junk journal ideas & inspiration: FLIP THROUGH IDEA-OLOGY BOOKLET FOLIO

[@nancymandel]

Luise, "in my eyes" is a totally normal English-language idiom. Who on earth told you otherwise? You don't need to apologize for it. (Signed, an American friend)

[@heidiandres1701]

“in my eye” .. this is Perfectly normal terminology! Thanks, Nancy, for pointing this out. 🤨

[@londaedwardsrau3245]

Yup...what she said...absolutely 💯 normal.

[@NatallieP1]

"In my eyes" is a perfectly normal English expression. It clearly means, "from my perspective." Your English is wonderful. ❤From 🇨🇦

[@tharp769]

THANK YOU! I thoroughly agree.💗

[@jamakrueger7460]

I agree. Tyfs. Your English has improved very very much!!!!!!!!

[@kristinaadams7203]

Your English is perfect. Please do not let people ʻcorrectʻ you. Remember, the English spoken in Great Britain has many variations - and that area is small. The United States is vast and English varies from coast to coast and north to south. Now, think about Australia and New Zealand, sometimes those wonderful people seem to speak a different language. Pronunciation and word usage are variable, but we understand each other and the nicest among us do not correct others. Your slight accent and delightful voice add so much charm to your videos. Please do not let those who wish to correct you spoil who you are, you are a great teacher who is fluent in two languages, at least. Most Americans speak only English, so you have a great advantage.

[@priscillamontoya]

I like it when you say "in my eyes". I like all the little English bending you do. It's what makes us love your videos. We know what you mean, and it makes your video endearing and unique. ❤

[@btracey]

I so agree. Use the English that comes naturally to you, we all understand what you mean. And your words are part of you. No need to change it❤😊

[@amandagarcia7622]

Love your work. “In my eyes” and “in my opinion” are interchangeable so don’t worry! You are a great teacher.

[@denisepiekarski4159]

In my eyes is perfectly acceptable! Don't stress, my friend. It's correct and a clear expression of what you're trying to say. ❤

[@denisepiekarski4159]

The real question is " is Luisa normal?" The answer is no! Luisa is extraordinary. Thank heavens!

[@machellesnow4214]

I agree with you. Luise is amazing and extraordinary. We love ya Luise. Just be you Or just do you. Lol.

[@tharp769]

😂 Perfect! "Normal" is highly over-rated... & boring.😉

[@luiseheinzl]

Hehe.... Thank you so much!

[@katfyte]

“In my eyes” is an often used English expression. It just means, the way I see it. You’re using it correctly.

[@riehlcool61]

I agree about in my eyes! Don’t change that! It’s you😊

[@KalynellMS]

I am constantly in awe of your talent and your command of the English language. Oh my gosh. Keep doing you. You are wonderful.

[@beckyh5960]

Whatever Grammar police told you that to say in my eyes is improper is wrong! It is fine to use that phrase. You do wonderful at your English and the fact that you take the time to do these videos in English so we can enjoy your work is very much appreciated. Love your makes!❤

[@sandypeppers6861]

Just want to say this: I am so grateful that you take the time to make videos in English. I know you don’t have to. I started watching your channel about a year ago and have never had an issue with your English. I enjoy your way of thinking/talking/teaching, your persistence and humor in all you do. There is an artist I used to follow because I admired her work, but she stopped making her videos in English and my enjoyment diminished so much , that I finally unsubscribed. So, I appreciate your efforts in trying to better your English, if it’s for your own fulfillment, but, “in my eyes”, and to my ears, there is no need. I appreciate you as you are.

[@staceyrivera475]

Luise so thankful that you share your art, creativity and passion for what you do. I am a forever fan and always get so excited when you put out a new video. It’s like Christmas. Stay who are and shine. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

Luise, your command of the english language is phenomenal, don't change a thing! TFS 😊

[@risamateo8003]

Such a beautiful make! Your courage to step away from "normal" is what makes your work so inspiring, in my eyes 😉

[@rhodanicholson5018]

You are amazing….a born teacher……I watch all of your videos ……and thank you for sharing your talents and your creative ideas!,,,,,,,

[@denisehennix]

I personally love hearing you say “in my eyes”. I have started saying it in my conversations 😊 You are super inspirational, and highly intelligent. TFS, as always ❤

[@claudiabusbee8603]

Love the variety of colors. From muted to vibrant. Totally unexpected, cohesive & adds fluidity to the entire journal.

[@mickansj334]

There are so many funny things in the journal. Love it

[@vellacardwell7663]

I love the pink!!! You are a genius no matter what you do… everything you do is absolutely amazing !!!! ❤

[@beccaL9]

I agree with all the others that "in my eyes" is perfectly acceptable to say. I have been watching you for awhile but your moving to Germany series has gotten me attached to you! I find myself smiling as I watch and listen - as I did through this vid! I love your techniques and how you clearly explain them. Thank you :))) You inspire me!!!

[@christinecrow1410]

Luise, Screw them other people that say crap. Speak like you want to. I love your English. ❤

[@tharp769]

Preach, sister! YES!! 👏👏👏

[@claudiabusbee8603]

I agree with what Nancy said. It’s absolutely correct and common use of the phrase: “in my eyes.” Being fluent in 2 languages is a gift. You speak English very, very well and you have an expansive vocabulary. Good job! No apologies necessary. ❤

[@annemillion1501]

This is one of the most awesome makes I have seen. Please don't feel it's necessary to apologize for any of your English. You speak much better than half the Americans I know. As for your question about does anyone else hate a page one day and love it the next? I do. Sometimes I have to take a break from a page to see that it really wasn't bad at all.

[@deolindarhoads5381]

I love those bright colors in the book.

[@robinknutson8765]

The color choices intensity and brightness are a welcome surprise In can just sit back and take the entire layout in “In my Eyes” it is a perfect juxtaposition, !

[@sherrijones3279]

I’m absolutely in love with this project as I am with all your projects. I appreciate the duller verses brighter contrast and the way you used it. It was done perfectly. Keeps my eyes moving but not overwhelmed. Each page creates curiosity and anticipation. Well done! Thank you for sharing. Also please just be you. Your interpretation of the English language is as good as most English speaking people. I’m impressed with how well you speak English and your willingness to repeat what you have already done for German speaking people.

[@bobbiwest6625]

❤ I do always take notes. The folio looks great. I do like the color variations you made and all of your ideas here. Take care, be safe. Happy creations to you.

[@sbonhamleo]

I love the way you speak. Do not apologize for your words. “In my eyes “ is perfectly acceptable. ❤❤❤

[@lorihilgart7243]

We use "in my eyes" very often! There is nothing wrong with using that phrase at all. You go ahead and use it freely!

[@TheBeckyb2007]

I like when you say "in my eyes" also!!!

[@rhodanicholson5018]

Or as Tim would say “You do You”. Please tune out the criticism….

[@1wngsfn]

You’re amazing as an artist and a person. Other people should strive to be the same. Love you and your work!❤

[@joycemccullough7856]

So much inspiration and awesome techniques!!! I will have to watch this again and take notes. Thanks so much for sharing. You are an incredible artist! Tim Holtz is lucky to have you as a maker. 🤩🤩🤩🤎

[@DeniseS-6867]

'In my eyes' you are fabulous, love the folio💙🪻🩷

[@myrnadahl105]

I love the color choices and the intensity of them. Thank you for sharing. This is a wonderful project.

[@loram.9070]

I really like the muted colors with the vibrant color splotches. It feels like a junk journal and an art journal. It’s pleasing and fun. It’s a bit of whimsy. I love the corners you have done.

[@leahwebb9622]

I like in my eyes like you say it..makes me smile. You do such magnificent work

[@heyjude85]

You are an incredibly and beautifully unique artist! Please stop apologizing for your speech! "In my eyes" is your unique signature expression and is perfect english. It is beloved! (There was no need for correction.) So carry on!❤

[@tharp769]

I love EVERYTHING about this journal.🤩 So many new & unique techniques. Just gorgeous.💗 I think... No, I know... Scorched Timber is my new favorite color!😍 It's just the perfect worn, aged tone of greenish-gray brown. It's perfectly "vintage".😉 But one of my most favorite pieces is the circular "broken window".😱 The way you have it sewn in is just waaay too cool! I literally "gasped" with excitement when you flipped to the page. I love it.💗💗💗

[@FrappsScraps]

I love this book and especially enjoy all of the pops and hints of color. I think you did a great job of bringing it all together ❤

[@christinecrow1410]

This is a wonderful pocket folio, Luise. Thank you, i finally could watch the whole thing. ❤❤❤

[@shellyt9620]

This is so lovely. I look forward to your videos, it really helps me visualize how the products work together. You’re such an inspiration to us all.

[@lizrogers5618]

I love this folio and your combination of colors is on point! Your creativity is amazing! Such wonderful ideas! The way it is all tied together is superior.

[@marleenpeters]

It’s a lovely journal. I love the color combination. Have a nice day

[@Carolinebailey-fu9eg]

I am English and I say " in my eyes " all the time 😊

[@hollyAmber44]

So creative, love this ! It’s so amazing. About the 40 min mark you ask if we would be interested in a tutorial using the strips - YES please!😊

[@debbiehaynes6038]

No need to apologize for saying "in my eyes"...it makes you, you! We all know what you mean...❤

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

Love the journal, a lot work and time went into that journal, its gorgeous, enjoy your day.

[@cherylparish1375]

So very well done! Love love love the outside spine! So many wonderful moments within the journal. Such a treasure!😊

[@ddmattin]

“In my eyes” this folio is full of only-Luise details that are spectacular!

[@BarkingGriffon]

I love that you say ‘in my eyes’ - I love listening to people from other places and listening to how they speak and how they tell their stories! Differences make us interesting and wonderful! You creations are absolutely amazing- you inspire me everyday! 🎉

[@sabrinaoilworks]

Your use of color is perfect. Seems like you tried really hard to get everything to coordinate. As an artist I just love applying bright colors. You handled it beautifully!

[@buzziekelly6683]

Wow! What more can I say? So many great ideas. I'm always so impressed with foreigners who speak English. Thank you for sharing. Just amazing.

[@tharp769]

American English is my "Mother language". Most Americans can't even speak proper English. Lol I wish I knew a second language as fluently as Luise.💗

[@machellesnow4214]

Luise I love your folio and I get the connection of the softer and more intense colors. I love the colors. Definitely draws you in to explore further. And don't worry about your English as everyone has said, we know what you mean and how you speak is your genuine self. And we love ya just as you are.

[@magdaleenjacobs3172]

I just adore your way to create... you are truly gifted! I love this beautiful journal! ❤

[@wendymitchell7763]

I love your”in my eyes”. Don’t change it. It’s lovely.

[@tam258]

Your work as always is superb - your English and delivery is fantastic! Thank you for sharing 🫶

[@robinknutson8765]

You are wonderful.

[@theplumcreekbooksmith]

Yes for the tutorial!!! Thanks! Love everything you do!! 💜💜💜

[@jeannetimme7337]

When you turned the page to the turquoise and yellow, I literally gasped! So gorgeous!

[@angelajoy4829]

I really like all the different colors, especially since it is a surprise when you turn the page and find the beautiful turquoise!

[@ladawnabooze]

Wow, this is such a great piece of work. You are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your life 🙏 & creativity. ❤

[@susiescrapbook6728]

I love it when you say, in my eyes, I totally get the meaning and it makes complete sense to me.

[@lauragaudry3402]

Love the flow of colours…like finding a little jewel on the page. In my eyes, your English is beautiful. Don’t ever stop being you! Hugs and blessings, 🤗❤️🇨🇦

[@catrinadunn9529]

I wouldn’t change a single thing! I absolutely love the way you talk and it is that and the amazing creativity you have that has always kept you my FAVORITE artist! ❤❤

[@cindyb1481]

I enjoy watching your videos so much and they are so helpful! I am grateful for the time you put in and all your explanations. And , yes to any or all the tutorials you offered. I mist be having a senior moment remembering and will watch this certainly more than once. Thank you so much!

[@londaedwardsrau3245]

1:02:28 that circle peephole to see the bird is perfect!

[@Thedistressedpainter]

Luise I have friends where dad was born in Austria. Love all your little detail explanations it make my work so much better. Thank you so much!

[@micheledore1973]

Funnily enough almost all the youtube journal creators are European, and if I need it closed captioning will translate. In my eyes, all of you are head and shoulders above. I need to watch this page by page over and over Fabulous ❤❤❤❤

[@KRXZY_JK]

You did an amazing job on this project! You have such a good eye for colors and textures. In my eyes, you are such a wonderful artist! It's good to know that you second guess yourself as do I. Love your videos!❤

[@cheryl7476]

Luise, I got so many fabulous ideas from you working in this fantastic booklet folio. I can’t hardly wait for all the ideology goodies to arrive tomorrow! I’m so excited to play with mine and see how it all comes together. I’m hoping some fabric in my stash will work with the tissues I’ve collected. I love Tim’s fabric but I haven’t ordered any yet, so I’ll work with what I have and not pitch a fit. Figure, I could even stamp on the fabric to give it more interest or texture. Thanks for going through this piece in such detail. I do like the punch of color within the neutral pages. I’ll have to try my hand with making a glue gun seal and adding an image and color. Yours is marvelous. Thanks, Luise.

[@kemptonwalker2117]

I love the multiple shades of pink on the page with the neutral butterfly. It is a surprise but really visually appealing.

[@btracey]

All of your unique techniques and talents are really shown off in this make. The colors really work well. Great job😊

[@annettedepete4314]

Brilliant job! TFS🌴💕

[@elizabethkeeling-carreau1873]

I love hearing you explain how you create each page and your thought process behind your decisions. It helps me to make decisions with my own pages. You are one of my remote craft buddies across the world. 🤗🇨🇦🤗

[@megmiranda9480]

Your English is so good, never apologize for it. And the rew phrases that are not quite those of a native speaker are very charming. I really liked your vibrant pops of color both the turquoise and raspberry. They bring out the more muted colors. I can't wait to see what your "ah ha" moment was. Meg

[@jackiehorn3724]

Don’t worry about your English. It is great! We are such a diverse and multicultural country here with languages and idioms from all over the world. Plus just differences in speech that are regional almost a language unto themselves. Then of course the multiple Native American languages we have here. So, you should not worry. Your accent and way of speaking the English language are very very welcome with open arms and a big hug. There are many Americans who do not speak English at all sadly. So, you are perfect Doing great!

[@Ms.W529]

personally, I like it when you say, “in my eyes”. Nothing wrong with that at all. I’m a native English speaker.

[@InHappinessandDistress]

It is marvellous! I bought this booklet, I will be so lucky to even make 1% of this. You are so clever and funny and skilful 💕

[@katebentley7302]

I love the colours, especially the strong ones. The combination with neutrals is great.❤

[@betinakroner7777]

You’re amazing Luise!!!!!!

[@matildaenlund6679]

❤

[@jackiehorn3724]

Oh. That journal is grunge deliciousness!!

[@BeverlynGuerpo]

Amazing video you continue to amaze me!

[@janemelohn509]

Please don’t stop saying “in my eyes”! ❤❤❤

[@denisepiekarski4159]

I love what you did with the colors. I can definitely see the connection between the pages.

[@kemptonwalker2117]

Your work is always so inspiring, thank you for explaining your thought process . Your videos always make me want to try new techniques.

[@Carmangeddon]

I love this! I love where your brain goes in these artistic adventures! I enjoy the happy mistakes .. I make something and get frustrated, but when I go back am kind of amazed at it and am surprised that I made it! LOL Great share and defiantly gave some inspiration!

[@fionalanham6831]

Hi Luise I love every single page 😊.

[@Gabby2057]

I love all your work and the pops of color are just perfect. Your makes are so inspiring. Thanks for the new ideas... especially the making of holes look in the cover.

[@debrak5314]

Love the journal!

[@sue_nz_kiwi2520]

My point of view, in my mind, thru my eyes, in my eyes. Surely we understand that they all mean the same thing... English may not be your first language Luise, but I never have any trouble understanding you. Sending greetings from New Zealand

[@sharioneill3105]

I loved the color transitions you made! It helps me stretch my imagination. It’s easy to pick a few colors and stick to only those. I think it makes the journal so much more fun and exciting. I love your sense of humor, your work and the way you teach!

[@RegenaWallace-ri1ds]

Love it

[@craftbird1]

This is a lovely surprise today. I am under the weather and this has cheered me up no end.x I love your use of colour.

[@denisepiekarski4159]

Your shaker page resembles a pond with the color and shimmer!

[@stacycobbartist]

Luise, you asked about the problematic too pink page. Yes, I have done projects that at first, I was less than happy with...then given time and separation from them, I see them, and think, "Oh that's interesting!" Or "wow, That's better than I thought. In fact, it's genius!" Hahaha I liked the pink because, 1)it was an unexpected use of color from you and 2) it's very attractive, I think.❤

[@alliemathewson4065]

My sweet friend, please keep being YOU, we understand you and know what you are saying...do not become too "American"....LOL. The cover material is called Canvas. The tie closure looks like twill tape (not to be confused with sticky tape. I love your pops of color, especially the turquoise!! I love pink, however, it was a no for me..... I will hear nasty comments about that (not by you), but you did ask. Yes, my craft friends tell me that they hate a page, but then go take a break, come back, and take another look...and love the same page! It often happens if you are doing something different (a different color, layout, style, etc). What you are feeling is completely normal. I LOVED the Folio. I learned some new tips and tricks. I have to get the folio now!! !Q: HAVE YOU DONE A VIDEO OF YOUR NEW CRAFT STUDIO YET......OR ARE YOU STILL IN THE RECONSTRUCTION STAGE? I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO SEE IT COMPLETED!! Love & Hugs Sweetie xxxx

[@luiseheinzl]

Thank you!! I'm still in the renovation mode, but as soon as my studio is done, I am going to film a tour!

[@annemiekeoosterhuis]

Lovelovelove it.... ❤ I have bought the booklet folio and put it away for another time and now I can't find it anymore 🙄 I was just using the tape when you started explaining about it, love the vintage look of it. You have given me so much more ideas and inspiration, I thank you from the bottom of my ❤ 😊

[@debrak5314]

In my eyes is basically saying in my opinion! Some people really need to get a life! Keep saying it how you want!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

I like when you say "in my eyes" it is clear what you mean. I miss hillarium and wish I had never told you the right word for that. 😉 You are always very understandable in English. If I were to even try to learn your language, I'd never be as good as you are speaking English. This journal is phenomenal and fabulous. Love&hugs ❣ p.s. I think I started using "freak my freak" recently; I think that's how you say it 😆
