Thanks for sharing so much. You're awesome!!

I could watch you put together scrap busters and pages all day. It inspires me so much! Tfs! ~Velvet

[@CoriDahmen]

They are so much fun to make! Relaxing and rewarding with the win. In fact, I need a day to do just that. Have fun Velvet!

[@bunnysantamaria1808]

Just thought I would share...I use at least five or more wax stamps throughout my my journals. My journals tend to be right around 250 pages. Hasn't been negative at all. So far all my journals have been highly treasured. I do not have a KZbin channel. I occasionally post pics on Instagram or Facebook. Love your work. You have given me some new ideas. Thank you!

[@geridevries839]

From what I'm learning from you and about you, it takes you longer because you stop and fix things that you think could be improved on. Adding the flower sticker to her hand was so cool! Maybe I would have thought of adding the flower but I would never have thought of putting it under her hand! You pay attention to even the smallest details. Thank you for sharing! You are a joy to watch!

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you Geri and I firmly believe in the little details. They a re more time consuming, but I love the look they add to a project.

You're welcome Gloria and I just feel bad because my original goal was to create and share quickly for folks who don't have or want to spend lots of time watching videos. Clearly I've obliterated that with this stretch of the series :)

[@Khadyjah38]

Really loved your journals. You gave me many ideas because sky is the limit for inspired creators and artist. Keep pressing on look forward to the finished product.

Hi Cori, thank you so much for all your videos, so clear and detailed I looooove it! I am going to make one of these with you!

[@doodahgurlie]

I love watching the 3 stages you have of this process from the finished book, to one that is halfway there, to one that is blank and you walk us through the process. I'm sure it's tedious and a pain to do these types of videos, but it's good to see how your thoughts behind what you do and why. Thank you for sharing.

[@sallylines3141]

Hi Cori, thank you so much for all you share with us, I love your style! The range and ingenuity of your scrap busting ideas are just plain awesome 🤩!

Hi Cori, thank you for your always super videos. Tried to order the velcro dots. Cannot buy them in Switzerland,( Amazon does not deliver ) and it would cost 50!! $ to have them sent to my daughter in Germany. Will stick with the magnets, that I found at 0.6mm thickness, and 0.8cm in diameter. The weather here has been, and still is, and will continue, to be cold and rainy, Perfect for crafting.

[@CoriDahmen]

Me too! But looking at the paper, I don;t think the colors are going to be much different from the ones in the last few projects 🙃

[@kerynokeeffe9133]

No wonder you are tired, Cori. You have done so much tremendous work and preparation just on these scrap buster journals without even considering all of the other tasks. You’re a marvel! I have the same wish as you that I could work faster and achieve more results quicker. However, my wanting “things” right makes me not rush or haphazardly do or place pieces. Maybe over time , I can learn to make changes to this. 🤞🤞😀💞

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you Kevyn and I’ve been telling myself “maybe I’ll get quicker as time goes on” for probably 40 years. I’m still hopeful! 😊

[@1busybetty]

Your new version of the spine looks really great. Thank you for all your time and effort to put this beautiful journal together, and to take us on the journey with you!

[@CoriDahmen]

You’re welcome and that spine is my new favorite to make. This thick-paged book is pretty typical for me, so this type of hinge makes that approach possible.

[@kathyswaney5572]

You are such a delight and so refreshing. I love how organized you are which makes everything go faster. You are very aware of our time, for example, inking off camera. I know that makes your prep time longer but I so appreciate it. I have lots of your videos yet to watch. Thank you so much!

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you Kathy and since my goal is to teach and show, it just makes sense (in my tiny brain) to do as much prep work as I can in advance. Not many people have endless time to watch videos, so I try to make them as concise, yet informative, as possible. I am definitely a work in progress 😊

[@oheck5570]

Cori, this is jam packed with ideas and it is beautiful too. Thank you.

[@CoriDahmen]

Isn’t it funny how quickly one idea segues into something totally different than what was originally planned? I’m happy to hear that you;re enjoying it.

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you. Thise are the Tim Holtz clips and I generally get them at Joann.

[@cindybrown1461]

Wow! I guess I'm going to have to start at the beginning with flip flops and then work my way through scrap buster ideas. Cuz actually adding all the stuff in the book there isn't any playlist to where to go to make these items that you're putting in the book. Is there any way that you can add the playlist? Of all the scrap busters or flip flaps that you used in your tutorials. It's really hard trying to find what you're adding to the first few pages to go back and try to make them. Unless all of the scrap buster ideas and flip flap n folds are in it.. help im stuck.

[@CoriDahmen]

Hi. There is a play list for both flips, flaps and folds and scrap busters. I began with the videos of making the items, then added the covers and spines so that they would make sense when I went through each page. It might help by beginning with the scrap buster items. The videos are numbered 1 through 18 for the pieces that are used on each page.

[@cathyflores6574]

Can I ask what the paper is from on the first page that has the glassine bag? I was gifted a page of it and love it. Thanks.

[@CoriDahmen]

Sure! Most of the page bases in these journals came from the 12” x 12” Tim Holtz paper pads. I’ve used Memoranda and Wildflower most often, but there are some pieces from French Industrial and Collections(?) used as well.

[@carlos-9475]

Hello Cori, I've been following this serie of videos since you started sharing your scrap buster ideas and I think every chapter is inpirational, I'm making my own ideas book now, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!! What's the name of the Tim Holtz collection you used in the new book you are making?
