Thank you very much for your lovely comment. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video. Have a wonderful week. ✨️✨️💕

I love those dots by the bird! It’s like a close-up view of the bird’s feathers! I work on Rolodex cards every day so I enjoy watching you. Thanks!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Oh, wow .... good for you. I love these little cards, they are so much fun. TFW and leaving a wonderful comment. Enjoy your art and I hope to see you again!! .......... and you are very welcome!

[@lampace]

I really like the end result! So glad you persevered through the struggle, lol!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you very much, and yes, for some reason this one was a struggle !! Your viewing is very much appreciated, as well as your comment. Have a wonderful day!

[@MerryScraps]

I love it! I think it turned out great! I like watching people work through it and how it comes out. I especially like watching your videos and how you work through it, even when you are struggling!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Jeanna ..... or is it Gina? Let me know please 🌼 As much as I hate the struggle, I like it b/c it shows the viewer how to be persistant and don't let the messes and confusion get you down. I'm so happy you were able to take the time to sit with me today ....... have a great week and blessings to you and hubs! 🙏🏻💕💖🌸

This came together in the end Barbie and I like it! Thank you so much for the shout out. Yes, those advertisements are wallpaper and are in my Etsy if anyone is interested. They made a great background for your card. I hadn’t thought of doing that. We didn’t do anything for Memorial Day either. I hope you have your water back, it’s no fun without water or power. 🥰TFSGF Hugs

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Pam, I had no idea you had an Etsy shop, I'll def check it out at some point. Yup, the kids have their water back and this landlord is a happy camper........I didn't have to dole out any money for any repairs. 🤣 Good thing we had water, they came over here to shower and such. Sounds like a very relaxing weekend for you. TFW and until next time, hugs, gf and happy crafting. xo

[@dianajackman7213]

I saw Utah in those boxes! Obviously, I live in Utah. I love your rolodex cards. ❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you Diana. I understand Utah is a gorgeous state and I do hope to get there one of these years. TFW and I appreciate you very kind comment. 🩷🤗🌸

Happy you stuck it out ....... this one was painful for me but obviously not for you. 🤣🤣

[@shayriddle1498]

Hi Barbie, I'm a bit behind watching this week. The fish were a good idea. Like the way it turned out. Hope your test results are coming back good. Hugs my friend xoxo

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Hi Shay and no worreis about watching. This past weekend was very busy for everyone, and now that summer is here everyone needs to make the most of outdoor play. I'm way behind in my creating but I'm learning not to get wigged out about it. I'll get to it for you all. As far as my test, my Doctor phoned me today and I am good to go ....... I'm all clear on the tests I've taken and I only have one more redo blood to do and I'm not worried about that one. My mind can rest easy now. TY for all your love, support and concern for my health, Shay. Hugs, gf 🤗🌸🌿💖💖💖

[@christine0nowell757]

Another entertaining video, love watching these. You have far more patience than me at doing these little cards, which is why they all look so good in end. Just a heads up on Daphnes Diary, the latest issue, 4 which is out now in the UK, is celebrating its 100 issues, and its packed full of goodies, especially if you do journals. So look out for this one when it arrives where you live. Sending all good wishes to you all xxx

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Oh, yummy, Christine and I will definitely be checking my bookshop in a week or so, thanks for the heads up. As far as the video and this card ......... OMGosh. I think I'm struggling b/c I feel so far behind in my video's. I have to get it out of my head that I have to 'catch' up ....... what I need to do is just move on and create for you all when I have the time. Summer is hard for me, I put a lot of pressure on myself to keep my schedules and it doesn't always happen. 😎 You are such a sweetheart, thanks for hanging in there with me. Hugs, gf and have a great week. xo 🌸🌿🤗

[@itearpaper]

Collage is unpredictable to me too. You have something you think is a plan and then “pooof” it turns out completely different. But this came out great ❤ I had a house full on Memorial Day….rained here too so it was all inside, tired today. Hope you got your water fixed and hope your doing okay ❤😊

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Christine. It sounds like you have a really nice day with a houseful of love, but isn't it funny how it tires us out now? 😏🌟 We've recently had beautiful days, low 70's and sunny. It's hard to get in the craft room on days like these but boy does my mind run on overdrive with all I want to make ............. 🤣🤣 Thanks for your comment and I agree, I have a lot of 'pooof' moments. See you soon, I'm been trying to figure out my bird collage and this girl has got to move. Can't wait to see yours. Hugs. xo

[@michcrafty8664]

I loved your images. The black and white pieces are great. You’re so right the end result can’t often be predicted. This ended up lovely. I keep wanting to get at my Rolodex but just can’t seem to find the time. Your’s is growing nicely. ❤❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Mich, yes, you are busy but remember, the rolodex cards are so fast and easy, they are a nice change up. TFW b/c I know how busy you are. You'll get there and yes, my cards are grownig ........ next week I create 4 at once and really like all of those. Very quick and easy. Have a great week. 🩷🌼🩷

[@susangazawaypapercrafting3749]

I like it, Barbie! You kept at it and it worked out. Jimmy and my boys had to work so we didn’t do anything for Memorial Day. 😊❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks so much, Susan. Yeah, I heard in one of your videos the men in your house all had to work. We layed low this weekend too ...... that's okay, rest is good, especially when one is all pooped out. TFW and I'll see ya soon, either here or at your place. 🤣💖

[@lanakristoff5188]

Oh I know this feeling. 🙄 I did a crossword puzzle collage other day that was the worst. I still don't like it but at least it's done. I really like the fish though. They fill up the space just right. Way to go. I'd say you pulled it off as well.👏👏

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you so much for your words. Yup, I'm 2 weeks behind on my crossword puzzle b/c I cannot think of a darn thing. I one thing in mind but can't get it together. Crazy how that all works. Crafters block .......... 🤣🤣at least you did yours. 🥰

[@juliaarmato3984]

Ha haa! There are days like that, but I like it. It turned out cute. Hope your health things are looking up. I, on the other hand have twisted my knee and have a knee brace on. Fun, fun, NOT. God bless. P.S. On the tornado. We found out a friend of ours must have been guarded by an angel. Half of their house was ripped off. But thank you God. She and her dog survived it sitting in the bathroom. 😇

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Julia, I am so happy to hear your friend was safe, along with her pup during that awful storm. Yes, most definitely her angel was with her ... thank God. As far as your knee, I am sooooo sorry to hear this. You take care and rest up, do as the doc orders and you'll be back, stay on that road to recovery for now. I'll put you in my prayers. 🙏 Thanks so much for the encouraging words on this rolodex card. Things are really well, regarding all my testing , everything came back negative so I can put my mind at rest. If this darn eye acts up again after I get off the drops, then I have to see another eye specialist ......... I'm keeping my fingers crossed I won't have to. You take care, my dear and thanks so much for joining me and leaving me another wonderful comment. xo ❤

[@joymeadows3646]

Hi, Barbie! Torture? Not in my book. It is always interesting to see you try different things until you come up with the final design for your collages. I like the fish and the three dots match the colors in the postage stamp. You're right - collage doesn't have to tell a story but this one kinda' does. TFS xoxo

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Well, Joy ...... I'd love to hear your story behind this crazy collage !! Maybe b/c Heron eat fish? Please share ....... I'm so happy you aren't feeling tortured. Next weeks rolodex cards really came out lovely, you'll see them soon over on Patreon. I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Can you believe it's almost June 1st? Golly, the time goes by way too fast. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and hung on until the end. Hugs, my sweet friend and I'll see you again soon! xo

[@joymeadows3646]

@@NellieandRuthDesigns You mentioned that heron eat fish in your video so that is what I was referring to! Except the fish are swimming away from the heron, so maybe they got lucky and lived to see another day?? lol

[@LisaCorneliusJourneys]

Barbie, did you actually title this "easy simple collaging"? 😅 I have to admit I was getting worried there for a minute, but you pulled it out!! I've been traveling and am so behind on my videos. My Memorial Day was resting and recovering from jet lag. Fun video, as always. xoxo

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Good for you, Lisa ....... I do hope you went someplace fun and exotic! ........ or better yet, maybe back to Texas for a nice visit 💖 I think we are all behind, I am with recording and watching so you'll get no beef from me. Glad to have you home. Rest up, get acclimated again and enjoy your regurlar routine. TFW and happy to see you back at my craft table. xo 💖🧡💖
