[@cindyborcherding8927]

You are a PRO at making 49th and Market look even MORE beautiful. 😍

[@JamiePate]

Well, that is just so very kind of you to say, Cindy. I sort of think it's pretty good on it's own. Definitely an amazing collection of design. Thank you!

[@tatteredbookboutique]

[@JamiePate]

Well, thank you so very much for sharing that! I hope you found some value in this today. If not at least a good laugh!!! haha. Thank you for watching.

[@brandiepoulin1771]

Love this mini album! ❤

[@JamiePate]

Yes! It's a good one. Hope you found some take aways for you.

[@JamiePate]

Brandi...thank you for your comment on the WSW that went up on Wednesday. Wow. I do not even know what happened to corrupt that video, but it got it bad. Just appreciate you letting me know. Thanks.

[@kateliekefett7339]

I loved your use of those vintage labels I had to get them myself!

[@JamiePate]

Seriously! That set of dies just keeps giving! Glad you grabbed them. Think you will be reaching for them a lot!

[@TheGogirl5]

Actually I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Also seeing that sometimes it takes a little grit and just to keep going. Thank you. Its beautiful. Gotta go find that paper from 49 market - NOW!!

[@JamiePate]

Did you hit the links and find? I mean...so beautiful!!! Thank you for your kind words. I really do appreciate!!!

[@lulipena1752]

Lovely ❤

[@JamiePate]

Thank you so very much for watching!!! I appreciate that. Are you a card maker?

[@lulipena1752]

A learning Card Maker yes hahaha.. but I really like also albums, journals and scrapbook pages.

[@JamiePate]

You like all the things! I can relate to that emotion. Happy you are here!!!@@lulipena1752

[@katiedarcy8948]

ohhh... I love this!! I hope you keep on making journals... I need to go back and make some soon. I used to love to make a book!! My only piece of advice is get yourself to a Blicks art supply or something and get an Awl. It makes a world of difference, makes you feel official and isn't really expensive!! Hope things go well in your journal!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@JamiePate]

And we know how much I need to feel official!!! haha!!! And yes to making books. I do love making books. You should get back to it. Do you use the book spacers for crafting your journals. I think I need those too.

[@fjbunny]

This turned out so lovely Jamie! Thank you for sharing it with us, even as you were learning. It’s fabulous and a perfect place to document the next 90 days.

[@JamiePate]

It's already such a joy to have this. Yeah. You know. You just gotta just keep pushing through. Thank you for all your kind words of encouragement!

[@ellenrodriguez9517]

This is great! It's hard to believe it's your 1st attempt. Really lovely. I've been making my own books for a while now ( an ex-library employee here), and I have to say, your work is better than my 1st few attempts. Although there is alot of work that goes into book binding, it really does make a wonderful completely homemade scrapbook!!

[@JamiePate]

I completely agree. About the complete scrapbook. Sort of why one enjoys hovering around the book makers. It's a beautiful art. What is your favorite resource for book making?

[@ellenrodriguez9517]

I can't say I have a favorite. I've used many mediums from store bought to leftover cardboad and cereal boxes. Pretty much anything I have on hand. I want to try working with leather, but Im feeling intimidated. I've recently made a couple of hardcover recipe books using basic scrapbook supplies.

[@JamiePate]

@@ellenrodriguez9517 I am sure those are completely lovely too. I feel so honored you are here in this little community of ours. Have a lovely day.

[@ellenrodriguez9517]

Thank you. I always look forward to your content. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!😊

[@marthastrickland7148]

Oooooh! I love this journal and how you plan to use it. It turned out just right! 😊

[@JamiePate]

Loving this journal so much already, Martha! It was just how I had hoped. After the struggle and all...LOL!!!

[@marthastrickland7148]

@@JamiePate By the way, thank you for keeping all of it in the video. It is encouraging and beneficial to see the whole process of tweaking the plan and seeing the awesome results. Have a great weekend!

[@JamiePate]

Thank you, Martha. That really means a lot to me. I appreciate your encouraging words.@@marthastrickland7148

[@robinvogelsang5535]

You go girl!! Such a great idea and intention. That’s what’s important, mistakes and all.😏. I love the idea of why you created this book. I, too, am venturing on an art journal intention in October with some techniques I want to play with and see where it goes. Unlike you, I just bought a small book for this project! Maybe I’ll cover it with the beautiful Plum papers and an ephemera cluster🙂. (I’m still struggling w/those clusters!! I’ll just keep practicing, as you said!) Thanks so much for sharing these book binding techniques and trials! Happy weekend!!❤️.

[@JamiePate]

Keep going! Don't quit. Maybe those techniques can be some of your October focus. And enjoy finding your style in it all. Copy copy away. But you will be found in your making. Then you won't be able to stop. Thank you for sharing. Thanks for watching!!!

[@maryzulick9369]

Jamie, not sure if you know there are dies by a certain designer for Sizzix offering different journal sizes. I wasn’t sure if I could mention her name here or if it would be appropriate. Even though I’m new to making my own journals, I recently purchased two of the dies and they are awesome. Of course, making your own is fun as well but having dimensions and holes cut out with the die was a whole heck of a lot easier. Just throwing it out there for you if interested! Your journal turned out beautiful, and it’s great to know we are not alone and to be patient while working through mistakes.

[@JamiePate]

The ones from Eileen H? Are there some that are tall enough for a 6x8 book?

[@colette4hm]

A great journal and fun to watch mistakes and all! The mistakes and how you regrouped were very encouraging to me to keep on pushing through and adjust what you thought you were going to do! Kind of like...turn a drip into a dot!" I was wondering about how many pages were in each signature and how you decided on that?

[@JamiePate]

Thank you so much! The struggle was a little real, but I am loving this book so very much!!! The signatures have 2 white cardstock sheets and then 3 of the grid dot sheets. Which then translates to about 10 pages once folded. This is not a daily journal. But rather to hold the intentions and check off charts for certain of the goals. The card stock will probably be to hold art journal type pages. The dot grid to hold journaling and charts and the different categories I am intending to pursue these next few months. Hope that helped. Let me know. Thank you for your comment.

[@trinabarnes9160]

It did help thank you. The decision on how many pages to add to any book leaves me nuts! Maybe it is too personal but I would love to hear your intentions for this journal. I just love it! @@JamiePate

[@JamiePate]

@@trinabarnes9160 I may need to blog this. It's a little heady. But I am basically taking a couple of categories: relational, experiential, intellectual, spiritual, and there is always one more I always forget...LOL...and outlining some specific things I want to work on in those areas. So, that is the Cliff notes version. I may need to do an article. Also, have you heard of Last 90 Days Challenge? I am incorporating that as well.
