[@PursuePeace777]

Oh my Anne, you outdid yourself on this! All the layers, texture, dimension ~ so yummy!! 🥰 Loving the feathers and then the contrast of the beige colored doily thing! Wow! Love it all, really do. I find myself talking and agreeing with you on the placement of all the pieces. 🤪 So much fun! Would love to see your process of decorating the inside too. I have my daughter save all her teabags. I'm a coffee fiend ~ not tea. I've got a nice little stash of different colored tea bags now. The peach tea she drinks leaves the most lovely rose colored stain. Those are my favorite!

[@odulcina]

thanks Sandy for this lovely comment. I am like you sometime, talking to videos to agree or disagree ... so funny when our brain does that! We are really into it! lollll My sister too is helping me with herbal tea bags... she keeps them all for me! 😍 because I am using more than I drink! ahah!

[@aprilcarter749]

Love all the laces & trims I’ve been waiting to see how you would decorate your beautiful bag. It’s gorgeous now I can finish mine even if I don’t have crafty me beautiful laces/trims which I would love to purchase, but she only accepts pay pal. So I will use what I have in my stash. Excited to finish mine now 😊. Thanks for sharing 🥳💕

[@odulcina]

Thank you so much! I should upload the last video for this series tomorrow ... it is the decoration of the inside. :) Stay tuned! :)

[@alphakristin63]

[@betseyleebrowning3440]

Very pretty. I am learning so much. The round sparkles on the applique are called sequins.

[@odulcina]

Oh thank you! now that you tell me, I remember! 😂😂😂🙈

[@barbaracabrera207]

Its perfect! LOVE IT!!! You did a beautiful job. I'm going to add this to my project list!!! The bit of feathers was a beautiful touch. Yes, I noticed your pink FRENCH KNOTS! Nice job on the knots. They are one of my very favorite stitches. Thx for great video. Austin,TX USA

Beautiful, TFS! I would love to see how you made the fabric flowers. I am working on a wedding album for my sister-in-law’s daughter and the flowers would look great on the cover. Merci!

[@odulcina]

Ok, I will try to make that video a bit sooner in my agenda :) I keep adding ideas and change my video priorities but yes, I should do that 'how to do silk flowers' video, it is about time now :) Thanks for the reminder! :)

[@barbaracabrera207]

I've been watching your videos over & over again. Finally got all my laces out and spread them on couch so I could see everything. Which does help. But this seems harder than it looks. I've only done 4 so far. And I do think I'm getting better. But still seems I have a long way to go yet. Am I the ONLY ONE who is finding this difficult??? Is it just ME? Do I need lots more practice??? I'm a bit frustrated. I have nice laces, so that's not it. Hum??!! Any thoughts from anyone?? Thanks!! Austin,TX USA

[@odulcina]

You are not alone, that is for sure! you need some basic like the cheese cloth and polka dot tule and some fabric lace (that is not a lace but to do clothing) to have bigger pieces instead of just a 1-2 inches width. You need some 100% cotton fabric ... and my trick has been to stick with my favorite colours only (soft colours of white, beige, pink, cream, green and blue ... all matching together). It is like doing scrapbooking ... however inventory you have, it’s finding what matches together that is the challenge! so, I make sure I only grab/buy/keep laces/fabric that are in my color palette to help me. If the pink is too vivid, if the blue is too royal ... I let it go and stick with my ‘baby’ colours, soft colours. then, the other trick for me is to see my inventory ... this is why I have a wall of laces. Speading yours on the couch is a good idea for sure 👍🏼 do you struggle more with the laces or the papers to use? ephemera?

[@barbaracabrera207]

@@odulcina Thank you so much for responding. One big problem is my terrible memory. That's why I watch your videos and then go work right away. It's bad to get old!! Haha! I think its the laces. I have cheese cloth but it always looks trashy. Not beautiful like yours. Laces ate difficult cuz they are so different. So its hard to try to copy your project to learn. I heard you say not too much glue! I have been using so much glue. And with less glue it looks better. That was a big help.

[@lorrainedurgee1761]

This is beautiful but could u do a video on the inside or just show the inside - it’s stunning, thanks .

[@odulcina]

the fist video (the link is in the description, I show how to do the inside and my next video (coming i the next days) will be decorating the inside (the pages of the journal). This is what you are looking for?

[@todoparamicasa5035]

Q belleza en mí canal también hago cositas con los encajes y tiraborda muy bonito

[@odulcina]

It seems to me like everything that has a little bit of laces is cute :) so glad you already uses laces too in your creations. :)

[@lindawinchell7346]

I know this will sound meaning, but I think sometimes we put more money into making these than o e could ever sell them for. Like applicases and laces aren't cheap. And the material flowers aren't cheap either. I feel we e gotten far a away from what j It means to reuse or junk journal. Just sayin. But I do admit it is beautiful!! You have a great eye for designing.

[@odulcina]

most of my creations, I take used laces that came from clothing, given to me from people around me that didn’t know what to do with them, doilies from thrift stores etc. I get laces from Crafty Me Shop! and buy some but those, I only use little pieces at a time as I think like you … it would value too much. I got 4 wedding dresses so far with tons of appliques at the thrift store for almost nothing and these are a real good supply for cheap laces. Ladies that stopped sewing and are glad to give me their laces … with time, you can get quite a good stash of laces for free but if you buy the laces at the regular price, you don’t sell the project, you keep it for yourself :) For me, the creations are a hobby to create, I don’t do them for the money even if I appreciate getting money for them but if I calculate my time, it is not paid a lot for sure. 🙈

[@maryboggs2534]

Crafty me might be supplying you with free laces, but she's only been successful in getting me 1 of 3 orders over the past couple of months. Looking for a more reliable source. Beautiful project tho.

[@odulcina]

😢 still waiting for your orders or they have been lost?
