❤Ceri, been scrapping for 25+ years. Tysvm for helping me to learn something new every time you do a project. You can do no wrong. You are the best!! ❤❤❤ yiou😊

[@brendaclark2703]

Hello dear Ceri, love printing on sticker sheets! How fun to use them for extra paints and inks and such. This is a game changer for me! Love that idea! Thank you! Love your journal cover. ❤ I enjoy listening to your thought process when decorating. It helps me as well. Thank you so much for sharing your art. I appreciate you , hugs and blessings. 💜🤗

[@JulieTorrens]

Oh how I love all the beautiful colors and textures. So much to take in yet not chaotic. Everything just flows❤ Then.... "Grape Jelly" 😳 😂😅😂😅 You said it so seriously too! Oh how I love watching your videos. Never stop being you! ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Now that I’ve found me Julie I don’t intend changing.

[@crafterdeidra]

What a genius idea with using labels over paper we don't like or won't use and turn into tags and journal cards. They all came out gorgeous. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

I fully endorse adding something just because it makes you smile. What a fun use for the labels. Love&hugs to you and Biscuit ❤️ ♥️

[@CeriGriffiths]

Yes! Thank you Darcy.

[@noreenlawlor3700]

Love this project Ceri....so creative and practical. I smiled too at the Grape Jelly sticker....so random. Love that. Really like what you do. Thanks do much for sharing.

[@margarethoward2808]

Lovely job gluing and then sticking. You have panache!

[@SpydersCorner]

Fabulous! As always. I love that you take a dull 12x12 and turn it into something so inspiring!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much!

[@Ann-eh7ii]

Looking forward to seeing you do a Bohemian journal. ❤❤❤

[@loriegaskins7679]

Loving this journal cover and tags! Love the label idea. Thanks for sharing.❤❤❤

[@juliasmith5646]

Your esthetic is always SO CHEERFUL! I love these colors and how happy they are! What a great way to combine all these colors and then to make them even more uniquely yours with the additional elements you added to each! Love the journal cover you created in a separate video that I suspect these tags and Journal Cards will go with! I can’t wait to see the video yet to come to build this unique journal!!! Much love to you, Julia ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Julia

[@wandawalters3516]

Lovely project! Can't wait to see the finished project!

[@belindazimmer2107]

So fun to see how you used those beautiful gel printed labels. I can’t wait to make some too. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@lynnlebedda1648]

I am new at this. I watch some of your videos over and over again. I too have OCD. It seems I can connect with you more than others. You are a wonderful teacher.You alone are the reason I keep trying. My mother is a wonderful artist and I do have some of her talent. Thank-you for everything you teach me.Many blessings.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Just make sure you’re enjoying the process of creativity.

Hi Ceri .... that was a Great project to watch .... our Happy Place indeed ♥♥🔖🔖🏷

[@fontellahenderson2016]

I always find my happy place listening to and watching what you do. It's very lovely of you to share such beautiful things. I need lots of epherma because I'm gathering stuff and the ideas to put it all together beautifully. 😊

[@PatWalden]

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wonderful, thank you

[@debbiesilver3549]

Can’t wait to see more Bohemian, it’s not at all my style but I’m intrigued

[@lindadoremus2051]

You are delightful! I love the bright colors. ❤

[@alisonmartin6101]

Hi Ceri! I love this ephemera and the beautiful journal cover. I'm always impressed how you keep all your scraps etc so well organized. 😃🇨🇦

[@CeriGriffiths]

If I don’t I get overwhelmed.

[@colleenlondon5605]

I've had a package of labels forever and you came to the rescue on how I will use them. I went back and watched the Arty Labels video.....can't wait to get started. Thanks for all you share.

[@Georgiamom0909]

Me too! I have a bunch of label pages that are missing ones that were used for actual mailing labels, and I didn't have the heart to throw the rest of the page away. What a perfect use for them!!

[@michelel3372]

I love how this came together and the ephemera is so awesome! I always look so forward to your videos! Thank you for your hard work in videoing and creating. ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much

[@marybrown2545]

Loved watching you create ! I love the arty labels 🦋

[@calendarpage]

I have some of those 'people' pieces and never would have thought about putting butterflies behind them and turning them into fairies. It looks very nice.

[@crazycardlady]

Yesterday was a non-stop day for me. About an hour before bed, I looked at my phone and there was a CERI video… aaaahhhhhhhh! You are so soothing and I love your videos. Thanks for all you do Ceri.

[@TwobitsTiger]

Watching your videos has rekindled my love for junk journaling. Thank you for more awesome ideas!

[@devonrex4]

Fun way to make to use your labels to a journal cover. Very fun tags and ATCs too 💖💖💖

[@CeriGriffiths]

Oh yes, postcard and ATC backgrounds are cute as well.

[@RobinSpencer-wc6hj]

You sure made me laugh when you put grape jelly label on with the little fellow. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jennifermackinnon7870]

A great day when I wake up to a video from Ceri with which I can have coffee and craft along! Thank you!

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome!

[@suzyallen1726]

This would be great for collaging windowed envelopes. It might make it easier😊❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Great idea!

[@lisaminglet7229]

It is great to see how you use the labels on projects. The tags turned out fabulous.

[@carolcurley7840]

Thank you for an excellent video. I have not been watching for long nor have I done any craft like this but I fully intend to after watching this. Just watching gave me such peace so I look forward to loosing myself in the craft.

[@joannedonovan9489]

What a great way to use labels! That came out beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@hazeljanehopkins5652]

I was fascinated by the ‘label collage”; what a great idea Ceri! The result was magnificent, so bohemian in style, the journal cover is perfect and the tags and journal cards are lovely - can’t wait till March now!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much!

[@barbarawafer94]

What a great tutorial! You do such beautiful work. I love to watch you create. Thank you for sharing. 💕

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thanks so much 😊

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

Ceri, that's a great idea, nicely done, I am giving it a try, thank you always for sharing. Take care. :)

[@brendagoulette759]

I love how you used all the different labels for such a beautiful background. ❤ The book is awesome.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much!

[@JeanandKenny]

My son-in-law unloaded a bunch of labels on me, no idea until now what to do with them, thank you! As for being quiet, I love watching the process. My husband asked me why I never listen to music while I am in my craft room, I told him that I need to hear myself, he didn't understand, that's ok.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Oh I so get that .

[@susanbrowning4193]

Awesome video Ceri! Love the cover.

[@donnaswisher8408]

Hi Ceri. Great use of your arty labels. I love boho...I always think gypsy. So I thought the music page was perfect. Your little fairy was adorable. TFS. Hope you have a great day. 🌞

[@lindamatzke8979]

Goodmorning Ceri...I like this idea!

Awwwww what a cute name for a dog - Biscuit. Beautiful project.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you! 😊

[@amychuck2357]

Hi Ceri! I had a beloved dog named Biscuit many years ago. She was a beagle ❤ Love your videos! Have a great day.

[@aliswonderlandcreations5662]

Hi!! I just found your channel, and I am now a fan. I have been paper crafting for 24 years. I now have something new to start creating. Thank you for inspiring me. I usually bypass journal type videos but not yours. I love how you create I'm mass and store them for later use. I have already been yo my local Thrift store and got several books to use. I will be looking forward to more of your videos

[@cindytheriault4105]

Love love love ❤…I love listening to your info

[@vanessarussell7997]

Hi Ceri I really enjoyed the video. The cover is very pretty. I ephemera is nice.

[@toyjones8853]

Ceri, I love this concept, I did the same thing using craft paper for a vintage/neutral look. This is even better since I enjoy vibrant colors! Thank you

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome!

[@wanderingheart1]

I picked up a big lot of labels at a second hand shop and this is a great idea to use them in a crafty project! Thanks for sharing, Ceri 😊

[@cynthiaswank6678]

What a great Idea for scrapbooking backgrounds so personalize. Beautifully done. Thank you so much for a different way of creating back grounds. The gel press is awesome as well.

[@conniec4629]

I made labels from your previous video and absolutely love them. You did a good job decorating your tags and journal cards. I always learn from you.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much Connie

[@dh7217]

Lovely! I hadn't known about you making painty labels before this. Will go look for a video. They became prettier as they were separated from their sheets. ❤

There is a link in the description box.

Super fun, love the labels!!!

Thanks for the idea. Yours look lovely! I hope mine come out colorful as yours.

[@sandrapotter1785]

I have the same corner rounder. I turn mine the same way you do so I can see what I’m punching because I’ve had mishaps also!

[@desireemartin3485]

You have done it again! Fun craft along with learning. Love it!

[@jenrodgers4677]

Fantastic

[@faithingrits]

Lush idea using the labels! That's a new idea for me; diolch! I did the BoHo Collab with Rach's channel last summer and my "BoHo Baby" journal is a jewel (and very much mine not to be parted with). I've been saving up bits since then to do a "happy colourful hippie" version of boho. Give a shout if you want some peace symbols; as I found a bag of hundreds treasure hunting. 🥰

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wonderful, thank you, I’ll bear that in mind.

[@faithingrits]

@@CeriGriffiths Cool 👍 Also, there is a De-Stash Craft sale event coming up in Kidwelly on the 16th of March. (Not sure if you travel this way; but thought to share.)

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Christina and welcome to my channel.

[@southernbiscuits1275]

Always fun to see you make things, Ceri. As, you know from my comments, I design everything using Photoshop. One of the great things about PS is how it alerts you with guidelines where objects line up in relationship with each other. One object's relationship to another is a key element in creating a sense of cohesiveness in a design. I like adding birds in flight in my designs. If I just slapped an image of a bird down without paying attention to its relationship to the object to which it refers, my chances of making a jumble of my design are heightened. I wonder how many crafters think about relationships of colors, textures, shapes and images to one another when they make their projects. You have a great eye and I would like to ask if you would consider doing a video about ways to improve one's design skills when creating projects. The rules aren't complicated. Basically, they're all about paying attention. Sometimes it isn't enough to "just do it". One needs to know what one is doing and why in order to achieve the best result and to improve one's talent for design. Thanks, Ceri!!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you, very valued comments. I have been blessed with a gift of an eye that sees balance in shape, colour and form, I often forget that not everyone is equally blessed. I’ll have to think on this topic because I don’t see myself as being qualified to teach this but sharing my preferences may be something I could do.

[@CindyGutierrez-ng4dm]

I wish I could be you 😂 I need to be more organized 😮😮

[@beadpoet]

Even when i trim my nails i keep the thumbs a little long just for stuckers and small things. :)

[@CeriGriffiths]

Great tip!

[@sandyfranklin1123]

Your system for organizing your ephemera is excellent! Could you share the source for the divided plastic boxes?

[@CeriGriffiths]

Sandy, this video should answer all of your questions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ3GfZRmhtCjpM0si=5QCBvk1zl9nrVI_j

[@debbiethompson1320]

Ceri, this is a wonderful idea. Question: do you have a video on harvesting magazine pages? If so, can you tell me how to find it? Thank you.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Yes I do Debbie, it’s an older video of mine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWq0fWd5qLadesksi=Ufkm6EtzC1JvpujO

[@amandajill3625]

Hello, I loved the labels once you had covered the 12 x 12, why didn’t you leave them like that? Were they too thin ? You give me so many ideas Thank you 😊 Xxx

[@CeriGriffiths]

I just wanted to turn them into something, I could have left it as a 12x12.

[@buxombeauty1962]

I love to listen to your commentary while I’m busy with chores. I’ve been meaning to ask: what is the make and model of your printer?

[@buxombeauty1962]

[@CeriGriffiths]

It’s just a HP, and an old one at that.

[@bildsarajohansson]

Hello Ceri, I know this might be taken the wrong way but please be sure of this OK. I am in no way here to put anyone down!!! I am only curious all right... I have just like you started up all this as a child with basically nothing more than a pair of scissors some glue and NY own imagination ha! 😊And guess what? No one absolutely no one ever got what I was doing but today I am so happy they let me continue even though they didn't 😅 anyhow I am so in love with your channel you bring so much JOY to my life! And for that I thank you! Now to my question OK.... All these paper dolls and snapshots of people we don't know.... For what purposes? I mean in my journals I usually have like Bowie Beatles or my all time faves Duran Duran but actually in the same style as Tim Holtz for example do the others and I envy you lot for being able to do this with unknown people HOW? Is it done??? Please let me know! Educate me please! And before anyone asks... Of course I have piccies of mine as children too!!! Hellooo!!! 😊❤🎉 And again thank you Ceri for a wonderful attitude and a great channel!!! //Sara

[@CeriGriffiths]

Sara, I think a lot of people create to sell therefore having anonymous characters in their creations doesn’t bother them, also not everyone has old family photos and memorabilia therefore they have to buy it or purchase a digital download from someone to enable them to create. There are no rules in art so whatever you feel comfortable using is right for you no matter what anyone else says.

[@bildsarajohansson]

Thank you so much for your answer, well I don’t sell I only give away as presents and such and then I put in a majority of piccies of the person receiving or their loved ones for instance and of course one or two Bowie or something otherwise it wouldn’t be me 😊 Stay safe and take care, Ceri ! And again I thank you for your answer and your happy go lucky attitude ! // Sara ;)

[@lorigirl352]

I was wondering how you go about using a sewing machine , sew through fabric, glue, cardstock etc. , without breaking your sewing machine needle?

[@CeriGriffiths]

I just take it slow and I’ve never broken a needle, maybe I’m lucky. I do however make sure I don’t force my machine to sew things that are to thick for it.
