Hello Sue. I use lots of magazine images in my journals. I even useful Pages sometimes. It is such a wonderful free resource because people give me magazines all the time blessings from New Mexico

[@Suesjournaladventures]

Yeah it is a good resource! You are lucky you get lots given that’s fab! Hi to you and New Mexico 🤗😘😘

[@lorikendrick5076]

I have used old calendar pages. Gorgeous photos!

[@Suesjournaladventures]

Yeah calendars are great too!! So many pretty images… I used to see them in thrift/ charity shops and think “why would anyone want an out of date calendar” now I know!!! 😂😘😘

[@lauriem9658]

I love this. You have given me plenty of ideas and inspiration for playing with my papers. I have been harvesting from my plant catalogs. Now I have so much more to do with them. And yay! It sounds like you have your crafting jojo back.

[@Suesjournaladventures]

lol thank you Laurie, glad I’ve inspired you, I’m still playing😂 mojo definitely back😘😘

[@joycemeyer8393]

Hi Sue!!! First I have seen your channel and I am subscribing. I am in US but we have thrift shops, gsrage sales and Habitat for Humanity stores. I have never found old wall paper books but come across magazines and agree with you that they are a great source of photographed images to use for tags. Thank you for this video.

[@Suesjournaladventures]

Welcome Joyce thank you for subscribing. I’m so jealous of those estate sales and yard sales etc!! People seem to get the most amazing items!!! Great resource! Thank you for commenting too🤗😘😘

[@bette-annflood835]

[@Suesjournaladventures]

Thank you Bette Ann, I know I couldn’t believe how much they had them priced up for! Love a bargain😂😘😘

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

Sue, you've given me lots of ideas for the magazines, now I've got to go snatch some from my mom's house 😅 that recycle store y'all have seems wonderful! I would love to go to a place like that but there aren't any within a short trip from my town and I can only go short trips. Maybe one day ...I hope you have a wonderful weekend! TFS 😊

[@Suesjournaladventures]

Thank you love, aww that’s a shame you can’t go hun. Get a friend to go for you, video call you and show you round then maybe they could get some things for you? I know that may not be possible though. Hope you have a fun day anyway😘❤️

Some pretty good jokes and joking today! I like and appreciate the way you spoke of waking up and brain lagging! Too true! From my perspective-Seriously, when you work on something, like the emery board on the magazine pic, it is encouraging. Trying things instead of being frustrated and flustered bc something didn’t quite work or look like the video demo and quitting. I do think the brush swiped some of the ink around from the pad application and lightened it. ?? The thumbnail is spectacular! You probably already know this but, when I do glossy accent buttons, the way I was shown on a video, is to glue together several layers of circle punched papers or thick cardstock or chipboard (cereal box thickness). Then punch the holes. Then add glossy accents, avoid the holes of course. It should not fill in the holes as it levels and dries. I was surprised how little an amount of glossy accents it takes compared to the size of the object and how it goes right to the edges. Rather amazing little product with great results usually. Of course buttons are thicker than dangles I would figure so not so many layers? I never thought about using glossy accents the ways you’ve demonstrated. (Thank you!) And you made looking through and working with magazine pictures make more sense to me. I can see the beauty or uniqueness in a picture but not what to do with it, like fussy cut for page edge! Glad to hear you doing better today. There are always ups and downs with health issues and “matters”. ❤❤ TFS!! ❤❤

[@Suesjournaladventures]

Thank you hun, yeah I maybe could have done with another layer behind the circles only put a bit of coffee dyed paper behind. Had to do the picture twice coz I forgot the leaf!😂😂 as the the picture with the emery board…..😂😂 you should see it now, it kinda makes me laugh. Will show it on next video😂😂😘😘
