    This is one of your best videos ever, I love that you explained layouts so we don’t just learn a how to copy something you do but you taught me a skill to use to create something balanced and beautiful. The signatures themselves are the hardest part for me and it was nice to see how you thought them out. Thank you. Hope you are feeling happier, you made me happy today :)

    Thank you for reminding us that it is possible to use almost anything -- that nothing is beyond hope -- that it's just the approach that you take to it that makes the difference. Bravo Eva!!

    Yes, Eva, you can turn mud into gold!! You have so nicely “featured” your less-desirables in a way that lets them sing their own notes and not overtake. Just your showing us how to start with a base of comfort is worth so much. Gradual building of layers with the old papers, envelopes and ephemera is the icing for this dessert of a journal 😂! Thank you!

    I didn’t like the colored papers at all when you first showed them; however, the way you finished them was pure genius. Loved the finished project. Thanks for your great idea.

    I've never seen one of your videos before and I must say I am very impressed. I have the same feeling I think about those papers, they would make adorable handkerchiefs for dolls but a bit much for a whole journal. Well I guess that the sign of a real artist, one who can make something wonderful no matter what materials she is presented with.

    In quilting we have a saying, "If you don't like a fabric, cut it up into small pieces. You'll like it better." I think the same applies here. This journal is quite gorgeous.

    Eva, these are just fabulous ideas! I can’t believe the difference it made to pair a smaller scale die cut of them with aged pages.

    Thank you! Very helpful. A thought I had while watching was to use embossing folders on the ugly papers then rub lightly with the inkpads, so the original pattern fades into the background but is still present. Similarly with using stencils over them.

    It seems such a simple concept, to find a single coordinating color to tie together a disparate group of patterned papers., then use the decorative paper as accents on two-page spreads (like pillows on a sofa). Yet, I may never have come up with this on my own, so thank you for this video! Now I'm inspired to tackle some of those "crazy" scrapbook papers in my stash.
