I love your very pleasing presentation that drew me in . You have very clever ideas that I have not. seen on any other junk journal channels. I am your new admirer and have subscribed. Now I'm going to do a little binge watching. Thank you Anne!

[@annekenlon]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad to have you aboard - have fun crafting!

[@tracker5849]

Thank you for the reminder..I grew up with Dutch door in the kitchen..grandma would sit pies etc on top of the bottom door to cool...it had a detachable shelf. LOL..SORRY off topic but you just popped a memory in this 71 yr old brain. Now I HAVE to make this pocket. Thank you

[@annekenlon]

What a lovely memory! Thanks so much for sharing - and have fun crafting!

[@alemapretsof]

I have been doing doors, windows, and other architectural structures to Open Up on whatever I deem fun. I love this one and will add Dutch Doors to my own repertoire. Thanks for the idea Anne.

[@annekenlon]

So glad! Thanks for telling me!

[@janineandrews4337]

FINALLY! A junk journal that is clever and elegant! It's very pleasing and not overly busy. You've given me inspiration to start a new journal.

[@annekenlon]

You're so kind, Janine, thank you so much! Have great fun with this!

[@DebsDitties]

Love your dutch door pockets, Anne 👌💕 Great process ~ thanks for sharing ☺ Blessings~~~

[@annekenlon]

Thank YOU, Deb!

I started watching this video the other day but got called away so I just finished it now. I have not seen this Dutch door style of page before and it's delightful! The stenciled fern and the bird fussy-cuts finished it off beautifully! I like how you tucked tags inside the hinged doors and the beautiful fall scene hidden behind them. Another page for my list! I don't always get time to craft so I keep a list going. Wishing you a blessed day.

[@annekenlon]

You’re so dedicated to come back! Please know how much I appreciate your watching!

[@lorigordon1970]

What a wonderful project. Love it. Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤

[@annekenlon]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@pamelal210]

Loved watching the process. I admit I might have left it as-is, but then the addition of the fern, birds and tags really finished it off nicely! Thanks for the lesson! 🙂

[@annekenlon]

Thanks so much! I had fun doing that one - it was an idea that I just had to try!

[@connielapp4209]

Very clever! Perfect for bigger picture scenes that we don’t want to cut up!

[@annekenlon]

You never know what's going to be on the other side of that door! :-)

[@randyhiltz2634]

I will definitely be doing this in my next journal. Thanks for sharing another great idea! Aka Arlene

[@annekenlon]

Oh, I'm so glad this was useful to you, Arlene! Thanks so much for letting me know, I appreciate your watching!

[@lotto4554]

Very cute

[@SharonMiitchell]

😊I love watching you your ideas are fun and interesting I hope to try junk Journaling some day soon

[@annekenlon]

Thank you so much! I do hope you'll give junk journaling a try. It's such a rewarding practice!

[@clairebarrow4896]

Love this! The house that I grew up in, in Northern California had a Dutch door. The upper section had 9 panes of glass in it so you could see outside. My folks had the house built in the mid 1950s. They had relocated from New England....oh, and I have a Tim Holtz paper Cutter that cuts a deckled edge. Its fun to use! Thanks so much for this video.

[@annekenlon]

Those doors always seem the ultimate in charm to me - so glad you have that happy memory! Thanks for watching!

[@susanflemingcoaching]

What a great make! I enjoyed it very much and am hoping to make something like that for Christmas!

[@annekenlon]

Thanks so much! I'm sure you'll have as much fun making it as I did!

[@ceheyer-ku5qh]

Great idea, I love interactive stuff

[@annekenlon]

Thank you!

[@annanicholson6925]

Great idea with so many possibilities!

[@annekenlon]

Thank you! 😊

[@fayesjournalemporium8993]

This is just delightful! Love this idea - so very creative. I save my calendar scenes too and have used them often in my journals. Thank you for sharing! New subscriber here.

[@annekenlon]

Thank you so much for letting me know! Have fun crafting! I really appreciate your watching and commenting.

[@carolynramirez316]

Love this. I want to try this in a Christmas journal with a Christmas scene inside. Thanks for the inspiration ❤️

[@annekenlon]

Carolyn, this idea would be SUPER with a Christmas scene - and your door could either be "looking out" on a snowy landscape or "looking in" at a warm room with a tree. So many possibilities. Have fun with it!

[@thegypsy1968]

Oh ma gosh love this page idea!! you really are inspiring and have gotten me out of this funk I have been in. Have a great day!

[@annekenlon]

I'm so glad, Gina! It's really fun and not hard, though a bit fiddly.

[@camillemcintosh7765]

Great idea. I’m going to put one in my Christmas journal.

[@annekenlon]

Oh, I'm so glad! Would be adorable with a festive Christmas scene behind the doors!

[@ishka28]

These are really cute

[@annekenlon]

Thank you!

[@phcfrog]

I love this. Am now your newest subscriber

[@annekenlon]

Thank you! So glad to have you aboard!

[@jennifercambridge6837]

I love this and Im definitely going to give it a go, thank you 😊

[@annekenlon]

Oh, thank you so much, Jennifer. It's a "fiddly" process, as you could see, but not complicated at all - just a lot of steps. But I do think it's intriguing to open those little flaps! Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

[@frankieppages]

wow, what a neat idea, love it

[@annekenlon]

Thanks, Frankie - hope you give it a try!

[@Lisa.Tammaro-333]

So clever! Love this! I also really liked your phrase of ‘Unifying visual’, I found that pretty brilliant! I probably would not even thought about adding something subtle to tie the doors together as being a pair or set & now I will try to remember this any chance I get to use it!! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@annekenlon]

Thanks for the kind words, Lisa! Hope you have a chance to try the idea soon - it's really fun!

[@tracker5849]

I'm not a fan of owls but he looks good there!!

[@annekenlon]

That's high praise, then! :-) Isn't it funny how some natural creatures strike us in different ways? I'm afraid you may not like one of my upcoming vids where I have quite a few owls on tags, but I hope you'll stick with me! (or you can just skip the one titled "off-kilter tags.") Thanks for watching!

[@tracker5849]

@annekenlon I will watch..just subscribed. Afraid it's real owls I don't care for. Long ago one took my puppy that was by my feet ..we never found him....and a couple years ago one tried to take my old chihuahua from my arms..in broad day light..while we were camping...it scratched my face grabbing at her...my son was there and he hit it..hard..it flew away. So I guess that's why I'm not a fan. I look forward to seeing what you do next. I just discovered you this morning. P. S. It didn't get her...she's safe..14 yrs old n now n on my lap

[@annekenlon]

Oh@@tracker5849 , how terrifying! No wonder you have a bad visceral reaction! Please know that while you may see owls on the regular here, they are only sketches, no real screechers! In the meantime, so glad to have you as a viewer - welcome aboard!
