Journey - a junk journal

[@primrozie]

Nice spine on that and beautiful colors on back of book! Gram raised me on that tea. With jelly toast, cinnamon sugar toast and scones with raisins and nuts.

[@brendamyers2353]

I love your channel. Would love to see more tutorials. Thx for sharing your creativity!

[@Schatzie301]

You are so right about the tea. I’ve drunk black tea all my life and about 6 months ago I started adding cream and sugar and like you, I’m hooked. Your work is exquisite. Thanks for sharing all you do.

[@sharonsmith2670]

I'm late jumping on the junk journal train. I even would make journals like Ginger's. She's great! The thing about this newer phase of jj, is how expensive it's become. With all the stuff they buy to make a jj has evolved it's no longer use junk, you buy your junk. I love the cheap kits. but it costs me $70 to print it all out. I think I'm going to use the best of both worlds.Your journal is beautiful. I'd like to see a video of you making your cover, and that stitch you used to sew the book in. Thanks, Sharon

[@NiktheBooksmith]

Hello Sharon! that is something I will discuss is keeping costs down ;)

[@bubblegum1949]

no one could hate this Journal/album just beautiful.

[@tessfiore2717]

I think this style and that closure are my favorites.

[@darlenescreativejourney6755]

wow 1000 subscribers you've come a long way in 6 years. Lovely to see made lovely videos 6 years ago

[@kkossor3046]

Very lovely. I like it a lot. Lots of room to write so it's pretty AND useful. (Have always used cream & sugar). It's so yummy. Thank you for sharing this.

[@sherrireeves8110]

[@angiehayden6429]

I am a huge fan of your journals! I think they are beautiful. So I'd love to see any tutorials by you. However there is one thing I'd especially like to see how you construct and that is your covers! They are soooo cool and somethings that usually stands out to me! Tfs

[@doebailey9644]

I do like the additional color you added. Love all your journals and would like knowing about how you hide the sewing in, of the signatures. I noticed the thread and it seems different from others I've seen.

[@cherylpesutimassie5010]

You, by far, do these videos awesomely!!! You add funny little comments that make it so fun to watch. Love love love that cause you're a funny lady Nik Bee...;) And I love your journals!!!

Your journals are gorgeous. 😊

[@meghaathnikar5445]

Watever u do is so beautiful,,💚💚

[@karennewhouse1625]

Very nice journal but all of your journals are I watched you from the very first journal the bits and baubles are so yummy without being overly junky and the names and stories you tell about them. I would like to see you do a fabric cover that's sewn with ruff edges I am afraid of ruining my sewing machine so seeing how it's done would be great.

[@NiktheBooksmith]

Hello, Karen, I will make sure and talk about how and why I choose what I choose, its a fine line! =)

How fun! I’m watching this you’re talking about 1000 subscribers (Dec 2016) and currently your at nearly 15k!!!

[@ReneesatItAgain]

super cool book!! yes, it's cold here in the mid-south too...but bouncing back to the 60s "alledgedly" sat/sun. i would love to see a tut on just one page, any page of your layering and embellishing...oh and how you do your covers too ; )). thanks, Nicole...super inspired!! xRenee

[@NiktheBooksmith]

Hello, Renee! thanks so much and I will add that idea to the list =)

[@rneustel388]

I’m watching all your archive videos-how fun!! Btw...I didn’t know sweetening and lightening your tea was a British thing-that’s the only way I drink mine-my hubby thinks I’m ruining it, though! 😝

[@CraftyComeLately]

Beautiful journal! Congratulations on reaching 1200+ subbies. And I never know what kind of tutorials I want to see but when I see them, I am inspired. I may not know that the look is a few layers of fabrics or materials I never thought of....

[@NiktheBooksmith]

Thanks CCL! I hear ya, sometimes I get inspiration from the simplest things =)

[@PaulaZuehlke55]

I LOVE the hybrid idea..it's exactly what I've been wanting to try. you've inspired me to get going! You really should do tutorials.. great stuff plus I almost always pick up a new tip or two from everyone's tutorials

[@NiktheBooksmith]

Hello Paula, thanks so much =)

[@sandrakrahn6163]

Fantastic

[@tuthillg]

Merci!

[@marylund6850]

Tutorials!! On designing covers, spines and closures, yay!

[@primrozie]

Hi! I'm looking for spine material and wonder what your spine is? Beautiful journal.

[@RockPaperTreasures]

Tutorials!! I wanna see you do a cover! Love the journal! By the way, I'm finishing up a journal heavily inspired by you - your digitals and some sewing - it was hard! Lol!

[@NiktheBooksmith]

Hello! oh goodness, I can hardly wait to see what you've done =)

[@susankruger9458]

[@LeslieAbrahamRichmondON]

Nik, I'm always so impressed and inspired by your work. I've made your lapbook for my 7 year old granddaughter, and I thought she may be a bit too young. SHE LOVED IT! I also thought she would stuff it away in a closet after the love wore off. I'm told (she lives far away) that she still flipps through it at 9 yrs old. Here is my thought. I'd love to make a journal of the style above annually. Kind of "A year in the life of Amelia - 2021". However the little girl vibe just isn't there. How do I connect the Junk Journal Aesthetic with a little girl vibe? I love the mini books that so many crafters make, but the expense of a full pack of decorative card stock is prohibitively expensive - Graphic 45 is $30-40 bucks!. (we're in Canada so imagine about 1 and a half times the US cost or there abouts). I'd love to see your take on something like this. Cheers! Keep posting, I'll keep enthusiastically watching!

[@brownbabycraftaholic]

Nicole I just get excited when I see a "nournal" video from you... LOL.. hilarious! Love your style of books and this one especially, love the idea of the hi-bred as that way I can use up my designer papers. I'd love to see tutorials or even a process videos of how you create your journals. Our country was under the British colony until 1981 so we have similar culture and we drink our tea with cream and sugar and its all that! LOL... YES! You crack me up... Tfs :-) {{hugs}}, Steff

[@kimmieRH05]

Great journal!! Happy Holidays!!🎄🎉

[@deemoore328]

Nicole.. this is the video.. can you explain how you did the 'tiered' cards. I thought of doing that but cannot figure out how to layer them. Thanks Love this journal your showed.

[@heatherbeavers9733]

Lovely work! Can I ask about your book plates? Do you make them or buy them? What company? Thanks for your time!

[@MRVICTORCRAFTER]

LOVE IT!

[@NiktheBooksmith]

Thanks!

[@nessamargaret]

I was thinking about buying a journal like this to use it as a model for me to get ideas/inspiration. Is that a good idea?

[@poetspice]

Nice book!

[@NiktheBooksmith]

[@CraftingVicky]

[@CraftingVicky]

[@MeeganSullivanArt]

Hi Nik, love your work & want to know what you charge for a journal like this. I’m in Australia and would love to get a journal from you.

[@63artemisia63]

There’s a piece attached to a page that opens from the top and bottom and is secured with a magnet. What is that called? I’d like to find a tutorial. Hey! Maybe YOU have done one! Thanks!

[@melissatest7963]

Yes tutorials ..Please..
