Altered Composition Journal! | Part 1

[@cat9117]

Hi there MayMay. I’ve been watching u 4 a while now and subscribed as well cuz I 🥰d what I saw from the beginning . I appreciate ur way of teaching, coming from a teacher. But most of all, I appreciate ur mindfulness of waste in ur videos. LOVE IT AND THK U!🤗

[@elisebb8423]

I enjoy making these. I usually make 3 at a time, stamping Maymay inspiration stamps (and some floral stamps) on about every third page inside the books.. Many ladies seem to really enjoy receiving these as gifts.

[@HandcraftedintheFoothills]

Great idea!

[@dorothyp1473]

I really like this! Such a great idea! Beautiful!

[@Runner1969]

Watching this was therapy for me 🥰 Thank you!

[@erindonald4795]

Beautiful! I know this is an older video but I love how you just get down to business! Love it ❤

[@Wannabecrafting247]

Guess I’m a simpleton, but I really liked the front with just the stripe. So beautiful and great, helpful ideas!

[@r.c.miller6161]

Composition books are fun and easy. Such a pretty paper pad. Love it all but the blue ribbon on the front.

[@marilynaustin4425]

Very detailed. Loved your choice of paper. Marilyn from Pensacola.

[@wendywilson1736]

This album is so Pretty!! I just want to thank you for saving the small pieces of the double stick adhesives. So many demonstrators will wad up the wide waste strips after applying to their designer paper, and it just drives me nuts!! I will nearly give butt another piece up to it, and add more adhesive to that second piece later. That adhesive is not cheap, and It makes me cringe to waste it. It's the kind of thing I will find a way to use up every bit, except the round corners we need to trim off.

[@eileennielsen5165]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@bertaavila-george2487]

Love the patterns u chosen, 🙂 nice

[@ElsaInCa]

You chose my favorite subject to do - I think comp books are the most fun of all! Of course I love watching you work - I always learn something! 😊❤️

[@ameliaapetersen2198]

I love the way you layered the front without to much fuss, mixing patterns and shapes are great ideas as well...

[@BenitaMCWCaruthers]

I really love decorating these notebooks. In the past I have also used Fabric to cover book and then mix media to embellish the cover and such. I make sure I have pne with me always because inspiration can hit anythime. Thank You

[@samanthaallen7556]

I did the same with a clear plastic photo album. Covered It I xmas fabric and xmas embellishments.

[@debbiereynolds5317]

This is gorgeous!!!

[@ultraviolet13881]

Love watching your videos, especially because you explain everything so thoroughly and your ideas always turn out really beautifully. Thank you for sharing!

[@lisebedard7247]

Love that punch.....where to purchase it ?

[@elainefiveland1462]

So sweet. How fun is it to use a fancy notebook...makes taking notes more pleasant. I need to try this.

[@maiingan07]

You are now the first craft person I have ever subscribed to. I wanted to learn how to make a cover for a composition book for a Christmas present, and it’s how I found you. I absolutely love your presentation and personality. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that you caught me with your story of your Dad, because it is something my Dad would’ve said too. I look forward to your future videos. Be well and stay smiling 🎈

[@coralrose6506]

I loved this idea so much

[@anna-laurahocker5570]

I so enjoy your projects, May May!

[@DoloresJRush]

Pretty! I'm working on a positivity journal and wanted to see what other people did with their composition notebooks. I love that paper pack - so pretty!

[@debblws1961]

Love this craft...I do this with my composition books too. I used them for Bible Study notes, sermon lesson notes, prayer requests, etc. I also put decoupage on it to seal it in and help it from wear and tear. Love that you used the “old” pokey tool. Even though I have the new one, I reach for that one too.

[@terrikimberling4876]

You are amazing! I love your passion, your style and your simplicity. Very inspiring! ❤️

[@chaselip]

This is so pretty and does not look to hard to do either💛💚💙💗

[@missyb.623]

I always enjoy your covered composition books. Also, I am confident I had a dress in the late 70s early 80s with the colors and prints you used on the front cover. It was a bohemian style dress with wooden buttons. I thought it was amazing in it's polyester glory!

[@elund323]

Love this!!! Thank you!!!

[@rosehavenfarm2969]

The use of double sided adhesive sheets is brilliant. Using that idea, thank you.

[@lindafrantz4913]

This is such a cute idea! I love your papers.

[@pjmccarthy179]

Thank you Maymay for sharing such a cute idea.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Gorgeous paper pack.

[@johaynes6464]

I love your paper choices

[@nancyrolfe3033]

Love that paper! Thank you for teaching. I just "found" KZbin. I'm 60 and illness forced me to retire from teaching.. Blessings galore thru your videos and I am buying items to begin new adventure in papercrafts. I've painted wood, shirts, in oils and watercolors but SO EXCITED about all I've learned from watching your videos. I watch on TV and had to get on my phone to subscribe...lol

[@cynthiaross1]

[@arnelakawhitewash]

Fantabulous MayMay!. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas.

[@kandrews6356]

Very pretty! I love the recipe book you made out of a composition book a while back as well. Great tips on the measuring, etc. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a Blessed day and rest of the week.

[@Papiercutz]

I love making these. I've done a bunch a few years ago,I used colored elastic head bands around them to keep them closed, a duck tape in the different colors and patterns (sold at my local craft store) on the spine to cover the paper edges.

[@nevagarren2624]

Beautiful paper!

[@bethrob926]

Love this for “sermon” notes!

[@maraca5797]

So pretty! Im starting to dabble in journals, so glad to see your process. Very pretty paper! Thank you.

[@LilCraftyNook]

Oh wow!! I didn’t see this til now! SO pretty!! I made some for my two youngest granddaughters’ birthdays !! (I showcased them on a video last month) I didn’t cover the spine either. I used Tombow glue. Love the spring-y paper! Thank you for that great story about you and your dad!! They are so full of wisdom!!😊❤️

[@melaniecrochets]

I found a link to your playlist 😊 my phone wasn’t showing me from your KZbin homepage when I selected playlists. It may just be me. 😊

[@colleencornett342]

Adorable! I journal in composition notebooks and that is such a cute design! Love it!😁

[@TheCreativeChica]

Very Very Cute! May May!👍❣

[@tinageorge8759]

I’m watching this and remembering how much fun I had making my recipe cookbook that I made with you and how very much I love how it turned out. My son has already claimed it for himself! Thank you Maymay! 💚

[@beverlyatkins1623]

Love this idea!

[@DonnaJo3452]

This is absolutely precious, Maymay!

[@susanfranklin8550]

I love it!

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

I love making these. you have given me some more ideas. I have to find that sticky paper. I have redline tape that is 6 inches wide, I have three rolls I must use first. Thank you for sharing.

[@marshahouseholder3213]

So beautiful thank you.

[@verblu8507]

This brought back memories of when I did a mission trip and this is the craft I did with with the participants. Great Maymay! Thanks for the tutorial! God bless!!!

[@peggykempf7555]

Love the composition book!!! I have done a few for my granddaughters but, never like this one!!! Going to do some more now!!! Thanks for sharing, hugs💗👵

[@cathyfield4765]

A part of writers workshop in my grade 2 class class was creating personalized writer's notebooks out of composition books. Kids were so proud to take ownership and create covers with what inspired their thinking and writing.

[@lynnwharton6155]

LOL I worked as a service cashier back in the early to mid 70's. You are totally right. It was a very hard job. It was my first "real job" after graduation. I lasted 3 or 4 years.

[@ruthranieri9268]

These are the kinds of projects I like, useful.

[@6242shelby]

I like both but the butterfly is my favorite because I love butterflies 🦋

[@vickiepaver201]

I love your youtube videos

[@julielutz8569]

That is fun. I'm thinking about makin' one

[@ConnieBarnum]

Thanks for the inspiration.

[@Jea9nalepa]

I just made 6 mini composition books this afternoon. Thank you for the inspiration!!

[@michellechristopher6468]

This is cute TFS 😊

[@marlisswaldron5324]

What punch did you use? I can see all kinds of uses for the scallops in my scrapbook pages. Thanks for all your ideas.

[@laurieudall4159]

I would llike to know what punch this is as well

[@barbaraharrold5361]

Seeing this you have given me a great idea with this book. We have 2 teacher who are retiring and this would be a great “ retirement journal” how cute would that be??? So many cute things to add the book:) thank you for the cute idea:)

[@cherylbrackett265]

This came out so pretty. Such a great idea!

[@ronyalemerrill]

She has to be from Georgia! I just die every time she says,” So cute!” Hahahah sounds just like me 😂😂😂😂 loved the video!! I definitely will be trying the ribbon and bow additions tomorrow! Great idea!

[@lacreshaflowers5421]

So cute, fun and pretty!! We are state buddies!! How cool is that?! I have passed by your city numerous times over the years. I am working on a Junk/Art Journal made from a composition notebook. I got the idea from You Tuber Liz Drake - "Sugar", shout out to her. You MayMay have given me an idea for a cover. I was wondering what to do for a cover and your idea is cute!! I just have to decide how I want to put mine together. Thanks for sharing this with us!!

[@tezntweet]

So pretty. Tfs ❤ Rhonda

[@PEPSIKERR]

So pretty.

[@carmencarrillo2157]

Just love all your ideas I made a few of my own but not as pretty as yours 😊

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

I started doing this when I watched another KZbin channel, not as detailed but I like it. Beautiful colors on your altered notebook

[@cschult]

Maymay, if you use a Bic lighter to melt the ribbon ends, that will stop any raveling. Just wave it ever so lightly under the ribbon end and it will melt it and not burn it. FYI

[@SFergu-qw6lh]

I want to do this to make a budget planner

[@blossomandinspire]

I love this and can’t wait to see how you finish it ♥️
