Mrs Cog I just wanted to say a couple of things... first, thank you for sharing your gift with us ALL! And what a gift it is! Second, I’m starting out as a Junk Journal maker/ obsessed fan and I was wondering how long it takes you to make one of your journals? Like this one or the Shakespeare ones, I have made four for practice and given them as gifts as I’m a bit nervous about selling just yet. Ps. When someone asks what a Junk Journal is I tell them to watch one of your videos as I think they are the perfect example of the work, time and love that goes into making one of them. Again, TFS!

Absolutely gorgeous. What fabulous photography journals. I love playing with the camera. The fabric you used for the cover. The lil girl taking the photo of her doll is a fabulous cover choice. The remnence is my favorite color.

These are just lovely! I get so much inspiration from your work! TFS!

I so love your work. Just amazing and lovely! Thank you so much for sharing!

Lol. Oops! I know I already commented somewhere about this.... but here I am again. I always find myself clicking on this vid over and over by accident. (Keeps ending up in my feed) BUUUUT I love it... so, here we go again!

Your work is so incredibly neat and well thought out and lovely. Your video on tea stained papers was the first Journaling video I watched. It was the first spark the lite my fiery love of journaling. Thank you or continuing to add fuel to the fire.

Beautiful and creative. Great theme 💕

Fantastic to know about the blending brushes.Thank you!

Absolutely stunning! So inspiring! Thank you for your ideas. I am just beginning my journey through my children's photos... trying to collect them in a way they will want to look at them as a keepsake. Your work is lovely! Thanks again! Blessings! :)

I loved loved loved the mini journal😍😍

Gorgeous journals, Liz! Thank you so much for sharing.❤️

Just lovely.... They are wonderful!!! 😍

Love,love,love these journals. They are fabulous. I think they are so beautiful.

Wonderful creative work, Mrs. Cog! Thank you for sharing!

So beautiful!! I always get excited when u do these kind of flip thru's!!!

Such beautiful work, Mrs. Cog! I believe they're all my favorites. 💖👍

Beautiful! Love the mini, especially. The colours are go-jo-gorgeous.

Beautiful Journals, love the quote on the pages. That Sari Silk is stunning,

Beautiful, as always! Love love love the colors of Remnants!

Just lovely! The concept is fantastic and I love the photographs and quotes.

These are lovely. Thanks for sharing.

These are beautiful. Such an unusual theme. Its lovely to see so much space for people to use

How interesting! I learned a lot and enjoyed looking through them with you. A lot of work has gone into these beautiful journals. Great stuff!

Oh darn, i so wanted one of these. My father was a photographer by trade. His mother was also a good photographer, it was a hobby for her. She had her own dark room at one point. I unfortunately did not inherit that gene. Your journals are so beautiful. You find the best “stuff”.

Another great crop of journals! You really have a knack for adding depth to your books and tying all the details together.

Beautiful work Elizabeth tyfs ❤️🥰🇨🇦❤️

The aqua covered photo journal is outstanding . Blew me away.

...speechless almost everytime I see one of your journals...You possess a divine given talent!!!! Sitting here smiling with tears in my eyes...there's just something about you...I want to be like you when I grow up...lol Hugs and much love from North Carolina

Really beautiful work!

Incredible work. As a photographer, I especially love the quotes. Your research is so thorough.

Omg...LOST for words💜😘

These are absolutely beautifully perfect. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes, Ali x

I love your work! Such beautiful journals.

Such incredible journals! You found a great use for the Norman Rockwell pages! Love these! TFS the inspiration and creativity, Liz!

Mrs Cog. I love everything you make!!!

just catching up on videos - these are beautiful, I love the photos, snapshots in time. The dark sari silk is such a beautiful colour, so rich. And I really like the black and white photos with the beach blues :)

I assume that you have a typewriter and you are typing your quotes on the pages. I love the way they look. The other thing I wanted to ask about is what type of paper you’re using before you tee dye and coffee stain it. I like the crispiness that you get and there seems to be an opportunity to keep the book not so overwhelmingly bulging. I am just loving your journals.

These are stunning!!

I love the photos, stamping, the dangles, stenciling!! I love everything another masterpiece.......with my colors so fabulous!!!

Such beautiful works of art. I am always enthralled with everything you do, Mrs Cog. I would love to own one of your beautiful journals one day.

These journals are just stunning! I would love to own one of these beauties ❤️

I love these journals

Love your journals and the small one is pretty darn cute.

Your Journals are amazing ❤💙❤ beautyful Picture in it 😍 a great sunday ☺

I just finished my first Golden Book journal and I am so proud of myself. I only put 3 signatures in it but by the time I finished, the book will not close without the ties! I really love making journals and I love your journals. Thanks for sharing your awesome talent with us. Also as an FYI on those worlds greatest brushes, you can purchase makeup brushes just like them on Amazon at a lower price and they work amazingly.

Positively stunning!

I totally adore the stenciling on the pages

Beautiful journals (Donna)

These are all so beautiful but I LOVE the advance reserve journal. Your attention to detail always amazes and inspires me! Although I am just about to finish creating my very first junk journal, I am still saving up to, one day, be able to purchase or preorder one of your fabulous books 🌹x

Amazing! 🤩

Amelia is surely dancing in a turquoise sea😉👍😘❣️😍 A wonderful Luxembourgish photographer was Edward Steichen-the Family Of Man is. Wonderful exhibit here in our Clervaux Castle One more art history lesson that I’m so ever grateful for. Thank you, Liz!!

Absolutely gorgeous! Tfs

I do believe that blue upholstery fabric is literally my couch! I’m sitting next to my couch and it’s the same pattern/texture! 🥰

Love this theme and I always love the funny bits you include lol! I love your personality and it shines through in your art! ❤️ XoXo

This is perfect

The journals are gorgeous as always! I LOVE the Remnants with the teal. How could anyone give this video a thumbs down???

Looking at Rockwell at 19:18...It seems he is drawing/ sketching using a projector that is allowing him to sketch a rough placement of his subject on a canvas. Very interesting!... I always loved his work!!

My granddaughter is going through for photography and I would love to make some thing that look like your journal am not to sure of the measurements I always seem that I can't put many photos without my book looking to bulging,I love your quote do you look them up I love the type look but I don't have a typewriter,I a crafter want a be but have no printer or major items but I am determined I dream to be able to create some things that might look like yours thank you for your inspiration

Oh my stars how gorgeous! Just adore your designs and finally bought that machine of yours too! Love it! Can you help me though I have sewn much material in past I'm new to paper sewing and am curious as to what tension setting I should be using? Even got my husband to flip the card over as you have and wow it's perfect! Thanks Liz for your professional advice 🎯💌👏

@MrsCog

Thank you Jess! Congrats on the new machine and a set up that you like. While everyone has their own preferences for sewing paper, this is what I do. I start by setting the tension just over "0" and zig zag stitch onto index cards (not too thin, not too thick - goldilocks) to test, increase it up to less than "1" and see what your machine thinks. Usually I end up stitching most paper, as well as cotton onto paper, at 1/2. That is the tension set half way to "1". If you get a tangled mess on the bottom of your paper, back off the tension to just above "0" again and start the negotiating process over again with your sewing machine lol. You'll find it's sweet spot soon enough. I did a video about sewing paper a while back. That link is here. Enjoy your new set up! kzread.info/dash/bejne/gaahysSan6_Sgpc.html

Do you have a complete tutorial on making a photo journal? Making the cover Signatures Binding the signatures Start to finish? Enjoyed

BEAUTIFUL! But could you please share The name brand of the “fabulous” brushes you were raving about for stenciling, and where we can find them, please?

I like your journals. They leave room to actually journal! So many of the others I see are beautiful, but I get the feeling the point was in the making, not so much room for actual journaling.

I really like your work! These journals are charming. The quotes add so much. I've always been afraid to include quotes in my artwork, for fear of infringing on copyright.( Maybe it's okay to use short quotes; I dont know.) Am hoping you can shed some light on this for me, please.

I absolutely love these journals!! I have watched many videos but you have inspired me to a whole new level. The simplicity of the pages with just written text is beautiful. I do however if you don’t mind me asking how to do get word to print on the bottom of the page or when you fold it to be at the bottom?

Thank you so much. The materials I use most often to cover journals are upholstery fabrics or heavy weaves similar to tapestry. There are large rolls of them in the back of Joann Fabrics and at Hobby Lobby. Often one can find small portions in a remnants bin at these stores. :-)

Great video, have you ever used cabinet cards in your journals ?

I always love the way you include quotes in almost every page. How did you type the pages? Did you type the quotes in a traditional typewriter before you bind them into a signature? They are all beautiful
