I love it when you said. How can I lose it. I do altered books on a cluttered desk and I lose everything. I love your methods

Part 8 came up in my YouTube list.... and I had started watching it. Then my light bulb brightened I have my days....hahahahaha) I thought that I should really go back to number one and follow the parts through!!! So here I am .... watched Part 1!!! So now to Part 2!!! I have always had it in my mind to do an altered book.... but there has always been other projects that took my interest first!!! So I am going to watch your series and then I will pull together the bits and pieces I want to make one. Thank you Kylie.... you are certainly giving me heaps of inspiration of recent weeks!!! First the little journals out of paper then the journals from 12x12 and ALTERED BOOKS!!! And it will certainly help me use up my stash!!! Love....love...love!!!

It's been a great video Kylie. I'm from North Somerset in the UK. I've been working alongside you. I felt your frustration losing your quick unpick. Boy it made me laugh with you. Your video was like stitching with a friend, having a laugh. I look forward to carrying on with my journal, with your help? Best wishes Sarah 😊

Happy New Year Ms Kylie! I just this morning found your call this a blessing for me. I just finished scanning through your video's (I didn't finish yet) and You have a LOT of Wonderful, Beautiful and Creative ideas. I have Subscribed and to receive ALL in the future. I look forward to learning from you this year Ma'am. Thank you, Pamela

I wish I’d seen this video years ago. Your advice about spending and needing every tool and item that you see is so sound. I have spent way too much and created way too little.

I was a consultantant for an Aussie scrapbooking company here and have now acquired so much of over time that I have to justify, do I need this 😂😂😂 or do I want it.. so you are so correct, you can start out with minimum supplies when junk journaling. I do this craft for the fun of it . And yes the hunt is grand. I love the op shops. We also have a community centre that gives away books.with the option of donating a gold coin or more if you can. This has been great watching. We learn something new each day. Happy paper crafting. 💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏

glad I stumbled on your channel. I stay confused as I watch the overwhelming amount of tutorials. N after trying a bit, I find myself throwing away more than I’m enjoying it. However I’m excited now, everything ur saying is making sense to me. I’m new of course n this new world is fascinating to me. I used to love to draw n over years of doing kid’s raising n careers I stopped all my art expressions. Finding my love again, n I find this a very good way to start my journaling n rekindle my love for my art. Thank you so much for doing this series.

[elizabethk]

Thank you for your ramblings... They were very helpful and inspiring!!! I love crearing journals from scratch. Altering books has been an issue for me. Probably over thinking it. I just needed the matter of fact way. Readers digest books are wonderful to work with! Thank you!🌸💜

[paulafowler]

I'm excited to do this with you!! I make journals but have always wanted to do an altered book. I love your thought process, and I agree with you on supplies!! I am going to start on my book & then move on to lesson 2. Thank you for this series!! I am a new subbie.

[erinhawkins]

Thank you so much for this very detailed and helpful video. It was exactly what I was looking for and you really took the time to explain everything clearly for beginners. Following now. Sending ❤️ from Ontario, Canada.
