page. This was a fun video to watch! Thanks and stay healthy and safe during this difficult time in our lives.
Thanks so much Kristin. I love the idea of using the stardust embossing powder on the white butterflies. Brilliant ❤️. Stay safe 💕
Thanks for a bit of colour & jolity in this Interesting Time.
Wonderful as always
Thanks Fenella, its a very strange time for us all isn’t it. Stay Safe ❤️
I just love watching you work on your journals! As far as your fabri-tac, if you use a little fingernail polish (acetone) and pour in bottle, it will loosen it and make it last longer , right to the last drop! Haha😀
Thanks so much for the tip 💕
Oh Nina that’s really really stunning and gorgeous I really really love 💕 what you’ve done here.....and how you’ve transformed that envelope ✉️. And that’s really really great 👍 idea 💡 using the other butterflies 🦋 on the other side. Thank you so much Nina, you’ve made my Sunday....please stay safe and well xxx Mags
Aw, thanks so much Mags. Its a scary time isn’t it. I hope you stay safe and well too ❤️ xxx
Wonderful Nina and my favourite colour too. A great distraction from the worry. Since I'm not going anywhere (being of a certain age!!) I'm trying to sort my craft area out. Have a lovely day.
Thanks Christie. Its a worrying time isn’t it. You are in the best place so keep your art up and stay safe and well ❤️
Your pages turned out very well. I just love the serendipity of junk mail envelopes. Yours was beautiful. Thanks -Marsha from Texas
Thanks Marsha. That was a particularly nice envelope wasn’t it. 💕
Love this! Great job using the 'back' of the butterflies🦋
Thanks so much Brenda 💕🦋💕
Absolutely LOVE what you've done here, Nina. Gorgeous! Please tell your younger son not to be too downhearted about his A levels. I quite understand how he is feeling but as a (retired) high school teacher who used to teach A level pupils, I can tell him that all the hard work he has put in over the last couple of years will definitely not be wasted because he has been advancing steadily in learning all about his chosen subjects, and that knowledge and those skills will stay with him. I wish him well and also you and the rest of the family too! XX
Thanks so much for these encouraging words Edna. I hope you and your family stay safe as well ❤️
Edna Morgan those words resonated as my two eldest grandsons were about to take GCSEs and A levels. I know they will grow into lovely young men, learning many valuable life skills in the weeks and months ahead 🙂🙏
Absolutely beautiful! I love how you put texture and color together! How awesome! Gonna go play now...
Happy Creating 💕
It's a definite yay to the butterflies!
Thanks Jane 💕🦋💕
Beautiful. I love butterflies and the napkin, want one. Thanks for sharing. X
Message me with your address and I’ll send you one. Stay safe Angie 💕 x

LOVE this!! My favorite page(s) yet, simply beautiful 🦋
Thanks so much Chrisann 💕🦋
You are so engrossing Nina with those miracles you come up with. These pages are so spectacular. Those delicate white butterflies leave me with the question, how well will they survive?
Thanks so much Elizabeth. The butterflies are fine as I used gel medium to protect them. It has a lovely matte finish and you can’t tell it’s there 💕
I love how your pages turned out. They're beautiful
Thanks so much Johanne 💕🦋💕
I shall be looking in my mail box now for interesting envelopes, come on junk mail deliver!! Once more I love your videos.

Oh I love that envelope, looks gorgeous with the flower, must get my wallpapers out again... I keep forgetting them.... I do love 'big' things and wallpapers are great for that ❤️❤️.... Love all your butterflies can't believe you fussy cut them out 😯 beautiful pages 🦋🌺🌷💜
Haha! I did think about using a small paint brush, but they were a bit too close together. Glad I persevered with the fussing cutting as I love the ghost ones 💕🦋 xx
Beautiful pages! I love what you did with the pretty envelope!! Thanks!!
Thanks Joanne 💕

Thanks Levette. You too ❤️
Good afternoon Nina, you absolutely out did yourself. I just loved this video. I wish we had envelopes like that in the states. You're so artistic I thought you stenciled it yourself. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely talent. Be well. 😘
This is a beautiful spread Nina, I love the color and burlap sets it off wonderfully. You and your family stay safe and happy. Have a great week.

Thanks so much Sherry. You too ❤️
Thank you for posting on UA-cam from those of us who don't have Facebook
Thanks Cathy. We will all get through this together. Stay safe ❤️
Amen
Well! Those pages turned out amazing! I really love how you wound up using the little tissue butterflies on the back side, so clever. And it is illuminating to see how the little details like backing all your words with the same ribbon unifies the two page spread. Thanks for inspiring us and hope you all stay healthy.
Thanks so much Ellie. I found myself completely immersed in these pages after all the negativity we have all been experiencing due to this horrible virus. I hope you and your family stay safe and well too ❤️
Just found you and now filled with lots of new ideas
That’s lovely to hear. Thank you 💕
Beautiful! Really love what you've done today, how you've tied all the elements together across both pages. They look stunning. Thanks for sharing 💗
Thanks so much Steph, glad you like the pages 🦋💕🦋
I accidentally found your vlog tonight ! I'm so happy I did ! I love your pages and hearing you explain your process ! New sub ! Take care !!
Thank you so much Kristi. I hope you’ll find more videos you enjoy 💕
You have such wonderful idea's. Beautiful pages, you gave me plenty to make for my journal haha. The envelope is really nice, we hardly get any mail, everything is digital.
Thanks Yvonne. We don’t get a great deal here anymore, but I save the treasures. I hope you stay safe and well too ❤️
Thank you very much for the inspiraties! Your work is amazing!
Thank you so much 💕
Gorgeous, love this! Xx
Thank you! I really enjoyed watching your video and again I have learnt a lot!

These are just so lovely, I love that last page tfs Nina, Stay safe and well Kia Kaha
Thanks Maggie, I like the ghost butterflies to. I hope you and your family stay safe as well ❤️
Love the pages 😍.
Thanks Carmen 💕
Oh Nina, this is beautiful the colours are gorgeous. Stay safe x
Thanks so much Marie 🥰❤️ xxx
Your pages are absolutely stunning, who doesn't love a bit of wallpaper. You did well with your gluestick, (I usually end up using Aileen's tacky glue for wallpaper), it just won't stick down for me. Take care, we are in lockdown too, we have 4 school teachers in our family, so not good for them at all and one works in the hospital. Worrying times for all but we can get through this. Tfs xo
Thanks Elizabeth. Its a horrible situation we are all in, and hats off to the teachers and medics in your family. Lets hope this is all over quickly. I hope you all stay safe and well ❤️
This is beautiful Nina, blue - my favourite colour and what a lovely envelope. I’ve had a couple of pieces of wallpaper from B&Q too lol. So frustrating not being able to go in my craftshed it’s making me so anxious. Tfs hugs x
Its surreal isn’t it. Stay safe ❤️
This very cool!!
Your using things that I have buried in my stash somewhere!!
Now that I'm at home till all this blows over I'll have to do some digging!!
We will all get through this horrible time together by keeping our art on. Stay safe Stacy ❤️
Wow it is gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks so much 💕
Nina you are welcome
Love what you’ve done, happy Mother’s Day 😁 enjoy your day with your boys! 🥰🧚♀️
Thanks so much. We had a lovely day here yesterday. It was a beautiful sunny day and so Alex and I were out in the garden doing the first cut of year, and Steve and Sam were in charge of grocery shopping and then dinner. It reminds me of Christmas when everyone is at home and pulling together. Lets hope we can all stay safe and well. Take care my friend ❤️
Hi, good inspiration, I need to check out some wallpaper samples, the flowers look really good, you have alot if lively ink colours to choose from. I'm new to junk journalling so I haven't got loads of supplies yet, lol
Thanks Sandra, wallpaper is a great resource, so I you will get your hands on some. Gift wrap and patterned paper bags are worth collecting too 💕
Just beautiful Nina!
Hugs Marsha
Thanks so much Marsha 💕
Happy mothers day, I love how these pages came together. I found the butterfly pages particularly poignant... a vibrant page and almost the ghost of that page. What was and what is... but a reminder that there is always beauty xx stay safe
That was so lovely to read Louise. I hope you stay safe and well too ❤️🦋❤️
