CAN YOU FILL A JOURNAL WITHOUT SPENDING MONEY?

[@donnaostrin545]

Inspired! Trying to do the same in 2024…use what I have.

[@marinakitto6567]

What a great collaboration, and such fun to have papers from friends. Lovely journal.

[@milosckasia]

What a cool idea. You are so lucky to have friends to do this with.

[@farmaciaamora]

You are really great! 💖

Thank you Ali!!!!❤

[@bonniemiller3587]

I have also become a wee bit overwhelmed with my collection of mostly paper and books to be destroyed! Will follow your good example. All the very best to you and yours for 2024!

[@joann1567]

Love the way you tied all the elements together - thank you for sharing. Love your Keurig.

[@barbarafranco3036]

Happy New Year Barbara!

[@JunkJournalButterfly]

I would have to lock myself in the house😅

[@ishka28]

I tried last year to buy no more craft supplies except to replace disposables. Failed miserably! but managed for maybe 6 months. May you do better.

[@rainydaymakers2222]

Doing a collaboration like this is on my bucket list!

[@GailS8179]

Thanks for the inspiration on how to finish your sisterhood journal - mine is sitting in my studio waiting for me☺️

[@Paperlover123]

It's a wonderful collab, and with your finishing touches, stunning!!!!!🥰

[@bmerves9751]

I love how you made a journal that is colorful and visually interesting without it being overdone. And then you snuck in several design principles in your verbal description. Marvelous!

[@VintagePageDesigns]

Thank you so much!

[@sandeebartsch9063]

Thank you for taking us to your workspace today Ali. I loved that part. Also, thank you for the idea of the stamps in the cigar box, great idea. Your journal is just beautiful.

[@VintagePageDesigns]

Thank you so much!

[@1elephantmemories]

I just love this concept. Love this book!

[@normafavela3912]

Very interactive journal. Love how the three of you created a beautiful journal.

[@VintagePageDesigns]

Thanks Norma!

[@PatLightbody-em7go]

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing . Happy happy New Year to you ......

[@kandrews6356]

This journal brightens my heart and brings joy to my spirit. The 'sisterhood' and sharing of it all coming together is so so special and 'priceless'. I like everything you added and hearing how you brought it all together and what each piece means to you. So nice of you to share it with us; thank you. Happy 2024. May we all find more kindness, friendship, love, joy, and Peace in this New Year and beyond.

[@VintagePageDesigns]

Happy New Year!!

[@loispaulo704]

WOW, just WOW

[@VintagePageDesigns]

Thanks

[@farmaciaamora]

Thanks a bunch! Your work is fantastic! 💞

[@VintagePageDesigns]

Thanks.

[@iamdawt]

How wonderful to see you arriving at your studio, I love these little glimpses into your creative life. Giving us ideas on how to use the journals we make is very much appreciated. Great video, Ali!

[@VintagePageDesigns]

Thank you so much!

[@lucybanta7311]

I love this so much! Not only because you’re recycling your created art but because you’re showing how to fill pages, which I find fascinating and desperately need inspiration for! Happy new year and thanks. Also love how this technique is used in this month’s book project!

[@VintagePageDesigns]

Glad you liked it Lucy :)

[@kathytrombetta3438]

Happy New Year Ali.

[@VintagePageDesigns]

Same to you!

[@patriciaouellette9366]

I love it

[@luannfischer747]

I loved hearing about each page and who created the different parts. Your additions sparked a creative moment in my mind. I have a couple of ladies that I get together with once or twice a month, sometimes we all are together at one time. We each do our own ‘creative’ thing. I think we may create ‘Journals of the Sisterhood’ for us to record our shared adventures in. THANKS for a great video and explanations along the way. Now, I’m off to read your blogpost that you linked to. Also, I’m totally in on the ‘use it up’ for 2024, just looking for a good word or phrase to put on the front on my journal (or on the refrigerator!!!) to remind me, lol

[@VintagePageDesigns]

Thanks for your kind comment Luann - Happy New Year!

[@luannfischer747]

@@VintagePageDesigns I read the blogpost. Next Wednesday a couple of friends are coming over, perhaps I will have something fun to share afterwards. If not, I’m still going to make, create,and share. 🥰💃

[@gkamm857]

Happy New Year, Ali! Thanks for this great video…inspiring to use what we have …I’ve been collecting paper for many years, and it was an easy thing to do working for the original Paper Source stores. I have a question, did the artists send you single sheets, then you bound them into the book? Have a great week!

[@VintagePageDesigns]

They sent me 2 large sheets decorated on both sides. I tore them down to make the books.

[@chloegrl1366]

Love how this turned out....What did you make the cover out of?....love how u store your abc stamps Thx for the inspiration 🎉Happy New Year

[@VintagePageDesigns]

All the pages are mixed media paper.

[@paperprincess1050]

Yes I can fill a journal without spending money or buying anything new :)

[@sandyc2468]

Happy New Year, Ali!🎉 I love your stamp collection! I'm curious about what happens with your journals once they are completed? Do you refer back to them for inspiration, contemplation, meditation.... 🤔

[@VintagePageDesigns]

I love to look back on them - particularly this one - I’ll look at it every few months to remind myself what I want to focus on.
