[@thepickypainter9854]

I love your work. Please don’t take this wrong. It’s all beautiful and you make the directions so completely clear and easy to follow. Lolol. The only problem I have is staying awake thru the entire video. You have one of the most soothing voices I have ever heard and your accent is lovely !!! Not heavy enough to be hard to understand but just enough to make it stand out. I had been afraid to try the altered book journal covers before, but you make it look like even I can do it !! Thank you for the boosts of confidence I get when I see another of your videos.

[@PPluna10]

I would really like to see you finish this book. Thank you for sharing with us your lovely treasure books.

If no one has told you today how wonderful you are , let me tell you : You are absolutely wonderful ! I love watching you creating beautiful things . It's educative , relaxing and enjoyable . I have learned so much from your tutorials . What i appreciate the most is your honest way to show the mistakes . It's refreshing and encouraging for us ,who maybe just start on this journey of crafting or only as a hobby. To watch a professional working and not feel intimidated , au contraire , to feel encouraged to do it , it's rare . And you are so generous with the time and amount of knowledge shared with us . Thank you so much and be blessed ! It looks like we are free to travel out of our home area , so i am planning to go look around for a car boot sale in search for some treasures :) If is not going to rain cats and dogs lol ...knowing my luck it would probably do :) Have a lovely and creative week ahead . And i would join the others , yes , please , we would love to see how you would add the signatures and rest of the magic you do :) xx

[@mimiroderick3250]

Just like everything you make - I love this! I did have to rewind a second when I saw you patting the glue down with your bare hand! 😉

[@Lynniescorner]

First, thank you for making this video. I knew when I asked if you had made this video I would do this, but I didn't know what I'd use it for. As I lay here, watching, we are in the wee hours of our 36th anniversary. I think I am going to to make a look back at the last 38 years since we met and make room for the future. I fell in love with this cover when I first saw it. Thank you for making this.

[@TreasureBooks]

Oh wow what a wonderful idea!!! Have fun!

Thank you so much!

[@tamsinboldick7035]

Having only recently discovered journals & journalling; and subsequently finding your channel; I feel really lucky to have so many of your tutorials to watch & gain inspiration from - (trying not to binge-watch 😆). I love the very personal touches you give to each video - from the handwritten directions to the simple & easy-to-follow steps, recorded in real-time. Compared to all the technology & jargon that's thrown in our faces on a daily basis, your organic & raw approach is both refreshing & inspirational and a real treasure on this platform. Thanks yet again Natasha.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so very much Tamsin, it means a lot :)

[@maineiacts]

Its very nice to see these these wonderful examples incorporating cheesecloth for texture and raised design!! I can't wait to do this! I bought some at the big box chain herd in small town a few months back and was happy to see it was being carried. So, now it was a matter of finding these videos again lol! Thank You Young Lady!!😉💃👍📚💖

[@TreasureBooks]

Awesome, thank you so much :) Have fun :)

[@KellysCreativeDreams]

Good morning! Finally, someone who understands adhesives. What a lot of people don't realize is that double-sided tape and glue sticks adhesion properties can release in temperature/ atmosphere changes. They are a temporary hold. I was beginning to think I was the only one who understood this. LOL Thanks for sharing your opinon and this beautiful, yet simple, journal process. I look forward to seeing the continued process. Creative Blessings!

[@TreasureBooks]

Well thank YOU!!! I think you must be the only person in the world agreeing with me on this point!!!

[@ultraviolet13881]

Enjoyed your process very much, Natasha, and YES it would be great to see you work on it some more. The books are absolutely beautiful! I also love the way your videos are to the point, peppered with humor and always explanatory but not overly wordy. Thank you!

[@TreasureBooks]

Ahhh thank you so very much Patty!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much :)

[@ofbooksandpaper]

Wonderful tutorial, thank you for sharing 🥰💕 Is a great option to repurpose any cover. They look like those beautiful vintage ledgers. Have a great day!

[@marilynmccormick1658]

This was very interesting. I am new to your channel and have watched three of them tonight, so obviously I have enjoyed what you taught and even more, I enjoyed your style and your calm voice. You are very encouraging. I appreciate you telling viewers that they can use what they have to create their art--they don't have to have a lot of talent or a drawer full of stencils, brushes or paints before they start. I saw a quote that was something like this---You don't have to be great in order to start, but you have to start in order to be great. I think you have inspired a lot of people, like me, to start.

[@NancyLynn]

It's really beautiful, Natasha. Thanks for the education and inspiration! Gentle hugs from Canada

[@michaliaholliday9569]

Thank you for sharing your process! Please know that watching you create is delightful, and a continuation of this project would be lovely. I love to craft along with you. 💙

[@georgiewalker1069]

Love this. Thank you. Another new technique to try out. Exciting!💫 Another interesting technique and texture is crumpled, then unfolded and carefully pressed out and then rolled tin foil that looks like creased metal, then applied as you like, a large rectangular piece on a full cover or a smaller piece and painted. Best regards from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@TreasureBooks]

Oh interesting! I have to try it :)

[@grahamfox931]

Thank you for this most informative video, I have always wanted to do this, but idd not know how. NOW I DO!!!!!

[@tonidoreengranke8502]

I loved this tutorial and watched it as I was doing my laundry. I started my first junk journal on that day. Instead of using cheese cloth I substituted with a used dryer sheets, mod podge and dye that's used for working with leather. It turned out like an old world journal. Very beautiful and it made for a wonderful birthday gift for my granddaughter.

[@TreasureBooks]

Wonderful! I love it!! I hope your granddaughter loves it!

[@differenttakethanmost]

The base color and its dimension of this is fantastic

I can't remember if I told you this summer I did this course er for my dad's scrap journal. It was a gift for his 75th birthday and he absolutely loved it. Instead of a book plate I added a closure from a baby wipe pkg and then put his picture as a toddler inside. Thank you for inspiring me! And teaching so well!!! I don't know how to add a picture sorry.

[@TreasureBooks]

Oh I love that!!!!! I'm so glad your dad loved it :)
