Creating my 2024 journal cover 12 22 24

[@keldaycreativeart]

Shawn thank you so much for sharing this. Whilst watching you work and the music, my mind wandered back to my childhood. Bringing back memories of me and my three brothers and sister sitting at the table. We were all drawing, colouring in books, making paper dolls, one brother was making a model airplane and we were all simply enjoying the moment together. Laughing and joking. Sadly things changed so much and tears are in my eyes but love is in my heart. I live an ocean away from them and lost two of them many years ago. But your video has brought back the happiness and love in my heart. Thank you with all my heart Shawn. x

[@ShawnPetite]

I'm so glad that you have that memory to hold to. I'm also grateful that you're here and inspiring you. Happy New Year!

[@keldaycreativeart]

Beautiful cover to hold a years memories, inspiration, and representation of moments in time. Love how the colors and papers all came together in a vintage, grungy masterpiece. The black accents really pop and ground the whole thing. Merry Christmas Shawn.

[@ShawnPetite]

Thanks my friend! I hope you and your loved ones have a peaceful Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@ShawnPetite]

Thank you and thanks for taking the journey with me! I hope you and your loved ones have a peaceful Holiday Season! 🎄💜

It used to be sad for me to do a journal cover at the end of each year.Now I think of it as my Book of Good Memories instead of losing a year. Looking forward to beginning my new journal. Over the last several years, I've been including an empty lined page to write my thoughts in between the painted ones...a written diary/painted journal. It's been another fulfilling and inspirational year with you on Sundays and in the membership. Thank you for your continued dedication and keeping me going on my journey for these many, many years. Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones. Onward to 2025! 🌈

[@ShawnPetite]

Thank you Libby! I love the idea of the extra page in between. Many blessing you to and yours. Happy New Year!

[@llcreationsstudiojournals]

Shawn, what an experience to watch you create. I am ordering your stencils but where is the fabulous and beautiful papers that you used to create the coordinating the layers with the stencils? I would have loved them also to complete this look. Hugs and thanks for being there for us that is not quite as creative as you are. Linda

[@lucianar.domingues9329]

UAU!!!!!! 😲🤩😍

You're a wonderful artist to watch/learn from. Something very serene about you that's apparent. I have that Canson XL mixed media book which I've been using to store stickers, ephemera as shared by someone on YT. I will save and come back to this video when I have a journal for which I need to make a cover. I have Graphics Fairy premium membership and have seen similar papers, especially the marbled inside paper. Love the colors that are so pleasing and calming. PS: May I ask what's your secret to such perfect skin? :) Best Wishes for the holidays and the new year! May you always stay blessed and loved!

[@ShawnPetite]

Thank you! Glad that this video gave you ideas for your own journal cover. I don't do much to my skin :) I don't use a specific cleanser, I wash with warm water. But I've used oil of Olay since I was 20 years old. That's about it! Thanks for being here and I hope you Holidays are filled with love and peace.

[@marriannadougherty7408]

Just watched the video. Thank you so much. I started watching your videos 2 weeks ago. It popped up on my KZbin screen as a “suggestion” maybe because I’m looking at “collage” videos. Who knows. Doesn’t matter really. One question: do you ever bind the journal into the cover? And thank you for the link for the book binding tape. My son just asked what I wanted from Amazon that they could order for me. Absolutely perfect timing. Also, I love reading comments on YT videos. Sometimes I find answers to a question, sometimes I get a whole new question or idea. It’s always special. Merry Christmas

[@ShawnPetite]

I don't bind it to my journal. I don't feel the need to, but you certainly could. Once I'm done I put the cover on, tie is up tight and it goes on the shelf. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Years ❤

[@shawnawyland1506]

I love this! Where can I find the videos about building a "chunky monkey" journal? How to begin? Any information would be great!! Thank you

[@juliahoward3018]

Watching your videos are part of my Sunday sabbath practice. Church, lunch, hen tea and Shawn. Thank you always being quiet beauty. I would like to know what the blue spray was you used to lighten the black stenciling?

[@ShawnPetite]

Thank you so much and I'm honored to be part of your Sunday sabbath 💜. I was using water. My glass spray bottle has a blue bottom :) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
