Journal With Me {09}

[@Amyduckie]

We have a toy run on a ton of Harleys and other bikes in Newcastle, Australia, but not on Christmas Day, but in the weeks leading up to it. It goes all over the place and it's fantastic. It's a tradition.

[@jessicapenick4892]

Sometimes simple is the best! Love the big pictures for a tip-in. Will have to try that! Happy new year girl!!!

[@tamarawallace6862]

So, so cute! This is a favorite page I've seen you do. Love it!

[@JennyMaine]

Yes, you can do this in Word! I edit my photos, if needed, in Photo Gallery and then copy/paste into Word for resizing and printing. Works great. Love this layout!

[@AliBrownie]

Thanks so much for letting me know!!! Thank you so much!!!!

[@planyourheartout3109]

Loved the tip ins!

[@samanthaelizabeth8330]

Loved that little (big) gasp when you tested the photos out in the middle! I do the same thing when I'm journaling and something just fits! Love ya!!

[@AliBrownie]

Haha! Thanks! It was a Christmas Miracle! ;)

[@leftygirl1]

I just love looking at your watercolor palette

[@AliBrownie]

Thank you! Me too!

[@DogplayBDA]

cool pages and share Ali thank you for the inspiration and Happy New Year

[@AliBrownie]

Thank you for watching! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! xoxo

[@PaleFairyofSecrets]

Great video! These videos are always so inspiring. I love the honesty of things not going right and getting frustrated. Thanks for leaving all that in. It's always nice to know that it happens to others too :)

[@AliBrownie]

Haha! Thank you! I leave that in on purpose just for that reason. I'm FARRRR from perfect and want to encourage others to be happy with their perfectly imperfect selves. Thank you so much for your love and support! xoxo

[@ExLibris-Alys]

We call them baubles in England too. Love your journal, it's so pretty 🌹

[@AliBrownie]

LOVE!!!! Thank you so much for watching! xoxo

[@amanganella]

Love it! Great idea with using big pictures. Since I'm new to journaling, I haven't done any tip-ins or watercolor yet. I have been using my Sprocket for adding memory pictures...Some day I'll try both the tip-in and watercolor :)

[@AliBrownie]

Just ease in as you are inspired! The main thing is that you are scribing the words of your life. It is so healing.

[@genagustin2646]

Love your journal with me vids! I always learn something new! Like how to add hair. Hahahaha! Happy New Year. 😊

[@AliBrownie]

HAHA! YESS! Hairs a must to add to your journal. ;) Thank you so so much for watching.

[@dropstitchknittr]

Love this, Ali - thank you. And I managed to find one of those number stencils on ebay today!

[@daydreamingtocreate]

Love this.....I will be doing this!! Would love to know the specific Red River paper you use. Thank you for sharing your talent....:) Happy New Year!

[@AliBrownie]

I use the 68lbs Ultra Pro Satin. :)

[@teacupwithhoney]

Thank you .. you are an amazing inspiration

[@jennyjournals8133]

More soon? So much fun to watch :)

[@nmanso420]

I use an app on my iPhone called photo grid but I use it 2 print smaller pictures, usually put 4 pics on 4X6 size paper so I'm not sure if it prints those big full sheets but u should definitely check into that. Good luck!

[@soitgoes521]

"and I'm gonna tip in some hair too..." 😂😂😂😂😂 You're the best Ali!! 💜💙

[@AliBrownie]

Haha! LOVE YOUUUUUU!!!!

[@soitgoes521]

back at youuuuu! :)

[@AzaleaLala]

Happy New Year Ali. I love the big pictures.

[@AliBrownie]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Thank you! I am so happy to start adding them to my journals.

[@Jennperrywork]

I resize photos in PowerPoint.. thanks for being real!! I love that your videos are not totally staged!!

[@AliBrownie]

Awesome! Thank you so much for the suggestion! :)

[@burgabooburgaboo]

GIMP is a free photo editor that's a lot like photoshop, so it could resize the photos like you did in Photoshop. :) Loved the big picture tip-ins!!

[@sunflower2850]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I was laughing so hard that I was snorting when you said , "ERROR ERROR." then you called it Goliath strong Washi and you said you were sweating, 😆😂 oh my word! You are adorable. I just love you Ali!

[@AliBrownie]

Haha! Thank you so much for your love and for watching!!! xoxo

[@corinnecurtis5145]

[@GretaGubbins]

You can put photos onto a word document and resize them to print on a letter size page. There are limited editing options for the photos.

[@nancygregory4205]

Love the "foil" idea; can you provide info or links on where to purchase the items? Thanks and Happy New Year!!

[@AliBrownie]

Sure! I'll update the description! Here is the Adhesive www.amazon.com/Therm-Deco-Foil-Liquid-Adhesive/dp/B00SW6KEV4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483647028&sr=8-1&keywords=deco+foil+adhesive And the foil here: www.amazon.com/Thermoweb-5123-5-Transfer-Sheets-Champagne/dp/B01C9UR51K/ref=pd_sim_201_5?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01C9UR51K&pd_rd_r=RCBAP1F1ADYRDTMGENYA&pd_rd_w=XkRGj&pd_rd_wg=bKOBH&psc=1&refRID=RCBAP1F1ADYRDTMGENYA Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@charlenebethel1158]

Love your video as always. Also I found that very same stencil at LilyBearLane on Etsy last month. Love the stencil.

[@AliBrownie]

So awesome! I am so happy you found it! :)

[@fishngnana68]

Love the Tippin's

[@cherylb1653]

I love the ideas you have! Oh poo that sucks when the pic gets ruined... 😍😜

[@MissMrsMom]

what is that tool that you use to dry your painting?

[@BlueNoodle79]

Hi Ali, happy new year!Just wondering which watercolors you use?

[@AliBrownie]

Happy New Year to you too!!! I use Daniel Smith watercolors! :)

[@BlueNoodle79]

Ali Brown Thanks so much :o)

[@lorifunorie1056]

Picasa will resize pics I believe. It's a VERY basic and user friendly photo editor and album. I think you can download it for free from Google.

[@AliBrownie]

Thank you for letting me know!!

[@chantaldowling4342]

MOLDIV is an app that you can use on your phone or IPad that has great photo editing features. You can resize and crop, they have a boatload of filters, and you can turn your work of art into a collage all in the same app, I love it! Oh and it's free.

[@duffer9904]

I had read that about the odd numbers as well, from Becky and always remember that....so funny....Kerry :D

[@AliBrownie]

that's so cool!!!

[@lucylu3417]

👍🏻very N-I-C-E

[@Spyinak]

Picmonkey is a great online photo editor. Very user friendly!!

[@icecreative78]

Resize photos on iPad or iPhone I use “print to size” 😉

[@anickglobensky-bromow9820]

what is the insert you used for this video? Also, where can I find it?

[@AliBrownie]

It's a Midori 003 that I cut down myself to fit into my B6Slim. I do enjoy the Midori paper. :)

[@angelalee7012]

LOL. Baubles. Baw-bls. :D Hi from Australia!

[@AliBrownie]

Hi!!!!!! Did I say it right? I just love that word!

[@erinmanni5047]

pixlr is a good easy program for resizing

[@AliBrownie]

Thank you so much!

[@norinemueller4588]

Very nice

[@KellyDsWorld]

I use Canva.com for resizin pictures :D

[@Lizzie.lizzy.lizz.]

What does she use to print her pictures herself?

[@AliBrownie]

For this layout I used my computer printer. :)

[@amberrobinson5350]

Hi Ali! For your viewers who would like Photoshop capability without the Photoshop price, I would highly recommend GIMP. It's a free, open-source raster graphics photo editing program. Like Photoshop there is a bit of a learning curve since there are so many powerful tools included, but there are tons of tutorial videos on KZbin and once you get the hang of it, it's very user-friendly. Hope that helps! Happy New Year!!! www.gimp.org

[@AliBrownie]

Awesome! I've had a few folks say GIMP is a great alternative. I will update that in the description right now! Thank you so much!!! xoxo

[@pamshelton6211]

I was trying to think of the word when you were doing the foil. I thought "braise" and then you said braise lol, then you said burnish and I just busted

[@AliBrownie]

haha! SO SO funny!!! :)

[@chantaldowling4342]

You can resize photos in Silhouette software for free

[@jessspagett8488]

I love this video! I did miss watching your videos! But I guess you do have other thing going on in your life. But in terms of photo editing, you could try using picmonkey.com. I use it and it has been pretty good so far.

[@IAmStoryGirl]

Jessica Lamont that's what I use! :0)

[@franny1564]

You can also use GIMP which basically is Photoshop but it's free and open source :) In case not everyone wants to pay for Photoshop.

[@AliBrownie]

Awesome! Thank you so much for the suggestion! :)

[@kbombak]

"mom! is that you?" -young son "ummm..no it's Ali!" -me "but look at those nails! you need nails like that" -son

[@AliBrownie]

HAHA! That is so funny! :) Well, I do them myself...it helps me keep from biting and gives me some pretty digits while I film.

[@shereelinwood9674]

gutted!! burn that roll lol

[@AliBrownie]

I really should!!!! hahaha!!!

[@IAmStoryGirl]

I love your videos. So calm but totally fun at the same time. So peaceful. :0) Hey are you a Christian?

[@lorifunorie1056]

She is one! :) She's got so much wisdom in her too.

[@IAmStoryGirl]

Awesome! I had a feeling!

[@lorifunorie1056]

+Hello Sunshine Vlogs for real! I guess we get it from our Father, haha that was cheesy. ;) and i feel the same about how uplifting watching others journal is, I feel like that kind of vulnerability encourages community.

[@IAmStoryGirl]

Lori Funorie "community" that's the word! That's why I want to incorporate my journal and planner into my vlog somehow. Just starting out though. I'll get there. :0) I think God does bless us with gifts when we open up or minds to His peace and plan.

[@AliBrownie]

I am absolutely, to my very core, a lover of Jesus! He has saved me from myself and has given me such a JOY! Blessings to you, my Sistah from the same Mistah!!! xoxo
