'Pocket Full of Bits.' Let's start a band and call it that 🤭 (Puts on nerd glasses 🤓): You were correct when you said if not lining up all 4 corners, line up the bottom left LAST. But the reason is just slightly off. That corner isn't looked at last, it's just paid attention to the least. This is because in languages that use the Latin alphabet (like English), writing is read left to right, and top to bottom (a 'Z' pattern). Someone long ago in newspaper design decided that any information that is placed in the top left corner gets the least viewing time from the reader, and is remembered less. The bottom right corner holds the most important information. It's called "visual hierarchy," and is an important design element still used today (also, people who are right-handed "trust" the information on the right of the page more than the left). Thank you for coming to my TED Talk 😃 Also, I still say "Cool!" And I'm *VERY* cool (as evidenced by the novel I wrote above about a subject no one asked about 😂😂). And I refuse to believe I'm old 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

OMG you gave me a good laugh there, but i also found it very interesting and i will remember it as i am an anorak😘 I'll forget your birthday, but i'll remember all sorts of random stuff . I used to have insomnia back in the day when the only tv at night used to be open university lectures. I know, but don't understand alot of suff😅 Thanks Ted☺️🤗💜

Besides that Beautiful pocket, I've learned something very valuable this morning. That trick cutting out the window blew my mind!! 🤯🤯 In all the years I've made things or seen others make any "window" item, I have Never seen them use that trick! Matter of fact, before your video at 4 am, I just hand cut a specimen card window for some honeysuckle I pulled from my tree last night. Thank you for this Amazing, definitely time saving, craft life altering trick! ❤❤❤💐🌟💡👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hello from the US. Loved this video. I had a cat for 15 years named Mucksie (she just died last year). I found her as a small kitten in a mud puddle. She was in a bad way. I couldn't even tell what color she was. She was so mucky and hours from death. Hence, her name Mucksie. When you said that in the UK, "we call it mucky" we do too. We also call chore boots for cleaning barn stalls muck boots or say "mucking the stalls". Just love all the different phrases. You are lovely!

[@momof2641]

Hey there pretty lady, I hope all is well with you and your family and that you guys are having wonderful weather there. I’ve been re-watching some of your older videos, all of my favorites. My all time favorite is a journal that you made out of a gorgeous (to me) blue folder that you buy for your daughter’s schooling. I haven’t come across it yet this morning but the day is young so I’m sure I’ll find it. I absolutely love the folder you used because of the color, I’ve looked on our Amazon here in the US but they’re terribly expensive and you have to buy them in bulk. I’m not about to spend 50 bucks on 50 folder’s when I’d only ever use a couple of them. I made this frame pocket when you first did the video but I used a laminated sheet. I just ran a empty sheet through the laminator so I didn’t need to spend the extra money for acetate. I haven’t tried sewing it though, I’m worried about messing up my sewing machine. You come up with so many amazing ideas for journals, you’re very creative and crafty. Thanks for another great video and as always I’m sending loads of love and prayers your way ❤🙏

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

OMG i just checked the price on those folders, they used to be about $20😶 I love laminators and laminator sheets. not naming names but i was sad to hear another youtuber tell her viewers that laminators weren't worth the trouble 🤨 mine gets used for allsorts and that was a great idea of yours love.☺️🤗💜

[@momof2641]

@@CameliaCraftsDesigns our prices are gone crazy mad high, it ridiculous! I love my laminator, I got a sweet deal on it and have enough sheets to last an entire crafty family a lifetime, my girlfriend retired as a teacher and gave me a huge tote of things that I can use for crafting. Free gifts used for crafting are always nice to get, crafting definitely isn’t a cheap hobby!

[@cat3crazy]

When I first started I purchased an American Craft cutter at an outlet store. Not the best but ok. The only problem is that you can't get blades for it. I tried and ended up getting another cutter, smaller with 1 blade and a score tool. Then I ordered a Memory Keepers fold out cutter / score board. It's too big for my crafting place. I'm not too fond of it either. I have a problem cutting a horizontal straight line with it. It could be my table though. I'm using my kitchen table with a drop leaf. The top isn't perfectly flat because of the drop leaf. Anyway l ignored my own rule, "buy the best you can afford". I went cheap because I wasn't sure that I was going to like journal making and didn't want it invest a lot of money in it. I've done several other crafts and I usually go nuts and purchase more than I need. All this is to say, I'm going to get a Fiskars cutter. That will make it the 4th cutter I've purchased. I should have just purchased it in the beginning. I could never cut out a square with the cutters I currently have.😢

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Don't feel bad, I've always been the same until recently and I still sometimes do it now. In fact my first trimmer of this type was a cheaper one and the blade kept cutting into the plastic instead of staying in the groove if you get me. Also as a bit of a part time conspiracy theorist, I don't think even the best companies want to give us the perfect tools or they wouldn't be able to sell them again when they're redesigned. I think they always hold back. I love junk journalling as I get to use all the stuff I've bought for other crafts and boarded☺️🤗💜
