If I had to chose a queen of all the scrapbookers around the world (and I know many)... it was you!! You are my absolute, most favourite SCRAPQUEEN!. Your projects are always perfect, the way you describe everything is easy to follow, you provide many hints, you have a style close to mine (feeling for arts), you always surprise me and you activate me the most pleasant way I can imagine!!! What a way to get up in the morning. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH !!!

[@wandalindsay3548]

This is the BEST tutorial I’ve seen….you are speaking my language with incorporating sewing, ribbons, lace, beads and buttons (oh my😅🤣) . I’ve made some journals, have been doing visual journaling and Bible journaling for about 10 yrs and have been watching videos to learn new things. (Also a lifelong crafter, quilter & fiber artist) Your step by step instructions, having them clearly printed out next to the project and explaining each step clearly is just awesome. Because this was posted a yr ago I don’t know if you’ll ever see this but I’m taking the time to comment because the final project captured my attention! I will make some of these as soon as I have the time! Just wonderful creativity and lovely sense of design. Beautiful without being overdone as so many of them seem to be! MANY THANKS!!!

[@mycraftdiaryy]

Don’t worry about it, your videos are just as clear as ever and I always found it very easy to follow. I’ve made this type of journals before, watched Jennibellie’s video ages ago. One additional thing I do is I sew my signatures together with straight stitch on sewing machine before tying them to the spine (after sniping the notches). I found it much easier to manipulate the tying when i don’t have to worry about the pages in the signature moving about. Plus it adds a little bit of loose thread, which is quite fun. I do agree that heavier weight paper works better for this, I used packaging cardboard for mine. Even though I’m experienced at this binding, it’s still fun to see your interpretation of it and get more ideas - love the part on adding fabric to the spine and doing the faux handmade paper look on the journal cover!

[@gloriawagner9405]

Oh my gosh this journal is simply gorgeous

[@dzb1198]

I love this - it feels like the very essence of what junk journaling is - from using materials you have around already to tapping into our artists' hearts. I have so many ideas!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@mimsie732]

My kind of journal. No measuring and sewing. Looks so effective. Another fun project. Thank you 😊

[@claradockery1072]

Natasa, This has been the most wonderful video. What caught my eye to want to watch were the beads on the spine. I really like beading. I have had a fun ☺️ time. I felt like I was in a college class. I copied your notes, turned the video back on, taking notes and drawing myself more sketches, I'm older and it helps me to visually see my notes and pictures. I have all supplies and ready to go. Hehe. You have such a nice speaking voice 👏 easy to listen to. Are you a teacher? Thank you for sharing your video with us 😀. Be Blessed, Safe and Healthy, Grandma from the USA 🇺🇸

I am feeling overwhelmed (with ideas, possibilities!) in the most positive, wonderful way!! The I -want-to-go-in-my-craft-room right now and try this way! ❤️ Natasa, thank you so much for another creative, inspiring video with clear directions and written instructions that can be referred back to…you truly inspire me to believe “the possibilities are endless” and make everything look easy and do-able as you break it down a step at a time! These are so lovely! Love everything about them and am excited to give it a go! Thank you so much for generously sharing with us always! ❤️🥰 I admire and appreciate you! Thank you.🙋🏻‍♀️☺️❤️

[@TreasureBooks]

Aw thank you so much Deb!!!! You should see inside my head, so many possibilities, to create for another 3 lifetimes!!

@@diannelabadie6895 go to the end of the video. She has them there so you can screen-shot it or pause the video and copy by hand you prefer. 🙂

[@krnpotgeter]

I could’ve said it better. Thank you for you for the inspiration

[@medievallassie]

These are lovely!! I will definitely try this one! You might want to consider a "Y" cut into the area of the spine instead of the "V" that you are using. You will get a better coverage of the cover edges, less bulk in the spine and an easier glue process. Just cut straight up through the center but stop about 3/4 inch from the bottom of the spine. Then cut from the center of each spine corner. You will have a long straight flap that is much easier to glue and less bulky, too.

[@sallysmith2937]

I like the idea of wrapping the twine rather than poking holes and the pages turn easier. Thank you for sharing. The tip about the glue was great. Very very pretty and FUN!! That’s what it’s all about; having fun!! 🦋🎶🧚‍♀️🐞🐠🌻🌹🍄

[@robinmp8300]

I am new.....Like Deb, feeling a bit overwhelmed with the possibilities. I am so impressed with the creative ideas. I had started to gather paper and snipids last week not knowing if I could even use them, I had also taken plain typing paper and used food coloring (took me the entire day mixing colors, drying, ripping edges to deckle and press ) to make faux homemade paper. I really really enjoyed making them and it was free because i had the supplies already. So there I sat, all these beautiful pages in pastel colors.....not knowing what to do with them. I figured they were too thin to add all that embelishment to so they sat on a pile of possibilities yet to be known until I saw this video. WOW! I have soooo many ideas now that I thought of as you went along that I cant wait to eat cereal, open junk mail and collect cardboards....(oh and to think for years I had tons and JUST threw it all away last year cleaning house) should have kept them, had some beautiful kleenex box cardboard.....Thanks so much.....now I have a reason to get out the new sewing machine and learn how to use that! 😆🤣🤣

[@thelasonj]

Thanks so much for showing us this new technique. I am always happy to see what you challenge us to try. Be well. 🖤😊

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much 😊

[@znycelondon5313]

The books are each in their own way unique. That’s what I like about creating them……no two will be alike. You really made the books look so much fun with each turn of the pages. I love all of them. 🥰

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you :)

[@Wvnursey]

The beaded spines are fantastic! I have a bunch of paper beads that will be awesome for these!

[@robinsutton4952]

I’ve seen other KZbin tutorials and have never been interested. Some reason today I decided to watch yours and of course you made it easy to follow. Thanks for the inspiration, informative tutorial. I’ve saved for the future, as I’m sure I’ll revisit soon.

[@jennip8585]

Natasa!! This is such a great idea!! Thank you for the tutorial💕 Seriously though, you could just randomly make a journal, or tags, or envelopes, or whatever... Without the tutorial... and I'd still watch. Everytime I watch someone else's technique, it gives me ideas. You're the best at your craft, and I could have your videos literally playing all day without being bored. It doesn't have to be as you say, 'groundbreaking'.😬😉👍 Thank you for another great tutorial. ❤️

I am making these journals with beading on the spine already for years and years . But I never had the grandiose idea to make a half spine. Superb!!! What a great idea. And of course I want to make it immediately and now I do not have a cerialbox in tbe house 😭😭😭used them all. I often cover my outsides with theabags wich look stunning. Thanks again for an AMAZING idea.

[@lizzyanthus1]

I remember years ago, the paper beads. I never gave them a go as I wasn't sure what I'd ever do with them. Now you've shown us the perfect use for them, thank you! I'll be off to find a tutorial of creating them now! I love these books, they are just beautiful with the open backs and beads and buttons on the spine. I love your tutorials, your way of showing exactly what and how to do each step makes it so easy to follow and learn from you. The diagrams you draw are so very helpful to me too. I really need that, to get it into my head. :) Thanks again, and hope you forever have awesome days creating beautiful things!

Thank you for this firstclass tutorial! You are so meticulous and careful. I just had one thought about when you cut the coverpaper at the spine: If you cut the paper like a Y you would get a wider edge to glue down on the cover. It might make it easier. I will try this book out, it's so beautiful with all the buttons and beads on the spine, and all the lovely pages within!
