Degloss Magazine Pages | Journal With Me

Welcome back to Gina Makes It. In today's video, I am working in my new March journal. I recently picked up an issue of Victorian magazine and fell instantly in love with its photographs and images. I knew these pictures would be a perfect fit in this journal -- minus the high gloss.
I tried using some Matte Gel Medium (mine is from Hobby Lobby; 50% off at $6.50) on each photo and it worked beautifully! I see many more of these photos being incorporated in my journal pages.

Gina - Wonderful!

[@lisamorice4701]

Love this journal so far. These first pages are so soft and feel just right for the current season you are in. I recently bought an ols issue of Victoria magazine and found images on every page to use in my junk journals. Thanks for the inspiration.

So pretty! I love Victoria. I have been a subscriber for years. I have one of their Christmas editions on my coffee table right now dated 2000. It is so hard to part with them. I have snipped magazine floral pictures before, but really didn’t care to have the glossed image in my book, so your hint is really helpful. Thanks for sharing!

[@GinaMakesIt]

Thanks, Martha. I think I called it Victorian magazine and you calling it by the right name made me remember that! It’s an absolutely beautiful magazine! 😍

[@GinaMakesIt]

Hi neighbor! It is such a lovely magazine. 😊

[@janekrut2799]

Inspiring as always!

[@GinaMakesIt]

Thanks, Jan. ☺️

[@KimGibsonfiberlover]

I’ve wondered if anything would remove the gloss…this is so timely!

[@GinaMakesIt]

It definitely takes the gloss off and gives a muted feel. 😊

[@MsLouisVee]

I also dislike glossy magazine pages and stickers a real dealbreaker for me

[@tammymchenry3675]

Binge watching your videos. You are my new favorite! Love that you share the complete process and that you share your writing with us. Thanks for sharing your gifts. Love the opening videos as well.

Beautiful ❤️ I’ve heard of that magazine, I’m going to have to look for it. Awesome tip to dull down shiny pictures, I’m definitely going to try it.

[@GinaMakesIt]

If you have a JoAnn’s or a Barnes and Noble near you, check there as I’ve seen them there or I think you can get a subscription online. 😊

You’re welcome, Renay! And have fun!

[@matildaenlund6679]

😍

[@rakisk8r]

Thank you for a really lovely video, it really lifted my spirit. I’m curious whether once your images were dry, was there evidence of paint brush marks? Thank you!

[@GinaMakesIt]

You’re welcome! Not really upon glancing, but if you look very close, there are faint brush marks!

[@rakisk8r]

@@GinaMakesIt thank you 🙏

[@Jeannes1234]

I love watching you work in this journal Gina. Did the magazine pages wrinkle at all when you applied the gel medium to them? Just wondering.

[@GinaMakesIt]

Thank you! No, they did not wrinkle at all. With the first one, I crumpled it in my hands, but with the cottage winter scene, I left it flat and it stayed flat. 😊
