You are hands down the best crafter/artist on youtube! Every video inspired me and i look forward to watching every video... Thank you❤❤❤

[@49dragonflies]

Oh my goodness, what a compliment! Kind of speechless here! ❤️❤️❤️

[@prof.mommyarty]

yes our Barbara is the best, she's awesome 😊

[@telenaeldridge3737]

Sewing inside the stamping on the inside cover fabric was brilliant!! This is absolutely yummy and I would love to just spend about 15 minutes just feeling every inch.

[@elizabethkeeling-carreau1873]

This is so gorgeous! I love the way that you’ve mixed your style and Luise’ style. She is going to be flabbergasted that it’s so amazing! 🤗🇨🇦🤗

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much! ☺️❤️

[@kristenmesker8476]

Just wow! Happy to see the return of ‘brayed furlap’ lol

[@49dragonflies]

🙈😊❤️

[@emmkaa2099]

It'll ALWAYS be "Brayed Furlap"!! Love you, angel, MomK 🤗♥️🤗

[@49dragonflies]

Haha love you too, MomK! 🫶🏼😘

[@annthomas9583]

I just said wow when you sanded the flower image on the glossy sticker paper over the stencil. How cool!! I am going to have to give this technique a try. I love how your cover turned out and I am sure Luise will too!! You two always put your hearts into everything you make and I love that.

[@lealooscreations]

I love that technique and definitely want to try it!

[@donnaarsenoff8399]

Every time you make a new journal, I think it’s the best one yet. I love your “style”. They are all so different and beautiful. ❤

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much! ☺️❤️

[@4GraceCreations]

Woohooo!!!!!!!!! This is fabulous

[@katherinetwilliams4254]

This cover came out beautifully ❤ I love this Seth Apter fabric and love how the sentiment is perfect on the spine! luise will love it❤❤❤

[@christine0nowell757]

This is a fantastic cover for Your lovely friend Luisa, she will be blown away I'm sure, well done again Barbara xx

[@adhita88]

I'm sorry, but your "oh, nooo'" has to be one of the cutest expressions in the crafter world; whenever I hear it I smile widely and pay even more attention to see how you are going to solve the unexpected. That journal cover is lovely, I think it suits Luise very well and she will love it. 😊

[@49dragonflies]

☺️❤️

[@shawnmorymcmillion]

Oh I ABSOLUTELY agree about her “OH NOOO!” I love it!

[@lisagreen3778]

Yet another beautiful creation! You have once again proven how easy it is to create a unique masterpiece with recycled items rather than spending lots of money! You are inspiring! Thank you for sharing your time and talents!😘😘

[@anitamitchell3452]

I love it when a project creates itself. Simply lovely. Such fun! Thank you. Have a great day. ❤

[@edie44]

Dear Barbara, Even when you think you made a mistake (with the brayed furlap)🤣 your art comes out beautiful. 💖💖

[@tanjablume6343]

Wow, this journal cover turned out so beautiful 😍 I love the inside cover so much as well. I wasn't sure about covering so much of the material with the black denim, but it all came together so well. The focal point is absolutely gorgeous!👩🏼‍🎨🥰

[@susanmorales8675]

Such a beautiful cover that combines the personalities of Luisa and you. You did a wonderful job.

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you! ❤️

[@nancyfoley8198]

Barbara, you lost me at placing the Jean squares... I just couldn't see it. OMGosh!!! How fabulous. Truly a work of art❤

[@mounabb1869]

CONGRATULATION BARBARA we are 70 K 🥳🥳🥳i'm so happy our family is growing Youpiiiiii

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much!!!!! It’s incredible! 🤭😱😃

[@doreethorpe4800]

Love it Barbara and I’m sure Luise will love it as well. ❤

[@mirandan5764]

Love this cover! Patience while sewing pays off greatly with the end result

[@MarinaTheJournalingGypsy]

OOOOO I think "Brayed Furlap" 😅😅 really worked ❣❣

[@Beautycutiestyle]

Full of wonder is a perfect title!

[@cris-amv]

Beautiful journal cover! Luise will most certainly love it!

[@debragrady9565]

So incredibly gorgeous Barbara! I think Luise will love this!

[@juliebycousucousin1421]

Hello Barbara 😊 just beautiful ❤

[@Crafting_Whimsy]

Barbara, your cover art is OUTSTANDING! Luise is gonna love this! Your focal point sanding with the stencil and the stitching 🧵 amazed me! ✂️🩷📎 Trish

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you! ❤️

[@florencetovar3351]

Great video Barbara! I really enjoy how you push yourself beyond your comfort zone. Very inspiring. Thank you!

[@susanhudson3299]

I am so glad you centred the front focal point You often tilt this item on your journals but you didn’t this time!! Yay.

[@maryschuler9512]

I gotta say I was worried in the beginning because so much of that beautiful fabric underneath was being covered by the jeans, and I wasn't totally convinced what it would look like. I should have known better. You ALWAYS create magic and the fact that you said you didn't know what you were going to do other than just use the black jeans!😮 Fabulous!! P.s. I'm glad you heard me say, "Just redo the tag and sew the edges "😅❤😂 How could Luise not just fall in love with it. We WILL see tears 😊

[@lealooscreations]

You took the words right out of my mouth! I had the same thought at the beginning and then was telling her to just undo the tag. ;-)

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaaaw thank you! ❤️☺️

[@lleonard2779]

❤ ⭐️ So nice I watched it twice 😊 Barbara I’m sure Luise loves it….great job you 💕

[@drikabrown99]

I went to a place to paint some pottery with friends as a team building exercise. In the studio the words "If it is perfect, it is not art" hung on the wall. When I create, I always remember those words, and it gives me confidence. So, maybe it will inspire other viewers and yourself too.❤

[@49dragonflies]

Love that quote! Thanks for sharing ❤️☺️

[@shawnmorymcmillion]

Thank you! I will save this advice!

[@fatimareis]

Oi Barbara! Sou a Fátima, do Brasil! Estou acompanhando do Dephemerember 2024! Parabéns!

[@rosarieramon1081]

Remember, it's Dephemerember...fun. No overthinking (that should be a rule)! No pressure. Luise, will love the beautiful gift of a journal created by her dear friend, Barbara. Enjoy! Yay Dephemerember!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! And you’re so right about overthinking! Easier said than done 😬

[@SandysArt-cx5ek]

Really neat cover. Right down her alley. 😍

[@smply4you]

I absolutely love love love this. Stunning!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@jneigler]

Luisa will be absolutely thrilled with this “Shine Your Light “ journal. It is a masterpiece! You are just the very best in this genre. Happy Dephemerember!

[@49dragonflies]

Oh my goodness, thank you! ❤️

[@LoJo99]

Love this cover! ~*~ one option with your frame is to custom ink blend your own on a white piece of card stock whatever color you want just use that ink. Such as the evergreen bough~*~ I think it turned out lovely though.

[@Lunas-ART]

Liebe Barbara! Das Cover ist super schön geworden😍 - und das Bild kommt klasse rüber, auch wenn es einen andere Folie ist🤩👍. Ich liebe die Herstellung deiner Cover ☺ Ganz liebe Grüße Luna 🥰

[@deekilroy1746]

Such an amazing cover!!

[@leannearmstrong1393]

This turned out absolutely gorgeous!! ❤

[@victoriaguckian8578]

I like it when you say Oh no! You show us how to fix the oh no!

[@scrapartforfun]

❤Waow so fun to see all the steps you do to create this cover it looks so cool. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the next steps.❤❤❤

[@tinaknoell2401]

No doubt, this will be a treasure to Luise!

[@danacolosimo5874]

Wow that looks amazing ❤️❤️😍😍 I love it 😻 🥰 Louisa is going to love this ❤️❤️ TFS

[@lindabardes9974]

As usual….true inspiration

[@flymill84]

Das ist ganz Wundervoll geworden!

[@patricialaine319]

This has turned out beautifully Barbara. I love your honesty when you're not confident about doing a particular technique, and, I am happy to see that I'm not the only one that forgets a step, and, ends up having to pull designs apart, or use some creative license to incorporate the forgotten step, or item!!! 😀

[@valoraeastman5188]

I saw that the ‘Shine Your Light’ was on the spine when I first turned on this video! And I thought how perfect it was! That fabric is just gorgeous. Aloha from Aloha, Oregon, USA

[@fonda5797]

This journal cover is AMAZING! I am so excited to swap journals with my sister!

[@LoJo99]

Love that.

[@beverlymccall7575]

The cover looks terrific. Nice workmanship.

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

Absolutely fabulous! Just wow, you never fail. She is going to love this! You are incredibly talented and creative. Hugs ❤️🤗

[@wrenbayley]

Lol, before the end of the video when I thought you were just gonna leave off without white splatters, I was thinking "Oh no! You can't leave out the white splatters. They're already on the jeans. The focal point needs themmmm." 😂 So glad you thought that too. I know Luise adores this journal. Beautiful work as always.

[@49dragonflies]

😅❤️

[@julieschwartz2135]

Finally, I couldn’t wait for part 2! It looks fantastic she is going to love it. Both of you are so creative/talented, and inspiring 🤗.

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much!! ☺️❤️

[@CheleinSF]

Gorgeous cover❤ I always enjoy watching you create, listening to your thought process, the “oh no!!!” moments, and ultimately amazing results ❤️👍🫶

[@nienkedebruijn-leeuw8335]

I really love this cover, and also te inside with stiching the stamps!

[@allisonjames2923]

Love the cover and that is the perfect focal point. It might be a lot of stress & overthinking, but you came up with the perfect cover that Luise will love! 😁

[@SilviaSherriff]

Lovely! And it does work on other paper. I used it on a magazine page. It's a fun and messy process with interesting results.

[@49dragonflies]

Oh thank you for letting us know! 😃

[@lindagonzalez6570]

It turned out so beautiful Barbara, Luise will absolutely Love it! I know I do.

[@AzaleaLala]

The cover is absolutely gorgeous. I love the flower digital. I'll have to look for that. I think we've all been there when we have to take something apart in order to sew. lol.

[@JournalBreezeYT]

This journal is fantastic!! Louisa will love it too. Well done Barbara!

[@NatureSpiritJournals]

Endlich habe ich jetzt geschafft, die Videos zum Cover zu Ende zu schauen! Du hast so viele tolle Ideen eingebracht. Der genähte Rahmen fehlte wirklich noch. Gut, dass du ihn doch noch gemacht hast… Luise wird sich sehr freuen, du hast dir viel zu viel Sorgen bei der Herstellung gemacht! Wunderschön geworden! Liebe Grüße Nicole

[@49dragonflies]

Herzlichen Dank! ❤️

[@heatherparry3159]

Beautiful! Love the focal point.

[@pambotter355]

Barbara, I think because we are looking straight down on your cover and you are at an angle, you didn’t see the phrase Shine Your Light at first. I was telling you it was there and not to cover it! LOL! How nice that turned out that it landed on the spine. It worked perfectly on the spine. Then I told you to cut the thread of the little metal saying and you heard me! LOL. Barbara, love the technique on the picture. Everything turned out perfectly! Luise is going to love this! TFS! ❤

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you, dear Pam for always giving me tips! 😅❤️

for the 'plus' signs that you didn't stitch, maybe try a black pen/marker to make faux stitches???
