Thank you, Kathleen. I really admire your creativity that can turn scraps into amazing journal pieces! The results are fabulous! Please excuse my tardiness in watching this video. We have been away from home for 10 days. I’m in catch up mode! 😀💞

[@BeAgainBooks]

Thank you my friend! Your connection means the world to me.

[@nancypyter1511]

Kathleen, you make the prettiest ephemera! I just love them all!🥰

[@BeAgainBooks]

Thank you so much Nancy! I’m glad to hear it.

[@katrineleber7238]

I have little boxes and bags and envelopes of trash from every journal I have. I’m going to have a trash party too. lol. So much fun, thank you! Hugs, treen 💕💕💕

[@BeAgainBooks]

You can do it Treen! It’s kind of fun!

[@carolbeeding4270]

😍❤️ how fun!

[@BeAgainBooks]

Aw thanks Carol!

[@CPcomments]

A fun video! So clever to put the paper doily piece on top of the stem with leaves so that it ended up looking like a flower.

[@BeAgainBooks]

It struck me that way too, haha! Thanks for watching!

[@sionedjones6789]

Fun filled video lovely ephemera pieces ❤

[@BeAgainBooks]

Thank you Sioned!

[@dawnklein106]

I do this, too! Floor, desk top, bits floating about. And sometimes I get favorite pieces out of the random odds and ends.

[@BeAgainBooks]

Heaven forbid that something good should slip into the trash, haha! I’m glad I’m not the only one.

[@CreativeCrisis-Art]

Great video! It's always inspiring to see what can be done with scraps. 🙂

[@BeAgainBooks]

Thanks so much! 😀

[@mindybeveridge8377]

What a nice video, and a great idea as you finish a journal to use up those scraps!

[@BeAgainBooks]

Thanks very much Mindy!

[@janetgeist8505]

Haha….very cute opening, very beautiful cards. You are so talented. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@BeAgainBooks]

Thanks so much Janet!

[@caroltanzi29]

Kathleen: clever intro and clever use of scraps. Really nice work. Thank you for the reminder. Carol from California

[@BeAgainBooks]

Glad you liked it Carol! Thank you so much!

[@bonnielipke1962]

I love all of them ❤

[@BeAgainBooks]

Thank you Bonnie!

[@tammymchenry3675]

Love these. Perfect name as well. I love the simplicity and that you didn’t completely cover the base. ❤❤❤tyfs

[@BeAgainBooks]

My pleasure Tammy! Thanks for coming by!

[@elainet5870]

My favorite videos of yours are your Ephemera making videos, but I do much prefer your voice over the music. I watched the video over a few sessions. You made some lovely pieces with your “trash”. I use a similar method when I clean off my work table. It’s amazing what we create with our leftover pieces! 😃❤️

[@BeAgainBooks]

So true Elaine! We don’t want to miss anything, right? Thank you for watching.

[@suelawson4011]

oh wow! i absolutely love all these ideas, will definitely be able to use up all my scraps! thanks for sharing

[@BeAgainBooks]

Oh thanks so much Sue!

[@Savannahleecrafts]

I just found your channel and am working my way through videos here and there. I'm realizing how much I must be overthinking things when trying to make ephemera because you make it seem so natural to put bits of random pieces together and have it all turn out lovely.

[@BeAgainBooks]

Welcome Savannah! I’m glad you found me. Overthinking is a hazard for all of us, but thank you so much!

[@lindaspaperworks]

That was fun, Kathleen. Love all of the cute journal cards, especially the three floral ones that you said could go in the same journal. You're so good about throwing away the rest--I probably would have saved a few of those bigger pieces. ha ha. That's why I have a mess "in there."

[@BeAgainBooks]

Haha - Yes, I am learning Linda. My room is so small and I promised my husband to contain it all in one room, haha. Thank you my friend!

[@RegenaWallace-ri1ds]

❤❤

[@texasrose455km]

Adorable - BUT I wanna trade floors! All that's on mine is corn chip crumbles and dots that fell out of the hole punch. However, I will say that I have learned how to make rose bushes out of greenery clipped from magazines and little round punches from magazine pics or colored papers the color you want for your roses. 😁Looking forward to your next lovely creation!

[@BeAgainBooks]

Haha - thanks Kathleen, but I will keep my own sweepings haha! I”m glad you are liking your makes - that is wonderful!

[@tfntexas]

These were awesome!

[@BeAgainBooks]

Thanks so much Tammie!

[@BeAgainBooks]

Thank you very much!

[@lorigigglegirlarts]

so fun! thanks for sharing!

[@BeAgainBooks]

Thanks for watching!

[@debbiecooper3125]

you make everything look so fun and interesting. Love how you put together your clusters and I like the loop bows single sided! Keep up your amazing videos. Oh by the way, our Joan's hasn't kept up either and also HLobby and Michaels haven't. It seems we have to order all of Tim Holtz supplies online and everyone has tripled the prices for all the new things he just came out with so I won't purchase them at the prices they are selling them for.

[@BeAgainBooks]

Thanks so much Debbie! 😊 I hope the stores can weather the problems and come back. Online ordering is handy, but for some reason, it’s hard for me.

[@BrittanyLinger]

Love the challenge name lol you make better stuff out of the garbage than I can make with my brand new unused things 😂 I just love all the little bits and how they created so many great decorations for the cards! By the way, does Kate have any plans for making any more videos? I miss her!

[@BeAgainBooks]

Thanks so much Brittany! I appreciate your support. I honestly don’t know about Kate’s plans. I do know that she’s a fabulous mom to my wonderful grandchildren and that takes up quite a lot of time, haha. I’ll tel her you miss her.

[@mizfrog4776]

I'm still trying to figure out how you tied that bow.

[@BeAgainBooks]

Haha. Go to the settings and slow it down. Thanks so much for watching.
