Vacation Pages & Journal Goodies

[@mari5832]

Very awesome. Love your videos. For the number zero on your stencil, use the right half of the number 9 (nine) either upside down if you want to place the left side first, and then turn it right side up to finish the other half of the 0 (zero). Also, the Wink of Stella, once it runs out, you can fill it back up again with water and you get a bit more "fairy footprints". They aren't as glittery as the first time around, but it works. Once that is done and finished, you have a new water or paint filled brush in your stash.

Your Manatee looks GREAT! I knew immediately when you turned the page what it was. Love your color effect, stunning! I adore Manatees. Such sweet, gentle animals! Love your pages! So pretty!

[@AliBrownie]

Thank you so so much! I think manatees are creepin' up to the own spot for me. HAHA! O_O

For the stencil, use the right side of the nine and then flip or rotate it and do the same with the left side to create the 0.

[@AliBrownie]

Great idea! :)

[@dropstitchknittr]

Beautiful and inspirational, Ali - thank you - I needed something like that this morning - having a rough time of it lately and I'm trying so hard to turn it around. This helps, so thank you.

[@AliBrownie]

[@damelemonem2703]

That bicycle pop-up & tip-in collage, Ms. Ali, hello awesome! Got me thinking how I can 'steal' the idea!

[@AliBrownie]

[@justinewhite-hadley3138]

Just got back from a family reunion too!! I adore your journaling style. I got to journal on the beach in So Cal and it was all God's peace there. Something about capturing those moments and thoughts right then, in the sand and sunshine that really stands out in your mind afterwards. I was hoping to trap some of those feelings on my page to pull out later. Make sense?? lol Thank you for sharing your treasures! God bless!!

[@AliBrownie]

TOTALLY makes sense! I love it! You and your family will treasure those places back in time I'm sure!!! :)

[@DelectableDiamond]

I can't wait to start journaling in this fashion. For such a colorful personality I'm surprised I'd just write and do nothing else. This method calls to me.

[@AliBrownie]

I think you should! It's so much fun and not quite 'scrapbooking' but adding the pictures definitely keeps the memory alive as well as words. I am having a hard time going back to Project Life since switching to this method of life documenting. So excited for your new journey! Thanks for watching!!! :)

[@AzaleaLala]

Thanks for sharing your pages. You are always so inspiring.

[@AliBrownie]

THANK YOU!!!

[@kenderuh]

I got so excited when you mentioned that WhimSoDoodle was in St Pete because I just moved there 3 months ago! Woo!

[@AliBrownie]

[@charlenebethel1158]

[@gaylegibbons6718]

Whim so doodle is awesome.

[@charlenebethel1158]

Love it...wondering where you get your numerical stamps.

[@AliBrownie]

I got the clear number stamps from Hobby Lobby. :)

[@Kathycamps]

Totally loved your journal! I'm assuming you are using the tomoe river paper - I just got some tombow markers as well - totally love them! I live in South Florida - yay!!!

[@AliBrownie]

Yes ma'am! The TR paper insert! Didn't realize you were so close!!! Next year maybe there can be a Whimsodoodle Meet Up! :)

[@Kathycamps]

+Ali Brown like 4 hours away 😊 road trip!

You're making me wanna hoard acetate and vellum pieces.

[@AliBrownie]

He he ;)

[@DriedMarigolds]

I love that store

[@MacKenzieKoppa]

I just wanted to say that artists learning by copying. For goodness sake, people sit in the Louvre and copy the Mona Lisa to try to learn da Vinci's techniques. If anyone gives you grief that's there problem. We're all learning. You're awesome and just keep doing what you're doing! (In the mean time, I'll keep binge watching your channel! 😁)

[@MacKenzieKoppa]

Artists learning? For goodness sake, I sound like English isn't my first language! (Or my only one for that matter.) 🙄 Sorry!

[@MacKenzieKoppa]

That should have been their, not there. 🙄🙄🙄 I give up! I'm going to bed!

[@AliBrownie]

Thank you so much for your encouragement!!! xoxo

[@jamiemaillette6049]

I looove your videos. You've inspired me to get back into journaling :) can you make a video showing how to make dashboards? Thanks!!

[@AliBrownie]

Thank you so much! I am so excited about your reignited passion for journaling! I can write the dashboard tutorial for a future video. Thanks so much for watchin'!!! :)

[@levay73]

Hi Ali, I love you! You are crazy funny and artistic. I would love a narrow or wide chic sparrow But I'm out of work now, I'm waiting on the Lord to open a door. Keep doing these videos you truly have a gift The way you use colors and tip ins is so artistic to me. Well I'm not that creative, but I watch so I can learn, God bless you and your family:)

[@AliBrownie]

Thank you so much! Praying you will get employment soon!!! xoxo

[@julieanngenske1292]

Ali did you ever find your neon coral pen?

[@Moon52171]

Hi Ali. whst white pen.did you use on your mermaid page please?

[@kitdubhran2968]

I'm sure you've said this already, to someone, but what kind of paper are you using? It sounds amazing with the watercolour on it!

[@AliBrownie]

It's Tomoe River paper. :)

[@spanglishfr8226]

Ok... so are you in a locker room? Lol... been watching your videos and love them but can't help wonder about the wall behind you... hahaha!

[@KatRod618]

I just became a supporter on Patreon! I love your stuff and I love that you love Jesus! ❤️

[@AliBrownie]

Thank you SO SO MUCH for your generous support! We are havin' alot of fun over there on the Patreon page! So happy to have you! xoxo

[@avocadomidwife]

Oh man! I wish I had known you were in Atlanta! Isn't IHOP amazing?!?!?!

[@AliBrownie]

Oh my goodness!!! Such a PRECIOUS group of people! We went to their Sunday evening service and were so blessed. My heart aches to be with them again. If we EVER had to move out of state, then I would go back to GA just so I could help serve that house of prayer. :)

[@donnapanzardo3058]

I love your ideas. I've been so bad lately need to get my mojo back and get back to using the dori and give the chic sparrow and try. I just don't what I want to use them for. My art is not good and it drives me crazy not being as good as I used to be. Plus I do a Fauxbo so I wasn't using the dori or other ones because I didn't want to use more than 1 at a time. which is just stupid. I can do different things in different places. I've been think about using a gift certificate for one of those Instax cameras do you don't anything about those and how they are with putting the pictures in journals? I don't have a cell phone that I can use one of those mini printers with. My brother in law said it's a waste that I can use the camera a I have and put the pictures on the laptop and make them smaller and print them out with my regular printer but never tried doing that.

[@AliBrownie]

I do have an Instax camera and I love it. I use it from time to tim. I just usually washi the corners and make it stay. The issue with the Instax is that the film is SO EXPENSIVE compared to the doing it at home or with a Selphy.

[@sydneyf9530]

what kind of white pen do you use!? I can't find one that shows up ):

[@AliBrownie]

I use a Lamy Safari with Noodler's Lexington Gray ink :)

[@jen14dec]

❤️❤️❤️

[@leftygirl1]

I have been watercolorin g my pages, using gelatos etc. But when I go to write on the pages I have trouble writing on them. My metropolitan rollerball seems to skip. What pen do you use?

[@AliBrownie]

I use a Lamy Safari fountain pen with Noodlers Ink in the color Lexington Grey. It is bullet proof and I love it because I can watercolor OVER it too. :)

[@leftygirl1]

+Ali Brown thank you!!

[@stephaniem999]

I work maybe 7 miles from this store and it takes someone on vacation here to tell me it exists. Jeez.

[@blehsme]

Let's be friends. 😊 I'm so enjoying your videos and currently trying to decide which Chic Sparrow to start with.

[@art.by.eddyeule1023]

Maybe you also could have used the left part of the 6 and the right side of the 9 to make a 0 with your numberstencil...?!? ;-)
