Easy To Follow Tutorial - Altered Composition Book - Part One

[@IsabelleMassiot-gi9em]

Great ! Thanks for sharing.

[@cindylou9866]

I finally started this project after finding composition notebooks with college lined paper for $0.50 each at Walmart. Covered the front and back last night, inside and out. Woke up this morning…was so happy with how it looked…then tried to open it. About half of my pages were stuck together! 😳🤣 Thankfully was an easy but slow process to separate using a letter opener. Lesson learned. 😊

Great to see you again, Cathy. These are great! I love how you instruct. Keep the faith my fellow journal maker. 🙏🙂💜

[@PatriciaFrancis-ck9xo]

Lovely. Eager to see the finishing touches. ❤❤❤

[@patriciagechei8145]

Love this idea. Every year when school supplies go on sale I grab up crayons, glue, colored pencils and composition notebooks. This is a well-timed video❤😊

[@ujd]

Absolutely love them. Thank you so much for sharing 🥰❤️🥰

[@colleenbuiles9171]

I love to cover & decorate composition books & notebooks. I use to cover my grade book when I was a teacher also! These are turning out so pretty! tfs hugs💞

[@serenity6158]

I love these composition notebooks. Would definitely make nice gifts, and would also be a great way to take a creative break in between making traditional journals, which I'll need after finishing up the two I'm working on now. 😵 I really enjoy watching your process, and your very helpful tips which have been such a help to me! Thank you! ❤

[@mariaelenasantiago3313]

Yes, they are my favorite books to decorate.

[@CathysGardenllc]

Still looking. I have found the Etsy has changed and I can no longer find my purchase. 🤦‍♀️ big problem

[@channysmith83]

Such a great idea Cathy.

[@customercustomer3634]

Great idea!!!!!

[@draerastopsoff6850]

My favorite colors, too to the I get a block with the others 😮

[@draerastopsoff6850]

(to the point I get a block ...) Sorry, my mind works faster than my texting😊

[@bettymcclain4960]

I sure enjoy how you make everything so easy and enjoyable to watch!! I’m very interested in how to us the compoistion books into a journal

[@CathysGardenllc]

You can use it in a traditional journaling style, or glue pictures and use more are a scrapbook. Drawing in it with writing and pictures for art journaling. Some one said they used them for record keeping, school work. Use it any way you wish, we just made it pretty and or cute. Decorate it any way with any style.

Thank you for sharing 🤍

[@SherrieSherman]

Cathy, the bunnies are super cute … are those from a digital print?

[@SherrieSherman]

Cathy I found the digital prints of the bunny’s …the prints are by polka art studio Christmas bunnies ..clip art,fussy cuts

[@CathysGardenllc]

Yes, the bunnies are a digital

[@MargaretHines-o3v]

Don't know if you noticed, but you paper in your envelope matched up. Hope it works on your second.

[@Broom-Hilda364]

there are so many sheets of paper; can some be removed to be able to decorate more. you know lesson the bulk.

[@CathysGardenllc]

If you want to do that, I would glue some pages together. These papers are sewn in ( at least my books are) that means you could remove some papers like in an altered book style.

[@deborahlongmore2522]

I need to move to USA. These books are £5 pounds ($5) each here in Ireland and it’s a struggle to get companies like Amazon to even ship them. 😧😩😩

[@conniekeen7732]

Art Glitter glue puckers my paper.

[@lisamorales3914]

Wish you were prepared with your choice of paper rather than have us wait on you.

[@CathysGardenllc]

I know everyone has personal preferences. A lot of viewers enjoyed watch the process of choosing papers. I’m sorry you did not enjoy it. You can always fast forward that part. I make a video everyday and I don’t always choose papers. Hopefully you can find videos I have that you enjoy. 🥰💐

[@TamyC7]

So beautiful!...🥹🫶🏾❤️ Mrs. Cathy, if you sell it at a craft show, how much will it be the right price to market them?. If you don't mind me asking. I get so nervous about the fact that is a composition book altered, and I don't want people complaining about that fact. I made one for my friend as a birthday gift, and a coworker saw it and wanted one for his wife, and he asked her how much for them, and I really don't know what to say. 🙏🏾❤️

[@catmakesdo]

I was also going to ask that question , as Iam making some for a craft fair this year . The average price I ‘ve seen on Etsy was $10 to $13 ??
