Mini File Folder Journal Inspired by Darlene McConnachie
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I’m always excited and inspired by other artists in our community and I came accross a video by Darlene McConnachie the other week where Darlene created a mini journal from a couple of file folders. I've created one with a few changes to suit my own style and I thoroughly recommend watching the original video where the end result is slightly different.
Here is the link to the original video: • Mini File Folder Journ...

Hi Ceri, I just wanted to say I never fast forward your presentations, I do with many others, but never yours. I love your very engaging chat, it relaxes and captivates the attention and therefore cements my learnings in an easy flow. Thank you. ( I also thank you for not putting music to your tutorials or interrupting your demonstration with a fast forward, as we all know, we can do that ourselves) Have a fabby time in the USA)

Thank you Jane, I do occasionally put in sped up footage to try and keep the length of the video to a manageable upload length…..but it’s very rare. Thank you for watching.

If I could thumbs up your comment a thousand times, I would!!! Often crafters think that everyone watching a video is a crafter too, but not so and when you’re just starting out, you truly need all the help you can get!
I just love the way u show how to do all steps !!! And I NEVER fast forward and of your steps u show.
I found this old video. Im soooo happy about it. A lady tried showing something similar but think she lost us all half way. No fast forward on your videos. I enjoy watching the whole video. Very excited about this. Thank you
I have to tell you that there is not a moment of boring watching your entire process. I believe how much care you put into precision is inspiring. I learn so much ! There is no rush, the less rush the better because art is a form of meditation. Thank you.

Absolutely ❤ this little book. I intend to make one ( it will be my first!) to gift to a friend who does journeling. Ceri, I SO enjoy watching and listening to you as you go through the process of each project...even if it's something that I 've never done. Doesn't mean that I never WILL, but I'm on the homestretch, so I 'd best " put a skip in it" !!! 😉😁
You are such a great teacher! I love the way you explain things so clearly! This is the cutest journal, so versatile…love it!

What an adorable little journal! I think I want to do one for my daughter, but Halloween themed, as she loves Halloween. She decorates a lot, and I feel this mini journal won't take up lots of space, but make a fine addition to her decor. Possibly laying at the base of a spooky calendelabra she has. Thank you so much for sharing, and for your excellent style of teaching! I also don't fast forward. My brain seems to need the repeating of the process anyway, to get it to stick in there. *~*

It was inspiring to see your organized boxes of journaling cards/tags. I’m a very organized/methodical person as well, and the boxes were a great idea. I get overwhelmed and have a difficult time trying to make decisions if things are in a hodgepodge. Love this journal. It’s nice to have something I can create in one afternoon, when I’m maybe not feeling well and need that wonderful boost I get from creating something. It doesn’t seem that ive wasted a whole day feeling bad. Thank you!
