Super, wie du das harte Ringbuch umgestaltet hast, sehr mutig und wunderschön gestaltet. Die Stoffe sind sehr interessant, Du und Luise, ihr seid ein unschlagbares Team❤.
Hi Barbara, That turned out great!!!...I never suspected that you would have turned that hard cover binder into a soft cover.. that was so awesome since we all know how much you love the soft covered journals... 👍 Great job !!
Yay 🎉 the countdown begins! Thank you for doing dephemerember again. I know it's a lot of work, but it has become a festive highlight 😊 I was a beginner when you ran the first one, and there is still so much to discover. Thank you ❤
Barbara, I just love the way your cover turned out. I love it. Ephy is just the cutest little mouse, and so happy. He makes me happy. I cannot wait till Dephemerember is here..This year I feel is going to be great :) Thank you for the Freebie and all the video's.
You're a terrific artist Barbara, I just wish I had your brain. I'm not bad at making journals, and people who buy them, love them, but I know their minds would be blown if they saw your journals! You're incredible. You really do inspire me. Thank you for sharing your beautiful journals with us, I truly appreciate it. Take care and have a great weekend. I can't wait to see the next steps of this journal. xx❤😊😊😊😊😊
I love your soft cover! I wasn't sure how the ring binder was going to work but once you added the ephemera that Luise made you it looks great and makes more sense to me. I am so excited for December to get here to watch you both everyday!!!
Thank you so much for all these wonderful ideas! You and Luisa have completely spoiled us..not just dephemerember but an additional two months before with all these extras treats! It’s super appreciated and very generous. Thank you!, 🥰 I’m really looking forward to December.
What an absolutely brilliant solution!! In the beginning I had some problems with breathing 😅 but your cover turned out absolutely amazing! I'm happy that you're happy with it now !
I love what you have done with the ring binder cover. I have made a soft cover journal for Dephemerember but not a ring binder. This is because my arthritic , shaky fingers don't manage ring binders very well. I can't ❤❤wait for the prompt list.❤❤
I thought I was satisfied with a retro A5 ringbinder I found but I then switched to cutting down a battered ringbinder and recover with fabric. I never would have thought to have done that. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! I too was a little blah with the hard cover binder and was not planning on using if for this year Dephemerember issue, BUT you saved the day! Thanks for the inspiration. Soft cover (paper bags and/or fabric) are my favorite at the moment. ❤❤❤❤❤
My fabric bowl and cover are drying now. I actually put a kraft brown folder away for the project, so I was very pleased you and Luise went this way. Can't wait to see the results in the morning and put my scraps in the bowl. I am ready for Dephemerember 😀
I have been looking for a soft cover binder for years! Who knew I could make my own! I made one following your video and I am absolutely in love with the process. I bought separate spines for the binder instead but it works amazingly well. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Yep, I’ll be cutting and reconfiguring the spine of my binder as well, when it arrives. I don’t care for fussing with a journal that won’t stay open easily😂.
Hello Barbara 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 ok gotta say I like your cover idea. I was never a fan of ring binders for journals. A planner yes. You cover is darling. I have your digi’s in my cart so cool. Hugs from Indiana US. I’m coming your way in 2025.
You always have the most gorgeous fabrics for your journals! I like the patchwork cover you made this time. I've found an online shop in the US that carries Tim Holtz and Seth Apter fabrics. It's called the Fat Quarter Shop, and their prices seem reasonable. Also, two women quilters I met at a craft show this past summer just gifted me a shopping bag full of their fabric scraps! When I asked them last August what they did with their scraps, they couldn't believe I actually wanted them. Hooray! Knowing how fat your journals usually become, I'm surprised you didn't choose a 3-inch ring binder for Dephemerember!
Love the way you’ve created the best of both worlds by using the ring binder & making a soft cover. I’m tempted to cut the ring binder section off the covers, then glue the hard pieces onto fabric with a gap between the ring section & the covers, to make a firm fabric cover with a flexible spine so the journal lies completely flat but is extra durable 🤔
I’m having a bit of a tough time but there is one thing I’m definitely looking forward to: dephemerember! Crafting always lightens my mood 🥰 This year, I’ve made a December journal with allll the colours, not vintage and grungy at all… so I’m going to challenge myself to follow along with dephemerember in a completely different style 😱🙈 let’s hope it works out and I will definitely have fun with all your videos 💜
I am inspired to try a ring binder style journal. I have seen the ring spines for sale at different craft stores so I guess I’m going shopping! In the meantime I am prepping some of the printouts and following the videos Thanks for sharing! Your cover is amazing!
I can’t wait to make a fabric bowl. Right now my fabrics are in a box SOMEWHERE in the house. We recently moved and I’m waiting for a shop to be built before unboxing. Wish me some patience, please!!!
Thats why i have decided to make a travel journal style book for dephamerember. All the advantages of the binder but no spine to make and the freedom to put in or take out papers.
I created my glued fabric container using a small box. The sides are too short to hold anything beyond 3” high, lol. However, it turned out to be perfect size to hold tea bags in the kitchen drawer. So it’s a win one way or another, lol. Love your new Digitals and I might use the Dephemerember fun to create something for next years journaling.
Fab job, Barbara. I did something similar using individual rings and book pages, however I don't like the way the rings bounce around making the whole thing a little cumbersome. I think I'll try your version. Veronica x 😊
I love the way that you made this binder. These are my favourite colours as well Barbara. Ephy is such an adorable addition. So here’s a weird English thing. (I was a teacher for thirty years and taught many students who’s first language was not English). Your English is so immaculate I hate to mention this but I feel as if you just might want to know. There is a word in English that is width but there is not a word heighth. It is height. I know, English is a horrible language to learn because so many rules are broken all of the time! 😖 🤗🇨🇦🤗
Ich bin schon wahnsinnig gespannt auf den Dephemerember. Dein Cover ist sehr schön geworden, auch wenn du die Idee nicht ganz so toll gefunden hast, scheinst du ja für dich eine gute Lösung für dich gefunden zu haben. Das sind sehr schöne Stoffe, die du verwendet hast. Ich habe mein Cover diesmal auch mit gerissenem Stoff verschönert. Hatte erst überlegt, es so ähnlich wie du zu machen, wegen dem Nähen, das mir fehlte, hab mich dann aber dagegen entschieden. Den Refresher nutze ich nur für meine Inks aber nicht für die Oxides… Gut zu wissen, dass das funktioniert. Liebe Grüße Nicole
Oh Barbara this has turned out awesome. It is always amazing to see how you can create something so beautiful from everyday stuff. Thank you immensely for this. I too have watched Dephemerember from the beginning but only taking part this year. So looking forward to it and hopefully I will be able to get the journal cover done in time. Otherwise I will just enjoy crafting along with you and Luise during December. Take care and stay blessed.❤
Wow, baby girl! I've been MIA for a few weeks and i've missed SO MUCH! This cover is gorgeous! ...must copy ! At first I thought you were gonna cut the hard cover off (which you did) then reattach the boards with fabric to make the journal more openable. ...but then I love the soft cover as well! What's a girl to do?? I'm severely in love with that bowl, I mean, REALLY! like i'm considering trashing my chores for the day to make one! ...nay, make SOME! oh girl, i MUST stay in the loop! My bad! Love you, angel, MomK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗
I love your cover and ephy is to stinking cute. I am getting so excited for this year. Just for future reference Amazon sells the ring binders with screws that can be added to any kind of spine. cant wait for the next video. tyfs with us.
