In this episode, I add a ribbon and some embellishments to the chicken journal. We go on a quick tour of the lace drawer, make some journal cards using those pesky magazine reply mail cards, add some tucks and well.. come on... let’s get to it!

Let’s make some mini-books / journals! These are 3 x 3” and so much fun and easy to make. I show you two different ways to bind them in this and the next video. Keep in mind these are not tiny. Mini is mini and tiny is tiny (see video) :) Use of new materials and supplies, yarn on hand and my el-cheapo cradle punch that turns out to be no so bad! And... Miss Gray is up to some serious antics! Come on then... Let’s get to it!

Hello! This episode picks up with the spine. Yes ye olde spine. We use a template to punch holes for eyelets and then and some bling to the corners and begin sewing our signatures in! Come on then…. Let’s get to it!

It’s tiny book time! This is a follow up from Ep. 13... the book is like 1” by 1”. Follow along and have fun! #JunkJournal #DaffodilsGalleria

I just felt like making a book... So in order to do so, I deconstruct a book, flip through an old reproduction of a 1908 Sears, Roebuck Catalog, and a lovely Atlas of Britain! Come on along and hear that crunch of old paper as we fold our signatures and start a new journal!

We’re loaded up for today’s episode! It’s all about ephemera today. All sorts of mixed media in play: gesso, napkins, matte medium, random “scrappage”, washi tape, and what will I make from a tear off top of a tissue box??? Hmmm Many uses for gesso, what to do with a repurposed book, make a bookmark from scraps and a book page that says, “Camus finally visited Greece in the spring of 1955.” We coin the new term “napkinry” and discuss one of my favourite annual on-line events, #SketchbookRevival! Come on! Let’s get to it!

Well! After sleeping on it I realised I need to re-cut the book cloth and I figured out a few details on how to proceed with this insane binding! In this episode I lay out the basics of going forward and attach the headband and get interrupted by the delivery guy… Come on then… Let’s get to it! ******* If you love what I do, would you please consider supporting my work?

I uploaded out of order! To see what happened before this and Episode 35 watch Episode 36 first. So sorry for the confusion! It’s time to put signatures into our 3 part journal. No audio issues this time. However there are a few battles that I have to endure. Come on then... Let’s get to it.

Hi all. This is my girl, Glory. She’s full (and I mean FULL) of sweet babies and the water takes off the load a bit. Due on Sunday the 8th.

Today is tag day. I take some book pages and some images from #thegraphicsfairy website and go to town making a couple cute tags for tucking into your junk journals! Tons of fun and super easy and quick. Come on then... Let's get to it! #JunkJournal #DaffodilsGalleria #tags

We’ve got a MESS on our hands! Let’s do something clever to clean it up. Today I make a big old journal card using the scraps of fabric and paper on the workspace. Messy can be fun!

Enter into the zen room and let’s continue working on Journal Cards. Lots of creativity happening in here. Come on.. Let’s get to it!

Episode 65???!!! Say what??? We're just getting started! In this episode, we put together our Venetian plaster page journal. It's going to be epic! I hope... We've been working on this one for awhile so I am anxious for the "let's wrap this baby up" stage. Come on then... Let's get to it! By the way, almost all of what you see me make here are for sale. If you're interested in buying this (or any) journal, just send me a message!

We’re working on building signatures in this episode with a little help from one of the puppies. :) Come on then … Let’s get to it!

We have a lot to cover here... Belly Bands, tucks, different ways to create them. And a quick cameo appearance by...... ?????

We continue on our journals for our girls… I must apologise for the camera work. I wasn’t paying attention and much of what I filmed was off camera. I will endeavour to be more cognisant of this in future! Anyway… Come on then… Let’s get to it!

In this episode, I use an EMPTY (and yes, I ate them all) chocolate box to start a new little journal. It’s tasty!

I have decided to just craft and go. Makes it much easier for my loathing of video editing! I just craft along and you follow along, fast forward as desired. You get to see it all. Good. Bad. Ugly. Beautiful. 🥰 I will just name the episodes consecutively. This is a new beginning and should be lots of fun!

I call this our “variety of fun” episode! I mean whenever a Golden Retriever is involved you just KNOW it’s going to be good! There’s a variety of things we do today. Such as some quick corner tucks made from book pages, you will note I am sporting a snazzy band-aid post plaster page production, we gesso up some journal cards with our new sponge brushes and I noticed while putting this video together the magazine page I use has the same wallboard I have in my studio! It’s called “Wall Control” Great stuff (link below 😉) if you’re looking for away to organise your world. I show you guts and stuff - FROM BOOKS PEOPLE! Yeesh. Then it’s time for show and tell. Have a look at some book boxes I made eons ago as well as paper boxes I used to teach lawyers and CEO’s how to make. Say what??? Seriously.... it’s loads of fun so hey... let’s do that today, too! Come on then, Let’s get to it! Oh here’s the link I promised: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001J7MMUY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is an interesting episode in that it took me over a month to record it! Ha! I did one portion then left town and did the second portion upon my return... 3 weeks later! Anyway, first portion is the gutting of a peculiar book with embossed pages and what I do with that is a whole other thing... get your pencils ready! Then... 3 weeks later I bring home a bag of treasures from a thrift store haul and begin sharing that haul with you... until the camera suddenly dies and well... such is the life of me! Come on then... Let’s get to it!

I thought we should play around with some book pages lying around taking up space. Let’s make these cute little book page folios for use in your junk journals. They can be pasted in as is for a cute little pocket or used as a tuck inside another slide in area (belly band etc.) on a page. Loads of ways to get creative with it!

Tally ho … Sally forth… Carry on and what not. .. Who are these girls, Tally, Sally, and Carry anyway? Let’s put our signatures together. Much organising of pages and such. Come on then… Let’s get to it!

Oh I’m having fun creating this journal! THIS journal is why I love book binding. The figuring out what will and won’t work and creating a means to make it work! In our new “Bluebell Hill Peekaboo” journal we give it wings to fly today! Come on then… Let’s get to it! ***** If you love what I do, would you please consider supporting my work? Buy me a coffee!

Today we’re playing jeweler and adding charms to our journal. It’s a nice added touch to have the dangles. Much tedious jump ring work and knot tying ahead. Come on. Let’s get to it!

I’m having so much fun making this ring bound journal! In this episode I finish the 2nd cover and put the eyelets in and the rings. Come on! Let’s get to it!
