When I get a notification that you’ve posted another vid, I get so excited! They are always very interesting and inspiring! I’m going to share this one with my friends.🦌💌❤️📚

Ditto!

Lend out notebooks. What a novel idea... you could, I would propose, have a notebook that gets passed around a group to have a running story that all contribute to. The library card would be like an index of who wrote in it from what page to what page or something. I think you just came up with a brilliant idea, lending out a notebook. Lol

[@bettymetz3746]

You truly are a booksmith!! So creative and so willing to share your great ideas! Thanks so much. Betty from Ohio.

[@susanjerrell9220]

My thoughts exactly, Betty. A real booksmith our Nik is.

[@emilyfox2072]

Great suggestions Nik, thanks a bunch 😊🍁🍁

[@soulvull]

Insightful 💕

[@lorikendrick5076]

Just finished watching this and I noticed some examples you showed were concept books. What are concept books? I looked back through your videos and didn't see any. I may have missed them. This is new to me.

[@wendy6038]

Hi great video as always. I'm in the middle of making a journal for a secret santa for work, thanks for reminding me of some of the cool stuff I can put in it. I seem to forget adding things like these xx

[@NorthlightsStudio]

great ideas Nik! I was so excited about the library pocket I didn't realize I had already purchased it 2 weeks ago!! haha Now I have it twice. Oh well! I'm laughing at myself. A senior moment!

[@Zinawithfire76]

Absolutely Brilliant work. Smudges and prayers from Canada ☕ 🙏 🌹

[@angelafernandachristenseng9884]

Library Cards - great suggestion! Books lent to “black holes”, never to be seen again… Only book lovers would feel it. 😍

[@janet257]

Super useful info! Tfs💗

[@lalagamma4452]

Great suggestions Nik. 💞Namaste 🐞🕉️✌️

[@johnibrazzell764]

[@aliceadler4569]

Hey Nik!!! Great video!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@AzaleaLuna]

Your books and journals have class and beauty. Really great tips on what to add to a journal. Thanks Nik. I changed my YT name from Phennec to Azalea. I doubt you remember, you have so many subscribers. But I like to tell the KZbinrs I'm subscribed to just in case.

[@MsFarmer37]

Is there a video on how to make that black book cover frame? I love that look.

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

Watching for the 2nd time. Great ideas to remember!🦌💌❤️📚

[@janetnieves5056]

[@donnaeli3477]

Love these ideas! Nik, or anyone, where can I find the little metal page clips with the numbers on them? Look forward to all your videos!

[@julietteesmeerot739]

Same question here 🙋🏽‍♀️

[@maxmedia6524]

Greatly enjoy your videos. Can you plz give us a hint where you get your accessories, metal or other. So impossible to find!

[@JessicaHarris]

Hmmmmm - seems like it’s been a minute since we’ve had a concept journal …. Or a challenge. … how about a concept journal challenge using these elements!? …. Could be fun… hope you’re well.

[@danaroth1525]

NIK….please give us more. WE NEED MORE. A new teachable…something. PLEASE!!!

[@velvetspicer1962]

Tfs!!!

[@marysfolly2261]

Awesome ideas❣️

[@kayhammock]

My eyes are bad. On the library card I thought it said from the Crime Library.... This video is a great reminder of all those special touches that you've shared over the years.

[@theartsyredneck]

I had forgotten about raggedies!!!!!! I HAVE to go watch those again!

[@thinktank8286]

First time viewer. Wow! What wonderful books! Where did you find those? Buy or build? Antique or new? Wonderful format!

[@scaweaver]

She makes them all. Sometimes they are from books she recycles others she makes from scratch. Nik is SUPER talented and fun to watch.

[@linda9731]

Where can I buy the scoring board to make folded pockets. I am so excited to learn about book binding,/book making.

[@jennifermarlowe5336]

Linda, I know Martha Stewart puts out a scoring board. I’m not sure if Recollections or other craft company puts one out. They’re really helpful.

[@maramakesjournals2319]

Buy one at any US craft store (Joann, Michaels). You can buy online. I have a Martha Stewart and a smaller one from We R Memory Keepers. There’s another brand called Scor-Pal. Amazon sells scoring boards. Good luck!

[@burrowscarol]

How did you add a title in gold to the spine as you showed in the beginning? Is there a tutorial or something? I’ve been glueing paper titles on the spine but would prefer something more book- like such as your example. Thanks! Edit: oh I see a link to the foiling process! Thanks a lot! I love watching your tutorials and often make something with you !

[@emilyfox2072]

Agree. The gold title is so beautiful.

[@rneustel388]

I don’t know, I have some books I think I’d want a deposit for before I’d lend it out!

[@dewaynesmith1718]

Do u do custom made? How much do u charge to make a junk journal if i provide the book cover and the paper for the signatures

[@NiktheBooksmith]

Good morning Sadly, I cannot do custom orders anymore but I appreciate the ask!

[@mariatoft2000]

Whats the name of the board you use for the scormarks?

[@MsFarmer37]

Bira Craft 12 X 12 inch Multi-Purpose Scoring Board & Score and Fold Tool (Scoring Board) on Amazon. I ordered it and really like it.

[@lynne3124]

I'm not your Mom but, you are, Nik the booksmith. Thankyou.

[@judyschlanger8250]

[@birdietherecycledhippychic642]

Just a personal. You haven't mentioned lately how you are feeling.

[@Atcraftcity]

Doesn’t look like she responds to any of her comments.

[@yvethemetriccrafter688]

You really do inspire me , thank you .
