I love all your ideas and they are also.very pretty

[@marjoriedowden1585]

I see that this post is 2 years old, but I wanted to say Thank you for sharing. I have a friend who mentioned that she wanted to find a journal to write in and now I had an idea for making her one. Thank you.

[@sbartistry5622]

I absolutely ADORE all of these! What fantastic ideas for using scraps and extras!!! They are all so beautiful. Thank you so much for the fabulous ideas 😊 You are so talented!!!!

[@faithfulcrafter1]

Love your ideas on using every little bit of scrap stuff to create a functional pocket or tuck spot for a journal. Appreciate you taking the time to share your ideas with us.

[@juliemccauley6942]

What wonderful ideas! Thank you for sharing!

[@r.c.miller6161]

Beautiful ideas and tips more relevant than ever. And delivered with such a calm, generous demeanor.

[@tatteredtreasuresbypattie6047]

Love every one of these things!!! So adorable!! I love seeing all the things you create!! TFS.

[@gracebustamante940]

Thank you for being so generous with your talent. I’m 92 years old and just starting to junk journal. I am fascinated by the beauty and talent involved in their composition. Could you please tell me the shoe polish you use. Since I am on a very limited budget, it sound like a great solution for distressing. Thank you again

[@kathylesage6932]

Hi Grace. I'm 78 and just started junk journaling not too long ago, and love it.

[@SandraMickleCrafter]

I love your work and you have been a great inspiration for me! I have always been a little timid about trying my hand at journals and you have convinced me to try one. I hope you don't mind if I use some of your ideas. I remember your story about being up at night with your mother and I too have a disability that seems better if I am awake at night. Sewing and paper crafting is the most soothing therapy for night time creativity while the rest of the world is asleep. I consider your videos a blessing. Thank You :)

[@CraftyComeLately]

Very glad you were able to find time to make videos and thinking about you. And I love the little booklets with shoe polish and index cards, great idea and so sweet of you to share with the clients. And love those layered flowers. And of course the napkins and parchment on the sheets! So many great ideas!

[@maraca5797]

Love your crafts! What unique ways to use various paper and napkins! Thank you!

[@denisestreitman3916]

Another way to separate the layers in the napkins...stick a piece of scotch tape to any area on the blank underside of the napkin, give a tiny tug & the layer comes right off, repeat with 2nd ply.

[@craftyirina]

Thank you .... I've been doing that for years and shared that tip many times on my channel ... just not this video.. got caught up in the crafting of the projects 🙂

[@countrymamabear]

You are truly an amazing person! Your acts of kindness are so touching and your creativity and love for crafting are an inspiration to all.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Irina, that’s so lovely I really love 💖 all the things you’ve done. I especially love 💖 the last ones with the little girls and the ladies on, super cute. Thank you so much xxx Mags

[@DebbyLong777]

I love your book pages that you leave places. Do you realize how wonderful that is. Something for free I. A cold world. You are blessed to be a blessing.

[@maryregan4099]

[@adrinem4513]

Wow! I am so glad I found your channel. I just love all your wonderful creative ideas! My daughter is getting married next year & I want to make a journal for her to fill with whatever she wants. I had no real vision of what it would look like until I started watching your videos. Now my mind is full of so many different things all inspired by you. And shoe polish! That looks perfect for aged pages. I cannot thank you enough for sharing these great tips & unique methods!☺️

[@debhyde5156]

Love your small journal and the fact that you make them and put them in a basket for people. That in itself is lovely. You have inspired me to make some for my work mates.

[@viviangassan5506]

Your work is lovely and so creative!!! I love the way you don't waste scraps! I recycle a lot and now have new ideas for using the little pieces up. I took care of my mom for 4 years. I understand. Love and Light Vivian

[@ButterflyBlessingsStudio]

This is great! Thank you so much for sharing! You have inspired me...I know just the place where I can leave a little basket of blessings. I don't think I will be able to be as productive as you have been, but it is great to be able to use waste, enjoy crafting and bless others all at the same time. 😀

[@mowens78zzzz]

Love these ideas! Thank you for sharing them with us.

[@laurabarber6697]

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

I never knew I could use shoe polish. I can't wait to try that now. My main goal for paper crafting was tags to go onto my homemade soaps, now I'm in deep and doing journals and soap. Not enough time in the day. Thanks for all of your great ideas. You are so talented

I Love watching all your video's. I'm new to this book making and you have already taught me a lot,plus have given me some great ideas. I have been buying and collecting all sorts of supplies, both new and old from my local antique and second hand shop's. I just have to take the plunge and make something, I'm not feeling confident enough so I just keep watching all my favorite KZbin videos(including yours) hoping one day soon I'll start using all the awesome papers and old books and card's I've been collecting. Thank you so much for all your inspirational video's. I Love how talented you are.😃📓📖📚

[@marycozzensauldridge6634]

[@nevermore4971]

Shoe polish! What a great idea! I am a sucker for the big world atlas books and old dictionaries. My library sells old books for ten cents each. So far I have accumulated a dozen world atlas books. I just love maps.

[@DewdropGablesCa]

I've made quite a few little booklets with scrap paper, but I love how you do yours with the index cards! I'll have to borrow that idea, Irene, if I may. Love them! What a sweet idea to leave them as free gifts for patients. I have to experiment with different stitches on my machine...I seem to always use the same one. I love the fun ones you used. The images of the little girls on your tuck spots are so adorable! Debbie :)
