Using scraps to make embellishments

[@barbaracheatham692]

I realize this is a year old, but I just loved listening to you Rachel and your sister, Sarah. I would love to visit Italy someday. My mom went on a cruise tour a few years ago. She loved her trip. I love all of the things you make. You are so talented. I think I could watch and listen to a video for as long as you could tape.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@sheriking4041]

We just craft along with you so it doesn’t matter how long your videos are. You are fun to listen to. Love the history lesson

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much Sheri!

[@evadenebrosky6589]

Loved every minute. Don't you worry about a video being long. We hate when it ends. So glad you are getting a nice visit with your sister. When your sister creates a new crafty bit you can call it Sister Sarah creation.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much Evadene! Great idea!

[@andreajohnsMyPotteryBliss]

Thanks for the Italian history lesson. I like it when you talk about Italy. It’s a place I’ve never been to and know little about. What’s most interesting is daily life there now. After a short amount of time sight seeing all I really want to do is talk with the folks that live there. Loved the tags. Crafting along with you as you and your sis visit.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@rosbarkla9741]

Who knew clipping bits of paper together and sewing them could be so much fun. I also enjoyed Gayle's video.

[@roxycreations679]

So much fun! Can’t wait to make more! Thank you so much 😊

[@WoodlandInspired]

What an fun video love listening to the sissy's crafting and giving history lessons. I so love hearing your travels and all about its history it is so fascinating. Thank you for sharing your inspirations.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much Celeste! I really enjoy knowing the history of place I visit!

[@rankinstudios5342]

Love hearing your Italian escapades! Enjoyed this video!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@anthonycooper476]

I had so much fun watching and crafting along with u and Sarah. Tfs. I luv all these, and have fun in Rome ☺️ luv Bonnie

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much Bonnie ! We just spent the afternoon in the Sistine Chapel and basilica

[@anthonycooper476]

Heaven☺️

[@tracytanasiychuk8787]

I found you during Covid quarantine so today I’m thrilled to see an older video with your sis. You have been a brilliant light during our difficult time. Thank you from Canada. Blessings

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@juneribbons5196]

I like this way to use your scraps espically Sarah's playing card one. they are all very nice. Both you and Sarah are very talented. Thank you for being you !! I always keep even the smallest scrap to be used elsewhere. I've made diagnel tags with both my small scraps and larger scraps. They turn out beautiful

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@collenrose3957]

I love-love hearing the bit abt the poor guy in the jail tower. The tag with the daisy was my favorite. Have a blessed trip. 🌈🙏💛💛🌈

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you! 😊

[@sherryrector2275]

I enjoyed this video very very much. So nice to hear you and your sister laughing and giggling. I love history Rachel. I wanted to be an Archaeologist

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much 😊! We had a lovely time 😁

[@ericastannard2635]

I still say I’m going to be an archeologist when I grow up, even at almost 65!! Probably isn’t going to happen, haha!

[@joank8370]

Such a fun video! Love having the Journal Queens working together!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much 😊

[@annabellagardner3190]

Can't wait to do this too, they're all so pretty. 🌸💗🌸 Love hearing accents from home. Sigh

[@pamminevins3818]

Loved your crafting time with your friend. I keep learning so much how to make things and now a little lesson on Italy. 😊 I’ve been making spring Easter tags while listening/watching you. Thanks.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@sharenbell2518]

Love love the history chats!! While learning what fun!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much 😊

[@weaver7249]

These tags are absolutely beautiful! I kept saying "that one" "that one". This tutorial helped me tremendously - I am new to this. Thank you!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much Dana!

[@tfntexas]

I absolutely love these little pieces and tags that you made! Thank you Sarah and Gayle! Have with your sister before she leaves...

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much Tammie!😊

[@ericastannard2635]

Really cool little embellishments! Oh & a name for sister Sarah’s: “S’embellishments”, of course that’s French & not Italian. Maybe you could make a similar phrase in Italian! It was so nice to hear you guys bouncing ideas off each other, I liked your squeal when you saw the one where she used a playing card! I’m going to round up some of my grandmother’s cards! AND I LOVE it when you delve into history (much better than a dry old guidebook!) If I ever get to Italy (don’t worry about that, haha!) I’m going to talk you into hitting the roads with me! Oh boy, we would have fun! Well, that’s a nice thought! Thank you again for sharing your video with us, they’re never too long! Since this video is already at least 2 years old I won’t wish your sister safe travels, instead I’m hoping she & the rest of your Aussie relatives are safe & sound while the pandemic is still wreaking havoc. Blessings to all!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@jeanneblondewomanstamping9788]

Fun video with you and your sister knocking things over. Lol 🤣 ...Love the scrappy embellishments. TFS. 🤗

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much 😊! We had fun!

[@kessell637]

What a fun video! Loved seeing both of your collaging styles.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

So fun! Loved the scrappy embellishments you both made and really loved the tags!! Thanks so much for the multiple mentions! I was absolutely delighted to listen to you two doing the sister giggle! How lovely for you two to have such special time together! Big hugs to you both! ❤️

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much Gayle! It was fun to have Sas here. I’m thrilled she’s decided to go ahead with a KZbin channel! Hopefully she’ll find time to do many videos!

[@sallywally711]

Love love love your videos. I did some scrappy embellishments and that's all I want to do now. Hahah so much fun. From North Carolina, USA. THANKS SO MUCH.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much Sally!

[@scrappycavie5151]

So fun!!! I love your collage creations!! Have fun in Rome.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@artcraftjournals]

Had a little chuckle, because I’m sitting in bed atm doing exactly the same thing. Such and easy and relaxing crafting job. Also thinking how lucky you are to have a sister who is interested in crafting and you can craft with. I’m 1 of 6 and not one of my siblings (or parents) are interested. Sue 💜

[@roxycreations679]

That's too funny! I can just picture you!

[@ruthportway5198]

Art, craft & journals I have 3 sisters and we all sew. I knit and crochet as well but only I sister knits but none of the are interested in paper crafting but they and my two brothers do like receiving my cards

[@pamketron]

Y’all had a fun time crafting together. They turned out really pretty. Enjoy your trip.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@marymcmullen6902]

So many enjoyable things about this video Rachel! Firstly, crafting with your sister....fun! This is such a great way to use up scraps and I adore your style (Sarah’s too!). You two made me laugh. I would love love love a process video on your fabric scrap roll. Tell Sarah I’m heading over to check out her channel ❤️.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much Mary! We had fun 😂

[@brandythompson6544]

I watched Gayle's video, Sarah's video and yours- all so different - but the same. Fun to see all the differences. Everyone puts their own little touch on them- and they are so fun and easy- anyone can do it!!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@wildaltarose]

I just wish I could have joined you in your workshop...looks like tons of fun.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you for helping me, I now will be making some pre made back grounds for my small images! I love to make journals and am forever looking for a way to use scraps for ephemera.

Thank you so much!

[@kathylahring7071]

I enjoyed every minute of this video. How sad that your sister has to leave. Hugs, Kathy

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@1jmass]

I kept seeing funny things happening here. First it resembled a restaurant buffet where you just choose a bit of this and a bit of that. Then it became a card game. You would discard a scrap and a hand would appear and pick one up. What fun, and the results are so very nice.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@JunkJournalTreasures]

Another wonderful video! Glad you’ve had such a great visit with your sister!

[@roxycreations679]

Love watching your process videos. Beautiful results I got my sister doing some collage with me over the holidays as well this past season. After this visit you and your sister will have to coordinate your crafting times and post a joint video!

Thank you so much! That's a great idea!

Hi, if one was to visit Italy during April and/or May next year, what craft-type places, markets, etc, would you recommend as great to go to? Might make it to France also if you know any there. Thanks so much.

[@roxycreations679]

Hi Elysia, I'll be doing a blog post soon about things I recommend. I'll probably mention it on a video when it's up.

[@vivianwebb7670]

I’m sitting here pointing at scraps of paper trying to get you to pick it. 😂

Oh I wish I could see! i hope we agree, lol! Thank you so much!

lol lol Yes !!!!! I do that all the time when watching Rachel ....over there ..there ..NO not that one...Hoorah you found it That's perfect 👍

[@sherryrector2275]

Lol while the nerve. But I fell into the same thing in Mexico. Pressured.

[@deborahwilkinson8685]

this probably seems as a silly question,what's the difference between ephemera and embellishments?

[@roxycreations679]

Hi Deborah, I’m not an expert but I think ephemera is things like receipts, letters, tickets, old images and so on. Embellishments decorate something so you can use ephemera to embellish 😂! That’s how I interpret it😀

[@CorinneXoXoX]

hello love, what is the name of your sisters youtube channel???
