✂️ Let’s Start A New ‘Your Creative Studio’ Journal / Use Your Supplies / Craft Along With Me ✂️

[@susanvanschuyver7900]

Lovely. I really appreciate that you don't press your subscribers to pay for a membership and you never complain about your viewers! I actually stopped watching one person that I followed for years because she started to complain in each video about how her subscribers were not doing enough for her. I know that she may have needed money for some really good reason, but the complaining was hard to take. Your videos are always a pleasure. Thank you!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Susan. I appreciate all of my viewers and I love the community we have developed over the years 💕

[@melissaoverland692]

Hi Nina, Love the front and back cover decor!!! Always great anticipation to see how you use the items in each box! Louie is so great and you can’t blame him for sitting in Toby’s bed, he is the “big brother.” And it’s his house, Toby just visits. I do hope they become friends but, cats and puppies…! Hope you all have a great weekend. 👍✌️❤️😊😸

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Melissa. We are puppy sitting again today and overnight, so keeping my fingers crossed Toby will not get too excited when he sees Louie!

[@scottcain9544]

Thanks for keeping your channel the way you have. Always look forward to your videos.

[@rivetingglance]

Your “junk” journals are works of art. Love them and how you put them together. You are incredibly talented. Thank you!❤

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you so much for your kind words 💕

[@janewebster7661]

Lovely start on a new journal. The birds are sweet to. 😋

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Nina, I really really enjoyed watching you showing us all this amazing and beautiful journal cover. The box from your creative studio is gorgeous too. I really really love ❤️ the decoration you’ve put on the front and back cover. Absolutely Stunning and Adorable too. Everything about this is amazing too. As always I adore your videos because you really do give me such inspiration too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Mags 💕 xxx

[@patriotmem2645]

How can you make it look so darn easy?!! You have such great ideas and put it all together so well. It is one of my most enjoyable parts of the day to sit and be able to watch one of your videos... thanks for that!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Awww, thank you so much 🥰

[@wendywilson1736]

Wow! That is a Lot of goodies!! And it inspires me to dig into my die cut boxes to see how I can use my pieces I've cut, and already put together. I now need to put together those pieces into ATCs, and upscaled paperclips, then maybe some cards. My mom won, and passed to me, a scrapbooking basket, and it had quite a lot of the vintage type papers, and some Thomas Kincaid papers. I actually die cut a few into flowers, birds, trees, and other natural elements. Also as mats for Christmas cards, and embellishments. . I have wiped cream or white paint on the busy prints, not to hide them, just to quiet some down. It helps, and makes them usable, for smcertain things.

[@ednamorgan7827]

Oh this is another good 'un, Nina!!! I love what you've done here and I'm so looking forward to all your lovely videos as you fill the pages. Very inspiring as always. Many thanks.

[@pamgarozzo]

Absolutely gorgeous Nina and very inspiring 🥰🤗

[@terryfrank3107]

I totally appreciate the way you manage your channel! I introduced a good friend who lives in England near you to art journaling and your channel. You are our favorite and never fail to inspire!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Awww, thank you so much 💗

[@linmims3049]

Your journal is lovely, the simplicity of it makes it beautiful. I look forward to following along as you fill it with the YCS boxes. Nina, I absolutely adore your channel, thank you for keeping it free. I have unsubscribed to several channels because once the person (s) get their numbers up they then throw out the members only thing and I just cannot abide those who do that to the very people who got them to that point, to where they can do memberships. So, a huge thank you to you sweet lady! For keeping your content free and for sharing your amazing creative flow with us. Be well and stay safe. xx

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Awww, thank you Lin. It just against my morals. I’m very proud of the community we have here and intend to try and keep it that way ❤️

[@mafish7962]

Lovely video as always Nina! Take care, Laura ❤❤

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Laura 💕

[@lenabot5961]

Hello nina...again a beautiful box and I would have chosen the two papers too, love them. This journal looks so pretty. Thank you for running your channel the way you do, no pressure, inspirational, always so nice to see you at work, listening to your enthousiasm, sharing your creativity. Your personality is bubbely and there is always kindness in your voice. See you soon again and my thumb is always up...love and a big hug lenaxxx

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you dear Lena. It’s the community spirit that means so much to me and I don’t want to lose that. Have a wonderful weekend my friend. Sending love and hugs 💕 xxxx

[@angieb4251]

Love this new journal. So pretty.

[@suerussell497]

I love the boxed items. I have purchased many and they are just a real treat to me. It’s like opening a holiday gift. The best part is watching you create a work of art. It certainly opens the mind to what can be done. Continue to be the positive force you are. Thank you!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much for your positive comment Sue. Much appreciated ❤️

[@yolandakouwenberg-meijer344]

lovely journal and lovely papers..love the cover.

[@evelynrauseo467]

This box is phenomenal. My daughter is a librarian, so I really appreciate the supplies in this box! The papers you selected for your journal are fab I love your new journal, and the glimpse of Louie, too! Thank you for all your inspiration. 💌🙏

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Evelyn, the box is another winner isn’t it. Have a lovely weekend 💕

[@janetdand2704]

Lovely journal and a great beginning to a new Your Creative Studio series- one of my favorites! Thanks

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Janet. I’m looking forward to getting started again 💕

[@elizabethglenbentley7882]

Loved every minute ❤️ of watching you being indecisive, then playing around for the ideal fit. It makes me feel better about my own dawdling around till I choose the right image, etc. You give us a peaceful satisfaction of a successful 🙏 result, so beautiful. Thanks, Nina.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Elizabeth. I’m glad I took my time as I love the end result. This might be my favourite journal so far 💕

[@ChattylaineCreates]

I totally agree Nina to keeping your channel free from memberships and coffees... I don't do that either... The pleasure for me is giving inspiration to others and passing on knowledge, making it personal is nice too so your viewers can get to know you as well... You've always been my main inspiration from the beginning about 2017/8 so for over 5yrs now I feel I've got to know you a little better over that time... Love your new YCS journal and will love watching you fill it up as always ❤️❤️❤️😘😁

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Elaine. It really irks me and I find it morally wrong. Glad you like the new journal so far ❤️ x

[@kazeekins1]

Another great set up for Your Creative Studio. Journal. Looking forwards to more Nina . Kay x

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Kay, I’m so pleased with how the cover turned out 💕 x

[@XenobiaF]

I love the cat in the dog bed-cats seem to think they own the whole house and everything in it.

[@tigg5036]

Cat Law #1 - yes, we do own everything, period. Cat Law #2 - if it fits, I sits.

[@XenobiaF]

@@tigg5036 Sometimes it doesn’t fit and they squash themselves in!

[@lauramurphy438]

Another lovely journal ready to to fill. Looking forward to seeing you create in it.

[@mariawhiddon]

I’m excited! I predict another magical journal ahead. Thank you SO much Nina for everything you do for us. I’ve learned so much and have even started my on journal. I don’t subscribe to those boxes, but I have lots of ‘stuff’ that I will be able to use. I look forward to more of your wonderful videos. Again, thank you so much dear lady x

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

That’s great to hear. Glad it inspires you to use the supplies you already have on hand ❤️

[@CuriousMoonDesign]

Hi Nina. Love this new Journal make. Very pretty handmade paper. Looking forward to seeing it develop 💕

[@elter1979]

Your cover is beautiful, thank you for sharing Nina.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Marie, glad you like it 💕

[@purplenanna1272]

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Lynda 💕 X

[@noreenhennessy9299]

Love, love, love it

[@janetroy2753]

Nina you have such creative ideas and continue to inspire me to think out of the box or in this case out of the box and into the journal. I don't think I've ever watched one of your videos and not come away with a new idea or a different way of doing something. My take away from this one is mix up the papers in your signatures. They can be different sizes. Love it. I'm almost confident to make my first journal from scratch. Keep on Creating! I look forward to what you do next. Janet in Canada :)

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much for your kind words Janet. It’s lovely to hear you get inspiration from my videos. Please, please just dive on in and get started. Happy Creating ❤️

[@brendamyers2353]

I love your channel. You always show beautiful creations. Very inspiring. Thank you

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Brenda 💕

[@JH-wd7ul]

Hello Nina! I think your newest journal looks elegant, old world and artistic. The metal bookplate and corners are great additions. Love it! (Of course, I love EVERYTHING you do, so this should not surprise you.} 😊 Looking forward to all the goodies you will be adding inside. Many thanks for sharing your skills with us! Janet 💕 PS: I think you're going to have to give Louie a bed of his own for his birthday. He will continue to confiscate Toby's bed, but at least Toby will have an alternate place to sleep. 🐈‍⬛

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Hello Janet, you always say the kindest things 💕. We have bought Louie a couple of cat beds in the past and he has shown very little interest in them. I guess it’s a territorial thing because it’s Toby’s 😻❤️

[@JH-wd7ul]

@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia Isn't that how it always works? If you train Toby to lie in one of Louie's beds, Louie will then want to swap. They really are like children. 🤣

[@bonnie5972]

Cover is beautiful. Subscribed. Looking forward to watching your other videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

I love your videos and your creativity of course but what really makes me always smile is when you say I’m not going to overthink it! Haha, me to a T. That’s so hard to just be random isn’t it. Patti

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Oh Patti it’s a constant battle to not overthink ❤️

[@purplefairy1]

A lovely long video, I don’t know if you noticed Nina you put your signatures in twice! I thought I’d caught the rewind 😂 🥰💜🧚‍♀️

[@love-light369]

Oh, I'm pleased to hear it wasn't just me going a bit bonkers... I thought I'd pressed something or gone into the twilight zone! 🤣🤔🥰

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Ooops! The amount of times I checked the video as well! Thank goodness for the fast forward button hey 💜😘😂

[@nanmau6234]

Nina, I’m am feeling very inspired to follow along. I have several months of YCS and have never done a thing with the contents……..I think I might follow along with a daphnes diary journal as well. Thanks !

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

That’s wonderful to hear. Don’t forget to use #ninaribena if you decide to share on social media. Happy Creating 💕

[@karlakoykka-walker]

Love this idea! Definitely going to try it! 💕

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Have fun 💕

[@Allegory_of_Wolves]

So pretty what you did here! Your videos are very inspiring. 💚👍 By the way, the "vellum" sheet with the partial doily and stamp design on it, is actually a big sticker. I bought some of these boxes as well, and I, too, didn't know this until I saw someone point it out in an unboxing video. You can use the whole sheet as one large sticker or cut out the individual designs, or, of course, you can also just use it as a normal piece of acetate. 😊

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Oooh, thanks for pointing this out as I hadn’t realised it was a sticker sheet ❤️

[@Allegory_of_Wolves]

@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia Hehe, yes, it's indeed impossible to tell. I would never have noticed it myself, had I not seen somebody show it in another KZbin video. 😅

[@burrowscarol]

I’m excited to play along this time. Your last journal was very pretty. I think I will use scraps frpm the various projects I do since I no longer subscribe to YCS. I have things left over from the year or so I did subcribe which I can incorporate. :) Thanks for your inspiration!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

That’s lovely to hear Carol. Don’t forget to use #ninaribena if you share your projects on social media and I will be sure to leave a comment. Happy Creating 💕

[@elizabethnaisbitt1795]

Absolutely gorgeous as always, I've considered getting those boxes but not sure how I would feel about having 3 of everything tbh, but I guess it comes in handy to use over and over again. Tfs xo

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Well I can’t rate them highly enough and find them very inspiring. I want to use the contents for other projects this year as well 💕 xo

[@wandaspencer9523]

I like the look of random page sizes. I’m wondering if the brown paper bags were altered by you or what the original size was. Such a beautiful cover as well! Love it. Thanks for sharing your ideas and videos. ❤

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Wanda. I cut the zig zag bit off the top of 2 of the bags and folded the bottom up to make a pocket, and chopped approx a couple of inches off the third bag. The bags were originally 8 1/2 x 8 1/2”.

[@merrilynnowlan8907]

Hi Nina love your videos .. forget to comment mostly … have you made ephemera yet using the cooking theme box . I follow them all
