I love that you use your time on the things you make and don't says things like "I'm to lazy to do that"

[@henriquecd]

This is amazing! A couple of years ago I did a River Song diary and used your videos to learn book binding, at that time I shared with you some photos. The cool part is we used the same technique to make the embossed cover. Thank you for bringing me such good memories.

[@johnjacobs5838]

Great project, as always. My favourite Doctor is the third, Jon Pertwee. I am old and have been watching Dr Who from the very first Dr, William Hartnell. A hint for embossing covers; if you place a sheet of craft foam over the covers and press while the glue is wet it pushes the cover material down into the spaces.

[@kimwallace5729]

Thanks for that little hint about the foam, a great idea. While Tom Baker will always be my favourite, I loved Jon Pertwee next best. Plus I loved him as Worzle Gummage.

[@nadaqueocultar]

10th Doctor/ David Tennant. He's wonderful ♥ I was SO EXCITED for this video, thank you so much! I've seen other tutorials here on youtube but none of those looked good. I'm gonna try this as soon as I can.

[@mynameisjoeakamynameisno2110]

I love this project! My Doctor is Paul McGann, the Eighth Doctor. However, I love each incarnation. Each actor put his own spin on the character and did a magnificent job. 💙💙

[@kayleecarrasco6699]

THIS IS AMAZING my favorite doctor is probably the tenth because I love David tennant a lot he's great

[@SeaLemonDIY]

+Kaylee Cee I agree!

[@claudia-wv9rv]

my favourite's the eleventh cause i love matt :)

[@careless_cate]

Kaylee C Mine's probably10 or 11

[@cayzee4719]

THE 11TH DOCTOR IS THE BEST! and here's why... 1. bow ties are cool 2. bunkbeds are cool 3. fezzes are cool

[@okTownes]

yes legit.

[@tonifafa]

While I'm not a Dr. Who fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial! Great job.

[@zoya6208]

the eleventh doctor - matt smith HANDS DOWN, best DOCTOR

[@andrewmariona8141]

debatable

[@mrotakudine7795]

Yea man

[@KraftyPaws]

Great tutorial! I'm not a book maker, but a huge Doctor Who fan. My favorite is Matt Smith. I got to meet him in NYC the first year he was the Doctor. He was so young, genuine, and enthusiastic.

[@CraftySandra]

My favorite is Matt Smith the 11th doctor, because he was the doctor that introduced the series for me ^-^

[@mrotakudine7795]

Also me 😀

[@belldandypleb5610]

As we Whovians of old like to say: “You Never Forget Your First Doctor!”

[@angelicacirnecoimbra6591]

Best River of daily tutorial I've seen today, finally now I know I can do mine. Thanks.

[@amitexo]

At last another bookbinding project :) You got me into bookbinding & I can't get enough of it!

[@taylorjudi]

i do not watch Dr. Who, but my niece asked me to make her a Tardis cake for her birthday. I think this would be a perfect gift to go with the cake. Thanks for this clear, detailed tutorial.

[@VictoriaA6762]

9 is definitely my favorite. I've wanted one of these diaries for so long!!❤❤❤

[@alexandergifford]

The 4th Doctor is my ultimate fave Doctor but the 1st & 12th are also pretty great.

[@kimwallace5729]

I agree Tom Baker will always be my favourite Dr as well. He is probably the reason I like jelly babies :-) And from this run I like Peter Capaldi too.

[@dilarauysal1096]

This is the best River diary ever! I was about to make a Tardis for my friend's birthday this is a great reference thanks :) and i love all Doctors but my favorite is David Tennant

[@SeaLemonDIY]

+Dilara Uysal thanks! He's my favorite too 😉

[@EelcoStorm]

I made one last month for my wife as a christmas present. It was easier than I thought. I think you used 2mm cardboard, although in your links you link to 3mm card board. One tip: if you want to make a perfect emboss, without having to press down in the grooves with your bone folder, fill the grooves with match sticks and put weight on it. That way, you get a perfect emboss.

[@ThatBetchEllie]

David tenant of course is my favorite dr prolly always will be xD I love this I'm not a diyer but I'm going to make this!!

[@lenanana8]

I've done this project twice now, one with coloured cardstock for the cover when I just started bookbinding, and another using navy blue vinyl a year later. Was so happy that they turned out well as per your instructions, and I could see that I improved! I would suggest making a spine stiffener for added support: glue the 2 spine pieces to a long strip of cardstock the length of your boards and the width of your textblock. In both times I made this journal I found that the spine was a bit floppy and this helped add support. Rounding and backing the textblock (for more advanced bookbinding) would also make the journal more elegant. Thanks so much and look forward to seeing more projects from you.

[@dennislai2908]

Amazing cover! My favourite Doctor is Peter Davison (from the Classic run of Doctor Who).

[@JRCSalter]

Thanks. This is just what I was looking for. I've wanted to do embossing for a while, but never really had much success with it, and most of the tutorials I've found use embossing machines which kinda defeats the object of personalisation. I did attempt to create a book like this, but used much thinner card for the embossed areas. However, I did manage to get Sylvester McCoy to sign it, so that's awesome. I've been wanting to bind my single issue Doctor Who comics together, but was undecided on what covers to use. I think this will be perfect.

[@VictoriaTz]

Just want to thank you and your channel for helping me with my anxiety, your voice is so calm ! And I have made one of your projects and it didn't turn out very well but I still like it haha thanks for everything

[@SeaLemonDIY]

+Victoria Tz (diosauni) thanks for subscribing! 💕

[@TwistedEHAI]

Sea Lemon I made one and it came out kind of good

[@agdollsforever4280]

Victoria Tz nice

[@donnakimball3822]

I love your book. I am a huge fan of dr. Who. I'm 64 and have been watching him for a very long time.

[@patytrico]

Fantastic! I can´t wait to make mine ;) About your question -it's a difficult choice- but my Favorite doctor is the 9th ;) Close by comes the 10th ;D I'm sad that Eccleston had only a year in the show, but, he certainly make an impresion. And he brings Capt. Jack aboard (eyebrows moving). Greetings from Uruguay.

[@caraxkins]

mmm i love the cream colored paper. it’s so much more pleasant and soothing to look at vs. bright white

[@luonfilm]

I would love to see something about Supernatural! Your channel is just amazing, keep going.

[@femkevdw8369]

Yes! Please!

[@FilAsians]

Stephanie Aurene Tedja Yes! John's hunting journal would be awesome.

[@mellaniethompson7444]

Please do John's hunting journal!

[@twistedyarnball1226]

THIS! I would LOVE to see johns journal on sea lemon. I'll have a think tonight about how to do it anyway.

[@phs125]

And something about Harry Potter.

[@sharksinmybepsi7081]

Take a shot every time she says 'signature' in this video. I loved this tutorial by the way. Keep up the good work

[@Emma-pb5is]

I'm not planning to do this but it's really interesting to watch

[@clandestini]

And my favorite Doctor is the 11th. But the Tennant`s Doctor and Capaldi`s are so special to me also.

[@Mrsdeanroad]

Brilliant, no, AMAZING DIY! My favourite doctor is Matt Smith (some say he might make a come back after Peter Capaldi leaves)

[@JoDidntHearYou]

Thanks for putting so much work into this! I'm kind of addicted to your bookmaking tutorials. You've inspired me so much that I'm gonna make my own Coptic stitch journal! Thanks again!

[@RaulGonzalez-jq6fk]

WOW I LOVE IT, you are awesome Jenny. David Tennant obviously, but i love all his regenerations.

[@azracakal2987]

My favourite Doctor was probably the Tenth because that was the first Doctor i watched, though i only watched the specials after series two because i couldn't bear to see Rose Tyler go. Anyway definitely going to make this! I love Doctor Who

[@reallyann0yingdin0saur65]

Who else still misses Matt Smith?

Good job. We watched Dr Who at dinner time with the kids, circa 1980's. Good memories & good times. Thanks.

[@meghanashley4095]

Matt smith and David Tennant are my top two. But, if I had to choose one, it would be smith.

[@bbrachman]

Your embossing technique is top notch. It really explains how to achieve great results with a little bit of cutting. Thank you for all you effort and great tutorials.

[@legotheon]

McCoy, Eccleston and Capaldi are my favs :3 Can't seem to choose between 'em

[@ultracurious]

Your tutorials are so fantastic! Thorough for complete beginners (me), while concise enough that going back to repeat a section is easy. I love your channel, thank you for all the time and effort you put in.

[@ShadyLampShade]

CAPALDI AND TENNANT FOR LIFE!

[@jeanlee1911]

I just found your channel. My fave Doctor is the 4th doctor. I was a young girl when I started watching the Doctor I am 51 now and still love Tom Baker. now my children Love the Doctor.

Could you do something Once Upon a Time theme craft? Maybe like Henry's storybook?

That would be awesome😀😀😀

[@amakerwitch]

INCREDIBLE tutorial. I haven't made a book in years so I'll have to go back and do some of your less-complex ones before I do this, but it is absolutely going on my list. My favorite doctor is 11th - Matt Smith is MY Doctor! I loved his vulnerability and self-deprecating sense of humor.

[@SeaLemonDIY]

+Beth Roberts I haven't made a case bound book in awhile until this one...I had to watch my own tutorials for a refresher! 😆 Thanks for checking out my videos!

[@ReaganKeeler]

The 11th doctor is my favorite! ☺️❤️

I have a friend I always watch doctor who with. This would be a great birthday gift for her!

Yes, I forgot it was the Doctor (not Doctor Who, even though Maldovar yell that at him).

in the original series he was frequently credited as "doctor who". she is still technically correct.

[@okTownes]

thank you thought that only bothered me.

I love the 10th doctor! He is absolutely my favorite! This is such a great idea. You are seriously talented. I hope you make and sell your crafts on Etsy or somewhere cuz you can definitely make a profit. I mean I’d buy your stuff if I had the money. 😊

[@kimdoogleouo4521]

Christopher Eccleston for sure. He's such a great actor

[@sursr2820]

Same. :)

[@memej.9889]

no way david tennant is the best

[@ItsEmTheMe]

I like Christopher Eccleston too, and I like Matt Smith. I'm so sad that they only gave Eccleston one season, though:-(((((

[@joshuadunsdrumset5402]

+Emma Rader me too -.- but he quit after the one season, so it wasn't BBC's fault..

[@Taken4Granted2]

9's too rude for me, i lik the tenth

[@kittykatgaming8296]

There is no better doctor than 10! I could listen to him talk all day long! Love my David Tennent!

[@sarahhussain2335]

I'll definitely make this. And my favorite doctor is Matt Smith.

[@dancersupreme3023]

I am so gonna make this for my diehard Whovian friend in the future when I get better at book binding! He’ll love it.

[@danielamizzi6212]

yaaaay love this so much you are AMAIZING!!!

[@leyalaatasto9096]

Absolutely losing my mind over the faux embossing, it's so simple but so effective! Makes me a little ashamed that I didn't think of it before haha! I'm planning to write and handbind a collection of short stories for my boyfriend. Your tutorials have been extremely helpful for this project of mine, so thank you very much♡

[@hoxinyan2746]

Love! Could you do more on drawing techniques?

[@megan2176]

Wow, that's so cool!! I always think the current doctor is my favorite until he changes into the next one. I loved Christopher Eccelston and thought I hated David Tennant, but then he grew on me and I loved him! Then when he morphed into Matt Smith, I was so mad and hated him, but now Matt's my favorite! I'm still watching season 6 so he hasn't switched to the newest guy, but I'm sure I'll hate him, until I love him. :)

[@MegaCleverclover]

OMG !!!!!!!! THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!!!! ))) My favorite Doctor's 10'th ALLONS-Y!)

[@rajatsaraswat7814]

Wow! This is the best handmade diary Ihave ever seen.

[@LY2030.]

Not exactly? Not AT ALL

[@a0flj0]

You can use sprayable contact adhesive for gluing the end pages. It's not water based, so it won't cause any creases in the paper. Only, it is exactly what its name says: contact adhesive. Once contact is made, there's no way to adjust the position of the paper.

Thank you! After that Instagram stories post I got super excited! It looks amazing, the best diy one so far. I'm making this for myself. Oh, I also use wax paper to prevent warping, but instead of regular paper I use paper towels to absorb the moisture from the glue. Works great.

[@lucalvgd]

omg that looks amazing! really great video ^^ but pls don't call the doctor doctor who 😬

[@tardisollie4545]

Peter Capaldi calls The Doctor 'Doctor Who' because that's what he was credited as for over 10 years when the show began.

[@booksinthemeadows]

I made my first notebook after having found this video because I am Doctor Who obsessed and an determined to make myself my own River Song Diary. Thank you for your amazing tutorials!

You did an amazing job! The Doctor will land in your garden with the TARDIS!

[@angelacribbs9942]

DEFINITELY 10 and 11. No one was better than these 2. My deepest personal preference goes to Tennant but I do love Smith lol This was astounding! If I am ever brave enough I need to attempt this! My friend's wedding had River Song's diary as the top layer of wedding cake. We are a Whovian family lol

[@subarnabanerjee5255]

I'm a huge Whovian and I've always wanted to make this River Song diary. Thank you so much for making this video, I'll definitely try it someday ❤️ my favourite Doctor is David Tennant, although Peter Capaldi is a close second

[@shamoussa]

[@warped1626]

I made a river song journal years ago using your techniques and am about to make a second! Thanks for the kindling!

[@annettetrent539]

I don't know the actor's name, but my favorite Doctor Who was the one who wore the long scarf. I know the episodes were little campy but those were among my favorites.

[@legotheon]

Tom Baker (the Fourth Doctor) was the one with the long scarf :)

[@eightofclubs]

Tip: I don't know what kind of vinil Jennifer used, but if yours is soft and kinda stretchy (like mine was), I highly recommend you not to use binder clips to help the leather glue to the cardboard, as it will leave permanent marks on it.

[@syanda24]

Wow! That's AMAZING!! So much hard work on your part figuring that out. Thank you! River is definitely my favourite character!

[@ChattylaineCreates]

In my time it was Tom Baker but out of all of them it's a toss up between David Tennant and Matt Smith.... Great Riversong diary... Loved watching you put it together xx ❤️
