Soft Spine Junk Journal /Part 3/Craft With Me/Finishing Pages & Flip Through

For this month’s design team project for The Digital Collage Club we are making a small soft spine junk journal. In today’s final part we are embellishing the rest of the pages and I'm sharing a flip through of the finished journal. Enjoy! 😊
The binding was inspired by ‪@Shabby.Soul-Suzy‬ (thank you, Suzy!)

[@rachelpatten8889]

I love this journal. So feminine and eclectic.

[@elzanneshepperson6729]

I absolutely love this ! Very feminine and really like how you showcase vintage and modern. This just shows you can never have too much lace. Love love love it ! 💙

[@beckyhaynes1920]

This has to be one of my favorites that you’ve ever made! I love the combination of modern, colorful stamping with vintage elements and lace. You are so fearless in your creativity…what an inspiration! 📖🥰🎉

[@chiagirlmyfatcat896]

Simple elements, elegant lace, uncomplicated ephemera, beautiful addition of colour, modern stamping... WOW, everything in this journal is totally you, Barbara ... in your classy, yet down to earth style. If I had to catagorize your style, without boxing you in or confining your free artsy spirit, I think I would describe the way you approach a project in those words. Beatiful journal!❤

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@ritagenz1519]

[@jneigler]

This journal is so pretty and interesting! All of the digitals and trims are perfect. Especially like the matching tuck spots and the pearls that show on the top. Great ideas. Thanks.

[@angelaarnold4255]

Oh Wow!! This Journal turned out so beautiful! The cards with these beautiful women on them are just breath taking. You want to just keep turning the pages to see the next. I love your laces also. It seems like every creator I see lately is telling us to use what we have. Stop hoarding these laces. So I don’t know if you’ve been holding on to these laces or not. But if you have, you chose the perfect Journal to use them in. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. ♥️♥️♥️

[@elizabethkeeling-carreau1873]

So perfectly beautiful Barbara! 🤗🇨🇦🤗

[@NatureSpiritJournals]

Das ist ein sehr hübsches Journalprojekt geworden. Am schönsten finde ich die vielen Vintage Elemente und Spitzen. Liebe Grüße Nicole

[@mariakristinaengen3215]

💜 Beautiful! 💜

[@jennifermackinnon7870]

I love this series. It’s a goal of mine to do a vintage junk journal actually using the vintage pictures, letters and ephemera collected by my mother. 😘Thank you for sharing!

[@arig4435]

Absolutely stunning Barbara! You are a master at flips, pockets and belly bands. I've really enjoyed this! 💖💖

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@CheleinSF]

[@shirleylaboy603]

It's beautiful Barbara. I love it. Thanks for sharing. 🙂❤️

[@dbabybear]

I learned about art glitter glue from you and now it is one of my favorite things to use.

[@49dragonflies]

Yay!

[@robinknutson8765]

Gorgeous Love this

[@Shabby.Soul-Suzy]

Oh my word…this is stunning Barbara! You are such a talent! 😍 I absolutely love your take on this spine! Thank you for the mention ❤️

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much, Suzy! I always find so much inspiration in your beautiful creations! ❤️

[@dianpapay7927]

I really couldn’t see this journal when you first began sewing in the signature bases. I am used to signatures with several pages in them. But I love how each base has become a piece of art. This journal is beautiful. Thank you for sharing a new style to try.

[@marilynmaker5942]

What a stunning journal Barbara! And as always, I love your nails 😘

[@annespaperspot2747]

I love this journal! You have included so many interesting elements. I will have to watch this video several times. Thank you. ❤

[@wendyk2557]

A beautiful journal filled with inspirational idea's!

[@susananderson8428]

It always makes me nervous when you glue stuff on top if your project! I love how you incorporate lace and fabric trim. I need to include that on my "new things to try" list! I have so many fabric scraps I could use for pockets or hinges. I'm not sure just how much lace I have, but I do have various other fabric trim that could be used. And vintage handkerchiefs or linens that could be used -if I have the nerve to cut them up!! Wonderful journal and so fun watching you put it together. ❤❤❤ TFS

[@nancynorris9822]

Its beautiful and i want to do this journal. Its a nice size too. Great job as usual. TFS🤗

[@suzanne1080]

Stunning

[@jayneelinor]

Such a sweet sweet journal

[@JunkyCatJunction]

Very sweet 💖

[@maryregan7928]

Lovely

[@martinaradtke2510]

I made the same experience with the textile glue in Germany. Bitte the Journal is fabulous😊

[@risamateo8003]

So beautiful ❤

[@yolandakouwenberg-meijer344]

Beautiful journal!...I use the textiel glue and the tacky glue...from action...these are good..

[@martinenieuwstad8442]

I immediately went to Action to look for textile glue. But also in the Netherlands no textile glue anymore😢. Just like you……..I love that glue

[@49dragonflies]

Why oh why would they do that 😭

[@sarwatfatima9686]

Beautiful ❤😊

[@heatherparry3159]

Beautiful and very unique! Love it!

[@matildaenlund6679]

It's absolutely stunning. It's one of my favorite journals you have made

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@snowstormcrafts8558]

Love this journal. Great job!

[@sueschweickert5247]

You are so creative! This is a beautiful journal.

[@evelynhughes951]

Love this!! Thanks for sharing. ❤️

[@prof.mommyarty]

Lol that little iron is so handy. I'm loving all the lace on here, especially the embroidered vintage stuff 😍. Ugh why do they always discontinue the best products? I was gutted when they stopped making my favourite tea 😭. I think my favourite cosmic shimmer acrylic glue is similar to your art glitter glue. I've heard people complain about it not being shimmery 🙈. I love the bulky pearl trim sticking out the top 😍. Such a gorgeous little journal😍. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

[@hankejoosen4029]

Gorgeous 🤩🤩🤩

[@miamcknight9138]

Love this style. Very elegant. I'm pleased you didn't add any more to the lace belly band. It looks great as is. This one has me plotting my first attempt at making a journal after watching soooo many of your and Luise's videos😉

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Have fun making your own! You got this! ❤️

[@ForeverLuminous]

lovely

[@hershellajohnson3800]

I love it!❤

[@lightbulbnirvana]

Hi Barbara! Thank you for sharing this journal-make! I'm not sure, howeverI feel that your craft has turned a corner and developed into something new. This journal is more quiet, delicate, and subdued. It feels more thoughtful somehow. It's so lovely! Kind regards from California! ❤

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you! I’m assuming it’s a phase and will change again 😊

[@lightbulbnirvana]

@@49dragonflies yes I agree. Of course it will.

[@purewordcreations]

Really well done!

[@debraolm7104]

.....U've put me into nice remembering tears....... So in 💖 with this ❣😘😘, from💚💛🐝 ( I say TY through out the making.... So sorry U can't hear it🥲!)

[@49dragonflies]

But I can read it! Thank you! ❤️

[@amyb82941]

💜💜💜

[@genevieveDawn6542]

Your problem with that belly band might be related to color. You have all black, white, brown, and beige on that page spread. Maybe you could add some blue accents to tie the page into the rest of the journal? My mind goes to something small and dark blue, like a button or flower. Or even a tab or tag topper on a card under the lace I love watching you create and talk through your struggles ❤

[@allisonjames2923]

Interesting… I was thinking it needs some blue grey or silver accents like some beads on the centre of each flower in the middle of the lace, or a strip of silver/grey blue beads that rubs down the middle. Grey blue flowers would be pretty

[@margshepherd260]

Hi Barbara, beautiful work as always! The magnetic base plate for your machine is meant for metal dies, not embossing folders. Using the base plate that came with it is definitely your best option for embossing. I work in a craft store, and often get that question. Don't know why your dies are moving on the magnetic base though, mine don't. Maybe talk to Sizzix about that.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for your advice! ❤️

[@AndreaK1013]

I’m not sure if you have a glue brand called Aleene’s in Vienna, but if you do, they have a fabric glue called “no-sew” that if fabulous. I’ve even used it to make little cafe curtains for my kitchen…really great fabric glue. Anyhow, I am enjoying this series..I always look forward to seeing what you’ll do next. Also, the lace belly band that you’re unsure about what to add to it (buttons, etc. from last video, I think) what if you added something down the sides of the trim…you could “fancy it up” a bit without covering the gorgeous middle. Hope that makes sense. Anyhow, thanks for sharing your creativity.

[@bozomahoney]

Aleene's is a great glue, but NOT for paper.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for your suggestions! ❤️

[@kimfulton4887]

Hi Barbara another great journal. you mention a couple of times how having some things already made it nice, personally I loved it in Dephemerember 2021 where you premade all the ephemera and then just added it to a journal. Urban nature still my favourite :). would you do another series premaking bits and pieces kine threading buttons and adding to fabric scraps and then adding them to a journal . I would love to follow along with that. Well done as always you are so inspiring xx

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for your feedback and question. Let me think about it! ❤️

[@michellehrowe360]

Loved this series - so fun! Barbara, I don't mean to be nosey but do you know how Joie de fi is doing? I miss her!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Unfortunately I do not….I think she is dearly missed in our community! ❤️

[@bozomahoney]

Art Glitter Glue needs to change their name, because I was that person who didn't buy it for the longest time for that same reason. 😂

[@maryjager1757]

I agree! Went to hobby lobby and asked about it and they took me to the aisle with all different colors of glitter glue😳

[@DeniseS-6867]

It is gorgeous💙🩷💙

[@doreethorpe4800]

Love this journal Barbara! Your work is so inspiring, I get so many ideas and have so many projects I want to work on to incorporate those ideas. It is good that you saved your original cutting plate for the Sizzix, have you tried using a thinner plate on top when using the magnetic platform with embossing folders? I have a different machine but find that particularly with the 3d embossing folders that I sometimes don't even need a plate on the top.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks. I have, but it’s still too thick.

[@sherrydennis2419]

Such a beautiful journal! Do you keep the journals you make for the digital collage club?

[@49dragonflies]

Until now, yes….
