LAPBOOK PROCESS VIDEO | JUNK JOURNAL

[@elizabethkerckhoff1259]

Hi Rachel! Your creating is wonderful! Your right , so many options,opportunities and supplies can work in this tri-fold lap-book. I just wanted to tell you to take some foil wrap (thick)and run it through your trimmer several times. Until you notice the ease of cutting your foil. If you don't have thick foil, just fold it in half or three times. It seems like your tiny blade is dull enough that you keep ripping your paper. I do this with my trimmers and it works every time. I can now cut old book pages and magazine paper. Have a great day! ~Liz~

[@stitchwithrachel]

Ooo thank you for such a great tip Liz!! I will certainly try that later x

[@jamiejunkjournals9316]

Oh never hide your pj's! Its not like ur at the grocery store...you are in the comfort of your own home and doing what makes you happy....you must be comfy when doing happy things right?? 😁 I've just started making folios...been making journals for years but thought I'd give these a try and im loving the process. Thanks for sharing your great ideas with us!

[@tuthillg]

Rachel, you are a wizard at constructing these lapbooks with all of the tucks and folds! Wow! TFS the inspiration and creativity!

[@stitchwithrachel]

Thank you Gail, glad you liked it. I just get into the zone of adding everything.

[@suruha2306]

I live in an old, old house, that is drafty and cold! I wear whatever keeps me warm! LOL You're cute! I love your lapbook! Thank you for sharing your talent!!

[@stitchwithrachel]

You do have to wear whatever you can to keep warm.. only my hands get cold when crafting! Thank you for a lovely comment xx

[@junkjournalgirl]

G'day Rachel, from Downunder. This is great inspiration to try myself. Thanks for the tip of the small stitches to hold the signature together. I love sewing and sewing them in with my machine is going to be my new go-to when using thin cardboard etc for covers :)

[@craftydawk.janettedawkins7516]

Wow so many flips flaps and tucks. Fantastic xx

[@berniefairs55]

Fab...love all the flips, folds and tucks!!

[@AngelaKerrDesigns]

Loved this tutorial. Very inspiring. Going to hold on to all the Primark bags etc that the family get now. Going to need a spare room for all the bits and pieces lol! Thank you again Rachel. I love your work! 😘

[@stitchwithrachel]

Hi Angela, you'd be amazed the amount of things i hold on and always look at my trash because i throw it out with my junk journal eyes 😂 thank you so much for watching my videos and leaving multiple lovely comments, that helps inspire me to keep going xx

[@lililijo]

This is great. I have been collecting bedding packaging and Primark bags, this is a good idea. So will attempt to use up my paper scraps the same. Loads of Amazon packages as well. I like the way you have speeded up the video with a voice over. Fun to watch.

[@stitchwithrachel]

Good luck in making your journal, use up those scraps 👍 i ak very glad that you enjoyed the video!

[@trenitymeridith2064]

Great idea way to follow your intuition enjoyed watching this thank you for sharing

[@pamketron]

Hi Rachel - Love watching your thought process as you create these lapbooks. I’m a new subbie. Came over from Chantale’s channel. It remarkable how you just add these things and it turns out wonderful. I would have a mess!!! Will have to try this method but only after watching you. Thank you for the inspiration and showing how you lay out these pages. Awesome job!

[@kathleenseligmytatterednto8560]

First of all the dressing gown didn't bother me at all because I love journaling in mine! Second I love all the tricks folds and flips! Third brilliant idea to use the bedding packaging. Loved it all. Great job!

[@elvisisabigsweetie]

This is awesome! I really do love this style of journal and appreciate you sharing your technique! You are so sweet, thanks! Hugs, Debra!

[@deserthorses5]

Very interesting, Rachel! I love making both interactive and tri-fold books.

[@suethewino]

wow very creative, I love your ideas. Amazing how you fit everything together. Thanks for teaching the process.

[@elysiawilby4132]

Hi, so many great ideas, together with the practical guide of how you sew it all together (which is half the battle of any project!). Thanks so much for sharing. P.S. I think we all craft in our p.j's at one time or another! X

[@DarlaW]

Awesome!! Yes, it's very inspiring to see all the different ways to do the flips and flaps. It really makes for an interesting interactive journal. BTW ...your camera angle is great! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@stitchwithrachel]

I am very glad you found this video inspiring, that fills me with joy! Thank you for watching Darla x

[@fludrbywest3886]

Rachel! Your brilliant❣️ it was touch and go for me there for a moment ❣️🙃but you brought me around when it came all together😍👍🏻🎉🎉😱🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼, I really like the way you tamed that wild pile to a great (what my interpretation of) the “Secret Journal adventure”🤣 Thank you for warming my creative ❣️

[@deserthorses5]

Rachel, I just finished my interactive journal, based on yours here. HOWEVER, I nearly broke my machine (and #16 needle) trying to sew through my 2nd signature, so I took out 3 scrapbook papers and I was able to sew it in. I'll send you the link as soon as I upload it to You Tube. While i LOVE making interactive journals (this is my 3rd one), they ARE a LOT OF WORK!!!!! Ha, ha!

[@deserthorses5]

And, I have a Brother PRW machine. I've never had problems until today sewing papers.

[@stitchwithrachel]

Omg! I am glad that your machine is okay. Urgh bet that must have been annoying!.. i am sorry about that. I usually only sew through a couple of pages plus the cover when I do it. I do look forward to seeing it x

Rachel, I haven't watched the whole video yet. I want to get my supplies together and make one with you. What are the measurements of the initial foldover piece...the cover? Thank you!

[@stitchwithrachel]

Oh dear i am not sure of the initial measurements, it was probably as long as a sheet of paper with a 2/3 inch spine.. sorry to be vague!!
