Expect The Unexpected! Junk Journal Snacks #27 - Bitesized Inspiration For Your Journal!

[@DonnaLueders]

I tried to tell you to make your hole before you glue the pages together, but you obviously could not hear me with you being so far away. LOL I always love what you do. I was actually going thru some of your videos to find what I wanted and then this new one popped up. Lucky me 😁

[@49dragonflies]

I’m so sorry I didn’t hear you! 😂❤️

[@BigGrannydb]

Happy Accident! This little owl just kept coming alive! WOW! This is one of my all-time favorites. The colors are fabulous - you will be drawn to this page over & over ... when you hunker down to peruse thru this lovely piece.

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaw thanks so much! ❤️

[@SaltLifeGypsy68]

The pages not working out, worked in your favor! I Love when Art tell Us what it wants to Be! It's gorgeous! 🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@tuthillg]

The crackle effect adds so much texture to the background and depth, too. Very pretty, creative pages! TFS the inspiration!

[@geridevries839]

I believe your owl is doing the happy dance for having a new fabulous home! The dream catcher turned out amazing! Love this page and it's worth the bulk! TFS!

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaw that’s so cute! Thank you so much! ❤️

[@juliekeil8791]

The peek through dream catcher is the Perfect idea for the Native American journals I want to do. 💖

[@lyndagilbey9063]

How fabulous this is and I am thrilled to see that someone else finds it difficult to stop adding things once they get going. Super duper!

[@MaureenAstrid]

It's so beautiful - I love owls and dreamcatchers so this is the best of both worlds 💞😘

[@shirleypilsworth1455]

Love your page! You always work things into such cute results!

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Barbara, what a beautiful page, just love it. Thanks for sharing

[@telenaeldridge3737]

Adding the stenciled feathers was genius!

[@anettebrogaard]

Boho...just the right word for a Dream Catcher with sequins on it. Total Hippie...love it :)

[@toniscott1029]

Love this! Was just saying today that things often don't go as planned, yet something beautiful comes out of it!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Those are usually the most rewarding when they do turn out in the end! ❤️😃

[@sharonromer6606]

You never cease to amaze me with your creativity...never stop👍❣

[@lorenaashcroft8114]

I love how the owl pocket turned out.

[@sandrasimard1808]

Oh my goodness you are so artistic, the whole for the owls head an your dream catcher is so beautiful, really a good job, these pages is why I like watching you .🤗😊😘

[@tonyashatley5040]

Wow! That background really made the focal point pop! Absolutely gorgeous!

[@debbiev.1311]

GORGEOUS!! It's amazing where your imagination & creativity goes when you have to improvise...LOVE IT!! 🦉❤

[@angelaarnold4255]

Oh, I love this!! That feather stencil was perfect. And I wondered what you’d use to fill in the page cause it looked 1/2 done with just the dream catcher. That crackle was perfect. That was so fun. And I LOVE that this Journal is getting chunky. I think if it didn’t have such a good closure the chunkiness might be annoying. It would be popping open all the time. But those beautiful ribbons/ties hold it together so nicely. Bring on the chunk! Lol

[@49dragonflies]

Haha. Yes, it’s fun, but quite challenging to work in now 😬❤️

[@julesiou12]

I love this page. The crackle finish really completed the look. That's a great stencil. Beautiful x

[@michellesmixedmediamadness]

I was just making notes for my next journal and it included a hole in the page. This is so funny that here you have a video on that very thing today!!! I love the end page.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Great minds think alike 😉❤️

[@sandrajohnson9926]

That is chunky!! Beautiful doilies & lace on your cover. Thanks for sharing. The BoHo pocket with the owl is adorable!

[@janillingsworth7478]

I love this page. The crackling effect was a super choice and really completes the page.

[@melodydodge7498]

I love it! The crackling just pulled it together in such a cool way!

[@crafterdeidra]

That owl dream catcher turned out beautiful. Great video as always.

[@rosarieramon1081]

Wow...Love...Love....Loved, "Expect the Unexpected"!

[@katherinehawkes]

Wonderful tutorial!!! Your page is so appealing and lovely! Thank you for sharing your process. Be especially blessed in all you do!!! ♥

[@MichelleB_96]

This came out so good!! Adding color to the feathers was brilliant

[@Valkennestblogspot]

Love, love, loved to watch this snack although I am later than Sunday😱 So pretty that owl peeping trough that hole and embellished with that gorgeous mandala and the stenciled feathers, also love the bling. Greetings Maia

[@helenjohnson9066]

Oh my goodness Barbara, what an amazing page!!!! I love it.

[@mariaconti9704]

Wow, that dream catcher page turned out absolutely wonderful! Thank you! ❤️🥰😍❤️😘

[@bettylongshore9594]

The owl looks so regal in the center of the dreamcatcher!!!! Love what you did with the page. I had started watching this page and was interrupted. I could hardly wait to get back to see how you finished it!!!! AWESOME job!!!!! LOVE it!!!!!!! The feathers that you added really made the dreamcatcher come to life and the colors you used are perfect!!!!!!!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much for your kind feedback Betty! ❤️

[@datgal2u]

That came out gorgeous! Loved all the elements and the end result was just wow!

[@mmonr]

I love the feather stenciling behind your dream catcher. This turned out very nice and showcased your beautiful owl tag. Thanks

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Marsha! ❤️

11:22 To darken the Victorian Velvet you could have lightly outlined and shaded with an Albrecht Durer pencil before the ink. For more purple 138 Violet or more towards pink 134 Karmoisin/Crimson.

[@JamieBeeReseller]

I feel my artistry coming out!

[@sandiharkin9922]

I absolutely love how this page turned out!!

[@bollenhutart]

Gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut liebe Barbara, tolle Farben und eine Prima Idee ❤️💛❤️

[@nancynorris9822]

I love your peek-a-boo pocket-page! Beautiful! TFS🤗

[@KateriBurnett]

What a cute idea, love how you worked that idea. Funny how things turn out when we are crafting we have one idea and then something else ends up on the paper. Awesome page Barbara.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Those are usually the best! 😊❤️

[@k.susieroloff4801]

Wow! Never thought it would work out as well as it did...very creative...very pretty.......😻

[@catherinelittle2118]

Barbara you have amazing creativity. The dream catcher idea is beautiful. I love your resilience to make changes as you create and determination to not give up on a project because it is taking an unexpected turn. Like you said those instances sometimes result in fabulous results. You are such as an inspiration to all of us making journals. Thank you so much.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much for your kind feedback! Those are sometimes really the most rewarding results! ❤️

[@gladysward6969]

One of my favorites, Barbara! So sweet TYFS!

[@Astras-Stargate]

What a stunning page! Love the stenciled feathers!!

[@charleneottinger4735]

Perfect! And loved the sketching done on the leaves. Love your ideas and how to implement.

[@claudiasende6408]

What a great page. I love your idea with the dreamcatcher❤❤❤

[@sherryliberto6749]

Wow,Barbara! I love this page. Have a super fantastic day. Sending love and big hugs Sherry

[@lucyfanning7496]

One of my favourites. Love me a bit of Boho.

[@lindabenny4454]

Really stunning Barbara, I loved the torn paper, the feather stencil & crackle stencil. I might have to do a little shopping!

[@jens.106]

It’s a beautiful page, Barbara. Love it!❤️

[@reneesanchez7696]

Simply amazing! Your page turned out wonderfully. 💚💚💚

[@katherinetwilliams4254]

Wonderful page and fun to watch your process as you had to adapt to the unexpected!

[@grahamfox931]

Morning Barbara, what a lovely "snack". Again, you have done a wondeful layout. Just love the dreamcatcher with the owl peeking through. It was a gorgesso idea, and all the stensilling and the bling you added, made the whole page pop. I have never yet been disappointed in anything you have done, it has all been inspiration to me, PLEASE carry on, we love all the work and videos you put up. Thank you for all the hard work it takes to get a video out, it is sooooo very much appreciated. Blessings and hugs from Cape Town, as always. Diana

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaw you are such a sweetheart! Thank you! ❤️

[@maritaranda7782]

That’s gorgeous Barbara 😊💐

[@conniehuman5979]

Love the bohemian look, looks amazing!

[@cynthiarollins3949]

Love feathers …worked out great 💕

[@MysticalMisty_1]

I love this! Your first idea was a great idea too but it is so important to trust your gut when in the middle of something and you really don’t think is going to work right because then you came up with another great idea that you might not have thought of otherwise!!!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Yes, that’s true and that’s why I usually don’t make plans 😃❤️

[@debiv7834]

These pages are gorgeous! The page with the cotton plant is so pretty with the following page! Wow! ❤️😍✌🏻

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Debi! ❤️

[@tmbentley1966]

Absolutely great recovery for an idea that didn’t work.

[@caroltanzi29]

Barbara: where you started and where you ended was quite different. However, it turned out sensational! Nice surprise. Carol from California

[@barbrabrurrier7548]

I think the crinkling background is terrific

[@debbieforward5282]

The pages you glued together with the hole and the dream catcher turned out awesome. Thank you for sharing!

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you! ❤️

[@maymewilkinson9093]

Love love the dreamcatcher, amazing how creative you are!

[@Veronim78]

Enjoyed your tutorial. Love the gorgeous tag. The fabric is stunning. Loved that you made a peek a boo for the owl and added feathers brings more interest to the page. The crackling and colors you chose definitely gave the page a finished look. Gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. Going to try to make some home made gesso now. 🙂

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much for your kind feedback! Have fun with your gesso! ❤️

[@pauletteliddell2923]

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw thanks so much! ❤️

[@prof.mommyarty]

Those peephole pages are so cute! Also this owl doesn't look as angry as most 🙊. The dreamcatcher is perfect for that and the feather stencil is gorgeous on there. Oh best laid plans .....🙈 but I think an over stuffed journal looks nice. Loving these pages 😍. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖

Thank you and have a fabulous day! ❤️
