What a lovely crafty way to make a journal. I enjoy watching your videos because you like to add dimension. So wonderful

Hi Michele, it’s Tim Holtz, known to some of us as “Timmy”. Love your work. Just received my dried flowers. Will be trying your technique thx so much

[@sallydhondt3974]

I'm no surgeon either Michelle, nor am I patient! 😀 One of the many reasons I love your videos, I love your quick and loose style! So much fun watching and crafting with you!

[@thecreativecove6898]

❤these are gorgeous and such a great tip using the tabs to join the signatures .Thankyou !

[@sandyfitchcorbett1782]

I agree! Very cute. One is going to end up in the console in my car. Wont take up much room. Always needing to make a note or a reminder in my car. I’m a note person on paper not in my cell phone. Cool little notebook.

The ferns and pressed flowers are so charming!

[@JournalArtPaperie]

What sweet little journals 🤎 I have been considering purchasing a new flower press so that I can get back to doing some flower pressing myself. I often find pressed flowers in my Bible from when my kids were young - found lavender the other day hidden in Psalms. Thanks for sharing your lovely creations with us 🤎

[@thecreativecove6898]

You can make a flower press with scraps. I have made many. There is a video on how to make an accordion style flower press on ink the book smiths channel. Or you can buy one. Lol I have about 6 flower presses. I think I’m a little obsessed. Happy creating😊

[@suebrown7882]

Great little gift books. If I have spare space in the laminate pocket I add pressed flowers and cut circles with them in to make 'specimen' tags with later to save wasting off-cuts. I tried doing the watercolour flower squares yesterday after watching Part 2 and they actually came out quite well! Thanks for teaching me a new technique x

[@thecreativecove6898]

That’s awesome. So happy you gave them a try. It’s such a fun lose technique and the results are always fun. I have to try make some specimen cards. 😊

[@tinaknoell2401]

Those little ephemera bits are by Tim Holtz.

[@thecreativecove6898]

That’s the one. I love all of his stuff. Especially the little mini tags.

[@opalm21]

I searched for this brand of self-adhesive laminating sheet only to find, they are sold by Dollarama which we do not have in the US so I am on the hunt for something similar in the US.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Interesting. Almost all the products we have in our dollar stores are from the US or China. I hope you can find some.

[@opalm21]

@@thecreativecove6898 oh yes, all our products in our dollar stores are imported as well.
