There is a lot going on in this video!! If you are in the "Winter Fun" swap or are interested in joining next time, please listen to the first part. Otherwise, you can skip to about 17 minutes to see the tutorial part! (: TYSM!!

[@junesefscik5801]

Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Mine is already on it's way to you, and I'm hoping you and the recipient of it will think it's pretty cool. I enjoyed making it, but it is only the first one I"ve made, so I'm thinking I did follow the directions and made it right. I watch everytime you show how to make one because I'm still learning and really enjoy seeing your creativity at work.

[@VianneyCreates]

TYSM, June! Whenever it's someone's first time making one I recommend making one for yourself first...get the hang of it. However, if you followed the guidelines then I think you're all set!! Yay! I can't wait to see what everyone makes! TYSM!

[@tracilord4854]

V, this is a Wonderful video! I'm not into these but you make all your rules very clear & it's only fair that you want to get back something as Beautiful as you've given. Thank you for always going into detail. I'm a visual learner & that's one of many reasons I Love watching You! Love your TN's. I Absolutely Love the Winter one. You have a nack for these for sure! ❤😘

[@VianneyCreates]

Thank you so much, Traci! It's really not like me to be "strict," but when it comes to basic foundation of what comes along with the TNs...I think it's very important. Style? Budget? That's all on the person who signed up, but the basics need to be met. I think that's only fair, too! (:

[@tracilord4854]

@@VianneyCreates Exactly!!! ❤

[@anayinthelife2000]

Aww that Fall TN is so pretty!!! Fall is by far my favorite season. I absolutely love those papers! Whoever receives your TN is lucky 😍😍😍

[@VianneyCreates]

Yay!! Thank you so much!

[@debschlicksup2973]

Yes, Miranda, you were very good! So proud of your mama! Great video, Vianney!

[@VianneyCreates]

Awww, thank you so very much! I hope you're doing well, Deb! It's been a while. (:

[@cathyfox2240]

Hi Vianney, I am always amazed at how quickly you make the journals, it turned out beautifully! I know your friend will treasure it forever… I sure would! Miranda you were a perfect little angel I wish we could see your sweet face sometime! Thanks for going over everything again, it made a Saturday night fun!

[@VianneyCreates]

Aww, thank you so much, Cathy! I love whipping these puppies up! LOL!! I totally forgot Miranda had immediately asked if she "was good." I was going to leave it in anyway bc ...adorable...but didn't even think about it again until you guys began mentioning it! LOL!! What a sweetie! Have a great night!

[@jeannelomano1331]

Great class, Teach. Glad to see this video here. Was such a boring evening on tv. Always enjoy watching you create.

[@VianneyCreates]

Awww, LOL!! Happy to provide you with some creative content!! TYSM, Jeanne!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

You stated that very well, that we (the swappers) will benefit from your guidelines and people adhering to them. That snippet strip seems super cute. I love your fall TN.

[@VianneyCreates]

Yay! TYSM, Marilyn! It was great chatting with you earlier. I hope my message gets across as intended, and I am more than happy to make sure the swaps adhere to the guidelines. (:

[@nitatrueblood6955]

OMGosh Vianney, Your winter TN is so beautiful!!!!! I cannot wait to see everyone's!

[@VianneyCreates]

Awww, thanks so much! I like a simple and clean TN. (:

[@shennahull2183]

Oh Vianney This is another great class and information, I watch your classes over and over again, when I am able to join in the fun, I don't want to disappoint you or my swap partner...Your such a wonderful blessing to all of us and I love and respect rules..guidelines..I'm hoping to get one of those long arm stapler...Thank you so very much..I'm getting used to this chemo (Tasingna) and trying to pack up to move down to Tennessee sheww...Well I need to hush up lololol....I just feel like you my friend...I hope that you and your family is doing great and enjoying fall ....Have a Beautiful Blessed Night.....

[@VianneyCreates]

Thank you so much, Shenna! I hope you are doing very well and the meds aren't too hard on you. What a busy and hectic time it must be with your move and everything. You are always in my prayers.

[@andreasimerl7008]

Thank you for the clarification and information. The TN you made is lovely! Im sure your friend will love it! I enjoyed seeing you make it in real time. Thank you for sharing and for doing these swaps! So much fun and I have learned so much!

[@VianneyCreates]

TYSM, Andrea!!! I so look forward to what you came up with! I just hope to run a smooth, fun, and fair swap...so far, I think we've done that! (:

[@amyt6254]

Thank you for this excellent video! I have not participated in one of your swaps, but hope to do so in the future. I think it is wonderful that you try to make the guidelines so clear and fair for everyone. Your guidelines are great and your project is fabulous! Thank you for showing us how to create such wonderful travelers notebooks!

[@VianneyCreates]

That is so very kind, Amy! Thank you! I don't like sounding so "strict" but that's really the only way people will have a great experience. That's all that matters to me. (: Thank you for the feedback. I hope you do join in the future. (It's kind of funny, this morning I have been thinking I should just stop doing them bc some people do get upset when I let them know there is an issue with their swap...but your comment has rejuvenated me!! Thank you for that!)

[@kmatto_kmatto]

Love that there is guidelines with the swaps. Especially as we've now had some opportunity to make them, basic standards/quality is key. Loving the paper pad you used. My swap partner with the Fall mini TN (shout out to Sue McDonell) used it and it came out so beautiful. I'll have to go get that paper pad!

[@VianneyCreates]

TYSM! I think guidelines are essential!

[@Bedalouwho]

Love this Travelers notebook

[@VianneyCreates]

Awww, thank you!! That's good to hear! (;

[@niascraftynana]

Vianney, you can probably make these traveler’s notebooks with your eyes closed, lol. Miranda, you were as quiet as a little mouse. We would actually love to see more of you. 😊 ❤️

[@VianneyCreates]

Awww, thank you! The numbers are burned into my brain, it seems! LOL! I know, I would have my little one say "hi" every once in a while, but until I better understand what KZbin deems "for kids" and "children appearing in videos..." I'm not going to mess with it.

[@niascraftynana]

@@VianneyCreates I totally understand.

[@christinekastens150]

Sure enjoyed watching you make another Travel Journal. I need to get a laminater.

[@VianneyCreates]

Thanks for watching! I really love using my laminator, it's great!

[@TheresaBrown]

I finished my swap today, will record a quick video tomorrow and get it in the mail! I had a lot of fun with all of the details and can’t wait to see everyone’s submissions!! 😃❄️⛄️

[@VianneyCreates]

Yay! I look forward to your video and seeing your swap in real life! (:

[@barbarajackola8701]

Love that Fall notebook

[@VianneyCreates]

TYSM, Barbara!

[@Sewcrafty1013]

Thanks for this video. I enjoy watching you make these. I learn something every time and it gets 'ingrained in my brain' more. Maybe I will get brave and join a swap sometime. ~Janice

[@VianneyCreates]

LOL!! You'll have the numbers burned in in no time! (: TYSM, Janice! We would love to have you!

[@Sewcrafty1013]

@@VianneyCreates I've made 2 TN's for friends and I always have to look up your video to see how to put the elastic in!

[@drlelou]

I was so bummed not to be able to participate this time. Life has just been too chaotic. I love watching what everyone makes and plan to take my time and make my own…. Of course, my laminated needs to be replaced now lol

[@VianneyCreates]

Awww, thank you, Laura! I hope to do one more laminated TN swap in October...maybe. Maybe you can join then. It's so much fun to see what everyone designs. (:

[@barbarawalsh2875]

Thank you so much for showing the stringing again I didn't have to go back to other videos I found it right away. I watched it once through just to watch it again and then backed it up and as you started it I threaded it so that I know I've got the right thing going. I didn't procrastinate and I am the master procrastinator for a while but it will go tomorrow the last day. I'll text you the information when I get back from the post office. I really have enjoyed this a lot more than my first Endeavor and I think that's the bottom line is your first Endeavor you're just so overwhelmed you don't know what you're doing and then this one I washed and took it in and where I thought I'd have a problem I did go back and look at it again and found out I was okay was just getting a little hyper. But you'll hear it a hundred more you are worth a million to US. The time you spent getting this project off the ground and then having to go back and recap it for people like me I really really appreciate it, regards, Barbara

[@VianneyCreates]

Wow, that is so kind, Barbara. Thank you for the kind words and the heads up on your shipping. I hope you did have more fun this time around. (: I'm sure it does take a lot of guts to get something like this going to begin with, and am glad to hear this time was smoother for you!

[@suehollahan6910]

I’m all finished with my tn except for the pen clip/holder! Had my daughter print pages for me- couldn’t print on my iPad 🙁. Received my folders today ! So exciting thank you for putting up with us!

[@VianneyCreates]

Awww, thanks so much, Sue! Hey, whatever works. Until I finally learned how to print correctly, I did waste quite a bit and pulled out a few hairs. Phew, I finally got past that. You all are too kind, thank you! I hope you're having fun with it. The folder swap was soooo much fun, and all of the feedback has been amazing. Yay!

[@Jimba01]

I'm so sorry that I wasn't able to participate with this swap. I just love the "winter fun theme". At the time of annoucement , my mom was on hospice and her' health had been rapidly declining. She died on Sept. 07, 2021. Things are hectic now, however, as soon as I can, I will be making my own Winter Fun Laminated TN to keep up witih everyone. I just know that everyone will do a super job in creating their folders. Have Fun!

[@VianneyCreates]

Thank you so much, Gina. My prayers continue to be with you and your family, may your mother Rest In Peace.

[@lindawalker5675]

I mailed mind yesterday (Saturday the 18th). It should arrive on Tuesday.

[@VianneyCreates]

Yay! I look forward to it. TY!

[@allyalligator1928]

Oh Vianney, what a great tutorial. Hou have explained it beautifully. Please feel free to send mine back. I now realize the papers must be the same size as the covers. I thought they were supposed to be just a bit smaller 🤔 on the inside of the insert covers. Sorry. Alice

[@VianneyCreates]

No worries, Alice. Yes, they might be a smidge smaller on the inside...just not like an inch smaller. Does that make sense? They really do measure 5 x 7, maybe 4 7/8 x 6 7/8. But not much smaller than that.

[@joemarieromero4010]

Oh dang I watched this video with my hubby guess I didn’t hear the 22nd 😭😭😭😭 Vianney I will send mine out next time ahead a time sorry 😢 I did enjoy making the snippet strip 👍🏻⭐️🥰

[@VianneyCreates]

No problem! TYSM, Marie!

[@lavonnickens2883]

Great job. This was beautiful! What is the name of the paper pad used and where can it be purchased?

[@VianneyCreates]

TY! Sorry, I glossed over that part...I did mention it later in the video. It's "give thanks" from Michaels.

[@dianajackman7213]

My printer only prints on one side. It is too hard for me to figure it out. I just use plain paper. Thanks for helping us feel better

[@VianneyCreates]

No worries, that's kind of what I was trying to get at...if it's not possible...just don't do it. (: There are plenty of other papers out there that one can use. TY, Diana!

[@alicemel7074]

Vianney, is there a good Monthly planner free printable link that you have found? i took a look through your links to see if I could find one but no such luck (unless I completely overlooked it). Thanks.

[@VianneyCreates]

Thanks for asking, no, I haven't found one yet!

[@alicemel7074]

@@VianneyCreates Please let us know if you do, would love to use one in my travelers notebook. Thanks in advance!!

[@alicemel7074]

Vianney - what program are you in on your mac to open and print the inserts from? Is it Adobe or another program?

[@VianneyCreates]

That's a great question...if it's a download in PDF format....I guess it opens up in Adobe. I really don't know. I don't manipulate it, I just print it. Sometimes they open in Word. Like I said, it just depends on the download. Either way, I don't mess with them...I just hit "print."

[@BerniBernsify]

So I encourage people not to fret over "wasting" areas of the laminator sheets. We don't have to try and fit in stickers and things bcuz the left over laminated scraps can be used for this - save the strips to use on box cards or anything else that requires an acetate strip 🙂

[@VianneyCreates]

Sounds great! I think it's better to do that than try and put in other things that may ultimately mess up laminating what you do want laminated. (:

[@mercedescampbell813]

Hey guys, please include your email addresses so people like me can say "thank you for the swap" I also did not do this on the first two and regretted it because I like knowing you enjoyed the swap. I do love all my folder swaps, but only have two people to thank. So, thank you to all the people that swapped with me. Have a happy crafting day!!!

[@VianneyCreates]

TYSM, Merky!! Have a good one!
