I like that you do things you don’t like and in front of our eyes come up with a solution. Yea!!
There is not one episode you've ever put out that I didn't love, but this series has to be hands down one of the best tutorials I have ever watched. Love your style, love your colors, but I confess you had me at the first episode I ever watched of you because of your accent! Love all your tutorials, keep them coming!
Aaaaaw you are a sweetheart, thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
❤ Beautiful and inspiring!! You are so proficient with collaging… you put them together so effortlessly! Also … I love that you are so meticulous!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank you

Thanks so much Maria! So happy you joined me on this journey! 🥰☺️
Loved watching this series. I learned so much being brand new to junk journaling.
This book turned out just lovely and the very best part for me was when you figured out how to stencil the rose with watercolor. I was cheering with you and I will definitly give your new found technique a try. Sending a big hug.
Hehe thanks sweetie! Looking forward to seeing this technique in your journals (or lanterns) ☺️❤️
you probably dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf lately xD

Thank you so much Kamali! So happy you enjoyed this! ☺️❤️
Thanks so much for this series. I enjoyed it so much. ❤️
This book is beautiful ❤️. Love your decorating style
I loved this series too! It did inspire me to try an altered book that I am currently working on. Since I am so new to paper crafting and journal making, it has been very frustrating to me. You make it look so easy. I'm not giving up, I want to change frustration into joy. Thank you Barbara!
Thank you Carol! Pls don’t give up! You got this! 😃👍🏻❤️
Just discovered your tutorials, your work is absolutely gorgeous, and your instructions are very easy to follow, thank you so much for sharing your ideas and time, thank you form Australia
I absolutely love this journal. When I was watching part 7 I was thinking 'why didn't she just add blue paint to the gesso'. Looks so much lovelier with the blue. You are so creative. I love how you experimented with the stencils and showed us the fails also in them and others through out the journal. Absolutely Gorgeous!!! Thank you for going through this book with us step-by-step. Last night I started tearing apart a book that had signatures actually sewn in and can see why you say to use glued in pages. I will continue with it as a practice run and use (washi) tape f (and glue?) on any pages that might want to come out. ☺♥
Absolutely beautiful.
Your journal is GORGEOUS ❤️ I look forward to continuing to work on mine 👍🏻 thanks, as always, for the inspiration 😊
Thanks Kristina! Have fun finishing yours! 😃❤️
Absolutely scrumptious, beautiful work. I have made 3 altered books so far in the last 2 years, you have just inspired me to make a third for a Christmas present. I love watching your videos Barbara. xx
Thank you Karen! So happy this inspiring you once more! Enjoy! ❤️😃👍🏻
Barbara I just have to tell you I loved this series and I’m on journal number two. I’ve made several kinds of journals but I think this is my fav. Thank you for the inspiration!❤️
Thank you Lori! That’s awesome! 😃👍🏻❤️
I am so sorry this series is over. I have loved watching you produce this beautiful altered book. Your style is fresh and your laugh is lovely. I have learnt a lot. Please start another series soon. PS Can you please refresh my memory regarding the wax paste you used. Thank you Sue
Thank you Sue, so happy you enjoyed it! I will be starting my December Daily series soon 😃. Here is the wax: Prima Marketing Art Alchemy-Metallique Wax-Rich Copper (similar to what I use): amzn.to/2LAeMvC
It’s a beautiful journal! I love the blue accent you added to the cover, it’s perfect.
Thank you Amy! ❤️
Magnificent 💖💟💛💚💙 I am speechless. A really enjoyed watching you. You are so talented. Thank you for sharing this great idea with us. So beautiful ⚘⚘
Thanks so much! ❤️
Great project! Thank you. ❤ I watched it all.
Beautiful journal. Loved watching you do an altered book from start to finish. Enjoyed you trying and discovering new techniques. Stay safe. Xx
Thanks Jennifer! Happy you enjoyed this! ❤️
Thank you so much for this fun project, i loved watching and following you.
My pages are folded into the pockets and inked. I’m a little behind you. I’m excited to began the next steps. Thanks for sharing. 😍
So pretty
Barbara, This is fabulous! I loved going along for the ride and watching the amazing progress. You have so many goodies and your selections are great. I was pleased you put the word at the top of the one tag or journal card, I liked it there best, but I was sure you were going for the bottom. It tickled me you were so pleased with your stencils, they did look beautiful. The ribbon was tough too, but I loved your choice. All so lovely!
Thanks so much Debra! I’m happy you are please with my choices! ☺️ ❤️
Lovely a beautiful journal, love all the collage.x
Beautiful journal !!! I'm not often write comments, but your ribbon on 38.08 with butterflies has a words in Russian ;))) In Russian this phrase "В этот чудесный день" and in English it means like "In this wonderful day" Love all your videos! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for commenting and for translating the words! ☺️❤️👍🏻
I agree with the softer ribbon color. Book is beautiful! 💜
Thank you Rachel! ❤️
Thank you for sharing. I have enjoyed watching.
Absolutely stunning!! Loving your rose stencil.🥀 also I like the way you reason things out. I have enjoyed all 8 episodes. TFS❣
Thanks so much! ❤️
Thank you so much for this series!! Thanks for your experimenting with us! I will definetly re-watch your videos and try to make my altered book😘😘
Thank you! I hope you have as much fun as I did! 😃❤️
I’ve been watching this series all weekend. I’m so inspired!!! Thank you!!!
Hi Barbara, I am so glad you used a different color distress ink. I am trying them myself. Thanks for the altered book journey together. Your creativity. Is so lovely. 😻
Thanks Laurie! Have fun with your new distress colors! 😃❤️
I love your decision-making process! You are meticulous, you never take the easy way out by leaving something you don't quite like. Very admirable! and I've learned so much from you technically. Thank you!
P.S. I watched the whole series. Never lost interest once. (from Vancouver Island, Canada.)
Thanks so much! ❤️ Vancouver Island is one of the greatest places on earth! ❤️❤️❤️
Really beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Very nice! Love the colour of that ribbon!
So beautiful! I can’t wait to start mine!
18:45 let’s try new things - “even with wet baby wipes” 😂 You are just brilliant!!! I love your passion, your energy, and your creativity. You have so many great ideas. And I love that you’re not afraid to show us when you make mistakes and then how you find ways of fixing it. What I really love is that with you, there’s always a way. Always a way to fix things, always a way to hide a mistake, to turn it into something else, etc. And you are not afraid of change and of trying new things. You often say that it can be stressful and overwhelming, I know, and yet.. you still do try new things. And then if you make a mistake or if you don’t like how the new thing you tried turned out, you just improvise - and then we get something absolutely brilliant, just like this improbable idea with the stencil, the baby wipe and the honey-coloured distress stain! Thank you so very much for sharing your passion. Your energy and joie de vivre, your humbleness and your creativity are awe-inspiring. So, again, thank you, for everything!
I really appreciate your kind feedback, Anna! ❤️😬
I love your triangles Barbara..they have helped so much in my Collaging..👌😁💗
Yay, that makes me so happy! ❤️😃
Es uno de los trabajos más bonitos que he visto, Bárbara, vielen Dank...... 💖💖💖💖💖👏👏👏👏👏
Gracias Maribel! ❤️
Dear Barbara, this was a video of an emotional rollercoaster. Just when I yelled "Yayyyy, B. is using another distress ink than vintage photo" you went and covered it with gesso....Noooo, don't do it....Whyyyy? I admit the first outcome was a bit aggressive but you could have used a brush to soften it. So I thought the inner Barbara is resisting to change.....and then....! You used pink with that flower stencil (by the way this was an awesome technique, best discoveries come through accidents) and I said "Yes, hope is not lost". Conclusion: admit it, you are intrigued by change, hahahahahah. Thank you for a wonderful journal journey, I would hoard it too. :-)
Haha thank you Stella and sorry about covering up the Victorian Velvet 🙄. But yes, I’m trying to do more unexpected things! 😃
Such a lovely book❤️❤️
Just beautiful my lovely ❤️
Turned out beautifully, Barbara! I appreciate your lessons on technique and art nouveau. Thankyou very much!
It's never a fail if you learn something from it - whether it's something you can do or can't. :)
I have really enjoyed my last several evenings listening and watching all the efforts that has gone in the inspirational journal to completion. I may at some point have to do a short rerun once before beginning my first junk journal. The process I have watched to do there is nothing junk about your stunning the book.
lol I'm still watching these, all I'm thinking is I want to play in your craft room lol. I love this!!!!
😘😘 love you sweetie. Love your journal. That trick with the stencil is so neat, a happy accicent! 😁😘😁 hugs from us both
Thank you sweetie and hugs back to you both! ❤️🥰
That was beautiful when you try to make watercolor and rose stencil. Everytime when I want to give up something I will remember how Barbara tried the same method for 4 times and result was amazing. Sometime you know something but still you need to see that in a little moment. Thanks!
Thank you for your kind words! I hope you will hear me in your ear next time you are thinking of giving up! ☺️❤️
Just watched your whole series these past two days. Wonderful tutorial. Haven't done a journal in awhile, looking forward now to following along with you as I work. Lucky you, living in Vienna! Thank you so much. Delightful narration 😘
Thanks so much Rita! ❤️
It looks wonderful, I love it
This was an amazing series, now I'm going to try to make one. Thank you.
Thanks! Have fun! 😃❤️
I’m just now in my final stages of finishing my altered book.! It’s taken me awhile, but I’ve loved the process and having you as my guide❣️ thank you Barbara 🎀💐
My pleasure, Linda! I’m happy you enjoyed the process! ☺️❤️
Enjoyed this creation and love how you collage. I would like that talent. ❤️
Thank you Cheryl. I believe it’s practice, not talent ☺️
I love your methods, thank you, xx
So very beautiful! Love the "triangle" process you use. And the gesso is fun, as well. The watercolor 'happy accident'...I call it, is fantastic!! Going to try it soon. Love the ribbon you chose for the closure! (I had hoped that you picked that one) Thank you for the fun! Hugs 🥰 Suzy
Thank you Suzy! I’m happy you enjoyed this! ❤️
Love the colors
Beautiful!!
Thank you for such a delightful finish to this journal. Mine is not done but I will get there! This journal is so sweet!
Thank you Robin! I’m sure yours will be beautiful! 🥰
It turned out so stunning and beautiful! Absolutely loved this series!
Thanks so much! 😃❤️
Hello Austria from Northern Ireland. I have just od'd on the whole series and LOVED them! Thank you for your great journaling ideas.
od'd....?
@@steveelkins52 overdosed!
Barbara, what a beautiful journal. Love those stickers you used and that rose turned out so pretty. And I think you picked the perfect ribbon to close it. Off subject, I just watched a Hallmark movie, Christmas I’m Vienna. Thought of you the whole movie. It was a good movie and loved seeing some of the city. TFS! ❤️
Thank you so much Pam! I never heard of that movie and must check it out, thanks. 😃❤️👍🏻
@@49dragonflies you’re so welcome Barbara. I should read my comment before I hit send. LOL. The movie is Christmas in Vienna. Good movie though. Maybe it’s in Hallmark.com.
Thanks for a great series Barbara. Beautiful journal and very inspiring 😍😍
This journal turned out really beautiful. I loved the ribbon you chose to tie it with. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!
