Dear Barbara, I had so much fun and it was pure joy to visit you in Vienna. Such a beautiful and gorgeous city … wonderful. And spending some hours talking and laughing with you was amazing. I am thankful you took the time for me. 🥰 Watching „honey_one“ in your hands handled with love and getting decorated is such a pleasure. 🥰 Sending a big and warm hug! 🤗

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much Hanni! I treasure Honey One so much and so enjoyed your visit and connecting with you! ❤️🥰

[@lucyfanning7496]

I laughed as soon as you said," I have Plans". I love the way you embellish your precious memorabilia. Love this colour scheme.40 years ago I spent some time in the Middle East, so now think it is time to dig out those photos and preserve them in a journal. As always thank you for the inspiration.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Lucy! Yes, make a journal! 😃❤️

[@dawnspruill1914]

This is much more than a snack. When I think of this series, I think of Soul Food. See definition below. This series “celebrates your ingenuity and skill.” As always, I love this spread! SOUL FOOD: the foods and techniques associated with the African American cuisine of the United States. The term celebrated the ingenuity and skill of cooks who were able to form a distinctive cuisine despite limited means.

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw thank you Dawn! ❤️

[@mariespaperlab7186]

I just returned from a 14 day road trip across the southern states of the USA from east coast to west coast. I collected items and tons of photos. Spent the weekend with a friend junk journaller in Arizona and we hit the thrift stores also. 🥰

[@49dragonflies]

Sounds awesome! 😃

[@pambotter365]

Barbara what a gorgeous picture. Love those lamps and then to have the dangles. Beautiful. Your Egyptian trip sounds wonderful. TFS ! ❤️

[@pamelak.4794]

Hi Barbara. Thank you for another beautiful page design. What a great way to preserve a memory of a visit, using their brochure of where you went. More often than not, my brochures inevitably end up in the trash a short time after visits, but you have inspired me to put them to good use. What a thrill it must have been, to get to vacation in Egypt. Very cool! I especially loved how you incorporated the coin dangles that your husband found for you. Beautiful pocket page! Enjoy your day!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Pamela! I’m happy you will use your brochures in the future! 😃❤️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Beautiful! It’s so fun to see how you are celebrating your vacation. ❤️

[@Samreen0987]

Wow such a dainty memory captured! I love whenever you document things! You portray it like magic in your journal! You have inspired me to the fullest to try something similar! 😊🌻

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you my friend! ❤️

[@grahamfox931]

Morning Barbara, love, love your "Egyptian" page. I am soooo interested in the history of Egypt, especially the Ancients. Their culture and way of life is soooo very interesting. Thank you for a very lovely and satisfying snack, am very satisfied, and so am going to rush into my Art Room and CREATE!!!!!! You always inspire and encourage me and I LOVE it. Enjoy your Sunday, hope you are safe and well, and, as always, Blessings and hugs from Cape Town. Diana

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks again Diana! I love that you feel inspired after my snacks! Have fun! 😃❤️

[@nancynorris9822]

I love snack time with Barbara! 😄. So creative! TFS🤗

[@tonyashatley5040]

Very pretty! Lots of color today-fun! I love how you crumbled and sanded, definitely something I would do! This is such a great way to save memories!!! 🥰

[@bonnietyler5338]

I love the page you made today. The stamp was so beautiful and it looks like you had a very good time on your vacation. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@anettebrogaard]

I always print pictures in black and white, and then sand them with sandpaper. It's a super effect. As usual, your project is beautiful and inspiring. THANKS

[@1771bubba]

I kind of chuckled when you started distressing your flyer. Especially when you made the small tears. That’s what my bits and bobs always look like when I come home from a trip and I empty my purse. Lol. Loved it. It also made me realize that when I get home, I should celebrate my crumpled ephemera. I absolutely love this Journal. I love all the uneven pages. Different sizes and kinds of papers sewn together. Oh and I almost forgot…. I don’t have my circle punches. They’re still in storage with all my other treasures. But I do have this envelope making board. I love the shape it makes and it will keep me happy until the day I get back into my tiny house and I can unpack. Lol. Thanks for sharing Egypt with us!♥️♥️♥️

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Angela! Yes, use your crumpled ephemera in your journal! 😃❤️

[@lauriesmith372]

Nice to see you using bright colors. 😻

[@49dragonflies]

😃

[@carolschneider8589]

Barbara, these colors are magnificent!! You always surprise me with your creative ideas. I'm inspired!! So beautiful. Thanks for another cool journal idea. I always enjoy these snack bits. Blessings, Carol Schneider

[@kathrynhelm4176]

Love the colors and how you were able to find complimentary trims...it looks great. 👍❤️

[@luiseheinzl]

Oh wow! That's a wonderful memory! 😍

[@caroltanzi29]

Barbara: WOW! Another great page! Carol from California

[@lillybullen5374]

The stamp that Eman made just for you is amazing! Obviously unique, and so special.

[@victoriafortunato1669]

Hi Sweety, a beautiful spread you made…love turquoise and how you assembled the coins 👍🏻😍👍🏻😍 Have a wonderful Sunday 💝💝💝

[@darlenecalander335]

Another fantastically inspiring episode👌! Loved the picture of the beautiful Oriental lamps and your additions of the pretty lace and little journal hidden away in the pocket. So many creative ideas to perfectly preserve your treasured memories of your Egyptian vacation. Thank you for sharing your experiences! So happy you were able to go and have such a good time. 💖

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Darlene! ❤️

[@mmonr]

Love that you are making pages that will remind you of your special visit to Egypt.

[@claudiacooper1934]

I'm with you in really liking that opening! when I first saw a couple of artists having it in their works I wondered how it came about and finally realized it came drom the envelope punch board. No, I do not particularly want to invest in another gadget but I have found a way to get a similar result. Mark the middle of your paper on the opposite side, make a triangle by having the midpoint be your apex, Cut out the triangle and then use a corner rounder on the two points of the triangle. The only difference is that with the envelope punch all 3 points are rounded and perhaps there's a way to do this manually with the third point; meanwhile it's "close enough for jazz" in my mind.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Claudia! Great tip on getting a similar effect! 😃👍🏻❤️

[@dinagallal8246]

Really beautiful dear 😍😍 the easiest way to grunge a new looking paper is covering it with tea bag paper it makes look so vintage without covering the picture ❤️

[@49dragonflies]

Yes, that’s also a great method! 😃👍🏻

[@roksannastephens4375]

Lovely hand made stamp

[@prof.mommyarty]

Ah my favourite morning munchies! Gorgeous lampshade😍😍😍. Lol I use my punch board for making pretty corners on my tags🙊. I thoroughly approve of beating up the leaflet😄.

I really enjoyed this episode of junk journal snacks. I got some excellent ideas for how to use photos and the many things I bring home from my travels. Your page is lovely. I always look forward to your junk journal snacks. They go perfectly with my morning cup of tea. (So, SO much better than the news does!) What a gorgeous journal Hanni made for you and how wonderful that you two were able to meet!

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you Kathy! I’m happy you found some inspiration! ❤️☺️

[@danutashayler34]

Really like the lovely collage built over your captured photograph. The yellow/gold gem you added over the actual image in the hanging shade is a beauty idea. Thank you for this bitesize tutorial.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Danuta! ❤️

[@toniscott1029]

Love how you used the flier as a junk journal!

[@elizabethtanti7884]

You inspire me to put my memories into a journal. Thank you!

[@49dragonflies]

Awesome! Have fun! 😃❤️

[@patticlark9321]

Thank you so much for your continuing inspiration ❣️You have helped me so much. Where I live we’re starting to get lots of this ❄️🌨 and that makes me want to curl up and junk journal. (Also crochet) Have a wonderful day ☃️♥️

[@maryjones107]

I love you to I am glad that I watch your channel keep up the great work 👍

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaw thanks so much Mary! ❤️

[@susanmorales8675]

What a pretty page and the little journal you put in the pocket was so cute. I get a little nervous when I see the sanding block come out and then you crumple up the paper. It always turns out so well though. Sometime soon I will get brave and try this myself. Thank you Barbara.

[@scrapbooking100]

Your right it’s beautiful, love the teal

[@melindastclair]

Those buttons show the Eye of Ra - Sun God of Egypt!

[@lucy7b]

Thank you

[@LauraMe...]

Great ideas! I would totally sand the flyer too!

[@kathleenhansenownerofkamah9064]

There is a punch with just the notch and corner punch on it. Made by the same company. I have one.

[@49dragonflies]

Awesome! 😃👍🏻

[@lauragaudry3402]

Love the crinklely sound of your journal! I think it is lots of fun taking something new and giving it a vintage look just like your pamphlet. Hugs and blessings, 🤗❤️🇨🇦🎄

[@gerdy-annevandeursen8014]

They used to sell a small punchboard in Action with a separate punch. I use just the punch. Maybe they still have it.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for letting me know! I can check after lockdown.

[@chrissy24-7]

Love this I was hoping you would dangle the coins from the lace but it's beautiful anyway, of course! 💙

[@bernicechiniborch2600]

Beautiful page and a beautiful photo! 🇨🇦

[@sweetbeedesignsco]

Love how it turned out, so pretty 🥰

[@rhondamueller1651]

Love the mini junk journal! 😊

[@artzology]

So beautiful and creative! Love it!

[@sandielike4420]

Liebe Barbara. Tolle Seite und Thema. Ich bin aber tatsächlich mit meinen Urlaubserinnerungen so, dass ich die gesammelt in ein Traveljournal dann packe, so verstreut in mehrere Journals wäre jetzt nicht so meins. Wolltest du nicht sowieso mal ein komplettes Ägyptenjournal gestalten? In diesem cut out Book für Collagen sind ja auch Pharaos usw drin. Liebe Grüße und Happy Sunday Sandra

[@49dragonflies]

Danke Sandra! Ich würde definitiv auch ein Travel Journal machen, aber es waren kannst nur 6 Tage und ich hatte nicht genügend Sachen für ein ganzes Journal. Ich mache definitiv noch ein Ägypten Journal! 😃❤️

[@cynthiarollins3949]

Love those colors💕

[@hankejoosen4029]

Thank you ! Beautiful ideas again 🤩

Hi Barbara, love, love, love the finished page. And wow Egypt again. I bought this punch which is a corner punch and also punches a notch from Amazon EFCO Notch and Corner Punch, Blue, 8 x 7 x 4 cm in the UK it was £7.41. Take care and stay safe. Much luv. Xx

What a gorgeous picture. What did you eat at the cafe? Why is your hubby always out of the country?

[@49dragonflies]

We didn’t eat at the cafe, I had a lemon drink ☺️. My hubby is in Egypt for business.

[@sandofthesun]

@@49dragonflies Hope I wasn’t being too personal but I hear you a lot that your hubby is gone. Why don’t you go with him more often? You seem to love it so much! 💗💗💗💗💗💗 Love and blessings.

[@49dragonflies]

@@sandofthesun it’s fine! He wasn’t supposed to be gone so much this year, but it’s been crazy. Vacation there is great, but living there is a different story, especially as a woman, and not speaking the language. Also, I have a broken ankle. But hopefully he will be home soon ☺️

[@sandofthesun]

@@49dragonflies Hi Barbara, I hope he is home soon too. You are my favorite artist and I just love your channel. You make me want to try more things. Your calming voice is so soothing. And your creations really are beautiful. I could never create like you but I aspire to do my best. I have sooooooo much journaling supplies and have only made 2 journals. Prayers for quick healing. Thank you so much for sharing your art with us. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
