Finally, a video on preparing a book for art journaling that doesn't require an hour of my time. Precise and helpful--and lovely. Thank you.
I haven’t begun doing this yet…but you have inspired me to give it a go…I love to “play” with it all..I am almost 80 and have just got into card making with dies, stencils, etc…enjoy it so much..thanks
Love this! Thanks for showing how you make your art journal out of a book.
I love the gentle way you work. It always leads me off on a tangent, trying new ways and stepping out of my comfort zone. Thank you.👍♥️
Thank you so much 🦋
Wow! I have some old books I can do this with. Thanks for this idea ❤
❤
That is helpful: tear two, leave three, and glue together. I will try that next time. 🙂
Love this video, I needed it to repurpose old books instead buying brand new journals. Thanks
Thank you, I just overbought books! I can smell these old ones from here! Brilliant idea 💡 thanks for your opinions
Such an inspiration to try making an art journal. After 8 months of being a journal maker, it’s time to venture into a new area. You are such a great teacher with a gentle voice and spirit. Blessings from Betty in Ohio.
I love the idea of picking words from a page and seeing what you can make out of them. Like many others have said, your videos are so inspiring!
Thank you for sharing. You make me want to run to my art room and get started, the sign of a great teacher!
Awww thank you for your lovely comment 💖
I am inspired! I really like your method of tearing out every other page and gluing the three together. I have a book just waiting to be altered ! I’m going to try your method.... thanks for sharing this.❤️
I’m so inspired and I love how easy you make it look to create your art journal. The texture snd simple color are gorgeous!
This looks like so much fun. I’m feeling like I need to make one.
💖
Gorgeous pages. I love making altered books. I'm on about my 5th one. For some reason it's so freeing compared to a blank journal.
💖
I’ve never made an art journal and the tips you gave are helpful. I make lots of journals & this will hopefully help me also to step out my comfort zone and have fun. Love your first page. Thanks for sharing 🥳💗
Thank you . I bought a old book, but didn’t know how to begin….now I do…. I’m going to have a go. Linda … Uk.
Thank you for all the tips!! Absolutely love that first page too!
I love how the script stencil reminds me of waves on this page.
A beautiful first page in a great new journal. Thank you for showing the two ways you can glue pages of a book together!
Thanks for sharing your process for creating the book. The first page is fabulous. The way the ink runs into the stencil is awesome.
This is gorgeous!!!❤❤❤
Just found this! Its beautiful! Thanks so much 🤗🌿🦋

New sub! Loved the quick demo on prepping a book for journaling… also helpful on the reasons you selected books. I always wondered how to effectively do this without making the book look a big mess! So I am ready! Thank you!!
Thank you for this video. I'm using a vintage copy of "War of the Worlds" to make a file for my fussy cuts and die cuts. This video will help!

Yes, yes, yes : very inspiring!
I've never done this and it looks like so much fun. thankyou
What a great idea! I love how this turned out and am inspired to try doing a project like this🥰
It looks really nice.
Really stunning. I have not tried art journaling but your videos are so inspiring makes me want to try. Ubuntu we are safe in our little town of Hoedspruit I’m sure you must be shocked to see what went on in South Africa over the last few days. Our old home town was Amanzimtoti which was hit hard. They are still battling to get supplies. So sad 😞
Happy to hear you are going to give art journaling a go 💖 I have seen the awful situation back home, my heart breaks for all South Africans affected. I have many friends and family there, so it does it hard. I am sending love and light xx
@@ShanoukiArt 🌺❤️
Love the end result! You have inspired me yet again, I now want to go play in my own altered book! Thank you!
Happy creating 💖
Wonderful tutorial! Thanks
I have never made an art journal, but the art journal is next on the list for the craft group that I am in. Thank you so much for sharing this information. 🤗
Great tutorial. I just found some old books and didn't have a clue how to transform them into a journal. I want to share a fantastic glue I've found for thin papers, or any paper, really. - Elmers No-Wrinkle dual tip glue pen.The thin and wide tips work well for a variety of projects, and it's 'washable', so I can remove what sneaks out past the edges. Depending on the circumstance, I use a brayer, instead of a bone folder, to smooth out whatever I've glued. It's gentle enough for delicate paper. Thank you so much for your vlogs. I just found your channel and am binge watching 😳
Thank you so much for the the glue tip 😊
Absolutely beautiful 💙🦋💙 love the stencil effect! Gorgeous colour used for the paint too. Thank you for sharing this with us. Hugs from South Africa 🤗
Thank you so much 😊
lovely idea, will have to make one, thanks for posting :)
Love this so much. I'm about to start my Art Journal 🥰
Shana this is exactly what I needed to see today! I just got some old encyclopedias that are minis & wanted to start an art journal (which I haven’t done successfully yet 🙄 ).
Thank you for sharing 🥰👍, will definitely try this 🥳 beautiful work ❤️😊🙏
I love this tutorial. Your pages came out beautiful and I was able to follow the steps pretty easily. My first one is full of mistakes, but I am in love with it. I'm excited to begin journalling. My main issue has been page bubbling. I appreciate you sharing your process with us!
Fabulous tutorial. I look forward to seeing future creations in this journal. Thank you so much for the inspiration!!
💖
Delightful and inspiring. Thank you. I will be off to our thrift store for some old books today.
Fabulous Idea shall be trying this today Thankyou Hugs
Thanks, very informative
WOW Thank you. Wondering how to start.
You.....are....good!!!
Thanks so much for sharing how you prepare an old book. Nowadays i make my own journals, but i have a planner with a spine where i make some art journaling and i think it needs some arrangements. I love the fist page! 💙

Love watching your videos. So inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to share.
