Having watched you for so many years I can see the things you've let evolve and those that have stayed around for awhile. I cannot see a mustard yellow and teal or turquoise combination without thinking of you. Every time I use gold splatters it's because I know you would say "that's what's missing." It's fun to see a journal page as I scroll through Instagram and know it's yours because of the style. I think your biggest addition is the denim. Love it!

To make a journal dedicated to favorite projects is such a good idea!! Really like the printout in the beginning of the video where pieces of fabric are glued over the edge of a paper on both sized. I’ll do the same for my junk… paper/fabric bags. I do not need many junk journals but I am re-organizing and making bags & accordion envelopes for my papers and fabrics now. Those I need a lot 😊. I’ll also scan those papers and print them in various sizes to be used in clusters, pockets, etc. As always, thanks a lot for the inspiration. 7:45. You asked. I loved fabrics but struggled with my project when I was just sewing. Not too many possibilities. Stopped that and switched to paper. It was OK but then discovered paper/fabric combo and I am finally super happy. The structure and the sound that paper adds to the fabric is a game changer.

It is interesting seeing your favourites together like that. You’re definitely a “denim blue & yellow highlights grunge with a memory twist” girl 😊 I love how effortlessly you throw together a journal, while I’m still struggling to put together my first. I have a theme in mind, have a squillion pages to choose from (since I love just making pages best), have mentally picked colours to decorate my page edges (Luise style) &… there my first journal waits…/sigh. But, I’ll keep watching you just zip these together & maybe it will convince my brain finally that it’s only paper, it doesn’t need to be perfect from the start & it will create a life of its own once the pages are together & I start playing with them.

Verliebt bin ich auch in die Übersicht all Deiner Kunstwerke. Das ist wie eine kleine Ausstellung. Sooo wunderschöne Objekte! Was mir dabei aufgefallen ist, dass sich die Farben wiederholen. Also praktisch eine Einheit bilden. Sie sind meistens vintagebraun, gelb/gold, jeansblau oder in anderen Blautönen, ab und zu rot/pink. Freue mich, wenn all die Fotos ein Zuhause finden in Deinem neuen kleinen Journal. Viel Spaß dabei! Herzliche Grüße von Rita❣️😘😘

You always inspire me to create!💖 I've been stuck in a mass making project of several writing and art journals for water color, mixed media & sketch. I think I have about 20 total.👀 I've already finished & given a few away as gifts. But the rest are going to a shop for my daughter to sell for me. The greatest work is on the open-spine covers, with different, elaborately painted/mixed media designs on each. It has taken me at least two months longer than it should, as I have to work around my disability with chronic pain. And...have you ever had those projects where something goes wrong at nearly every turn? Ugh...I am just so over it.🙄 I would love to move on to something more free & fun. Your videos don't help either.🤨 lol!! When I watch, I fall in love with all of your little beauties.💗 I want to just throw these books in a box and do something fun...just for "me". I really wanna try one of those tiny tab-spines. They seem so fun!🤩 Thank you for sharing your time & your passion. I love to see when you have a new video up.💗 Blessings.💜💜💜

There's just something about denim, isn't there? I haven't made nearly as many journals as you, but 3 of mine have denim full or part covers. I just thought of an idea.

Genius video recapping your favorites. Your little journal is also genius. I look forward to seeing you dabble in it. Other recurring themes in your art are wings (bird, butterflies, fairies, dragonfly) and your signature colors (blue or teal and mustard). Sure, you can stick with what you’ve done before, but why not try something different? Tho you should be you. I admire you for speaking two languages (that I know of). Why is your English so impeccable? I’ve wondered for a long time. But … one correction. Height rhymes with bite. It doesn’t have a th sound at the end. My mother had some German. Ist das nicht eine schnitzel bank? Ja das ist eine schnitzel bank. Part of a silly rhyming thing my mother taught me. It goes on and on. Every now and then I look at it on the internet. I miss my mom. She brought me up silly. 🤪
