Just a note that might help you. 😊 When cutting the piece for the back, if you’d rotate the paper clockwise, one time, to your right, you should be able to put your beautiful corner on the outer edge on the back...just as you did on the front. 😃 I hope this helps you. 😊 Your art is gorgeous! Also, when working with paper, it’s best not to use a water based glue. If you’ll get a bottle of Fabritek or Fabrifix (same product sold under two names...I have no idea why), I think you’ll love how it doesn’t pull or warp paper. It’s acetone based. It’s expensive, so you’ll want to use your coupon...around $12.
Thank you so much for not ignoring the “I love you Grandma”. A lot of crafters are raising or have raised little treasures. We understand that although we try our hardest to be professional on tutorials , somethings are just more important. I love your work . I just subscribed.
Omg...the "I love you Grandma" was everything! So cute to hear this in the background! And the design of this book was awesome! Thanks for all the great ideas!
2016 video. You probably know by now. That putting the paper in notebook/front cover, line it up/clamp, pencil marks work best, erasable, cut or chomp off rounded corners/before or after gluing/tapeing. Fit perfect. Those black clips work good, they come in all sizes. Great calm video with instructions. JustAThought
Just found this video. THANKS FOR SHARING. Your work is lovely. I pick up the composition books at Staples during back to school promotions. I've picked them up for as little as .20 each.
This is a beautiful pack of paper . Paper Studio is a Hobby Lobby brand and as of now, October, 2018, it is still available. Love the video and I got some good ideas from it.
I have watched SOOOoooo many altered composition notebook videos but the look of your final product is one of my favorites! I love the paper spine and the tag shaped closure thing! Beautiful!
Hi Kimberly! Nice to meet you. Nice to hear "God bless" at the end of your video. It's far to rare now-a-days. I'm really enjoying paper art and many other crafts I have been learning from UA-cam! It helps get my mind off politics!! :)) I'm wrestling with my computer and printer right now. I'm trying to finish a project for my anniversary tomorrow! Pray it works today! Thank you. God bless.
I finished my "mini-book" for my hubby! He really liked it!! I used "The Primrose" Stack Paper.DCWV, inc. Yours reminds me of some of it. Very pretty. Have a nice day. God bless.
Thank you so much!!!!! I have wanted to make a junk journal....but I get so many nice supplies to make it! BUT....Idon't sew and don't want to put all the holes in the spine!!! I CAN DO THIS!!!!! AND I can use my pretty scrapbook paper inside too! I'm SO relieved there's an altered book!!!!!!! Now I won't be so anxious as to whether I can do it or not!!!!!! Thanks a lot#!!!!!!
I'm like 7 minutes into this video and I'm already so grateful to see that someone else has a hard time with measuring. I find it so tedious and I'm terrible at it. Nice to know I'm not alone in not enjoying that part. :)
Everyone has the colors they like and will tend to use them more. I Iike the greens together. I probably would have used more of the colors in the flowers. Just my personal choice.
Love this Altered Composition Notebook. Just beautiful. This paper pad is one of my all time favorites. I used up the ones that I had, and then my husband hunted some down for me on Ebay. Paper Studio is Hobby Lobby's brand. Michael's Brand is Recollections.
I was watching your video and I told my husband, wait, that's a Colorado drivers license. Then I looked in the info box and realized we live super close! I'm in Firestone! Maybe someday we need to get together and do some crafting! Glad I found you
Turned out really nice I'm really proud of you I really learned a lot from watching you thanks a lot. Lovely on your kids were really good tonight. Love Leanne
Are you still making craft videos? I like what you've done. What a money saver not buying dies for basic shapes! Amazon has a few different templates available. I also like to do journaling and they will be great for that! I'm looking for meal planning binder or notebook ideas. That's how I got here :) I'm about to take one of these composition books apart, cut down through the stitch line, Trim off the rounded binding edge and punch holes with my Bind-it-all machine to put the Owires in. I want it to be flat when working on it.
I totally agree with you, making videos is quite a process, I just started my channel this January and I love it but it does require a lot of time! So nice to have found your channel 😊
I was always wondering what the trick was to smooth it out so that it won't bubble up. Thank you for the trick. I am a disabled person who likes to do things like this as a hobby.
I do not have that pad in my collection, but I see how pretty it is with the projects you are creating and paper is 1/2 off this week, so YEAH I will be going tomorrow. TFS
this video is one of the very best i have ever seen can't wait to go to the dollar store and get a few notebooks! you have done a great job doing this video KUDOS for to you!
Hello from, North Carolina! I'm new to your channel and I just loved this idea! It turned out beautiful, and I am going to give this a try! Tyfs, and wishing you a great day! 🙋🤗😘
Beautiful Book. I might make a suggestion on how I would measure the book for the exact cuts. I would just use a ruler and measure the book and/or the book may have the measurements on it, paper normally does. Then you can cut it the exact measurements. Good Luck. God bless you!
Hi Kimberly. Love your work. The notebooks are such fun. Thanks for sharing. (p.s. You'll probably have better results if you pre punch a hole for your eyelets. same size is good, )
Your book is beautiful!☺ I'm sure your friend will love it!!! I agree with you the string is better. My fav is the pale blue ricrac ribbon, but the cross adds a sweet subtle touch. BEAUTIFUL!💜
Oh my gosh! I just saw this video.. Love your work. But what really grabbed my attention was that your address is Fort Lupton Colorado. I grew up in Brighton and graduated from Brighton High School a million years ago! What a small world. Any hoos, thank you for this video. I will refer to it a lot.
Like your book. I would have not re-cut the cover paper though. It would have become a creative moment where I gessoed and painted or stenciled quick florals and greenery blending it into the paper colors.
You don't need to fast forward just stop and start again. Thanks again,love your slow pace most of the time. Good for people just learning the techniques.
Just a note that might help you. 😊 When cutting the piece for the back, if you’d rotate the paper clockwise, one time, to your right, you should be able to put your beautiful corner on the outer edge on the back...just as you did on the front. 😃

You put so much time and attention to this! What a blessing you are to those who receive these🙏🏼🥰

And shocking. Your voice sounds like you are about 25! Not nearly old enough to have granchildren.
Your voice is so calming and your work is so creative...thank you for sharing...
What a great project really enjoyed watching you making this 😊😊

Faith when glueing I use my brayer instead of credit card. It saves worrying about tearing the paper and still does a good job.
Thank you, am definitely trying this as my first project, you have really encouraged me with your tutorial. God Bless You!!!!
I glue the paper to the cover then cut around it, perfect ever time.
Just found this video. THANKS FOR SHARING. Your work is lovely. I pick up the composition books at Staples during back to school promotions. I've picked them up for as little as .20 each.

Wow. I'm making Prayer Journals for a little church fund raiser and your tutorial is amazing! Thank you.

Donna White I always struggle with measuring. you are not alone! God bless you and enjoy your day!
I love the finished product. I am inspired to make something similar for my niece who is going to college in the fall.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Kimberly. I am a believer too and I love this tutorial. Looking forward to viewing more!
An idea for your string wrap around is to braid it. That will make it thicker and give it some weight and strength.
Very pretty project! Thank you for sharing!!!
Love this Altered Composition Notebook. Just beautiful. This paper pad is one of my all time favorites. I used up the ones that I had, and then my husband hunted some down for me on Ebay. Paper Studio is Hobby Lobby's brand. Michael's Brand is Recollections.

Great idea using license style card however try a trolling pin love finished book. Wish I could get those basic books here in uk
Try punching a hole before using the eyelet punch.👍 That's the way mine works.
I like the real time LONG videos. Beautiful. Tfs
I just found you! I love your videos, they are so doable. You’re humor is also appealing to me. Thanks, I’m a new subscriber.

I love your videos, and I love your tattoo!!
Beautiful!! I have got to find one of those needle tips!!
Great job I really enjoyed this
That paper is really pretty and you did a great job covering the book.
Sharon Jackson Beautiful papers
Hi Kimberly. Love your work. The notebooks are such fun. Thanks for sharing. (p.s. You'll probably have better results if you pre punch a hole for your eyelets. same size is good, )
Your book is beautiful!☺ I'm sure your friend will love it!!! I agree with you the string is better. My fav is the pale blue ricrac ribbon, but the cross adds a sweet subtle touch. BEAUTIFUL!💜
I am enjoying your videos. Where can I find a needle type adaptor for my glue? That looks so helpful for small areas. Thank you!
Really pretty,thank you for all the tips in making this. Hope you have a great day amd may God bless you always 💕 💕 💕
This is a great Christmas gift idea!
This is really pretty. Perfect!
Oh my gosh! I just saw this video.. Love your work. But what really grabbed my attention was that your address is Fort Lupton Colorado. I grew up in Brighton and graduated from Brighton High School a million years ago! What a small world. Any hoos, thank you for this video. I will refer to it a lot.
You did a wonderful job on the notebook!!
Like your book.
I would have not re-cut the cover paper though. It would have become a creative moment where I gessoed and painted or stenciled quick florals and greenery blending it into the paper colors.
Thank you for your input!
Gorgeous book..just a suggestion- measure with a ruler how wide and tall you need then cut with paper cutter..then use a corner rounder on corners.
You don't need to fast forward just stop and start again. Thanks again,love your slow pace most of the time. Good for people just learning the techniques.
So pretty!
Paper Studio is from Hobby Lobby.
Super cute book
I really enjoyed your video, Kimberly! You have a new subscriber! Have a great day and God Bless.
Can you post the link in Amazon to the tag template? Love your inspiration!
This is absolutely beautiful!!
Very beautiful would love to try that
I love long real-time videos! I agree, you should open an Etsy or eBay. You’re really talented! 😊
Very nice! Great work.
Beautiful and well done.
So beautiful
