Hi I’m a new subscriber to your channel, I’m also a coffee lover so when I saw your channel on coffee I had to go and see what it’s all about and I got hooked and had to subscribed to see your other journal and I love it thank you for sharing your journals💕
Hi there! Awwww! Thank you so much for your lovely comments! ❤I am so glad you like the coffee journal and other journals! She just loved it and cracks up because there is so much of her and I in it but she's the coffee addict! I want to create a journal of just her and I with our memories growing up but I think if I put that on YT people would think we were absolutely crazy! lol! Thank you for watching and for subscribing! Best To You, Dee Dee💕
Thank you so much for your beautiful comments! ❤ She and I clicked the moment we met and acted like we were friends always...a true friend and I am blessed. So many great memories with her! Thank you for watching!💕
Awww you are so sweet! Thank you for your lovely compliments! They were really fun to create! Both of my friends love receiving theirs! Thank you for watching and the best to you! 💕
You can adhere paper to the lined composition notebook paper to make it thicker if that interests you. I do that sometimes when I use different mediums. I hope that helps! 😊Thank you for watching!💕
I’ma new subscriber ~ I just found your channel. This is So beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your pieces AND your process! If you have any advice for folks like me who used to be creative when younger, but now at retirement I’m having a difficult time actually putting pen, brush, stencil, etc. to paper, I’d love your advice for how to actually get started again! Thank you. 💜
Hey there! Love your YT @ name! I just love the moon and the night sky! ❤ Thank you so much for subscribing and your lovely compliments! ❤ I think this is the perfect time in this stage of life to start creating again! I would find what you navigate to and just try it! Find what mediums you like to create with. You can use a lot of things around the house so you don't spend tons of money when you first start out. If you like to journal or want to make a journal you can start with old mail or old papers using some paints and stencils and just play! I made a few videos on my channel where I played around in composition notebooks that cost around a dollar and you can put anything in them. Great way to find out the no no's and the likes. I discovered I don't like acrylic paint in art but I like to alter things and use it in other ways. Also, for me I have learned don't over think things - this will make one tend to hesitate. If you were creative at a younger age you will pick right back up on it! Most definitely! 💕
Can you tell me the line that the floral scrapbook paper on the front is from? It is so pretty!! This journal is just wonderful, what a wonderful friend you are!
Hi there! I am so sorry but I honestly do not know. I think I purchased it in Michael's in a 12x12 paper pad. If I come across anything in my stash I will certainly let you know! Thank you for your lovely compliments! She absolutely loved it! She just kept shaking her head! Thank you for watching and the best to you! 💕
Hello! Some pages I used other paper depending on what medium I was creating with. If I used watercolor paint then I adhered watercolor paper over top of the line paper. Sometimes I used scrapbook printed paper and other times I glued two of the line pages together. If I used one page of the lined paper only sometimes I would use acrylic paint because the paint is thicker and covers better. I hope that helps and thank you for watching!💕
Hi! Thank you so much! She just loved it and was in awe. I wanted her to have a little fun and get her mind off of things for a bit! I'm glad you liked the video and thank you for watching and your lovely compliments! 💕 I really appreciate it! 💕
You did an outstanding job designing this coffee journal! There were many times during the video where I laughed, but the pages that cracked me up were the "What Lies Beneath" ones! 😂🤣😂 Yes, someone who didn't understand would certainly think they were a weird wish or jinx! I liked the use of coffee sleeves. The ones for her to use were darling! I like that your journal design is not overly embellished. I don't see many of those. Your techniques throughout were so inspiring. I too am a coffee-lover. If I had received this gift, I would feel like the maker really cared for me. It's been 3 years and I guess your friend has about filled up her journal. TFS! I had a delightful time watching while I was eating my breakfast and, of course, drinking C*O*F*F*E*E!!!
Hi there! Awww thanks so much for your lovely compliments! ❤ I am so glad you enjoyed the video! Till this day she works in the journal adding things, etc! One day I would like to make a junk journal of all our memories together! That would be a riot! Thanks for watching and enjoy your coffee!!! Best to you! 💕 Dee Dee
I think this is absolutely wonderful. Having a friend like you is a treasure beyond words. I have no family. I was cancer ghosted by my friends and my church and would go for weeks without even a text. I can't even imagine how loved your friend will feel. God will bless you for showing her this love.
Hi Sandy! I am so incredibly sorry that happened to you and I am so sorry that you had to endure your illness! I hope that you are doing much better! ❤ Support is so huge when going through something so hard. I am sure you are a warrior! ❤ She was so beyond words when I gave it to her. She and her husband just kept turning the pages and shaking their heads laughing and crying! She loves to craft so having it handmade and about our friendship was so special to her! Thank you for your lovely comments and thank you for watching! Blessings to you and keep strong! 💕
Hi there! Yes, it depended on what medium I was using. If I used watercolor then I used watercolor paper that I adhered to the composition notebook paper. If I was using card stock decorative paper then that was adhered. Sometimes I would just glue two pieces of the composition notebook pages together if I didn't use any other kind of paper. Thank you! She was over the moon when I gave it to her! Thank you for watching!💕
Hi there! Unfortunately, I do not know and I do apologize! I gave the journal to her so I cannot go back and count them. It was a lot of pages plus I glued a lot of the pages together to make them thicker for some projects. You get quite a lot and you can go really far for such an expensive book! I hope that helps and thank you for watching! 💕
I made a watercolor journal out of this kind of composition notebook. I glued three pages together for a more stable sheet then applied two thin layers of watercolor ground on both sides of the paper I glued together . Allow it to dry open for 24 hrs and it makes a great watercolor journal. I’m working on glueing watercolor paper in the same way to create another watercolor journal version.
Wow! That is so cool to create! ❤I LOVE to watercolor and that would make such a great custom art journal! Have tons of fun! Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching! 💕
Good Morning Caroline! Awww thank you so much for the lovely comments! I had so much fun creating this journal! I have such a love for nature its was hard not to keep! Lol! Thank you so much for subscribing and thank you for watching! Blessings to you! Dee Dee 💕
This is simply the best journal and the most thoughtful gift I have ever witnessed! You are an amazing designer and artist! And obviously you are an incredible friend! So so sorry about your friend! Prayers for you both!
You are so sweet! I had so much fun creating it for her and going down memory lane! ❤ Thank you so much for your lovely compliments! Thank you for your prayers and thank you so much for watching! Blessings to you! 💕 Dee Dee
I stumbled on this video and was enthralled by all the thought and creativity that you put into this journal for your friend! Many thanks for sharing this!
Hi Virginia! Thank you so much! I really enjoyed making it! 😊 So fun to create the smaller size journals! I hope you are doing well! Thanks for watching and for your lovely comments! 💕
Hi Dee Dee one question...how is it that your book stays open flat even when its so filled up? I am thinking you work from front to back...its gorgeous and you are so creative ❤ thank you
Hey there! Yes, I work from front to back - I think from working in it so much it lays flat when opened but when closed I didn't really use a lot of thick items. Mostly paper, paint, clippings, etc. That will help to keep it more flat when closed. Thank you for your lovely compliments! ❤ Hope you are doing well!💕Dee Dee
Hi Deborah! Sure you can! I have done this also and it works great! Try anything you want to use and see where it goes! It's a great non expensive way to experiment with mediums and paper! Thanks for watching!💕
Such a beautiful journal you have created 😍. I also watched the coffee journal video. Your creativity is awesome ❤ Prayers for your dear friend. Hope she is well and on the road to recovery. I too had a very dear friend but we are not talking right now. We had a misunderstanding...I keep going over it in my mind...I miss her a lot. Thank you ❤ Rora
Hi Rora! Thank you so much for your lovely comments and prayers! 💕I am sorry you and your friend are not speaking but sometimes you just need time. Time heals and I am sure things will work out and that she misses you too. Friendship is such a blessing especially when you meet the right person! Thank you for watching and all the best to you! 💕 Dee Dee
Thank you Virginia! It was fun to think back to the nostalgic memories and then turn it into a story! Lol! Thank you for watching! Best to you! Dee Dee💕
