Eva, I remember that you were the first person I saw on KZbin creating lapbooks. You son(s) showed you how to make them. You were so stinkin' adorable, with your charming accent, relatable enthusiasm, and seemingly non-stop energy. I was so intrigued and began following you, watching tutorials, etc. You have always been my favorite, not only because you were my first journal/crafting subscription, but you became a friend when you donated a journal for our son-in-law's non-Hodgkins Lymphoma treatment fundraiser. You are kind, gentle, and a true leader in the Journaling and crafting community. Thanks for the tip about subscriptions since the (evil) new algorithm has been put into place. You will always be as a sister to me. And I am grateful for the joy and love you spread through crafting and for being simply Eva! ❤

[@wendyroope-vestigecreation9775]

Eva, Thank you so much for discussing your struggles with creating your works of art, which in my mind and I’m sure others, they truly are! I watch your process video’s and your flip throughs of completed items and I’m so inspired by you but also intimidated by your brilliant mind and many times I am discouraged because I feel I could never make anything as wonderful as you do. My style is a little different than yours but it’s calming to know that you also struggle with your composition and layout but in the end put out such a beautiful piece of art. To watch you and to see you assemble your journals it seems as though you just breeze through without a care in the world, which is wonderful of course if you can, but it gives hope to others to know we aren’t alone in our insecurities, etc, and that maybe, just maybe, our projects are better than what we see them to be once completed. You have one of the sweetest souls on this platform and it is always a pleasure to watch you and to listen. Thank you for sharing everything you do!!! Blessings to you always!! ❤️💐

[@TeacupAndRoses]

Every one of your words could be my own. Thank you both, for listening and reading this words from you ☕🌹💓 There really is a lot behind the scenes, and people don't know. Also, add that the algorithm is affecting EVERYTHING. Here or on IG too. But the garbage of this world has so much opportunity and "relevance" to be seen! However, what is good for the soul is apparently hidden or minimized by social networks. So unfair!... Hug, Vilma

[@kathycadile6421]

I agree with you wholeheartedly. She seems to breeze through the processes and creates always fantastic journals and other projects. I wish I had half her talent for creating gorgeous journals.

[@velvetspicer1962]

Couldn't agree more!

[@lynette7848]

Hi Eva, please don't get discouraged by people's comments, unfortunately we live in a world were some people are just not content with what they get for free and will always find something to complain about. I know that you are working hard on giving us some exceptional videos that shows your special and amazing abilities with anything paperlike that end up in your hands. Thank you for all the videos that you have shared with us. People need to subscribe and click the notification bell, I have never missed any videos from the other artists to whom I have subscribed. Take care and don't change who you are to please others, you are an incredible woman with so much talent! x

[@quinbee_creates]

Yes! Thank you for explicitly stating that your projects are the result of multiple attempts, revisions, and sometimes lengthy brainstorming sessions. Newcomers often get discouraged when they see finished projects end-to-end in these channels and don't realize even the experienced creators take time and repeated attempts to get something they're happy with. For myself, I only ever work on one journal at a time because I don't have space for all the half-finished ones I would have lying around otherwise. 😆

[@sallymander1068]

I'm subscribed to many channels and have clicked on the notification button, yet, I only get about the same 5 or 6 channels which I rarely watch. I've noticed, whenever there's an update, my notifications get changed. I love process videos.

[@michellebrown7000]

Eva, you are such an inspiration. I’ve made so many journals, folios, etc. from your tutorials. Some need to understand that if this is a business for you, you have to have a way to make money. The patreon subscription platform provides that for you. Some tutorials are only shared there and that’s understandable. You’re a gem! Listen to the masses that are constantly inspired by you! Happy Crafting & TFS! Michelle/byBruton

[@CherylCadzowArt]

I just love the industrial look of this. You are brilliant. My kind of book creator.

[@BohemianCrafting]

Thank you! 😊

[@LizOttoWy]

Eva, your videos are so inspiring! I too love pockets and flips. I thank you for your authenticity, vulnerability, and bravery in doing these videos you teach us so much. I am deeply appreciative that you offer your skill and talent in English. You’re amazing! Blessed Be

[@pattirobinson7439]

As always Eva, a marvelous tutorial and project! Please don't be discouraged by others, you are sharing time for FREE. Your lovely laugh 😃 makes my day ♥. Keep your chin up and be yourself.

[@maryellenweber3545]

I cannot even to count the number of genius ideas that you come up with. I love it!

[@aminihobby-kelley]

Eva, I love this journal, but even more, I love your beautiful heart. Thank you for all you share so generously.

[@mickansj334]

I I think you make good videos and have been following you for a long time on youtube. You kind of just "make" your journals so you can understand exactly how you can do what you want. Have a good day and take care of yourself!

[@sweetbaylaurelemporium4698]

people need to click on subscribe then click “all”, otherwise you only get notified on some. I get all you videos, and enjoy them. You have an amazing imagination. Some of your tutorials i was frustrated because it seemed some important parts (to me) were edited out. I love watching your entire thought process because it is helpful to me. 💕🇨🇦

[@sunnydeborahsebastian1361]

Eva you do an amazing job of putting out content fir your readers. Some may not know to click on the category “videos” to see ALL of the ones you make. Also some projects are long processes and take several videos to show. Your creations are multi layered and that’s what makes them so interesting and stand out from the crowd. I watch your videos over and over to copy the process and now I can make projects like yours. Of coarse, we all put our own twist in what we learn. And I’m watching you learn as you go, also. You’re not intimidating to me but you are a delightful teacher, mentor and an inspiration. You are so free with sharing your knowledge and techniques. You’re one of my absolute favs! Forever, your loyal subscriber and follower.

[@candystickley3368]

I wasn't getting them for a while. I'm getting them again. Thank you so much. I get a lot of inspiration from you. I love your videos.

[@amyjones8613]

👌 wow 👌 I haven't heard of junk journals before. What can I say besides I love it! The look is really good and you have such a passion for this craft.

[@robindudleyhowes]

Eva I am so sorry that some people made those comments. It takes so much time to make videos let alone do process videos. I love how your mind works and I for one appreciate you and all the time and effort you spend to provide inspiration and new ideas.

[@NoYBW]

Eva, I want you to know that I started junk journaling because of YOU! Your video about making a journal from atlas pages and lace was the first I ever saw on this craft and you inspired me. Unfortunately, I lost you on KZbin for many months and only recently found you again due to another KZbinr mentioning your channel. I'm so grateful to you for the content you share. Thank you! 🥰

[@kykategray]

Sweet Eva, YOU are a gift to this community, so freely sharing your ideas and tips with us all. Your talent is astounding and I appreciate you sharing more about your process. I am a slow maker…it takes me forever to finish anything because I have so many ideas that it is often difficult to settle on what is the right thing for each project. Thank you for all of your incredible videos. Hugs from Ky, USA.

[@BohemianCrafting]

Thank you so much for your beautiful words. I am so happy you enjoyed this video💖 and yes I am same with my journals, it always takes long time to finish it but it's always so much fun. Have a great day xx

[@SuchAClassicGirl-dx2ip]

I’m so glad to hear your timeline. I’m over here thinking you’re busting these things out in days and I’m finding albums, pieces and parts I’ve made years ago and adding

[@peekmarketing]

I have been on a month long vacation in Cambodia I was not able to watch your videos. Thank you for being such a good teacher and sharing your ideas with us. Looking forward to catching up on your videos.

[@bobbie2097]

Always great to watch your videos and this is no exception. I have been receiving notifications for your tutorials and flip thrus no problem at all. Stay the way you are - refreshing and inspirational. You do not have to justify yourself to anyone. Love your work.

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

I am new to the junk journal world. I stumbled in your channel and have been binge watching them! Lol your English has really improved. But your style and talent is just amazing. And inspiring. Love it so much that become a Patreon member for your channel.

[@mimsie732]

More brilliant ideas. I love seeing the processes you go through and how it all comes together. I have seen all your KZbin videos and love the home decor ones too. Thanks Eva xx

[@MadCatLady9]

I don’t know why people aren’t getting the videos, I get every video you put out. Between the graphics and videos, you have to be constantly busy. I get more videos and digitals from you than I do several others I get. Thank you for all you do and just know that you can’t please everyone all the time. This project is amazing but then everything you do is amazing. Oh and Jacob is such a cutie!🥰

[@annheatherton]

Adore it. I love the way you create. So much freedom of expression.

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

I really really like your aesthetic!🦌💌❤️📚

[@elaurekodzielo]

Powiem tylko tyle: każda Twoja praca zachwyca mnie. Chciałabym tak tworzyć jak Ty! Twój styl jest bliski mojemu sercu ❤️. Dziękuję za lekcje, naukę, inspirację. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski, z pięknego miasta Wrocław. Ela

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

A wonderful video. Full of tips and struggles. The struggle is real. :-) I absolutely adore this journal. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@Marlydesign]

Eva, I want to let you know I do get your notifications on new video's 👍 Thank you for this amazing tutorial and sharing my channel ❤️

[@BohemianCrafting]

Thank you so much Marlies 😍

[@CoffeeandCraftswithRory]

This is the ultimate junk journal at its best!!! I'm never disappointed in your crafting ability!! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us!! Much love! 😍💖

[@SecondHandCrafter]

You have always been my”go to” for inspiration. Your projects are ALWAYS amazing. Thank you!

[@lavendergrace8143]

I love listening to your journey in to crafting. I love that fact that it brings people from all around the world together in a happy way! You speak English very well! I’m so happy I found your channel, your work in beautiful!

[@eileenmacmillan8919]

Your creations are amazing!!! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous, original works of art!

[@taylormadejournals9662]

I think you are doing awesome with your sharing and your talents and ideas you share with us all. Thank you ! XXX

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

I always love watching and listening to you. I especially love that you shared how long it takes you to finish a journal because I thought I was the only one. I usually have several going at once and sometimes get stuck or just bored with one and like to pick them up as I feel motivated to work on one. Thank you for sharing! 🥰

[@annheatherton]

We love what you do, too, Sherri. Your site was the first one I found early last year, and your projects inspired me to start creating with paper and eventually start a YT channel. 💕💕

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

@@annheatherton Wow! Thank you Ann. So nice to hear. I’ll be sure and look for your channel. 🥰

[@mariespaperlab7186]

I have dozens of these bags from when we closed out store. 👍🏼😊

[@annieo9468]

BRILLIANT use of the cord !!! (going to write that one down 😆) It solves a problem that you don't know you're going to have, until it's too late to fix it. 😄 What a relaxing experience it was, watching you put this together and listening to your chat. The end product of that j-journal was magnificent...to see what you can create from next to nothing is always amazing. I think it's really touching how cognizant you are of your followers and watchers...but you don't need to justify how much you've shared. Anyone who has watched you for any length of time KNOWS that you have generously shared more than just about any 'journal youtuber' I have ever watched (and I have watched A LOT) I've watched you for so long, I can't even remember how I came across you...but I'm sure thankful that I did. 🧡

[@opalm21]

Eva, thank you for speaking about the missing youTube videos. I have been subscribed to your channel for more than 4 years and I was receiving notifications and then about 1 year ago (maybe longer) I stopped receiving notifications. I am not sure what happened and I was wondering too if you stopped posting your wonderful instructions too, but thank you for reassuring us!!!

[@matthewflinchum5452]

I loved your easy explanation of making a fun journal. I always enjoy your fun tutorials. Have a wonderful day!❤️🙂!

[@robinishere9994]

thank u so much for this video I've been searching for awhile on KZbin for a video like this thank u again❤❤❤❤❤

[@ttmixedmediaart1155]

I myself just received this videos notification now after 2 months!! Because I've activated the bell notification for all the updates on this channel

[@BohemianCrafting]

Oh wow! See that is happening to me lately too. Better later than never right 🤩 thank you for watching xx

[@ttmixedmediaart1155]

😍💗

[@Dr.Mrs.TheMonarch]

Thank you for sharing your struggles as a creator. As I was listening, I kept thinking I do that, I do that too. lol Anyways, love your work.

[@denisehedberg7493]

I love your spine construction! I want to try your idea with brown shopping bags using a brayer! So creative and a beautiful backgroubd!

[@timegirl7737]

Absolutely Beautiful ❤️ I love your paper bag junk journal. 😍

[@renypattynama718]

Hi Eva, I love your junk journal. It is amazing what you can do with a paper bag.🤩🤩🤩 Thank you for sharing.

[@alisachristensen8105]

Love your creativity. Thanks for sharing the process. I can’t believe you’re wearing a sweater in July! It’s 109 degrees here in Texas.

[@suegillettful]

I just found your channel and I really found the way you made this journal very unique and I love all your great ideas you showed. Printing on the large shipping labels and then tearing and collating with them is a wonderful idea. Thanks for the video.

[@gaellegrassin6815]

Thank you very much, Eva, kisses from France.

[@BohemianCrafting]

Same to you!🤗

[@jeannetimme7337]

New to your channel. I'm a scrapbooks, but I love to make mini books. You have ingenious ideas - the accordion folding, cording to make room in your pockets, your cover, etc. LOVE this book!! Can't wait to see what you add to your Windows!

[@tamimccain5184]

Love this journal Eva!! It is such a pleasure to watch you work!

[@joycehill4399]

Thank you so very much for sharing your thought process with us. I really enjoy your creativity....your works of art are so, so beautiful! I love how you take plain paper and cardstock and turn it into something totally amazing! I enjoy recreating your creations....Eva, you are the best! Again, thank you for sharing.

[@ellenschwarz4945]

[@elainetowns]

I always chk your channel. so I dont miss any. I do get inspired by you .

[@joellesjournals7832]

So happy to hear that someone else also have a slow process of making journals. I have so many unfinished journals as I get a new idea I want to try out..so I have many journals at the same time on the go. I am thinking of starting to make videos at youtube just to finish them. Maybe you can give me some tip on what to think about when starting to do videos and share. Me too would love to be part of a junk journal family. No one I know is making journals so I feel quite lonely sometimes. I've been making journals for many many years now. Lovely and interesting video Eve!

[@mariahampton8551]

I love this so much. I love your videos. You are extremely creative and inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and love of art. ❤️. Blessings to you.

It was you who started me on my journey in journal making. Always wanted to make journals just like you!

[@teresemartinez6215]

I love seeing your process. Watching you use papers and paint that we can easily have access to is inspiring. So often we get caught up in wanting the newest peoducts, we forget an out being creative. My favorite journal is a made with a painted paper bag with layers of acrylic paint and stamped images.

[@januarywiebe8604]

Your work is so beautiful

[@junkjournalmama8826]

What an amazing beautiful video and journal. Thank you for being so encouraging and inspirational. So lovely, I am in awe of you!

[@DAnnsDesigns]

Shopping bags are great to work with and you have shown just how great they are. I just started using a gel plate and I am so happy with those results too. When I saw the work you did, it reminded me of using this. Very nicely put together. I will need to invest in a square punch one day. Love how everything came out. So kind of you to share with us. *Debbie*

[@theplumcreekbooksmith]

I love everything about this journal! You always inspire me Eva! Thank you! You are definitely the queen of turning junk into treasure!!! 💜💜💜

[@ambermolloy3773]

I have saved some paper bags from "Martins" the bakery here in Manchester and you have given me some great inspiration, as always. I always get all your notifications, but I don't get them from everyone I subscribe with even when I have pressed the bell icon. It is a KZbin thing I think. Some said that if you unsubscribe and then subscribe again it will work, but I've tried that before and it never worked for me. Anyway, I'm working on several journals at the same time as I sometimes get stuck and need a change of direction for a while, so it takes me a while as well to get them finished.

[@junesimonek9442]

You are the most amazing person I have ever seen.your work is the best as designing something out of all the things we would throw away.I love your accent, just listening to you.I wish I had your creative mind.Also want to know if you went to a school to learn, our or was you born with it Love you so much.Keep up the work.

[@rachelphelps6347]

I have always thought you did excellent work and was very creative! Interesting to hear about these other channels that you learned things from! l will check them out! I subscribe to many channels and I always click the notification button and the "all" part, and I have never gotten a notice about any of them. The only people I get notified from are the ones who also have blogs and you join their mailing lists. Then I get notified if they make a video. Otherwise, I just check out my favorite You Tubers and see if they have a new video. Thanks for sharing how you made this!! So neat!!

[@joannepeyton1654]

Hi Eva: You are always so sweet and energetic. Really enjoy watching and listening to you explain your creative processes. I’m in awe of your finished pieces. Appreciate all the time you put in to create a tutorial. This journal is so cool and I actually think the covers look great! Thank you so much for sharing your time and creativity. 💜😎🇺🇸

[@velvetspicer1962]
