    Another project idea turns out beautiful. The prints are gorgeous. Thank you again for sharing.
  • @rickiquilt
    This is soooo great!!! I love what you did with all the pages. I think the brayering gave it so much character.
  • @RobinfromCA
    Oh, that binding looks so much harder than sewing! I love the look of the braying on the banana paper and the contrast of the grunge with the delicate flowers. Digital Collage Club is so much fun!
  • What a unique idea! Why it might be more difficult to a sewn spine it’s different! Something new that would become easier the more you do it! Thanks for sharing!
  • @wendyk2557
    Love how it turned out with the Digital Collage Club kit.
  • Many thanks, Barbara! Enjoyed this tutorial. Your journal is beautiful! After watching this, I think I will stick to sewing my signatures in! 😅 Warmest aloha!💕🌺🌈✨️🙋‍♀️
  • @Jeannes1234
    Another interesting binding process. It turned out great Barbara. Thanks for trying it out for us.❤
  • @cathykaden
    I love your urban colorful papers ❤❤❤!
  • @tam258
    Very cute little book compilation - I especially love the purple packaging paper. I really love this style of grungy/shabby junk/art journal and I think the wonky irregularities add to the overall look. This binding style I’ve used before to bind some of my old greeting cards, that I’ve collected over the years, together into a book (better than having them stored away in boxes in cupboards etc where I never look).
  • I love your work so much and it's so inspiring. Thank you for everything you do and everything you show in your tutorials. I especially like when you explain how you build your journals and pages.
  • Oooohhhh my I love this journal. The vibrant/grungy look/colors is awesome.
  • What a beautiful journal!!😍. The front cover is my favorite. I love how you can laugh at yourself. That’s important because it helps us to be patient with ourselves too. Thank you for sharing the great binding technique too. 😍
  • @bobbiwest6625
    I too love your colors in your journal. I went ahead and fixed a five signature trial journal. I did have to add more to my cut and folded strips. But it turned out ok. I added bands to the strips so my pages could be removed, or added to. Decided to only use it for coffee stained papers, or inked, or a few postage stamp papers. All to be used as originals, and copies made to use. Was a quicker project than expected, loads fun. Take care, be safe. Happy crafting everyone.
  • @RedArrowTinker
    I think this little journal is wonderful! Adding the gesso really helped the cohesiveness of the pages. I like the wiggliness of it too. The corrugated cardboard covers are just perfect. In a way, it reminds me of the magical creatures book from Harry Potter that snapped at the children when they opened it.
  • @klaire74
    Is cute, and i love that is a mixed journal, is open to every direction, from artsy to strictly journaling. ♥♥♥
  • @gerlindebesl2958
    Not bad and very interesting, thank you for showing and best greetings, Gerlinde
