[@CoastalCards]

There is NO such thing is a video that's "too long" from you Vicky. THANK YOU for sharing your skills, building our confidence, and inspiring us! You ARE an inspiration!

[@cassiescreations9828]

I agree 100% with you!

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Definitely agree- it is not possible for a video to be too long when it is from Vicky!

[@jo-annepikebrintrup1500]

DITTO!!!!!

[@fancifulfuncrafts9412]

Your comment is spot on!

[@ebeserra]

I agree! I'd watch Vicky's videos if they were 2 hrs long!!! lol.

[@beverlybarnhardt1139]

“Vicky’s video was too long” SAID NO ONE EVER!! I’m mesmerized with your talent and how effortless you make it - gives the rest of us hope! What great journal pages today! I’m always impressed with your ability to draw your own focal elements; I can’t draw a stick figure. Thankfully I have dies and a Cricut Maker. Thank you for spending time with us!

[@annwoods5668]

Please continue your art journal 101 series. It gives me inspiration to try something new. Your work is absolutely amazing.

[@ninacox6865]

Adorable pages. Do some more beginner type pages. They maybe simple and easy for you but really encourage us beginners. Thanks

[@donnadegale-kalloo5926]

Wow! This was inspiring because I own only 3 dies in my stash for now and I know I can draw out the items but watching so many videos with dies and stamps it tends to leave you in a rut and I know it is your job to advertise but thank you for this! A little inspiration goes a long way especially with so many negative things happening.

[@cindypeterson1629]

It’s 4:00 in the i’m looking up my phone wondering what can I watch on KZbin at this time in the morning and guess what up Pops Vicky!! YES!!!

[@leannemitchem8865]

I absolutely loved this video. I so enjoyed watching your technique. I am learning a lot from you. Thank you for showing that it is ok to just have fun and enjoy the process. What I love about your art journal pages is that they are not layers and layers and layers of stuff. I love the simplicity of your pages. More pleasing to the eye in my opinion. And always so bright and happy.

[@odrade99]

So inspiring. We forget the simple ways to get focal points. Very useful. Thanks.

[@katzinoma]

Now I’m going to make one page with jellyfish of my own making 😃 Thank you for reminding me to draw more.

[@kathysmith1353]

Hi Vicky I like the one that has the litter fishes on it and the 2 are cute to and have a good day.

[@ireneirene62]

Thank you again! Tuesday is Vicki day in my house now and I get to play! Please keep the inspiration coming as you are the best and make me feel that I don't need to spend a fortune to make fun things!

[@jo-annepikebrintrup1500]

I love Tuesdays with Vicky!!!! Love all these pages and I will recreate them for myself!!! Thank you, V!!! xoxox

[@carolynpicken6949]

I love Tuesdays with Vicky...thank you

[@angiem6789]

I could watch you create all day long! Snowy day here so perfect time to play and create. Thanks for the inspiration and for reminding us to embrace imperfection when we create. Stay well!

[@julieharris1830]

[@RoseMaryBowen]

Watching you create your art journal pages is an amazing experience. Love the finished pages. Your videos are never too long!!! lol Take care.

[@jeanwestackroyd2966]

Love these pages Vicky ! Vibrant colours and so well put together. Guaranteed to cheer everyone up on days like this, so pleasing. Thanks for sharing.

[@patstone7950]

It amazes me how some of the simplest things you do brings everything to life and pulls it all together.

[@karinboschaart276]

your video's are never to long. can watch and listen to you all day. thanks for great inspiration. Hope the book gets more pages..

[@johnarosser6400]

I just love how effortlessly you can do these! The "random" backgrounds make so much sense when you add your focal points on top. Thank you for this series!

[@mycraftynook5266]

Wow, Vicky if I didn’t know better I would swear you were a cartoonist at heart. I just love your little fishes. All the pages turn out lovely. You are so talented. Thanks again for sharing another wonderfully inspiring and imaginative video. xo

[@SharonVandegrift]

Bravo!! All those extra little touches you add, really bring the images to life. I could watch you create all day.

[@karmaleenash2841]

Such lovely creations! Thanks for sharing! 🤍👀🤍

[@ajarofpotential]

Your doodles are adorable. Love the cactus crosses 💕🤗

[@cassiescreations9828]

Those fish are so cute and fun - I've got to try drawing similar ones myself! I love the cacti and mushrooms too - the entire journal is amazing! What is it about mushrooms that make us smile? So inspiring, Vicky!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@Keela5]

Stunning! I want to binge-watch everything you've posted! :)

[@laurie3881]

You should do it! I binge watch her videos, some of them two or three times. Very inspiring and relaxing.

[@jeanettereynolds3151]

Me too uk​@@laurie3881

[@liettelafontaine7936]

your pages are adorable!!!! Love watching your videos!! Never too long!!

[@sibylleherbe8260]

You never disappoint or cease to amaze me. I swear my mouth is open as I watch you turn a white imperfect shape into something beautiful. Thank you for your inspiration.

[@ginnyosborne3304]

Sweet pages and so cheerful in this world of darkness

[@suebouch4074]

Hi, Vicky! I love this small cute journal with your unique focal points! It’s always such a joy to spend time with you. You’re a wonderful inspiration for me to get creative. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us. Have a great day and stay safe! 🙂

[@awenbunny]

I love watching you create with your pencil and bring it to life. I’m sure you should have your own line of stamps and stencils !

[@kathysmith2015]

Thank you for showing us your work! It is such fun to see how you create your own focal points with simple shapes, and they work beautifully! Inspires me to give it a try.

[@debbiespiller8528]

Wonderful video Vicky! I love the way you get straight to the point without too much detail .... a perfect mix of inspiration and instruction. Thank you!

[@karenhartman4972]

5:30a here! And yes Vicky has posted a video! Super fun way to get inspired for the day! Thank you!!!

[@candystamping4552]

[@marlanebraun5635]

my favorite would be the cactus.

[@wlw891]

Love all of your Art Journal pages and canvas. Please show us more steampunk.

[@maryjackson9816]

You are absolutely awsome. I love your creations and process. Your videos could be longer, I'd watch. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@annelizevangraan7776]

Beautiful as always, hope this is not the end of the journal. Thank you for the inspiration! Just a note: YOUR videos can never be too long. Please share more like this!

[@christinabodah1711]

I just love watching your videos they inspire me to make my own journals.

[@ChrisSmith1356]

I loved that it didn’t use dies and stamps. Sometimes we need to remember that we don’t have to spend a fortune to be creative. Thanks!

[@scottcain9544]

The art journal series is by far my favorite! I get so many inspirational moments from these.

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Thank you Vicky! I LOVE these pages. And I so appreciate you sharing simple to make focal images, because I cannot draw at all! But you made me feel like I can do this! Thank you. I would love you make this a series- a few small pages at a time using different medium each time. I definitely need to work on using the supples I have & I always appreciate & enjoy the inspiration you share. 🙂

[@ankeschultz3404]

Super!!! I like to see jour videos. Greetings from the harbour town Hamburg in the North of Germany🇩🇪🙋‍♀️

[@princess20-sideddie95]

I love these kinds of tutorials that don't use a lot of products, as I'm a crafter with a limited budget. It's great to see new products being used on channels so we know how they work and which we might like to buy, but then a lot of channels forget to also add in some tutorials like this. I like having a good mix of new product examples as well as videos using very basic supplies. Hope you continue to make some like this!

[@mitzibud6908]

Lovely!! Your videos are never too long!!

[@charoortega2969]

You're an artist!!!! Hugs from Spain!

[@ThorneyRose]

The cactus one is so me... I’m often a cactus in a world of delicate flowers! Always manage to upset (poke) somebody!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@karenevans6176]

Beautiful pages . I am so glad you asked if we would like to see more. Thank you for sharing.

[@Campbelltwinsx2]

I really like the pages. My favorite is the fish.

[@alla4637]

Fishes are stunning!!!

[@sarahelizabeth6342]

You always make it look so easy!!! Gorgeous... could never pick a favorite.

[@baboo7192]

These were so cool Vicky! Loved your drawings of the cactus and the fish! Great pages!!!❤️🥰😻

[@ninastefane2235]

Everything you make is just stunning!

[@julies.6271]

Great video! I can’t draw a straight line so this was great. I think I could do this!

[@PetravanLaarhoven1968]

There is no such thing as a too long video 🤣😂 Love it. Thank you! Love from the Netherlands Petra

[@lisadelong1455]

These three art journal pages turned out fabulous. I love your own focal points, they’re so whimsical. You are so wonderful at doing these pages. I just love your ideas and creativity. I think I would just stare at a blank page forever and still not be able to come up with any ideas.

[@yvethemetriccrafter688]

What a lovely set of pages, it's great yo see you create your own focal points, I love the 🍄 best, but they are all gorgeous.

[@ohthankg-dforthebourgeoisi9800]

One thing I’m learning from you: what ever your style, stay consistent. 😊

[@estellesmith6418]

Stunning as usual.

[@kathleengill1273]

I love all three of these pages! The mushrooms followed by the cactus are my two favorites!

[@mariaantoniou7090]

One more cuter than the other.... 🐈❤️

[@brooksdogdays]

I just think these little journals are fun and would make gifts! You truly have a wonderful talent and I am always excited when you post another video! 💖

[@PippyKatStamper]

LOVE all three pages, Vicky!!! Those little fish are soooooo sweet!!! Mushrooms are always a favorite and the Cactus is absolutely perfect. Difficult to choose a favorite as they are ALL my favorites!! Really love how you give double duty to a single item - such as creating the tails of a fish by using a heart die - brilliant!! Thank you so much for your fabulous ideas, techniques and inspiration!!

[@myrasummitt5015]

I absolutely loved this process. I hope you do more in the future.❤️

[@ninagreen9016]

Hahahaha what a cutie that fish and his pals. My favorite of the 3. So glad for your videos. ❤️

[@loispaulo704]

so fabulous Vicky, loved everything, I made them along with you and it was so fun. Now I have 6 more to make hoping I can be creative on my own. thank you for your inspiration

[@lwhitaker4054]

Saved your video until later in my day....have watched you for years... your videos always leave me inspired...and smiling.

[@kathrynrudolph5121]

Love these!!! How creative! Inspires me to use what's in my stash...and if I don't have a certain die, to create my own! Awesome!

[@priscillasissem980]

So cute Vicky. I learned a lot of techniques from these two videos. Thank you!

[@jessj7208]

Love your art and how you tie elements together on the same page.

[@LadyintheGarden1]

Thanks Vicky, This is was great!!

[@susanjohnson-mcphan8357]

You’re videos are NEVER too long love these pages thanks for sharing them ❤️

[@ebeserra]

Thank you Vicky for continuing into completion of the little art journal! I noticed that most of us when working with whimsical mushrooms often make them red.... but aren't red mushrooms the poisonous kind?... I love the cute red ones with white dots but I can't help to think, I hope you washed your hand after handling them...lol!!!! Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring me every week. :))))

[@lionunderthestars7019]

This is the first time I have seen anyone use die cuts in an art journal. Wonderful idea. Have watched a few of your videos now. New subscriber. Nancy

[@kykategray]

You are a creative genius! I am so happy you finished your three pages, they are absolutely adorable. I love the cheerful, happy pages. They really make me smile. Hugs from KY.

[@brendamckinley4754]

I agree with the person below me. Your videos could NEVER be too long!! Love them all!

[@Bunefoo401]

Absolutely adorable ... always love your work ... please continue to share ❤️❤️

[@luannrice8450]

You are a master at making journal pages. Your cards are O.K. but your journals are works of art. Thanks for sharing.

[@anniejohnson5494]

So so cute. Thanks for sharing all your tips and tricks.

[@debblws1961]

I love these 2 videos. This video is not too long. I could watch you for hours. Thank you.

[@19queenbee55]

I don’t think your videos are ever too long! Love your art journaling!

[@lolybiol]

Thank you so much for doing this series Vicky! I always admire your art journal pages, and now that you are breaking down the process, I want to try my hand at it. TFS!

[@tiffanyg3355]

I am so happy that you finished all of your pages for us! You are an inspiration to me, and you also help me to know that I can use a few supplies to make beautiful art, so I don't have to buy the store! Your pages are beautiful, vibrant, and interesting to look at. I like that you made your own focal points. Thank you again!

[@dbdesigning]

So much fun and very inspiring as you always are, Vicky!

[@loisskiathitis8926]

Wow! Your pages today are absolutely fabulous! I learned today that, just as in card making, that the focal point is important. Thank you, Vicky! ❤️

[@raleysmombaker9593]

Love the little fish and it's background colors. Normally I'm not a cactus person but this one is super cute. Remember the first Art by Marlene dies you showed us that made the little journal with the flap? I was so disappointed that it sold out so fast just like you said it would and I missed out. Well they put it back in stock and I snapped it right up. I can hardly wait until it gets here. Yay! I'm so happy. Always remember, there are no long videos just a few happy minutes spent watching fun inspirational videos. I really enjoyed the 101's. Thank you Vicky.

[@sandyweirauch8310]

Thanks so much for this series. I’m really enjoying it and will try them out! 😁

[@handmadebysteffi3475]

Wow, sooo beautiful 🥰🥰 this would be nice cards too

[@tiffzilla7834]

Vicky, you are seriously the best crafter on YT! I’m always so amazed at how effortless you make your art seem 💕💕

[@brendacollinsdeeks7268]

I am amazed at your ability to create the simple focal points that work so well!!

[@Ashley.Loving]

These are just so cute! I love that you drew all the focal pieces yourself! My favorite is the mushrooms! Thank you for always sharing all your creativity with us!

[@marlenkal9876]

Είναι υπέροχα, Βίκυ μου!!! Θέλουμε κι άλλα!!!

[@clintinesteele8030]

I have always needed to use stamps in place of any hand drawing. I really appreciate how you simplified the process to create a personal focal point. It will be so much more rewarding from now on! I hope to see even more like this, even though I have been stamping for over 20 years, we can always use more tips to create art based on another's style or technique. Thank you!
