Always enjoy snacks. The pages are beautiful. Your talent shows through so well. Loved the flip thru. Thank you for sharing this with us. 🤗🤗

I am so happy to be among those who enjoy working with scrap paper and ephemera. It is just like when I was a kid.

I couldn't sleep, so I was happy to find you decorating Honey's journal, and also enjoyed the flip-through. Those are cool P&M stencils. It's so sweet of Luise to gift you with her lovely bag and scraps and I think she'll love how you put them to good use. The mica stains are gorgeous!🤗🥰

I absolutely love the journal Honey made. The colors you added are so beautiful. Those mica sprays are gorgeous as well, I love metallic colors. 🦋🌸🦋

So glad snacks are back....love it!!

I love the stencils. Perfect mixed media tool to every creator. Every page has so much interest I love it. Barbara, you added magic to every page. Thank you for sharing❤️

What a beautiful bag of scraps from Luise! It's funny how someone else's scraps can be true treasure for a friend! I love getting "scraps" of things from my friends to use in my journals to make them even more special. 😀

Everything turned out absolutely beautiful!!!!!! That journal is a sight to behold!!!!!

Always great snack time!

Love your snacks Barbara. Can't believe you did not splatter any paint on any of today's creations! 😮 😅 Love watching you girl! 🌈💞🌺🙋‍♀️

Your “hot messes” are actually great looking. I even liked the torn page and hoped you wouldn’t cover it, but any outcome is creative! Thank you for sharing with us again, Barbara 💕

I like how you used the numbers and of course Luize's scraps are always welcome. Good job ❤ TFS 😊

I absolutely love this journal!

Such a satisfying video to watch! Your book is beautiful, TFS

Fun to watch -- I was making a master board that I'll cut up for pocket "fodder" -- using up book pages and scraps. Ohhhhh, what a sweet gift from Luisa to get the scraps and bits and pieces, I know you enjoyed those!

This was so much fun. You know me and how excited I get when you’re rifling through the pages looking for a spot to put your newest creation. So this was especially fun, getting to see all the pages as you were searching for one to jazz up. Then at the end when you did a flip through to show us everything. I really love this. Also glad to see snacks are back. And I really enjoyed the longer snack. ♥️♥️♥️

You definitely had fun doing this I can tell lol. Love the additions! And OMD that Iron Gate Mica spray is gorgeous (drool) 😁 Wonderful inspiration! And it seems that people should do scrap swapping more often as it’s exciting seeing colours, stamps, textures & stencils we don’t have in nice pieces begging to be used not hoarded like if they were in big pieces

I have 3 mica sprays, nice effect. Love those scraps ... I unfortunately was not one of 20 winners of precious Luise's scraps, in her giveaway...:(. But on the brightside, pretty sure she used my very old (estate sale) musicsheets (I sent to her with my tag entry) in those beautiful "twin" journals she made for you and Honey, when you visited her ... last May? That made me happy, she did a flip through of both and ... MY tag is in her journal! Sweet! I needed this video today, for journal pages I am creating right now. Thank you for this yummy snack!! 🤗😊 Jeannie... in 🇨🇦 👍

I enjoyed this video very much! Just a tip for your mica sprays….. wipe the nozzles when you finish using them. The mica can dry and clog your spray nozzle. 😊 Hopefully that is not a repeat tip.
