This is will be perfect for my grandparents' and parents' album! Really shabby vintage! Love it! TFS.
This is my kind of book. I am not normally a fan of shabby chic but this is so much more. It's not just a bunch of flowers and lace but a book that really does look vintage and shabby and chic!!! GORGEOUS Michelle! I am definitely gonna copy a few elements from this work of art. HUGS EllenBee
Your book is so pretty- love it. I love all the pieces that are frayed and the lace is wonderful! TFS.
Thanks Leigh - I really appreciate your comments xx Michelle
Another Gorgeous creation Michelle! I always love seeing your videos! TFS hugs Alyson x

I LOVE this book. I am really starting to get into altered books and you did a fantastic job on this one. I might do something like this for pictures I have of some of my ancestors a few generations back. It would be so cool. I love the feel of this book and could see it sitting on a coffee table. Beautiful!

I love it such a great idea, a kind of scrapbooking in a vintage style for the modern lady or man to look through. Wonderful accent too.

Gorgeous Journal. Love every detail.
I'm just getting started on my first altered book. You are such an inspiration!!! I've been watching so many videos re. JJ, etc. and always come back to you. My first JJ was a mini file folder inspired by your tutorial. You crack me up, love watching you and wonder how you manage to open Miss Angie mail without wetting yourself - you're a force to be reckoned with xxx

I love it - one of my fav things is old photos and this is a fantastic way to use them.
Love this book! I have a lot of vintage photos of family members - and a lot of pattern pieces and buttons. I must make something like this. Thanks for the inspiration!
OMG! Love it! Love it! Love it!
Thanks for the lovely comments. I adore postcards too and collect them any and every where The journal makings come from the same place ... anywhere I can find them in my budget. Lots of goodies from charity shops! I hope your creativity comes back soon!! xx Michelle
Not really my type of thing, but I still had to give kudos. That is great looking. Very well done. I might have to do something similar to this for my mother's bday using copies of her wedding pics. Good job.

The book is absolutely beautiful! tfs
This is stunning!! 😍
I love that! It really gave me some inspiration and ideas. Thankyou
Altered books are good therapy for me because i was such a control freak, and OCD about things. Just in time too because now im in love with the abundance of them not to mention the richness. Especially in the gypsy journals. Ive only made a vintage card so far but cant wait to get stuck into it. I have so many different projects going as gifts etc I'm not sure if im turning left or right lol. Tfs Love & light 🌹
Stunning really!!! Tfs!!
This book is stunning. I love it.
What a fun and Beautiful book!!! I just love it!! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration :)
HI Denise I did this video as a show and tell. I haven't done a tutorial on this. I did remove about half of the pages and then glued the remainder into a block as a base for decoration. Have fun xx Michelle

I love what you did! It's just gorgeous. I do have several old family photos and am considering putting together a book like this to display them. Thanks for the inspiration.

Oooh Thanks you so much xx Michelle
Thank you have fun playing! xx Michelle
Very beautiful!
Thank you for you lovely comments xx Michelle
I download them from the graphics fairy -she has a fabulous collection of free images. Have fun xx Michelle
I think I ripped out about half of the pages first, spaced throughout the book to leave room for the bulk that was to be added. I created 10 pages and glued together approx 4-5 for each. Hope this helps! have fun xx Michelle
Omg I am in love this Michelle u are amazing how do u do it... Lol they always make me nervous... Would love to see a start to finish how u put them together.. Wonder if nz has more stuff than here.... So want one now lol
Loved it!!
What a gorgeous gorgeous book. love so much. im a new subbie
It’s a beautiful book
It looks great; Did I miss it or did you forget to tell us what you did with the original book pages? Did you just glue some pages together to use as your new page for the book?
I LOVE your videos. I just discovered them today. I used to collect postcards for years, with the idea of making some kind of book of them. A couple of years ago a friend gave me a stack of old art postcards. I started putting them in a book but my creativity has taken off and I don't know when she'll be back. I really like your style so keep the videos coming. There aren't many people I would watch for an hour and go back over the videos Love your accent. Where did you get the journal makings?
Love dress pattern, fun to use and cheap! xx Michelle
Une merveille 👏
It looks beautiful. Reminds me of the titanic for some reason lol and I love your accent
Those tassels were a real find! I do altered books too though not vintage ones, but with some vintage pages. What kind of printer did you use? Isn’t making these books a hoot? Mine are in the LisaMarie style. Yours is very beautiful, what next?
