[@TaraIncognita]

I love your whimsical projects. I know they are out of your comfort zone, but they always look amazing. And I know you think you can't draw or paint, but the same goes for a lot of us and it is a joy to see you turn these simple ideas into magnificent projects that are accessible to anybody regardless of talent. They always look extraordinary. Thank you!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much! You know me so well ❤️❤️❤️

[@elter1979]

I love the whimsical Rainbows Natasa, thank you for sharing.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@RusticJournals]

I dont know how you manage to come up with so many creative ideas, it must be a gift you have. Love the rainbows and the journals. Have a lovely Sunday x

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

I will be brutally honest - when KZbin popped up the suggestion for this video, I thought "usually I like her videos, but this one is just too cutesy for me..." Well, later on, I had a tedious task to do and I thought, "Well, I will play it but just as background noise." Well, very quickly, I was paying more attention to the video than the chore! Yes, it is cute (something I have an almost pathologicall aversion to), but it is the good kind of cute; the words charming, whimsical and free spirited,( used as sincere compliments) apply. Thank you- for the inspiration and for the reminder to not be so judgemental!

[@traceysfootprints8660]

Absolutely L❤️VE your talents SOOOooo very much!…so much so that I just purchased your book! I had an idea for you to run with for this project! Add your clouds to the “sky” with wonky raindrops (maybe tear drops?) and add the sentiment, “ Some days we need to make our own rainbows.” Looking forward to giving this a go! Thanks for all you do!

[@cathierayes4226]

So fun!!! And you brought in Zentangle! I recognized the tangles, since I've done them too (my favorites are Apacoreand Stella). Love it, just so much fun!!

[@miriamkivlehan3498]

Fab, fab fab! Looking forward to the paper dying and maybe soon after you can do a 'painty paper' tutorial? Thank-you Natasa for another Sunday Inspo. 🙏 Happy Easter 🐰

[@ccdy3217]

Love your ideas!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you! 😊

[@conniec4629]

Awesome ideas as always!❤

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you! 😊

[@BanjoWantsATreat]

The inspiration fairy sure smiled on you this week! I have loved making the whimsical mason jars in the past and am so excited to give these rainbows a go. It just makes me happy when I see all of these beautiful projects laid out. Love, love, love!

[@janebarbour948]

Rainbows are a promise 🌈 just smiled with your rainbow colours thank you 🌈

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so very much :)

[@specialk8927]

That’s what it’s suppose to mean but they done turn it into something else😮

[@pdmullgirl]

Hi Natasha! Okay, I’m ready to finally make one of these! Well actually I’m gonna make maybe ten of them and take them to our local farmers market and try my hand at selling them!! I’m a bit nervous but I’ll never know unless I try. Thank you for your videos full of inspiration and wonderful ideas. I bought some freezer paper two weeks ago. I have tons of magazines I’m cutting out pictures, words, phrases and things like that and I’ve been fusing them with the freezer paper so they will be more sturdy and idk, look better, easier to use maybe. I want to get some ledger paper and a couple more types of paper for my journal pages and then I’m all set. You and the “Chasing Paper” channel are my inspirations. So I’m off on my journey! It’s a bit scary but so exciting too! Thanks Natasha!! ❤️💜💚

[@TubeYouLena]

Can’t wait for the painty paper & easter egg (food) dye tutorials! Including a mistake into the design is an awesome concept, love that! I do not have that awesome doodle book but I searched for ‘zentangle’ on Pinterest and saved some examples in my dedicated for doodles board there. And while at that I got (unexpectantly) inspired to make zentangeled edges for the pages of my journals (using scrap strips). Substituting posca pen with a ball stylus tool + white paint is super helpful! Adding gems inside a circle doodle is another super idea (also Pinterest showed me how to start with some fake gemstones from cheap stores glued to papers and doodle around them, so fun!

[@elizabethglenbentley7882]

Natasha, I often wonder if you actually see your design ideas in your sleep! At the rate you compile these exquisite creations, you can't possibly shut down your brain to switch off. If not, let us know your trick. Just loved the Rainbow 🌈 idea. Good for my meeting with a young lady aged 7yrs old, who asked for me to show her how to make her own journal! Many thanks for your inspiration. Denmark 🇩🇰.

[@YiotaTheodossiou]

what a great idea and inspiration! cant wait to get my hands on painting rainbows. Looking forward to the easter paint dyed papers. Thank you once again Natasha

[@natashamoore3690]

You are so creative! Thank you for sharing your brilliant ideas with us! Looking forward to the Easter egg dying paper video!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!!!

[@Tradewindsvintagehi]

The timing is perfect! I’ve been collecting papers and fun stuff for a journal I want to make for my grand daughter’s birthday. She loves rainbows❤ thank you from Hawai’i❤😊

[@TreasureBooks]

Wonderful! Thanks for watching :)

[@janetphelps6879]

I love your whimsy art. It looks doable since it doesn't have to be perfect...but when you do it, it is 'perfect whimsey'. "There are no rules", I like that!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@corriehanson1988]

Love this idea thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the Easter egg died paper!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you!!!!

[@dianetimmons7999]

You never cease to amaze me. Is your creative mind always in overdrive? I think it must be. You are so creative and come up with such unique and wonderful ideas. Thank you so much for sharing these ideas with us. I always look forward to your videos because I know they will be something out of the ordinary yet beautiful.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you very much!!! My mind is always in overdrive indeed

[@verlaruggio3148]

These are So cute! Your creativity is amazing! You're teaching this old crafter so many new tricks! I can't wait to see the Easter colored paper, too.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@susanneoerke4704]

Dear Natasha….few weeks ago i discovered your channel and i’m totally thrilled about creating little houses, envelopes and more. Normally my beloved hobby is sewing but this time…bought tons of papers, brads, hooks, stickers…and what else i found to use. so many thanks for this inspiration of creativity. Greetings from germany 🥰

[@RusticJournals]

Welcome to the journal gang. Its so addictive x

[@susanneoerke4704]

@@RusticJournalsthank you

[@TreasureBooks]

Wonderful!!! Thank you for watching

[@joannweber4393]

I love whimsical! Perhaps your childlike one could be a gift for an expectant mother to keep her "waiting for baby" baby notes.

[@TreasureBooks]

I like that idea 🤗

[@BalayNiKitkit]

New subscriber here. I will do this sometime. Thanks a lot

[@TwobitsTiger]

What fun!!! Looking forward to your Easter egg dyed paper tutorial!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you ❤️

Such a fun addition to journal covers❤ I will have to try my hand these rainbows. Have a great Sunday

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you! You too!

[@kerenvalentin7082]

Yes, inspirational! I love your rainbows, I think they look great. Not everyone is a Michelangelo, you're more like Joan Miró, so you're in good company. Don't be hard on yourself, you are also creating works of art. 🤗

[@TreasureBooks]

Hehe I love that! Thank you! 😊

[@SharaLee60]

I love these whimsical books! I also like how you did different little doodles on them. They would be great for gifts! Thanks for sharing! ♥️😊🫂🐾🐾✨️

[@TreasureBooks]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching 🤗

[@sheilamillard3354]

These rainbows are amazing I love them! Can’t wait to get started! Thankyou so much!

[@TreasureBooks]

You are so welcome! Have fun ❤️

[@janislf7584]

Natasha, eight journals in one day! What magical madness! I love your sheer abandonment of worrying how something will come out. That is true artistic freedom. Love the rainbows. Thank you for sharing your process.

[@christine0nowell757]

They look amazing and joyous. I especially love the lines and dots and squiggles, most of us love a doodle i think. Thankyou for your inspirational ideas xx have a great week everyone ❤ ps the laminated one would be a great journal for a child, as you can wipe the cover clean .

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful week too!

[@lizessery2581]

I love it! No pressure, no worrying about being accurate, just pure enjoyment and being in the moment…anything goes. Thankyou so much, you did it so well! Xx

[@Pom88pom]

I didn’t see an area where I could comment, so I’m gonna just comment here. I don’t know it could be my iPad that has issues. Love all your ideas love the idea of a simple subject, such as the rainbow and how any the lines can add so much interest, I really appreciate you showing how you do your binding. It’s one of the best I’ve seen yet I would like to see how you add more signatures in a future video. Please thank you very much.😻🙂✨

[@KimHopper-w8v]

Can't wait to try this. What a fun video. Thank you!

[@TreasureBooks]

Have fun! Thanks for watching :)

[@debhat]

Morning Natasha! Loe love love this video. Perfect technique for Springtime journal cover toppers, which I am in need of right now! Thank you as always for being our creative guru. Cheers from Denver CO!

[@katanderson6788]

Love this! I use composition notebooks for different types of journals and this would be so cute to cover those with. Give me a chance to finally use my Tim Holtz distressed crayons. Thanks, Natasha! You always give me so much inspiration!

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

Whimsical is one of my favorites, love the idea, nice of you to show us all the beautiful things you have made, thank you for sharing, :)_

Thank you so much!

[@zeldaackerman4394]

Oh my golly, how pretty awesome are these rainbow booklets, I just love them.....❣

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@MyDjturner]

lovely journals. There is a lot you can do with the rainbows but I'm not sold on the bookmark like you demonstrated. I could, however, see the rainbow as an altered paperclip bookmark. I love using my painted pages as covers but I've started using thicker paper to paint on. Makes the covers a lot sturdier. Thanks for sharing

[@vanessasplace8690]

It;s raining so I'm stuck inside and I was so excited to see a new video! I will be making some of these today. Thank you for your continued wonderful ideas. Also, I'm excited to receive your book that will arrive this week!

[@gaynorberry5759]

Very cool idea. I want to make some now … esp with the birds! Whimsical is great. Open to anything ❤️❤️😊

I love all of these journals! I love the rainbow -thank you for showing us. I am now looking at my scraps in a whole new way 🤩 you’re awesome! 🤗🫶🤩

[@Danielleb723]

I love how you promote imperfection in a way. I have trouble with perfection. I get so caught up in it that it prevents me from doing things i want to do because i already decided in my mind that i wont do it good enough and then so many times i dont even start things i want to try. Its something im working on because its unnecessary anxiety im inflicting on myself. I do find beauty in imperfection im just not as accepting of my own imperfections for some reason. Thanks for sharing your awesome ideas.

[@csanchez1020]

I've had a finished journal that still needed cover art. I like the artistic rainbows.

[@TreasureBooks]

Have been a “doodler” since idk when- I have a go-to doodle that i have been drawing , gosh, dare I say since middle school? It is my comfort doodle. I also have a zentangle book! I remember getting chided as a child for “outlining” all of my coloring pages with a black crayon!!! Love your rainbows!!!! Happy rainbows- am def trying!!!

[@londongael414]

I like these as covers - it's like you go through the rainbow, into the journal. Maybe would also work as a door, with an elaborate doorframe?🌈

[@TreasureBooks]

Ohhh I love that idea!! Thanks for watching :)

[@beatrizazevedo7637]

Designing is making decisions, several times the decisions have yo be made ahead of the step the artist is in, for example, deciding on the ribbons that will serve as a closure for the journal. I see you're good at making these decisions. ❤

[@catherinekirby6745]

I'm definitely looking forward to next weeks video. I am loving your book "Treasure Bookmaking" too. I am definitely going to make some whimsical rainbows for journal covers.

[@mariasolorio8542]

Loved this project! I liked the idea of hanging beads off the rainbow. Wouldn't raindrops be awesome! The last journal gave me Trapper Keeper vibes. I know I am dating myself mentioning the Trapper Keeper. But those were so cool in my day. Thanks for sharing your brilliant ideas ❤

[@artsyreg]

So much fun, Natasa! I love to do wonky drawings and plan to use these techniques for an entire wonky book. Thanks for inspiring my next journal! ❤

[@plauditecives]

I think they look great close up! When I first saw the covers, I thought they were done with printed papers, so I think it's a quality technique. And thanks for introducing me to the Zentangle Sourcebook. Never heard of it before.

[@retroredux1]

I really love what you did in this video Natasha. It has given me a lot of ideas and starting points. Thanks

[@susanmills9718]

Love this project Natasa, definitely going to try it. Also loved the tentacle zentangles. I was thinking how fantastic they looked when you said you didn't love them! Cant wait for the easter egg paper, looing forward to it. Thank you x
