Hey, come closer! Sneak a peek at how I'm decorating pages for Barbara's Dephemerember journal!

[@carolm4094]

I love the way you connected your towns and your friendship by drawing the river. Using the river water makes it special. I know it was hard using an original page from your construction journal but so special. She’s going to love this journal.

[@kandrews6356]

OMGoodness... I can't imagine what else you're going to do to that Journal... it's so beautiful already. This DEPHEMEREMBER is going to be nothing short of amazing!!!!!

[@jeannetimme7337]

Barbara will "freak out" when she sees the original artwork from your own moving journal! You've put so much love into this journal for your JJ sistah!

[@MonaRogers]

What a beautiful gesture of love for your friend Barbara 💕

[@waboosje]

The colours your special water got on paper is so beautiful and special too and a wonderful symbol for your very special friendship. I can see the love dripping from these papers and am sure Barbara is gonna love it so very much😊❤

[@noscripthere95]

Awwh, Louisa, what a wonderful friend Barbara has in you.

[@doreethorpe4800]

Fabulous additions today. So awesome that you are sharing the original page from your moving journal with Barbara. Also really love the river connection between Ulm and Vienna. ❤️❤️

[@Veronim78]

Love these techniques on the gorgeous bumblebees turned out absolutely amazing. Wow, how thoughtful you shared an original piece of your artwork with , Barbara. So sweet. She will treasure that page. Your journal is going to be so interesting to look at with all those different textures you created with your techniques. All in the details. I love it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@shelleyroy9667]

The thoughtfulness of the river water was heart warming

[@angiewylie1141]

Thank you for showing us how to make the bees appear life-like. I could almost feel the fuzziness of their bodies as you stroked them! The clear embossing powder really set their wings off! I'm sure Barbara will love what you've done with this page. Looking forward to the next video.

[@kimarmstrong9161]

This was a super technique!!

[@jodyhalferty]

The bees are just jumping off of the page. What a cool technique!!!

[@teresacobb1760]

So original and meticulously beautiful! Lovely to watch. So looking forward to seeing Barbara's reaction upon receiving it! 🎉 Thanks for creating decempherember! Can't wait!

[@edie44]

Beautiful. Love the connecting of the two cities with the river and the use of the “brayed furlap” 💖

[@NancerMakes]

Special water....that is a very unique and amazing thing to add. So personal and emotional.

[@kierstinfrey6496]

I love how Barbara calls you the “Junk Journal Scientist”. I think it’s true. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@RobinfromCA]

You are so very thoughtful in everything you put in this journal. It is definitely made with love and friendship. Barbara is going to love it!

[@Art-in-Making]

I remember watching Barbara and you make each others junk journals two years ago. Was so much fun to follow along from begin to end. Thank you ❤

[@JunkJournalFlavi]

Einfach wundervoll und der Spruch am Ende passt ja absolut perfekt 👍

[@lexy9437]

I love how you are always amazed at the techniques you discover yourself as well! lol You are so fun, Luise!

[@pauletteliddell2923]

I know Barbara will be so excited when she sees her journal. Love the bees. Thanks for sharing with us. 👏👏❤😊

[@sharbean]

The embossing technique for the bumble bees is amazing! And your Danube water is so meaningful and beautiful.

[@myhillsidegarden3998]

What a truly, lovely way, to commemorate your friendship with Barbara. I love the idea of using the water from the river to connect what you drew. You are lucky to have such a wonderful friendship/sister. Thank you for sharing. i always love watching this series. Enjoy the weekend. Catherine

[@katherinetwilliams4254]

How wonderful this is. I love the symbolism of the Danube water and that page that shows the connection with Barbara’s is perfect❤ Love the shared page from your round objects journal….thank you both for sharing your beautiful friendship with all of us😍

[@DebbieMoore5477]

Luise, I am loving watching you and Barbara make journals for each other. Not only are the journals amazing, but your friendship is so touching. It is so deep and true and wonderful! I got so excited when you said you live in Ulm! My father's ancestors came to America from Ulm in the 1700s. Our family's name was Von Ulm. I have never known anyone from there before, and I got so excited! I really hope to visit Ulm someday.

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Wow - great process with the bees - they look fantastic! So special to use water from the Danube in connecting the 'river' to the two cities! Also the page from your own journal - how lovely.

[@laurabenns]

What beautiful pages you have created ... and very sentimental, which is also beautiful 🌟🕊🎊

[@Ms.W529]

I love that you used water from the Danube. Several years ago, my son was out west (in the US) with my parents, and they came to the Snake River. It’s a river I’ve always wanted to raft. My son brought me home a little bottle of the water from the Snake because he knew how much I wanted to raft there. It was very touching.

[@joycemccullough7856]

So amazing! Lucky Barbara. Thanks so much for sharing your processes. ❤❤❤

[@chrystallized871]

this is really touching! ripping out that original page from your journal to honor your friendship ... wow ... and putting the Danube water "magic" on top ... pfuh ... veeery beautiful ... and intense ... even to witness ... as for "magic": the bumblebees turned out amaaazing! thanks for sharing the details of these embossing wonders with us; ) ... and all your other amazing adventures and discoveries. i sooo very much appreciate that and all the time and energy you put into this journey you invite us all to join in with you. thx & ❤ CHRi

[@christine0nowell757]

Have watched both you and Barbara putting this together, and they are both fantastic journals, well done to the both of you , Amazing achievements.

[@tamaradankert5776]

Barbara is going to love this journal. ❤

[@londaedwardsrau3245]

Your creativity always blows me away. 😲

[@firebutterfly]

you two inspire me all year and especially during this creative era of each year

[@littlekentucky2294]

Your personality, your experimental wild side is so fun, you are a gifted artist, I enjoy listening to you talk and seeing how your mind works equally as much as what you will create. 👏 Bravo

[@MimiC-4712]

Oh Wow, I am new to this JJ world, I am blown away by your creativity. I am looking forward to trying this dephemerember challenge. Barbara will cherish this. Thanks for posting your amazing creativity.

[@marybethschuiteman484]

Amazed as always. Barbara is going to cry with joy! Sending love to both of you.

[@hankejoosen4029]

Beautiful as always and the thought behind even more beautiful!🤩🤩🤩

[@Astras-Stargate]

Don't worry! I love it, what a nice base for Barbara to work from!!

[@dustyacres]

What a beautiful story ❤️ Barbara will be so excited about this. I shedded a tear 😢

[@lisagreen3778]

I am surprised that even though many of those digital pages are already beautiful as they are, that you think they still need a bit of pizzazz and then when you add that special something, it makes those pages fabulous! Truly amazing work!😊

[@juliemonroe105]

I really love seeing what you are both doing for each other!!

[@DedeDay-wi5ij]

OMG! That is brilliant, Luise!!! With the 2 embossing powders!! I can’t wait to try this out! And the paper! Gorgeous! Love love Love love!!

[@elainedudar1952]

Absolutely love your ideas, I bet Barbara will be ecstatic when she receives this to work in, can’t wait to see her reaction. What next??? Can’t wait to watch!!!

[@KateriBurnett]

Hi Luise, wow this is turning out so awesome, I know anything you would do would be amazing Barbara will love it. I do like how you tell us the reasoning behind the pages and those Bees are so cute and life like. WOW! Bye bye till the next video.👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

[@shawnmorymcmillion]

Oh dearest Luise…PURE GENIUS! Barbara is going to love this journal and that special page from your moving journal is an incredible gift of love! 🐼❤️🤗

Love your sense of humor. Barbara will thoroughly love her journal. 💚💚💚

[@dianneyoung8602]

Love how the embossing powders look!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@tanjablume6343]

Thank you for another wonderful and inspiring video🥰💡🐝🎄

[@fyrtalker]

I love your new word PRE-DEPHEMEREMBERING!!!

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

Luise, love what you created and shared it, thank you, you are genius, big hugs Luise.

[@KalynellMS]

Your work is pure genius. I'm so in awe of you.

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

Hi Luise, I've been gone 3 weeks because of losing power due to Hurricane Helene. I'm trying to catch up now. I just know that Barbara is going to love this journal! You've put so much of your heart into it and it's fantastic. Looking forward to seeing what you do next! TFS 😊

[@kathykiene13]

I have to tell you so far this year every video you both have made have been fantastic and I’m enjoying it so much. I had to laugh, though when you said how far Vienna Austria was from Ulm, Germany. I live in south-central Kansas and we also have a small house in Phoenix Arizona that we drive out to a couple of times a year. It’s a 19 hour drive most of the time. So 5 1/2 hours is nothing compared to driving across the United States. 😂❤😂

[@susinok]

I love these pages. Both joirnals are going to be stunning!

[@octavya30]

I’m glad I watched this because I just got some frosted crystal embossing powder and thanks to you I know how to use it! I think Barbara is going to be thrilled to get that page in her journal. It’s such a sweet gesture to a good friend. ❤

[@rainbow_rising]

You’re absolutely amazing ❤❤ - an incredible artist 🧑🏼‍🎨 & the best friend to have 🫶🏼

[@tootsfour956]

Luise you are somuch fun. Thank you for this video! Blessings

[@lotusflowerpassion]

wonderful Luise so special for Barbra dear and Happy you both put packages together of Papers you are using I got them Both right a way so I can put them together and be ready.💖💖 I am excited to join in this year .

[@michellelutz2721]

Genius! You are beyond amazing .... I'm one who is way behind on videos and techniques so just caught the opening of this journal at 49dragonflies. I had to stop the video and come watch how you did the bumblebees. WOW!! I'm seriously speechless at all you create. Crafty hugs!!!

[@charleneottinger4735]

Love the fuzzy bees! Great technique.

[@J-AnnaZ]

Luise watching you from a vacation in New Orleans, Louisana, USA. Just loved it when you used water from the Danube to form the heart! Nice to know I am not the only one using elements from nature even if only to activate pigments!

[@shulaney4639]

A wonderful tribute to friendship!!!

[@ladonnaloehrke]

Love what you did with the bees!!

[@Yet-another-lisa]

I'm sooooo delighted to see you working with junk journals!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@susietruelove3657]

I am so glad you talked about embossing cause I've just started playing with it and I love everything you did today

[@paginator]

Amazing work as usual, Luise! I love the embossing on the bees! I’m working on my swap journal for Dephemerember as I watch you work. 😊

[@vickicoatney3062]

Just love what you’ve done and what a gift you’ve given her taking that special page from your personal journal.

[@elizabethkeeling-carreau1873]

Oh Barbara is going to love having your original construction art flowers. I really enjoy seeing how thoughtful you are in creating her Dephemerember journal just for her. Frayed burlap, cheese and all. 🤣🇨🇦🤣

[@tam258]

So very beautiful… all of it❣️

[@cheryl7476]

Love what you have done, Luise.

[@jillian30]

WONDERFUL 💙💙💙

[@mncountry3797]

❤ the decorated pages!

[@sandralorenzo2351]

Wow, wow, wow!!!

[@cindyowens6624]

I think Barbara might freak her freak 😅. Love the way it makes everything look amazing

[@willowroundtree-ross2167]

Fabulous!!! Thank You ❤

[@debbytowers6416]

Wow! You can tell that you have a great friendship with Barbara. Using the water from the Danube was a beautiful idea. These pages are great, looking forward to more to come ❤xxx

[@Kmbchan4]

Wow what an amazing technique. Thank you for teaching us that.

[@Kmbchan4]

I also love that you both picked a special page with stars on it.

[@TheEclecticCottage]

So uniquely special❣️

[@emmkaa2099]

Luise, you are AMAZING!!

[@RegenaWallace-ri1ds]

So beautiful.

[@kristenmesker8476]

Oh my goodness! Barbara is going to freak her freak when she sees what you’ve created, especially the page from your moving journal

[@shelleyroy9667]

Your organization of your materials is absolutely amazing

[@lisab4159]

Great pages

[@junerobbins6871]

Luise, I love your page ideas. Im currently finishing 16 journals for a craft fair/show at Corbin Senior Center in my hometown. I love getting new ideas for the journals Your bumbel bees are stunning. I havent tried embossing yet. Have you tried puffy paint on your Bumbel Bees bidodys ?

[@theresaconway-hayes]

I like how you store your stamps. Some of my Tim Holtz do not stick to the plastic and so they have to go in a pouch/plastic envelope

[@maritaranda7782]

Love it😍

[@CherrySignature3]

Love it

[@Karen_Cr28]

Gorgeous. Love the cheese envelope! Can't wait to see both of your reactions to these treasures. ❤

[@phague85]

Ulm looks like a beautiful place

[@craft-o-matic399]

What a beautiful effect! Love it! Lisa

[@kandrews6356]

Because of the blue on the page you put the floral and wreath, and the yellow on the envelope you said had too much yellow... what it you switched them around? The the 'too much yellow' would be on the yellow page, and the blue wreath would go on the page with the blue? Just a thought. Thank you for listening and sharing your beautiful "Barbara Journal" with us.

[@craftcreek4624]

IYKYK

[@JoyfulHippy]

It's beautiful. I'd be very happy with a friend like you. Can I ask where you get the 120gsm matte photo paper from please? I can only find much thicker stuff.

[@ebknight74]

Thank goodness we don’t have to say it correctly because I don’t seem to be able to 😂😂 thanks for sharing.

[@alysonhovanec6314]

❤❤❤

[@InHappinessandDistress]

Always so funny and witty and love the way you love yur friends. But Luise...I NEEED that braclet that si like stainless steel measuring tape - where can I get one? Looove it ❤❤

[@luiseheinzl]

The bracelet is from Tim Holtz 😁

[@Sil-yeah]

Omg I just looooove that bumblebee and the look it gets with the two embossing🤩👏🏻❤️ The paper, is that matt photopaper or normal paper? I’ve never tried to emboss on photopaper before🤔 is it possible?

[@luiseheinzl]

Yes, matte photo paper. Yes, you can emboss on it!

[@fyrtalker]

This is amazing! Did you and Barbara promise not to watch each other’s videos for this prep work you are doing?

[@joanwebster4413]

Beautiful 😍

[@caroloconnor1688]

Louise, I watched your video where you explained your categories for choosing items for your journal. I wrote them down,bought a small set of drawers and lost the list. Can you pride it as well as access to the papers used by both you and Barabara. Thank you😮
