Hi everyone! In this video I will answer your questions about how I bound and put together my July junk journal. I will be back with another video to share the finished journals. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!

9/28/24: These are absolutely incredible, but for me, I'd prefer not to go the messy route look that you referred to, but neater (call me old-fashioned) with all threads cut and tapered edges. As for the tissue paper, good gosh, that's SO cool, never seen anything like it, so I'm gonna give it a try with putting lace and fabric in between and go from there, but I'm sure they'll have to be handled carefully so as not to rip, Ugh! You've definitely planted the seed in my head and that's good enough for me. Thank you for sharing your talent with these very unique and creative pieces of art. I LOVE it! 😉

OMGOOODNESS....so happy to find ur channel. I literally have hundreds of patterns from buying out pattern cabinets from Joann's going out of business Store in Philly. Cabinets were not cleaned out AND we returned at night. They had dumped the contents of whatever cabinets were left into the dumpster. Fortunately we took our truck and literally loaded the back of the pickup with ALL the patterns. I knew I would be able to use them in my art eventually. Don't make clothes anymore....cheaper to buy than make. Have shared many and now I have more ideas running through my head, Wonderful ideas, Also watch Lizzi Brewer Scrappinlizzi, she folded pages and make them into journal too. Thank you for ur creativity. Gorgeous

These are just adorable and unique. You did a great job on these. I'm in my 50's and I've never crafted before, but all you young women have inspired me and I now have become a crafter, just for fun. So, thank you so much for sharing your talent and my God bless you greatly :)

What a clever and beautiful way to use old McCalls, Simplicity, and Butterick patterns. I’ll have to see if I still have any of my old ones! I really love the butterfly journal. ❤️

These are gorgeous Suzy!! I have used sewing tissue for covers before but never tried putting printed tissue or fabric in-between the layers. What a great idea!! Thanks for sharing your technique & beautiful art my friend!!💜💜💜
