Susan! I love finding out the history of why & what we create. We've been doing it since time began! I love that humans are so creative.

[@lovelyanna4655]

The history is my favorite part!

[@clombard7134]

Hi Mark! Love your journals! Who needs perfect edges when you have beautiful pages! thanks for the inspiration!!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

[@zippygumdrop]

I just got my first gel press and I am soooo excited to create something like this. Your videos are so inspirational!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Yay! I'm so excited for you! You will have so much fun with it and make sure to use all the pages you make for something. Even the ones you don't like are good for art journals and collage and all kinds of things!

[@leahnoelle340]

You're going to love using it! I use mine almost every day and wow is it fun.

[@janicejames9541]

I just adore these and I'd love to see what they look like when you've written inside of one.

[@marylikesthis6647]

Ooh, me too!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I'll share that one day! Make sure to find me on Instagram @TheMarkMontano I often show them there.

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

You are so welcome my friend!

[@barbaragrace1992]

My baby granddaughter lives doing crafts with me. She would take paper and just make a lovely mess everywhere on the paper. Some days i looked at it and thought, oh heavens what now. Lol. Ive used all those scribblings in my artwork. Everything has a place. Even her mom who is a really good artist was surprised.

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I think this is the perfect idea for them!

[@Eletra]

Just by looking at these beautiful colors i can tell its ur work! I love everything you do! Sending all love, have a good week!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Sending you lots of love, too Eletra! I'm so glad you like them! I've been writing in them today actually!

[@definitelyyes3251]

I love my Gel Press and use it all thetime. It's my favorite tool and I enjoy what you make with it. You make it look so easy and its is.

I am late to post on this one, but these journals are delightful, little feasts for the eyes. I am ordering a gel press from Amazon. Thanks, Mark!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Wonderful!

[@MichellesCraftsandMore]

Love this! I have been sewing aprons and a couple of envelope pillow covers here lately.

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Wonderful! I think sewing can be very relaxing unless you're in a hurry and then it's frustrating!

[@donquijotedegranada]

so reMARKable, love it!

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

Love your play on words...I might borrow that one!

You know it!

[@franciscoporcayo8974]

Hey Mark cool journal 👌😉

Remarkable

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

You're wonderful Kelsey!

[@laurielahr9401]

Oh my! That is beautiful, the colors are so vibrant I couldn't make myself write on those pages. Could that same technique be used on Aida cloth? If so I will invest in one of those gel presses.

[@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark]

I use my Gel Press on fabric all the time!

[@lorrieboydstun2760]
